You are kind of coming off like a ...... Lawyer. No one is forcing, you either pay up or work. I also believe that our prisoners should contribute towards their keep, if we're shoving off funds to have them have the basic necessities, they should work for it. -Less money spent, should be used on their rehab services -The rest of the community would see them and probably help shame them better to deter them from future illegal acts -and finally they won't come out fat out of prison (get your Mind out of the sensitive gutter, lack of exercise is a disadvantage to the mind, development and emotional points) agree ( 1 ) disagree ( 0 ) Bill: Lawyers must work free or pay Posted by MariposaDelCielo on 5/26/2012 10:06:27 AM > Click here to view the story related to this comment The lawyers would still get paid, what's the big deal? This is a good bill to consider. -Let's just hope that the audit trail doesn't waiver, hint hint -That people understand the power of referral (bad job = bad rep) -This would be great for your CV, some lawyers probably haven't even done probono before and my understanding is that this is a challenge and a different beast altogether -Some people don't even know that there are probono services available to them agree ( 2 ) disagree ( 0 ) Bill: Lawyers must work free or pay Posted by MariposaDelCielo on 5/26/2012 9:54:08 AM > Click here to view the story related to this comment Although I agree that some form of charity should be mandatory for all high yield companies. I would prefer to see high ranking government officials take that pay decrease that they so called promised and then back handed us with by not going though with it. I know people need to make their money, but if it's truly for the interest of the country why do we see such lack of house keeping? The true charity should start there. How about surprising me (and that's very hard to do by the way), individually donate. That would be a shocker. If you are too busy, send it by courier. ;-) agree ( 2 ) disagree ( 0 ) Online poll: Large majority support Dart Posted by Che on 5/25/2012 2:37:47 PM > Click here to view the story related to this comment CayCompass, can we have a poll asking the public whether or not they want to pay for 3 more MLA's? We continue to do allow politicians to do things that cost additional money and then we complain afterwards that they have to raise revenue through business fees import duty etc. If we are going to have any meaningful impact, we have to get ahead of the curve ball (ie income tax and property tax next?), otherwise just sit back and complain bitterly forever and ever, while government gets so expensive that we become another place looking to the world for a handout. agree ( 3 ) disagree ( 2 ) Minister in DUI wreck Posted by The Press on 5/25/2012 11:10:57 AM > Click here to view the story related to this comment Hi folks, again, we have received many comments on this story which we cannot post because the matter is now before the court. agree ( 14 ) disagree ( 43 ) Near normal hurricane season predicted Posted by Bethinking on 5/25/2012 10:11:58 AM > Click here to view the story related to this comment I wonder if the Brac will have any correlation with the recent run-on with the Hurricane Crabs and a hurricane this year? Here at the SMB beach house it has been spotty at best. However, I am seeing at 3x the number of hermit crabs right now compared to last year. agree ( 3 ) disagree ( 2 ) Editorial for 25 May: If it looks, walks like a duck ... Posted by The Press on 5/25/2012 10:05:06 AM > Click here to view the story related to this comment Actually, we have spoken to the Premier regarding this subject. http://www.compasscayman.com/caycompass/2011/05/11/Premier-backs-Brac-paving/ agree ( 1 ) disagree ( 1 ) Legality of Brac paving questioned Posted by Bethinking on 5/25/2012 10:04:05 AM > Click here to view the story related to this comment Like I said in a previous article, it is much easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission. But I really get it now, the law does not explicitly say you can't do it. So just do it. Personally I think the conflict of interest story is the bigger issue. Kind of like the fox guarding the hen house. Also is there double-dipping in that equation? I wonder, as I always say, follow the money. agree ( 21 ) disagree ( 0 ) Editorial for 25 May: If it looks, walks like a duck ...

When someone refuses to answer or return your calls the next logical step is to call their boss. Agreed CB, so we did and the boss does the same. Next stop, the Premier. Guess what.....? No reply from him either. And they talk about transparency. Yeh, right. agree ( 6 ) disagree ( 1 ) Election system fix a start Posted by Che on 5/25/2012 9:45:04 AM > Click here to view the story related to this comment Splitting our islands into 18 small separate voting areas, could help ensure even more insular small minded thinking than we already have at present. We need people who can think nationally and what is in the best interest of all the people of these beloved Islands. agree ( 3 ) disagree ( 4 ) Showing comments 1 to 10 of 10983 next >>
