    You think!!!!

    Show me your company and I’ll tell you who you are…

    It’s like the guys/ gal being charged for fraud. ( against the goverment ). 150K is nothing to sneeze at and if they are guilty, they should be dealt with accordingly, however, it pales in comparison to what we all believe has been going on for the past few years…

    Now now people, “all fall short of the glory of God.” Pray for him people. He’s a good Christian boy and made an honest mistake. It’s the ones that haven’t been caught that you need to watch out for!

    For a country of 60 thousand people you certainly have your share of thieves and murderers and a whole lot of people who see and hear nothing.

  6. Truth is killin' me says:

    @ Fergie Your’e right…it’s definitely Hell living here. How are you supposed to pay taxes and keep a roof over your head when all the Government wants to do is steal everything from the working man to pay their ego. And after that you might get shot by a drug dealer who decides to pay a debt while you are waiting for the bus!

    Here is an excerpt from and article back in 2007 about Andre Curtis’s opposition to Rosie O’Donnell’s cruise:

    “One source told the Gazette R Family Vacations and members of the church lobby met in Bermuda earlier this month to discuss their differences. However that information could not be confirmed last night because neither an AME Church spokesperson or Andre Curtis of United By Faith was available for comment.

    Mr. Curtis had previously said: “We may just choose to pick them (the cruise passengers) up by bus and bus them to our church, to different denominations, and have the pastors pray for them.”

    How interesting. It just goes to show how hypocritical Christians are. He sat there and judged a boat load of people coming to Bermuda for a good time, and at that very moment was a thief, a liar, and a plain disgusting individual. He was the one who needed to be prayed for in you believe in that.
