America is a capitalist country, meaning that people will take advantage of you legally, It is like being a crook legally. Bahamas is a corrupt country meaning people just do what they wanted to do because they know someone who will get them off the hook or their in a power position where they could get away with it. Also, the Government and uppity people look at the rest of the population as peasants, even if they have rights they don't know it and if they do know it there is so many obstacle in their way to impede them from doing something about it. Lastly, since the culture is corrupt, there is a part of most of us who understand and condone this type of behaviour.

That is the exact thing I'm talking about, Bahamian culture is corrupt and being tricky would get you brownie points. If you think about our folk tales that was told to us, it was about being slicksters: Bookie and Ber Rabbi, Anansi, Shine, and others. All of these stories are about being slick and I can't recall hearing a folk tale about someone working hard by the rules and making it. These stories and other factors only add to the influence of being trickers

Prime example of my two earlier post.

Because most Bahamian don't see it either, we are a corrupt country. Don't get me wrong, I believe what he did was wrong, but most Bahamians who notice it are FNM, and if HAI had did it then the PLP would have notice it is wrong. Bahamians only notice right and wrong along party lines and when it directly affect them.

Isn't that part of Bahamian culture? We vote Shane Gibson in, even though he went through all of that scandal little more than five years ago, also, his account increased exponentially during his time in the immigration department. Drug dealers and numbers bosses are revered, We cheat on the custom line and don't feel the least bit guilty about it, we allow cronyism to go on even though there is more qualified individuals applying for the job, I can go on and on about the culture and most of us will laugh about it like it is some kind of joke. The truth of the matter is the Bahamas is a corrupt country and most people only see a problem with it if they get the wrong side of the stick.

As a citizen one must care about everything a politician say, that is the reason why things change for the worst and no body notice it until i is too late.

It is just a fishing expedition, sometimes when a person goes fishing they will catch a fish by luck. Maybe snag one or something, the main problem is if the Brits and the French settle just to save face, what will happen to the cut that the Bahamas recieves? That money would be in the cookie jar for some of them to raid at their leisure.

If they are going to push for this that happen 400 years ago, who is going to push for reparations for some of the folks from Grand Bahama who had their land stole by the Port Authority just 40-50 years ago. Now if slavery have an affect on us as a country from then to now, judge the effect that Port Authority put on some of us who ancestors had land stolen from them that would be worths millions now. Get together Grand Bahamians and force the government to work for us on our lost that happened just a few decades ago.

You know they light him up in that station, there is no way in God's great earth would this guy just roll on himself and then carry the Police to the grave site.

VinceP, what make you think a man of God should be poor? That is foolishness, read and understand the scriptures before making those type of comments. Now, there are a lot of false prophets that uses the word just for wealth, but don't just disqualify someone because they are making money.
