The fnms will feel the might of the PLP come election day.

:sparky: ...it CHICKENKOI! :mad:


Don't worry. I'll deal with him. Just ignore him.

I might be a bit late, but I have to respond to this.
Firstly, the fact that anyone can state that supporters of the PLP are not educated based on what they see on television says a lot about that person's level of education and further their intellect (or lack thereof).
I am also extremely ashamed at how some us can so easily be so elitist and snobbish. We seem to forget that many of our own grandparents and parents were not formally educated.
Indeed, if it were not for the PLP, whose members we so readily ridicule and call ignorant, many of us might not have not have been able to step inside any tertiary level institution. The fact is boys and girls that the PLP created the Black professional class in the Bahamas. Before 1967, Black Bahamian Lawyers were a rarity, so please show a little respect.
It is by no means acceptable (nor smart) to call or imply that any group is ignorant for what they believe, I know many of us do this in jest but even then it subconsciously plants a seed that is completely insensitive and more notably inaccurate.
In my view the greatest failure of the PLP (1967-1992) was that when it created the Black middle class, public high school education and the College of the Bahamas, it didn't make mandatory studies in Contemporary Bahamain History or Civics. The unfortunate result of this failure are completely idotic remarks and wholly inaccurate assessments that are revealed when their equally idiotic creators speak and in this instance type.
The early PLP Cabinet featured men like Carlton Francis (brilliant mathematician), Orville Turnquest, Paul Adderley (Cambridge educated) and others, all of whom were extremely intelligent.
It is true that the PLP has traditionally fought for the advancement of the so called grass roots, but please understand that it was through the fight for such advancement that those who now call themselves educated were actually educated. The system in place would have effectively short-circuited that dream for the vast majority of us who hold cards in this group, so again, show respect and DON'T call PLP supporters uneducated because I am sure that I can name at least twenty of them that are more "educated" than you!

Seems that you are accusing the wrong guy. I was not accusing the PLP supporters of being ignorant, etc, but was just making a joke of someone ELSE who had done so. Maybe your remarks should be directed at them.

I think I am entitled to a light moment now and then, am I not!?

Many of my brothers and sisters attended the old govt high school during the time when the late sir Lynden Pindling, Arthur Hanna, etc, attended and some of them are highly educated. I am the least of the pack in this regard.

My family, immedaite and not so immediate, are highly non-political. I myself am even more so! Most of my training, schooling, etc, were gotten long before the PLP came to power, so I have absolutely NO loyalty to ANY political party and perhaps never will. I refuse to allow myself to be blinded by party loyalty like many persons I know. The late sir Winston Churchill spoke about the mess party loyalty can produce!

I can therefore look at things very objectively and make an informed judgement, unencumbered by political considerations.

We all are entitled to our own opinions and to freedom of speech. And as long as I am doing things decently and in order, fine, nothinng else matters. I am NOT obligated to kowtow or suckup to ANYONE, and all things considered, whatever they might think of me is definitely none of my business, however "educated" they are! God Bless!

Did anyone see Austin Knowles at the PLP convention?
