***“There should be nothing, nothing, nothing that a foreigner can do in this country that a Bahamian cannot do. A Bahamian should be able to do things in this country foreigners cannot do, but we got it the other way around.”***

I totally agree with the above quote by Mr. McCartney as I also feel that all Bahamians should have the same rights as all foreigners presently have in every industry in the Bahamas.

What's more amazing is that there are actually persons who claim to be Bahamian who promote a message that Bahamians are inferior to foreigners with an ideology that Bahamians should continue to accept being treated as second class citizens while foreigners are treated as royalty.

.@thisisours cont'd

**Now when it comes to a business that affords their customers the ability to engage in debits/credits, which business in the Bahamas is not permitted from allowing their customers to do so?
The same way you can go into a bank to make a deposit/withdrawal/loan is the same way you can go into an asue and pay interest to the asue holder for your loan and is also the same way any business with a legal business license can have an agreement between the creditor/debtor to freely decide freely what credit/debit transactions should take place to determine who keeps the money and who receives the money?

My goodness, I frequent many business establishments on 3 different islands in the Bahamas regularly where their license is to provide building supplies, grocery, autoparts etc where I have an account for debits/credits!

I truly encourage you to study commerce, accounting and economics at least at the high school level to obtain a basic understanding of how business works?

There is even something called E-Commerce, study that too!

Wow!**

**"""Wrong. Many persons asked about the wording BEFORE the referendum but Slick Perry shrugged his shoulders and said he did not understand what the fuss was about, the questions were plain and simple when they were in fact deliberately worded to deceive.
In any event there is no question that illegal gambling or no, Perry Christe, Brave Davis, Commisioner Greenslade and Bernard Nottage are now fully aware that the webshops are operating illegally as banks, offering credit to customers. This is by no stretch of the imagination covered anywhere in their business licence, so like the barman on the corner or the night club in violation of the business licence act they should be shut down immediately. He needs no committee to give him a spine to do this, the law is clear."""**

**@thisisours**

Oh really?

Well firstly, I did state that the sentiments are that of another member who is 100% factually correct, the web shops are not being regulated and the web shops are not being taxed in any way different from any other business that pays for a business license and why are the web shops **"NOT"** being **Regulated** or **Taxed**? The people voted **“NO”** and the government is not **“Regulating”** or **“Taxing”** the webshops.

Can you state otherwise because I am not aware of anything different but again, let’s take a look at your comments objectively:

**““the questions were plain and simple when they were in fact deliberately worded to deceive.””**

Thisisours, I’m not sure if you had an opportunity to read the questions but because I believe you didn’t, see below:

Question 1 on the non-Binding Opinion Poll:

**”Do you support the regulation and taxation of Web Shop gaming?“**

What is deceitful about the question?

Do you want the Web Shops Regulated and Taxed?

Yes or No?
I mean I reworded the question but hey, it’s a very simple question!

**"the government is going by the results of the referendum they are not regulating or taxing the web cafe and there is no national lottery the problem is it looks like no one who voted understood the questions is this a result of the "D" average"**

Hopefully the above quote by another member of this forum answers any questions because it truly sums it up!
