So, what are you suggesting is that we, Bahamians, are so obtuse that we vote based on what the PLP did back in 2002? Nonsense! Oh, and by the way, let us put petty politics aside, the 2002 referendum deserved to fail - not because of anything the PLP did, but rather the process was convoluted and the government of the day (read: Hubert Ingraham) was so arrogant that he thought the FNM could do no wrong and, by merely presenting any slapdash nonsense to the Bahamian people, it would pass. He was taught a very needed lesson in humility. So, no, sheeprunner, the referendum process has not been hijacked, that's just silly to suggest that.
Clamshell, in no way am I trying to call you a bad name, but man, I don't believe you...that never happened as you described it. We (Bahamas) are not that bad...are we?
Because he deserved a military funeral EasternGate! That was not charity on behalf of the government. A fallen soldier deserves the honour of a military funeral.
Would the good journalist, Riel, perhaps care to advise the reader just who her deceased father is? Seems pertinent to this article seeing that the exemplary young lady is saddened that her father was not there to witness her wonderful accomplishment. Or, for that matter, let us know who her mother is. "Who, what, when, where, why, how"...journalism, as is most things of value in The Bahamas, is very much dead.
Disagree, Economist. And, I understand that Tribune message board in not the best place for a nuanced discussion on immigration but, you can't regularize an illegal act - which by the way is what most (not all) of the undocumented immigrants have committed. Human beings that arrived here illegally should not be gifted with a pardon for said illegal act. Is that not the same thing we did with the "numbers" boys? Pardoned an illegal act. And, judging by the comments on this board from Muddasick, et. al, that act did not go over well with the Bahamian people.
Um, cause your son is a citizen of this country and should be ready, at all times, to either defend the country or assist in capacity building at all costs. This is exactly the hypocrisy in this country. Everyone whines and complains about how "bad things are" and then when a reasonable solution is proffered, immediately try and find loop holes to get out of it. Btw, can you please explain who would be exempt from the program, i.e., what is the definition of "good family"? Income? Lineage?
