It has been for decades!

Please do not forget that if you do not have a separate FLOOD insurance any hurricane damage done to any property - the major damage done by flood makes claims null and void, read the small print or save your hard earned payment for what you may expect and the negative possible and expected remuneration. Challenge - with a shotgun smart lawyer if necessary

You are - of course being facetious!

There should be one essential caveat with all new employees of all ministries - buy your own car, pay your own bills and whatever you save from your salaries upon retirement is yours. There CANNOT be this forever public funding of pensions ever again.

This man is obviously bereft of his senses and must be relieved of his duty immediately. He has no concept of the adverse consequences of such a situation.

I would think that Smith would hold his tongue. That property belongs to the original owners, not the squatters that infested the property. Think of this. Original owners were not able to rescue their property because of the inability to remove the squatters. Dorian did it for them. If Smith wishes to allow half of Haiti to invade tha Bahamas. At any point, a destroyed property reverts to its original ownership. In fact looking at the long run, the responsible Bahamians (lesser and greater} have less children (two to three maximum), so that they can be reasonably afforded and educated. Others have multitudes as is their culture. These will be overpowering the reasonable citizenry, they will expect the taxpayers to provide schooling health and security without giving fair contribution themselves. At the end game, we will lose our country as their progeny takes over our country in adulthood and enlists themselves as the destroyers of our world, as they at the same time are taught to hate and defame us, the quiet originators of our country almost 400 years in the past who had a better view of the furure. I cry for my heritage.

I suppose that it will be near impossible for those under pressure to 'Spend A Penny' after this!

They should be called 'Cennies' as they are cents - not pence (thus pennies). However, these differences - it appears will be moot by the end of next year. I remember when the U.K. went decimal, a friend bought boxes and boxes of farthings, Ha'pennies and pennies, also all of the larger denominations. He has done well by selling them to collectors remembering that time and interested younger generations who enjoy tangible history.

There are people who actually own the properties where there shanty towns were built. Will they be compensated or is this a case of eminent domain?

I enjoy reading the regular contributions made by the same know it all uninformed jackasses - it makes this site so entertaining! And another 'Tradewinds' on another site is similarly as removed from reality and so entertaining!
