PS – Jazzy actually is my name!

Boy, I’d hate to have to furnish a house. Wait, I do, good thing the Land License Act prevented me from buying locally.

Are you related to RC – everything you say sounds like an echo…

Time to get your own thoughts and learn to speak about today’s concern’s in Bermuda…. then was then and now is most definitely now. Everyone, no matter color, race, religion, upbrining, neighborhood, love, like, hate, education, creed… everyone, unless you know something that we don’t… would you like to share??
As sometimes, lose lips sink ships….

Please put it into perspective and call it what it really is- a lively discussion where not everyone agrees with you. My momma taught me well- and among her finest lessons was to treat others, ALL others, how you expect to be treated yourself, and if you don’t have anything nice to say, it’s best to keep quiet. Listen more than you talk, and don’t ask a question to which you’d resent an honest answer.

Wow indeed.

He said the 32GB Ipod was 385.

The ones you show are 8GB.

the ipod he is referring to at computer city is 499

with the amount of effort it would take to totally adjust a stores pricing, i doubt that will be what happens.

I beg to differ with you, just by the fact that you are an adult that does not give you the right to address another adult by their first name, it is only proper to do so when and if they invite you to.

And you may call me ABC.

The Senate serves as a road-block to constitutional changes, the constitution requires a 2/3 Super-Majority. Thus, in order for an amendment to pass, it needs the support of the Government and the Opposition/Appointees

Of the three appointed by the Governor, the Senate elects one to serve as the President, and another to serve as the Deputy President.

All 11 Senators are paid, but less than Members of Parliament. Despite its name as the Senate, and its description as the Upper House, it is a junior legislative forum.

–> Please tell me in your job description where it insinuates that you are an “authority figure” over Bermudians? You are there to approve or disaprove legislative modifications only on behalf of your party and Bermuda; appointed by the governor. I was unaware, likely as no other senator before you has tried to make people “respect their authority” that Bermudians should be afraid of senators. This sounds like Germany or communism? Should i be afraid of my door being broken down? Did the Senate merge with the Police or Secret Police and not tell us? I will have to reach out to some of the more reputable senators such as Mr Dunkley as see what his take is on his Job Role and your disgraceful statements. You dont see him attacking people online like this. He earns respect and when people dont agree with him he politely steps out of the debate with his respect intact – he doesnt dictate it like a communist leader or more precisely like you do…

It’s a very sad sad day indeed when a senator tells you to respect them “or else” – your insinuation by your actions towards me. I end up where I started, if you really wish to serve Bermuda, step down and do us all a favor. Let a more reputable PLP senator take your place. You do your party a disfavor Laverne. You want to know why your party struggles to attract white votes? You… Rolfee, Burch to name 3 reasons. You dont even try to attract white votes as you a) dont need them and b) dont care about them. You instead insult us and show us your clear prejudice and disdain – I speak not for the PLP as a whole, rather the three of you who trample on our rights daily. Luckily I am smart enough to recognize that you dont speak for all of the PLP nor do any of the other agents of disdain. This is why I was mature enough to walk in an try and learn what the PLP was about. Knowing their grass root principles personally, i know you arent a good fit for them. There are good people in your party, you just arent one of them. You wish to know why I refused to join your party and declined the opportunity to attach my name to it – I would sell my soul to sit by and support based on party politics alone yourself, burch or Rolfe as well as others… Luckily, I just feel sorry for you Laverne. You have a lot of hate in you for anyone with a view or appearance different than your own, wether you say it direct or otherwise. You aren’t bringing value add to the PLP or Bermuda.

-Noel

How can someone assume that one has no respect for their elders simply because they address another by first name rather than ‘Mr/Ms ‘. We are all adults, and in business/politics, we should all be treated equally…this is not a lack of respect for elders or authority. By the way Ms. Furbert, if you want to split hairs, being in government makes you a civil servant, meant to serve the people…..so who’s the more authoritative figure again?

I could go on, but I too am tired….both of physical fatigue and of being annoyed at some of the childish nitpicking I’m seeing here.

Oh…..and you may want to invest in a better spell checker for your browser. (Voila, my nitpick for the night. lol)

This is senator “Bully” as far as I am concerned. She has no class and no place in the public eye. Her, Burch and Rolfe are poison to Bermuda’s future. Because they aren’t capable of thinking of people other than themselves, they will scare off the businesses and in turn leave no future for the next generation. The PLP isn’t comprised of all bad characters, but to mention a few, these are at the top in terms of bad apples needing to be removed from the political tree. This is typical PLP behavior though, when you cant defend your actions cry foul, throw the race card in the air and then point out the flying purple elephant to the left and hope people forget you had a point. This is not healthy politics. Bermuda deserves more…

1) What have you done to earn my respect? Why do you feel you deserve it. You don’t. As a “politician” you should earn it. Did your consituency not teach you this recently…? Besides that you insult white Bermuda frequently – indirect or otherwise. When you learn how to respect white Bermudians, I will consider respecting you.

2) You are not my authority, I am sorry. What makes you feel this position of power exactly? You are a senator? I am sorry but thats not an authoritatize position. We aren’t in communist Russia Laverne and as a politician you should know that your open to criticism and if you can’t handle it you should not be in this position. Interesting to see how you view it though that you can insult a large segment of Bermuda and when we stand up for ourselves you can threaten us? I appreciate the insight as the rest of Bermuda will on how you view some of us. Intriguing you resort to threats. I must have broken some unspoken Laverne law i am unaware of…

3) My father is a man of integrity and hence i never knew but i am thankful you divuldged it publically. He would never have told me and i wouldnt even know where to begin guessing. If only all our Senators had his integrity! I could name one at least that would benefit from it… Please cite to me where i stated i knew what or where the help was previous to your divuldging this…? He could have helped you cross the street for all i know. I didn’t know and am very thankful you said what it was so i can see he is such a good person he would even help you – or your friend via you… I will never forget this of you now i know what it was. I wish i could say I was capable of helping someone who calls me the enemy daily. I am proud of his character – he is a great man. You however offer hypocracy of at best and zero worth in my humble opinion to Bermuda. You take help from others and then generalize that all white Bermudians are rotten. How shallow of you. Think should think about this next time you say it behind closed doors or otherwise…

4) Take it as you will. You rarely reply on the answers people want to hear. You chose your arguement and corner people like the bully you are evident by your actions tonight. You know what those are and I will keep that information to myself to maintain my own integrity. You ask people to say their real names and then you threaten them. You would have fit perfect into a communist government! Speak up and be persecuted… Isn’t that how it goes and what you evidently believe in?

5) Thats great that you told me what it was as per above and I again cite how proud I am of my father for helping a worthy cause for one and for two someone who criticizes based on false generalizations daily. He is a bigger man than I. I hope I can one day do the same.

6) No, your own son cites it publically on the blogs he polutes where he lives. Luckily those of us with intellect and fortitude know he isnt eligible to vote… Its the law that he isnt eligible. As for my own where abouts, I am temporarily abroad not permanently, last time I checked the Bermuda economy is falling apart and nearing insolvency.. I Wonder how that occurred…!?! Poor government maybe? It doesn’t seem like I will miss much while I am briefly away from Bermuda. I still maintain primary residency in Bermuda unlike your son did in the past election.

7) While i understand that the PLP doesnt believe in transparency, the registrar is public information – go check it out Also, I was the chairman of 3 districts and had a right to that information either way, but thank you for your valued insight. I took great pride in my time in this position in removing the many voters the PLP laced in my districts or those that didnt otherwise belong there. If your arent sure of the law, I can advise you to someone on it.

People like me.. wow, if i used that to you… i would be “a racist”… I should be better than you and assume you didnt mean white people. Notably your correct, My island is in trouble and I dont feel myself or any voter should stop until those at fault for it are removed. You my friend are part of this faulty administration that ruined the economy, and scared the businessed off and left nothing for the next generation of Bermudians. You stop at little to spread your venom, so dont be surprised theres those of us who would speak up to otherwise correct those falsities. I encourage more people to use their real names. This isnt communism, speak up and dont be afraid of bullies…

Again you cited people like me… wow… you must be upset tonight… I wonder why.

Laverne, where did i tell you I would Vote for OBA? I take note of your sarcasm on the source of the poll but laugh given your own similar comments on PLP polls run by people with questionable ties to the PLP… Are you assuming this because I am white and chastized yourself and others in the PLP? Remember I did consider joining but even had I done this, I would never sit back and watch and defend blatent questionable actions like you do. I would think outside the box, stop reading the PLP blackberry messages of what to say during meetings and have a mind of my own! I probably wouldnt have gone far then seemingly if you cant do the same and made Senator… You shouldn’t assume my vote nor should the OBA for that fact. I left the UBP as I lost faith in their ability to change, and its the same reason i can’t join the PLP. I have no faith in your ability to change right now. You are more of the same that destroyed Bermuda. The OBA would need to earn my vote if i even vote at all anyways. Besides in my district, my vote wont matter – the PLP has never won it….

Have a pleasant evening, i am sure your own polls tell you to relax during the next election… you have nothing at all to fear I am sure… Bermudians are exptremely pleased at current with the low levels of unemployment and large budget surplus that careful PLP budgetting allowed for during a global financial crisis. You should ask for a pay raise for a job well done or just tax us more maybe to subsadize that!

-Noel Ashford. A poster with a real name and not afraid to speak up for what I believe in.

That is the problem. We are not cyber bullies, we are the people that vote to elect people like you who occupy space within our parties.

Maybe you should look at/listen to what people are complaining about rather than categorizing us a bullies.

You all get questioned because of the following:
Ewart Brown was blasted for things going on within Government. (same with Paula)

President Obama because he is black. (that’s what I believe because Bush got away with so much and everything fell on Obama.)

You because you are quick to defend. That is where your title comes from “The Public Defender.”

WE NEED TO GET RID OF THIS PARTY POLITICS!!! IT SHOULD NOT MATTER ABOUT THE PLP OR THE OBA BUT WHOEVER IS BEST FOR THE (SEATS) POSITIONS OFFERED.

Someone should take a hidden camera to a few of these retail establishments that just got tax relief and document the extinct customer service.

Welcome to the Circus!

What I have learned from your posts thus far is as follow:

1. Yo have no respect for your elders.

2. You have no respect for authority.

2. Your father has shared information with you which should have been private and confidential.

3. You do not read critically, hence yourcommentregarding
me asking “a white Bermudian to help me”.

3. Your father has misinformed you, it was not about “helping me”, ut was about helping another Bermudian family.

4. I made no mention of my son(s) where they live, etc. But I do understand, that like my sons, you are not residing in Bermuda presently.

5. You are aware of the names on the list of voters.

The only thing I get from your posts, is that people like you will stop at nothing.

I could go further, but I’m tired right now.

Enjoy your evening, wherever you are residing at present.

By the way, it’s obvious that people like you are really getting nervous about the upcoming election. Have no fear, Mind Maps has predicted that your party will win under the leadership of Craig Cannonier.

Very short sighted decision….

I would also note that as your son doesn’t reside in Bermuda, I would expect the registrar to remove his name a second time. I wouldnt waste time re-registering him…

-Noel Ashford

So you do remember the fact that a nameless foundation helped your cause? Impressive – I wonder where that charities cash came from? As for my father, I won’t comment on his behalf as I dont have that right to do so. I will relay your kind sentiments however and how much you appreciated the help. What i find sad is your generalized comments about white Bermuda… You forget clearly when white Bermuda helps you… Are you jaded or just a paid spokesperson for the old/staunch PLP? It makes me wonder to be honest as your comments lack intellectual depth.

You may wish to try your usual twist on words but you cant fool anyone, especially not me and i grow tired of watching you comment so negatively about white Bermudians – you have been an agent of division far too long and its time for you and your fellow minded comrades to be retired / dishonorably discharged – thankfully your constituency did that to you this week, it encourages me to see that. Maybe the PLP does learn from their mistakes! I felt the need to set the record correct as you aren’t sincere enough of a person to do so seemingly.

Take note how you just commented that because im white (while you didnt directly use the words but implied this) that I am more likely to vote for the UBP? What short of prejudice would make you say this… ? So, when they win, you trying to tell me that not one black person will assist in this win? Statistics dictate differently. Remember that when you cry foul at the nect election.

I would like to note that your prejudice blinds you to much. I interviewed with the PLP to consider a switch myself after I left the PLP.Feel free to confirm this with Jamahl Simons and Dr Brown for two, before you say such unfounded and frankly stupid comments. I unlike you have an open mind in terms of my political beliefs. You may be interested to know that the above list of people you cited, yourself included are the reason I would never attach my name to the party. Until they clean house, I would never consider it. It came at a time of Dr Brown’s questionable behavior becoming public and them allowing your venom to be even more in the public eye.

I look forward to the PLP learning the same lesson the now defunct UBP had to. Your day is coming Laverne. Notably, last time I checked, adults typically refer to one another by first names. Since when did you have such elevated manners anyways?… Intriguing.
