By law, by the constitution, woman are less than men. This has to change. It's time for this country to stop being an ignorant backwater. If Bahamians don't see an inequality then they should have no problem voting 'YES'

You hit the nail on the head. Effective Property Taxes and Property Standards are desperately needed. Vacant land should be taxed, and there should be no minimum for value before getting taxed. If vacant land was taxed then owners would be forced to improve it or sell it, otherwise it would simply cost them money every year. Property standards would force owners with derelict buildings to repair them or pay a fine. This would also help to clean our neighborhoods. And you are also right that properties with excessive arrears should be auctioned with the proceeds first going to cover the taxes and then any left can be passed onto the original owner. This is what happens in all of the first world. Slackness on our property taxes costs every single Bahamian.

If there is a vigilante group killing "menaces to society" then the are absolutely terrible at their job.

Yes, yes they are.

Fair enough. That's a legitimate stance to take and thanks for the response.

Why would she consider another island? The government has shown that they do not care about the health of the people living here. It's not just having to deal with smoke, it's living with a leadership that has no interest in the wellbeing of the country.

In no imagined situation are we "in the frying pan" and the rest of the world is "the fire".

If you have an actual argument, I'm sure we would all love to here it. Sadly the only retorts you are able to come up with are hollow insults.

I see you're adding so much to the discussion.

Get an education! Being ignorant is not nearly as cool as you think it is.
