Kevin, while some persons may not agree with your comparisons to Jim Crow, hopefully we can all agree that this "vaccination day" is not just "incentive" but in actuality a form of discrimination. Those who are already vaccinated can continue to campion the vaccine as much as they want. That's fine with me. However, let's stop the coercive and bully tactics towards the unvaccinated to take vaccinations that have the risk (albeit a low one) of death and other serious health issues. Let's stop this public shaming, and political pressure nonsense, and go back to the drawing board and come up with better solutions.

Unfortunately, the politicians are too smart for this. Although they are Coercing (bullying) persons to take the vaccine by making their lives harder, at the end of the day, they can always claim that they didn't "force" anyone.

Such a sad story. Persons are convinced that despite the risk of death, that these Covid vaccinations are still our best option. I understand that Covid can kill us also, but there has to be a better way..... this is not the answer.

The most sensible comment on this forum yet. To say that "Nobody is dying from the vaccine" is as "ignorant" and "stupid" as some of the common conspiracy theories surrounding the vaccines. Some persons don't buy into the propaganda, but are hesitant because they don't want to become a statistic, even if it is extremely rare to die from the vaccine. The fact that death is even a possibility should stop wise governmental leaders from being so tyrannical when it comes to the issuing of this vaccine and how they treat the unvaccinated.

ad hominem fail, you assume she was lying, when she could have simply been in error. The matter at hand is whether some/all of the changes could have been made without constitutional changes.

1. the more correct analogy would be using the gas that you already have instead of using this "new" gas since we don't trust it because it's foul smelling.

2. Yes it is a vote of conscience, as people believe different things, and it is your opinion that all people should have "equal rights". Unless you have proof for moral absolutes, then everyone creates their own morality. Of course those with power, will push their view of morality on you (cough cough, the government and international organizations).

3. I think the Bahamian people chose not to subject themselves to any such abuse in this matter by voting NO and if the court system is biased and/or doesn't work properly, how would it help propel the wishes and expectations of the Bahamian people?

Agreed with you ThisisOurs, the minority who were pushing the vote yes insulted the intelligence of the majority who voted no and they expected different results? Perhaps the vote yes was not as "intelligent" or "informed" as they thought...

With all the "vote yes" agenda being pushed down our throats, it's refreshing to hear some arguments from others with different points of view. At the end of the day everybody will vote according to conscience and their own logic perhaps. For me I believe that it's horrendous to say that someone else's view is an "unenlightened" view. We all merely have different views. Everybody will vote according to their beliefs, whether they are affiliated with a religious group or not, as we all have convictions about morality and right and wrong.

Comrade, you make the common mistake of lumping all together in the same category. Many churches to good in this community by assisting those who are hungry, homeless, and have been damaged by addictions such as drugs and gambling. If you are not aware of this, then you are the one who is showing ignorance and should do better research into what is actually happening in all of the churches, and not just the ones that you may hear about in the news or on the street.

The author of this article fails to realize what myself an many others have been saying. There is more than one way to accomplish the goal of giving women equal rights to males in this country. Most Bahamians will vote yes on the first 3 bills which will fix the major identified areas of inequality. However, many Bahamians, perhaps the majority, do not believe that enacting the fourth amendment in the constitution is the best way to go. Just how we have a marriage act, why not create an equality act? and simply continue to build on it. Don't put something, that can possibly be reinterpreted later since language is subject to change and reinterpretation, into our precious constitution that will be impossible to change in the future moving forward.
