Do not understand why the gaming houses are so demonized, they do not hold a gun to anyone heads and say enter and play or you die, they pay more taxes than any other businesses which go into the public treasury, in crises, they help more person than all of the business combined black or white, they are still paying salaries for their staff keeping them off the burden of NIB, just because they are owned by blacks it's a problem, if they were owned by whites or Chinese there would be no outcry. There are many businesses owned by whites with hundreds of millions and millions and they will help only themselves, they do nothing for the inner cities, when a person turns18 they are considered an adult allowing them to vote if they choose to or not, the same goes for any person 18yrs or older when it comes to visiting the gaming houses. we live in a democratic country no a communice state, we pretend to be a Christian society but turn our backs to all other unChristian like activities which make us pure hypocrites. Black people needs to stop hating and tearing each other down for their own jealous and selfish reasons.
Agreed, so sad that he didn't feel it necessary to fallow procedure like everyone else is supposed to, now the 6 person landing must also be made to pay for breaking the curfew, unauthorized landing and just as the person who wanted to get food during the curfew caught, charged and fined, these same 6 people must also be treated in the same way.
Why do we have CCT- Cameras costing millions of dollars installed if they can't identify anything and only shows blurry and very poor footage, what a waste of millions.
The Haitian MV Fish Farmer leaves Potters cay dock and travels the long-distance ca. (19hrs) to the vicinity of Long Island (10 miles of the coast) No Fire. The Captain called for assistance there's a sick woman onboard and I would assume at this time there was No Fire, three (3) hours later the Captain reported no need for assistance the sick women have died, No Fire reported at this time, and then all of a sudden this steel hull vessel explodes and is engulfed in flames and miraculously everyone else aboard gets off the ship, only the supposedly dead woman remains on the ship. This stinks of something foul, Stevie Wonder could see through this, but knowing how things are investigated and reported we will most likely never know what happened to the Haitian vessel, MV Fish Farmer. Why were the Captain and occupants not tested BEFORE embarking on their journey from Nassau to Haiti? What makes me wonder, how is it that foreign vessels are able to move about our shores and the Bahamian vessels can't, Americans flying in, Haitian vessels sailing out?
Smart move American P-residents, donate something essential and be allowed to enter the country. That is one sure way of getting back to your second home, others should follow suit, God knows we need and can use all the assistance we can get, besides we don't want the Chinese to be showing the Americans up. I don't trust Americans' intentions at times and I trust the Chinese even less.
Members of parliament mainly the ones in government needs to check themselves before they speak to the public, they have a trend of making insensitive statements, if you want hot water put a tub in the sun, stop buying hair weaves or shopping so you can pay your BPL bill, now you buying food instead of paying rent in a time when thousands are out of a job and hungry. Should a person with $300. to spend for the month pay their rent and starve.
When flying to the USA everyone takes off their shoes gladly without being asked and without a squeak. When they arrive in the USA and jumps into a vehicle they put on their seatbelts, automatically. When in the USA they comply to the T. When they return home they feel as though now I am home I don't have to respect any laws of the Bahamas they don't want to comply, they only want to complain and stir up trouble. If the protocol is shoes have to be removed, then remove them, the time you take being stubborn, non-complainant, argumentative, running around complaining you can just do like when in the usa. comply.
When proven the aggressor should be made to pay for **his** or **her** aggressiveness. This includes all expenses involved in their upkeeping while away from home.
