Sickened 8 years, 9 months ago on Boston man arrested for marijuana possession in Harbour Island

Was he arrested for dangerous drugs OR marijuana? It cannot be both as marijuana is not a dangerous drug. We need to stop this absurd law of going to jail for a joint. The worst punishment for possession of a joint should be the police destroying the joint.

Why are small amounts of marijuana for personal use even illegal? What a travesty of "free will" human dignity. When will we allow people to make their own choices and live their own lives?

The PLP loves to do business with crooks, loves defending crooks and is itself the number one criminal organization in the Bahamas. Bahamians, take back this country or suffer the consequences.

DreamerX 8 years, 9 months ago on Corrections Officer arrested for marijuana possession at prison

I agree with you, it should be legalized. And I deplore anyone using the drug as the reason this story is important for a bad action.

I believe the underlying point is that a corrupt officer of the prisons was either illegally confiscating for person interest or illegally providing an illegal substance to people imprisoned.

Bout dangerous drug.....

Legalize weed now. It is a benign drug. Liquor is more dangerous. There is no such thing as being inebriated from weed.

Legalize this gift from God now.....

They say universal health BUT the real reason is because Government is paying out too much for the Civil Servants.

Add the fact that the PHA, due to a total lack of any management, looses more money than Bahamasair.

Government just wants more money from the public to throw away on money losing operations.

Universal health is just a smoke screen for taking more money to waste.

Well_mudda_take_sic 9 years, 2 months ago on Poor audits leave COB unable to use $16.1m loan

Can you imagine holding a degree of any kind from COB? In the same way the Council and Administrators of COB have no accountability and/or responsibility for COB's financial reporting requirements, you can be rest assured that its educators have little to no accountability and/or responsibility for the quality of its educational/degree programmes. It's perhaps most fitting that COB's business school is named after Franky Wilson aka Snake and that the Dean of its business school is (was?) Remelda Moxey. Alfred Sears certainly did nothing to improve things and Rodney Smith is grossly over paid in terms of his worth to COB. In recent years COB has been flushed down the proverbial toilet by the poor calibre of its Council members and administrators, leaving graduates from recent years with costly degrees that they may as well use to wipe their cans with. The local private/business community and the more reputable colleges and universities abroad all know only too well that COB graduates in recent times have been seriously short changed in the quality of their education. It must be so embarrassing to be among the older alumni of COB! Meanwhile Perry Christie clearly believes COB's students need only learn his junkanoo shuffle and how to be courteous to his new Chinese friends in order to be prepared for the dismal course ahead that he has charted for them in life. How very sad.

birdie, You are the biggest idiot on the Tribune's comments sections by far. Your blind loyalty t o the PLP and brown nosing behaviour is an embarrassment. Your head must be so far up some of these politicians back sides for you to mouth off the nonsense and drivel that you do. You are a pathetic excuse of a human being.

Well_mudda_take_sic 9 years, 2 months ago on Gov’t to buy UBS’ East Bay St. HQ

This property is unconventional and in many respects ill-suited to the Tropics and its lousy low lying land location makes it very prone to severe flooding. Also, the annual maintenance costs for this property are astronomical. Yet another shining example of our VAT dollars and National Insurance Funds being flushed down the proverbial toilet so a select few of Christie's business cronies can profiteer off the over burdened backs of honest hard working Bahamians. Yes, Christie is indeed a greedy uncaring schmuck of the highest order! And to think that fellas like John Rolle and Gowan Bowe assured us that the PLP government would do the right thing and use our VAT dollars to pay down our National Debt and reduce our Debt to GDP Ratio! Wow...what fools those two turned out to be.....and you should never again believe a word that comes out of their mouths....they are no different than Christie himself....nothing but hot air fools and liars selling the people a worthless bill of goods!

lkalikl 9 years, 2 months ago on Institution of failed processes, says damning 2011 audit of COB

So, what they are really saying is, the government appointed crony who is tasked with overseeing COB's accounts is not doing their job at all. This person should be fired and a real CFO should be appointed, but because our corrupt government outright condones theft from public institutions, as long as the right people are doing the tiefing and they vote the right way, nothing will be done about this. No one will be held accountable and the stink PLP rug will be pulled over yet another national mess and yet another national embarrassment.

Is this really how we want our College/University to be run? Why must everything our government is involved with turn to $%^!? How are we going to save the future of this country if we can't even keep proper books at the College? Don't they have a school of accounting there? Why not involve the school of accounting in the process and let the students work as interns with the accounting department of the college? Fire all the dead wood 'friends, family and lovers' appointees and hire qualified and serious people?

HarryWyckoff 9 years, 2 months ago on PLP Chairman says FNM's VAT for hurricane relief suggestion is 'drivel'

Pintard has a point.

We were told VAT was being introduced to pay down national debt caused by borrowing.

Using it to avoid borrowing more is perfectly reasonable.

Unless, of course, this corrupt, parasite of a government has already spent tha VAT revenue on something else.

Like the PMs new home, or topping up personal bank accounts.

Which is incredibly likely. Almost a certainty, in fact

So Mr Robers.... shut up and sit small. You are nothing more than the corrupt, pathetic government you serve.

The country stands with you, young Mr. Mackey. The country does not stand with the PM and shame on the Tribune for leading with a headline that labelled your painting tasteless, even though most Bahamians love your painting and support your freedom of speech to express yourself through art. The Tribune should not have done that. They call out the government time and time again, but when a Bahamian artist does it, they call it tasteless in the headline? You are a voice for the voiceless and too many Bahamians feel like their voices have been ignored by this shameless, deceitful and corrupt government that lies and steals from the people without a second thought. Shame on this government and shame on our worthless PM and his worthless Cabinet.
