Bahamians like a lot of folks around the globe practice discrimination and try to justify it. We do have an immigration problem but an immigrant is still a person. They are still entitled to fair treatment. Even being illegal they still have rights as human beings. As a Bahamian I am sometimes ashamed at our attitude towards our brothers and sisters from Haiti. People are people. Nationality doesn't make you less than human.
If we want to say we're a Christian nation we need to put Christ back in Christian.
The police usually take a nonchalant attitude towards reports of dogs chasing people or being extra aggressive. The questions are usually "were you bitten"? If the answer is then it's like what do you want us to do? It could be a Rottweiler, a Pitbull, they just don't care.
Someone was mauled. They're encouraging people to.reguster their dogs. Seriously? Is that the answer? Can we let per owners know that they will be held responsible for their pets? Unbelievable!
More investments sounds good. But, Mike needs to ensure the current properties are being properly maintained first. I guess he wants to.increase the number of annoyed tenants.
Not sure why Mr. Ingraham is taking this public platform to.make a case for the party. It's better that he sits back and reserves his public commentary for rallies or conventions. When he needed to speak up when it would have been really in the best interest of the people he decided to be quiet.
Is the PLP the answer 5o our problems, no? Ate the issues Mr. Ingraham speaks of just manifesting themselves within this one year of PLP governance? No. So, let's not play the political spin game. Both parties have demonstrated the inability tomtackle tough issues. Both parties have dropped the ball in the overall management if the country. So, let's grow up people and start thinking about nation building. If you have ideas go publicly and give those to whomever is in power, for the greater good of the country.
It's good to see these talks going on. Would be better to see the police focused on violent crime instead. Yes, AML issues can be connected to major offenses. But, I would prefer to see an article on talks with experts on what the hell they are doing wrong in the fight against crime. To be fair the AG office, the courts and the legislative arm need to do something. It's ridiculous!
Some rough comments here. If the Minister is sincere about this idea, it would be a very positive step. Society would benefit from former inmates changing their lives for the better. We don't need to have repeat offenders. It would be good to turn an inmate to a contributing member of society.
Interesting! That all sounds nice. It just so amazing that
1. None of that got done during this term.
2. If they have an idea to.improve the Covid pandemic item, why not do that now while you are in the middle of a crisis?
3. Where are we going to get the money from for these ideas?
More importantly, going back to my first point, if they had so many great ideas to implement to benefit the nation, some of these should have already been implemented. That's not to give a point to the current opposition. I am sure their manifesto promises a lot as always. Everybody promising things and in their history they've shown they don't deliver.
Can we get people who actually care about the country?
I had expected something different from Alicia. Maybe I'm being unfair. I understand the point of demanding more from those offering themselves for positions of leadership, but something here is fundamentally flawed. Why in the midst of a medical emergency are we having an election? Isn't the very health and safety of our population the most paramount thing right now? How do we have a snap election when people are sick and dying with no.end in sight? How do campaigns go on with risk of expsoure? How do we hold elections in voting booths, etc. when we can not guarantee the safety to place such votes?
Why are in 2021 September 16th casting votes when people are dying like dogs in our healthcare system because our resources are strained and we have no solution to the problem? But, someone in their wisdom believed that now is the time to have an election.
We need living citizens. We need people to take care of their loved ones. We need to have hope for a better tomorrow. No one is standing up and challenging this complete insanity. We have former leaders looking for photo ops instead of showing that they give a damn about our country or our people. This is a disgrace.
This is a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, dark day in our history.

Sounds so philanthropic! Some of those probably need to.be fed because they lost all their money gambling (feeding their addiction) at Island Luck.
How about minimizing the destruction of families by gambling. That may more useful a plate of food.
