To MillerA:
I understand where you are coming from with the age thing. However, our politicians are not trained to be leaders or ministers; most of what happens is by luck and chance or a senior “old ” civil servant guides them. Where is this young leadership you are talking about; I am not seeing it in either party. Tell the truth I would rather David thomp or Owen at this juncture; these will be very difficult times for us. Most of your young pretenders are jokers. Name one of them who stands for something. Do not name MIA and her vile lifestyle.

@ David

I understand that the DLP administration has decided to have BTII settle out of Court with Lagon, the company which had it’s contract for the marina retracted.

The sum being bandied about is US$24 million. Please can you ask around and see if true.

@Lemuel:
“Do not name MIA and her vile lifestyle.”

What do you mean by “vile lifestyle”? Has the person you are painting with a very dirty brush ever been involved in any known corrupt practices? Did she take money from Greenverbs? Was she deemed to be incompetent by her boss, the come-back kid.

If you want a saint as a political leader, say so and therefore recommend one from among your supporters who is a member of pseudo- theocratic fraternity. Maybe Rev. Jones can fulfill his long desired dream of becoming the No.1 man, and practise the art of demonization. They say charity begins at home and he will be well advised to heed this pearl of wisdom.

But this country, despite being wrapped in cloak of hypocrisy and double standards NEEDS a leader with VISION, intellectual competence, the ability motivate and inspire people to follow a different path to socio-economic development and last, but no less important, the ability to communicate in a way that the average person can understand without the use of highfaluting words that few understand and make Bajans look like buffoons in the eyes of foreign observers.
Take your pick! A man from among the lot of corrupt, bribe taking, of equally questionable moral practices, visionless and burnt out, unable to contact with the average person, especially the future of Barbados, the youth; or a person who has demonstrated all the qualities of a potential leader with the requisite on the-job-training and experience?
A person’s so–called moral peccadilloes are just what make him or her human. Since you are so judgmental you must be seized with all the factual evidence to reach such a conclusion; evidence you could have only come in possession of if you were ‘on the inside’- privy to and participated in these alleged acts of moral decadence and implied sexual depravity.
Are you clean enough to judge?

To MillerA:
I have also dealt with this public relations foolishness of her being bright; ask my friend Obidiant. He does not respond to me any more. Sir, while at school or university she was not bright. Rest this non sense of yours. Ask her if she still loves to smoke, when you get an answer; do not be ashame to come back and ask for an excuse by the BU family.

@ Health & King:
“The sum being bandied about is US$24 million. Please can you ask around and see if true.”

Where is this money going to come? The Consolidated Fund? Maybe they plan to suspend the next payment due for the prison!

If it is going to come from the Consolidated Fund it has to be approved by Parliament. Would they be placing the blame for this act of political ineptness and fall out from bold-faced corruption at the doors of the BLP? But OSA has already taken the blame for every financial misdeed during his watch. This one will be too heavy to carry and should be placed at the doors of those who are culpable- one dead and the other soon to be jettisoned, if the boss man has the gumption.

@ Lemuel:
How do you know these things about the target for your vilification unless you are really an insider who might have been right in the midst of the bed of immorality.
Both the consumption of tobacco and alcohol attract very high taxes in Bim. Which one is more immoral than the other? Maybe the “seetru” man can answer. But I can tell you that domestic violence is a criminal offence. What is your moral position on a man washing his wife with licks, Mr. Moral High Priest?

@ CCC:
When you pay a visit to your neigbour’s house and a “not too nice” odour lingers in the air, what would you say? “Man, your house smells stink let me leave here now!”
Or in the more polite and diplomatic way: “Oh dear, it’s so warm inside, can we go outside and chat for a while?”

Time, CCC, will prove who is right on the money and who is misguided and blinkered by political glaucoma.

To Miler A:
Have to go but could not left without providing you with this one. How do you defend Mia who is prepared to go after her former employee to the extent of having her name removed from a list of potential employees to be interviewed. Ask her why she did that to her former personal aide. This vileness goes beyond wicking women and beating them to pulp; it goes to the heart of what is decent and right and moral. Things that Mia could never collide with in a million years. I have to go.

@ Lemuel:
‘I do not intend to defend any man who beats his wife, but how do you defend Mia breaking another woman’s jaw bone with a piece of wood.”……. “Ask her why she did that to her former personal aide. This vileness goes beyond wicking women and beating them to pulp; it goes to the heart of what is decent and right and moral”.

Hi lemuel! Or should I suggest you change your sobriquet to “Lynette” more in keeping with bitchy arrows of vengeance you keep shooting at this concocted demon confusing your head?
The more you speak the more I suspect a personal vendetta is at play here. You claim to be a “fair and morally upright” person does not stand up to the light. Why would a fair minded, morally upright, concerned for justice and enforcement of the Law engage in gossip, rumour mongering and the turning of a blind eye to the perpetration of serious violence (serious and aggravated bodily harm) against an innocent female like yourself.

After all you were there and could have defended the poor victim or could have reported the matter to the police and be a sworn witness to this horrific event which happened right before your very eyes. Or is it that the fight was over you and the perpetrator of this violent criminal act could not “tek de horn and galong, galong!” Maybe you feel that the tentacles of this corrupt vampire stretch as far the law enforcement agencies?

Your intricate knowledge of these dastardly sexual escapades, criminally violent acts, and victimization of past employees is clearly indicative of a much more cosy and intimate past association than you would wish us to know.

@ David
These comments getting libel-esque. I hope you are beyond reproach.

When wunna going to conclude the obvious, that is the Bs vs Ds in Parliament is PURE THEATRE to entertain the naive!

Please consult your reference works for CHIMERA!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Miller, you are dithering and dipsy-doodling on whom you are pushing to be the REAL next P.M., but What is your moral position (still bearing in mind that domestic violence is a criminal offence) on a woman washing her woman of interest in licks, to the point the the woman of interest’s mother , had to intervene and ask the woman beater to leave her house?” Boy, what is it about Green Hill and other areas near to it?

MillerA:
Or should I say Mia. You have just exposed yourself. i knew that you were taking these revelations too personally. No I am not lynette or who else you have unfaired. Why should we trust our future to you; to see you weave a web of broken women all vendettas all over the place. The only thing you are capable of is bullying people. oh how you wish you could pull me through this web site. after the shock, you would running for shelter.

wait any body ever hear bout EWB in de apron wid de boxy out and cammie in de panama hat ??

More Americans than Chinese can’t put food on the table

The number of Americans who lack access to basic necessities like food and health care is now higher than it was at the peak of the Great Recession, a survey released Thursday found. And in a finding that could worsen fears of U.S. decline, the share of Americans struggling to put food on the table is now three times as large as the share of the Chinese population in the same position.

The United States’ Basic Index Score, a Gallup measure of access to necessities, fell to 81.4 in September–even lower than the 81.5 mark it reached in February and March, 2009. The recession officially ended in June of that year, but the halting recovery hasn’t given a sustained boost to the number of Americans able to provide for themselves. The government reported last month that a record number of Americans is living in poverty.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/more-americans-chinese-t-put-food-table-132752601.html

Carson, you are one of those brainless mendicants who believe that we in Barbados must sit down and wait on America, before we do anything about our own position. So you are trying to change the subject. We are not really interested in your USA Basic Index Score.

We were talking about local leadership! Millertheanunnaki resorted to hitting and running by telling a few nasty lies, because he has fooled himself that he has become believable on this blog! So he HIT with some lies, change the subject to technology, and ran off!

But CHARLIE, what a ghastly, repulsively incongruous sight that must have been; to see EWB dressed in apron with BOXY out, and in nothing but a grin and a PANAMA HAT. Two ugly big-belly men about to get it on.

Uh used to hear my grandfather talk about these dirty things that used to happen BEHIND the scenes years ago. Some famous people used to get away with BARE foolishness.

Wheel and come again Millertheanunnaki.

Now to change the subject. GET THAT PAC GOING OWEN, AND KEEP IT WORKING!! Time to expose these thiefing rats from the “SQUEAKY-CLEAN CLAN.” Right CCC?

@Enuff

Reference to Chimera was not aimed at you, it was in the next open section.

While i understood that you were quoting about recession I intended to emphasise that recovery has never really taken root, the talk is all part of the “BIG CON”.

NLMaddocks

“Now to change the subject. GET THAT PAC GOING OWEN, AND KEEP IT WORKING!! Time to expose these thiefing rats from the “SQUEAKY-CLEAN CLAN.” Right CCC?”

This just the weekend’s entertainment right?

To MillerA:
You can continue your thing against Owen may be hoping I would defend. I do not intend to defend Owen Seymour Arthur from you; I am sure he can do that for himself. What I am against is the kind of people like yourself to foist on the people of Barbados because you and them think alike or have similar sexual orientation. Now two people in Barbados have stood up publicly and postulated their intent to establish as firmly as possible morally, spiritually and physically the alternative life style and its associated philosophy which are so readily acceptable in California and New York. The two people are Peter the spy man Wickham and Mia the abuser of women Mottley. In California there are moves to teach the history of lesbianism; to teach young children from kinder garden what it means to be GAY; to so contort the law like in England that even if you have a hotel or guest house and two persons who are publicly indicating what they intend to do or not to do within the confines of that philosophy can not be refused entry to your establishment; you are can not even plan any thing thing in England which seeks to restrict the involvement of persons who openly exhibit that lifestyle; several people have been fined by the courts for it. Is this where you and this bright eagle of a person Mia the abuser of women want to take this country. Already we have the Anglican Church readily conveying the holy anointing on gay priests. It is so bad in that church that no one knows who is straight anymore. This why up front and center at the Cathedral is a gay man parading at each service up and down.

What I am talking about is not what we in Barbados have been accustomed to where persons who exhibit this lifestyle have been tolerated and accepted within the bounds of morality. This new move by Mia seeks to have Barbados labelled permanently this time as a gay and lesbian stronghold in the caribbean. I shall always be against that and people like that who uphold this foolishness for the sake of gain or to be part of an elite group. I have known decent and respectable persons who are of the alternative lifestyle group, but their overall aim is not to convert Barbados into anything. My objection is not about who or who is not a buller or wicker. This my last piece to you on this matter. Let us continue to find other things to discuss.

CANT people like Millerillumanati see that Owen Seymour Arthur is the best person man or woman to run this country as Prime Minister ???
WHATS the sense of bringing some younger person to do the job of Prime Minister who does not have ideas , charisma, cussability (because some o wunna got to get cussed to work) ????
CANT you see that Mascoll would be Owen’s right -hand man while Owen acts as Elder Statesman thus bringing stability at the top ???
WHATS wrong with this plan ?????

@ Just Asking:
Getting OSA to come up with different ideas, a fresh way of thinking and functioning is like expecting a kettle to blow steam when there is no water in the kettle.

I agree with you that Clydie is a good man, technically sound with his heart in the right place. But he can only be effective if he is given the role of Minister of Finance & Economic Affairs; a role than can only be performed by an elected member of Parliament.
I would take my hat off to OSA if he can pull that one off and get Clydie elected to the Lower House.

We are entitled to freedom of expression.

Recently an Antiguan official was heard to say that if we accept homosexuality then it means we turn our back on Christianity because it violates the teaching of the good book.

Perhaps we need to come to a position in Barbados given that our governance and thinking is majority predicated/influenced on a Christian bent.

@ lemuel:
“But there is a difference between the person who is gay and the philosophy which is gay. I am against the philosophy which is gay.”

There is a saying that “travel broadens a person’s mind”.
I suppose you were doing a Rip Van Winkle, then! If you were that clever and observant you would have realized that homosexuality is a worldwide human phenomenon. It is estimated by professionals who study this type of human behaviour that approx. 8% to 10% of human populations are sexually different (you would prefer the adjective abnormal, I suppose). And this statistic cuts across race, gender, creeds, cultures, and geography; some of it in the open , like western societies, some of it hidden and underground like some African and religiously intolerant communities.

I am now in your class and willing to learn:
I definitely know that you know people who are gay. But what is a “gay” philosophy?
It’s like saying I hate the sin but love the sinner.
Who created these so-called gay people? Or were they taught this “behaviour” in schools (including Sunday school) manses, monasteries and nunneries. But then again you can always rely on the men of the cloth to exorcise these demon-possessed deviants or ask your OT god to send a plague (like Aids – as people like you would argue) or destroy them with fire and brimstone as in the “Sodom & Gomorrah story.
I thought all along that the turning of the other cheek was a basic principle of Christian beliefs and practices as enunciated by your teacher Jesus. You should follow the teachings or your insurance policy you are relying on to get you into heaven could lapse.

@ Alien:
You seem to be in the know about these things!
What’s the difference between a man having anal sex with woman and that with another man? All is sexual deviance since the anus was not designed for that two-way traffic. In addition, it is hygienically dangerous, liable to weaken the sphincter muscle with long-term consequences for a person’s health and ability to retain and expel the body’s waste matter at appropriate times.

From a medical and hygienic point o view anal sex is dangerous, period!
