The "no Sayers" need to **read** the Constitution carefully. They also need to **read** the cases, what the judges actually said, and how they ruled.
Yup, you will need to **read, read, read**......and comprehend what is there. It is not easy so expect it to take 5 to 10 minutes per page. You will need to set aside hours.
Stop making all your silly comments and become truly educated on the subject.
Have you **read** what Fred Smith said in the paper couple of weeks ago anout same sex marriage?
Maybe Mr. McWeeney has a valid point. But for you to know you will need to **read**.

They are scared of the FNM Council which is full of old has beens. This old outdated Council lost touch with the electorate years ago and are dumb enough to re-elect Minnis again.
Most of them are in their 50's to 70's. You are hard pressed to find many under 40 and they would be lucky if they have more than 5 members of Council under 30.
Truthfully, who do you think owns most of the houses in Westridge, Cable Beach, Eastern Road, Sandyport? Yup, they are thousands of Bahamians.
But don't worry the "No" vote will help them move to more advanced countries with thousands of other educated Bahamians.
The foreigners, that many of the bloggers so dislike, are moving out because there are other more attractive countries to go to for them.
Also without our educated, Cuba, which is opening up, will be more attractive than the less educated Bahamian population.
And when we get down graded, when, not if, we do we will not be able to borrow money from the countries with money because we keep our women as second class citizens without equal rights.....as we say we are sovereign, so are they...no money for us.
All I see are large number of scared Bahamian men. The people they are worried about getting citizenship are already here and they will not be going anywhere whether you vote yes or no.
If you vote yes many more will pay taxes. If you vote "no" YOU will pay extra to keep them, your choice.
You are making so that the rich are investing in places like the Turks & Cacaos and Cayman.
Yes those people, that you so despise, those horrible foreigners who are creating thousands of jobs for Turks islanders and causing educated Caymanians to return home, will stay away because of you.
Your children will be out of work because of your narrow bigoted attitude.
But then again we will all have to settle for your poor work ethic and attitude as you drag the country backwards.
Mr. Cooper, don't worry about nationality, that's irrelevant.
Whoever owns, Bahamian or foreign,If they stop you from exercising your legal rights then you can sue them for damages for your loss of business.
If you go at three quarter tide when the tide is dropping, they can't stop you from setting up a fire and all, as long as you are below high watermark. In some places the there is a lot of beach between high watermark and low watermark.
Make sure you get this clown on video, it should look good in court.
If they can own an island, they can pay all the legal costs and you for your loss of business.

Hi Tal, I agree. Indeed, if the Defence Force, Immigration and Social Services had done, or permitted, to do their jobs we would not be in this mess.
With computerization and all the additional staff the Fred Mitchel says have been hired, you would have thought that we would be further along.
Residents and citizens pay taxes and are more likely to feel a part of the Bahamian Community than apart from the Bahamian Community.
Those who feel apart from are more likely to send their money abroad and not to invest here.
It is not rocket science. Then we would have a much better picture of who should be here and who should not.

Minnis lost my support months ago. His talks of Trump.
Maybe he plans to build a wall around each island in The Bahamas and charge Haiti for it.
