Why can't we discuss the issue without labeling people who do not support your position? Not because they say something you don't garee with means that they are "idiots" and "dumb". It shows your lack of intellect when your way of discussing the points is to attack the presenter ... truly juvenile ...

My response had nothing to do with protection from discrimination because I believe ALL persons should be free from discrimination ... inclding the Hatians and Jamaicans among us ... as well as those of us who choose not to support homosexuality for whatever reason. Always amazes me how persons who speak so eloquently about equal rights for ALL take to bashing those who don't support their point of view.

It always ticks me off whenever you and others label someone as phobic because they do not agree with or support homosexuality. Maybe you should check out the meaning and generally accepted use of the word "phobia" before you start labeling people with clinical pshycology illnesses. What is so sick about not agreeing with or supporting another person's choice of lifestyle? Based on your usage, I guess I have cigarette, alcohol, stupidity, corruption, et al phobias. Sound like I sick bad!!!

Sadly, I believe it will be given to a PLP crony with little or no regard for qualifications. I like how they force Vogle to resign and say they reach a MUTUAL understanding ... yeah right ... how much did they have to pay her out so that one of theirs could get it???

Are you then implying that it is OK to waste taxpayers' money because Hubert did it? Because THAT would be asinine.

**Problem solved!!!!** ... the minister has sympathised.

I do not see the victimization here ... if some one on the inside is beaching any of the conditions of their employment by giving privileged informtion to others on the outside, I think they should be fired ... whether they work in goverment or not ... whether they give the information to the PLP or FNM or DNA or simply another competitor. Let them go try that in a law firm or other private sector companies and see how long they keep their jobs.

*“Why is it that we are so afraid to do it or jealous to do it or think that there is something wrong with having it?* ... the Minister asks. Here Sir is the answer ... **we do not have the money!!!!!!!** Your goverment is telling everybody, from health to education to cut their budgets by some 25% yet you want to splurge on a PM's residence at this time and expect us struggling Bahamians to take you all seriously.

As per usual with the PLP, the decision making balls are missing.

All this tells us is that the current government **will not** do anything differently from the past one ... they wasted resources, rented from family, gave perks to supporters ... so we can do it too because they do not have the moral authority to question us ... while all this time the Bahamian people (who they claim to believe in) are the ones taking it up the backside. Time for something new I say ... time for **REAL** change.
