If you dont go to the beach, how do you deduce that people actually do that?

sol kerzner doesnt respect Bahamian people or our money in our own fcking country...after all we have done for me...without us...atlantis woulda been a pipe dream...its high time we teach this south afrikan a mofo lesson like no other...

thats right, shut his white castle down!! :hammer::hammer:

well, you won't have to wait long now ... atlantis dubai is expected to open within the next few years. friends of mine who work for atlantis paradise island says that all bets are off as to whether kerzner international stays in the bahamas.

well i am not too shocked or surprised.

i find it funny how they found a loop hole in the Bahamains have rights to their beach laws" they cant stop you from being on the beach but they can stop you from crossing their private access to get on the beach

so technically now all bahamians have to do is get on boats and land on the beach. They cant do anything to stop you. just to piss them off bahamians should organize a massive demonstration where they do this.

the sad thing is i am sure government officials help kerzner come up with this idea.

one thing for sure as licoln said this mess dont fly in america. dare tell americans they cant gamble in their casino's or use their beaches on holidays.

my only advise is this to those peacefull nassuvians on holidays either take the fast ferry to harbour island or find you a beach out west to enjoy

and u does try to play poor

my only advise is this to those peacefull nassuvians on holidays either take the fast ferry to harbour island or find you a beach out west to enjoy

even the beaches we do have are mostly ruined from oil and diesel or not even worth mentioning .. we need cheap ferry rides to places like Rose Island, for families that is, that want peace and security.

and u does try to play poor

think SpamStopper is own the place aye??
And the beach is not even worth calling a beach. Full of bottles and oil and diesel and other garbage people leave behind or throw in the water from they boats.

By that analogy you mussee rich cause you could afford to catch one plane and travel to the US and then also goto school there.

This is not about shortage. This is about civil rights!
There was not a restaurant shortage but that didn't stop Martin Luther King and other activists from fighting to ensure that we could eat in any restaurant we chose to! there was not a bathroom shortage but they faught to get rid of white and coloured bathrooms there was not a school shortage per se but they faught to attend the school of their choosing.
I think you get the point!

it also sets a dangerous precident. any incident on the sandy port beach and they will make the same move. the only beaches in nassau that bahamas probably cant be blocked from acess would be montague, saunders, goodmans, and yamacraw. so that narrows the 13 to about 4

Atlantis Dubai has already had a "soft" opening. That probably the reason Mr Sol is not raising to much of a ruckus these days. He is distracted.

He is probably just biding his time until the PALM and THE WORLD are completly done and then will quitely downsizes his Bahamian "millstone".

The BHCAAWU better start saying up dey dues money ta buy Atlantis if Mr Sol decides to sell becasue no private buyer will gee yinna da slackeness and put up wit da non-scents yinna used to!

People like Kerzner think years ahead. Most Bahamians hardly thing past Friday’s pay cheque! No doubt he has seen the “hand writing on the wall” and is getting ready to make a move to Dubai where he will make millions more than he makes here. Folks like him always land on their feet. In the mean while 5 to 6,000 Bahamians will be without a job.

People get mad at Mr Sol but the man looked ahead. While we were thinking "job" he was thinking "global tourism domination".

Yep. We need to "catch a vision."

Vision plus action will keep you off Bahamasair and out of Walmart evey 3 weeks.

i dont wanna be an alarmist or a pessimist and i am not saying this is going happen but sometimes when i see the atlantis is person or in a picture in all its granduer sometimes i think will i ever live to see this hotel become and abandond, detorating building or live to see it imploded.

i mean it has happened before. Do bahamians remeber when the hotel that is the Hilton now was just this huge detorating buiding.

If you drive to the South Ocean property is just this huge vacant detorating building and looking at it you could tell at one point in its life it was a grand buiding with lots of guest and employees.

that hotel in freeport (i cant remeber the name, owned by driftwood) thats now closed and vacant

any body remeber that hotel that was by montegue near where the financials centers now stand. they imploded it and now bahamians dont even remeber it ever existed.

i am not saying that his will ever happen its just something to think about

CG,

It is this myopia that we as Bahamians need be most concerned about. I wonder whether people have thought about the outrageous demands that unions are making in these turbulent economic times or about those of us who want to justify the abuse of freedoms to overlook the problems of social decay in our country. Do you think there will be much ground for the labour unions to stand on if our tourist-based economy is shot to hell, or if the abuse of our freedoms results in reckless behaviour that produces a lawless state pushed to the point of anarchy? We are as vocal as we are because we enjoy an unrivaled per capita standard of living in this region. If this were to be destroyed, then you can rest assured that we would not be talking about access to beaches, we'd be talking about how da gubment make it more difficult for us to go to Miami to shop fe we tings. Quite ironic, but true. Evidence of this is that every time the U.S. wants to twist our government's arm, they leak a story to the press that the pre-clearance priveleges may be threatened for some reason or another. At the end of the day, we as a society are so interested in maintaining the financial quality of life that it has emboldened us to the point that we forget the tenuous nature of the tourism business. Beaches are for all Bahamians and must not be denied to Bahamians, however, if we do not care about the result of anti-social behaviour on the tourism industry and our standard of living, then by all means we shouldn't give a shet how styupid and jungalist people carry on. IF we do intend to maintain the quality of life for future generations of Bahamians, then we have to reverse the trend of anti-social behaviour.

I EEN KNOW WHA YINNA BEEN TOLT. . .BUT I WALKED RIGHT ON DA BEACH AND EEN NOBODY STOPPED MA!!! DEM SECURITY BOUYS BEEN STANDING ROUND BY DA SPANISH HOTEL BUT DEM EEN STOPPED ME!!!!:confused::confused::confused:

There are laws that govern the unions...
If the Unions perform an illegal strike, businesses can seek demages in court...
there only needs to be one action done, and these unions will think twice.
