Haye-Webster resigning?

[Mosiah]

I have no problem with them changing the law to get rid of citizens of other countries, pledge or no pledge! I was simply asking what the law says.

[Gamma]

well i don't know...seaga renounced his and that a set a precedent. it must be looked at on 2 different footings (is that feeting?)

1. if you are born there you are a citizen and need to renounce;
2. if you acquire citizenship through any other means, depends on the means and the age, then the positive act of pledging allegiance is required.

[Lazie]

What part of the law is ridiculous?

Yuh really need fi ask that?

[Mosiah]

Why did I bother?

[Lazie]

Why did I bother?

... but the way yuh climbing up the wall defending the law, we were of the impression you knew what the law said.

" No person shall be qualified to be appointed as a Senator or elected as a member of the House of Representatives who-

1. is, by virtue of his own act, under any acknowledgment of allegiance, obedience or adherence to a foreign Power or State"

Its 2008 ... we're now living in a Global Village and afterall, Jamaica need all the help it can get.

I wonder if Dudley Thompson renounced his Panama citizenship before serving in the cabinet?

[Gamma]

and if he didn't?

Yuh nuh? I guess because its not US citizenship, it not suh bad. Some jokers more concerned about become the 51st state.

Talk bout having priorities all wrong.

[Mosiah]

Oh, what made you feel like supplying a decent answer for once?!

I agree. Get rid of that! If you are a citizen of a farin land, no matter how you got it, you need to renounce it.

Don't buy that we need all the help we can get crap. No farin citizens in parliament! Yes, you can help out all you want, but not as an MP! And if yuh gay pon top a it, yuh wussa can't be in Bruce's cabinet! Adviser? Yes. But yuh can't sit in Gordon House! heh heh!

[Mosiah]

How far back should we go? Can we stick to the now? All sorts of wrongs happened in the past. Should we use them as precedents to continue the screwups?

Yuh need fi start looking at the pros and cons, but then again, when Jamaicans get emotional on an issue, it nuh mek nuh sense. Is there any doubt why we are where we are today?

[Muadib]

LOL !

Whoeee !

Pandora box open and dem cyaan handle it.

[Mosiah]

Risk? Yes! What?
