					<description><![CDATA[I`ve just read the above comments, and similar ones relating to comments on The Times Online. And these are people who are capable of using a computer so, presumably, are educated.
It seems a number of Maltese are inane, incredible, hilarious, dumb etc etc.
Do any of you realise that these same people vote in our Elections and are presumed capable of choosing our future ?]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Funnily enough a quick look at some of the comments to the article report on the LHC by the British newspaper The Times are rather similar to the comments on the Maltese newspaper ( http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/science/article4722261.ece ) The only difference is that the majority of the British seem to be in favour of the scientific experiment.

I guess it&#039;s not just the Maltese who are complete dumb shits.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oh man I couldn&#039;t continue reading the comments about the LHC. The stupidity of the people who left comments on timesofmalta.com is just too much to handle. What the hell is this country?

(Daphne - Apparently, the BBC website is just as vulnerable to inane comments, and it&#039;s even worse, because they&#039;re written in text-message language.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Just a minute - Dan Browne’s books might not be High Litritcher [sic] but there are some of us who enjoy switching off our brains…&quot;

I have to agree with this. When reading his books it&#039;s obvious of the tremendous lack of quality, bad writing, poor characters etc and yet I have read all of them and actually enjoyed it.

I find them to be intellectually dishonest and yet entertaining. Puzzling books actually.

(Daphne - A perfect description of the Labour Party and its leader.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[edgar:
&quot;Frankly, I do not see the point on such an unbelievably expensive experiment - just to disprove the existence of God!&quot;
So what you are saying is that you have no idea what the experiment is all about and you still stick your head out making a fool out of yourself.

Then you continue with your evidence of ignorance:
&quot;Even if the Big Bang theory (and it is still a theory!)...&quot;
Yeah, just like the theory of gravity, or theory of evolution, or theory of relativity are theories. Is that supposed to discredit them somehow? Do you even have a clue what a scientific theory is? This is what creationist ignoramuses sprout all over their pseudo scientific literature and then believe they actually have a strong case.

&quot;Science will never accept God and unfortunately in many ‘progressive’ countries, school children are being spoon-fed such illusive theories as facts.&quot;
Of course there are scientists who don&#039;t accept god (Richard Dawkins is probably the strongest name coming to mind), just as there are scientists who are devout believers (Ken Miller, Francis Collins etc). The Big Bang theory is not taught as a &quot;fact&quot;, it&#039;s taught as the best and most fact based theory we have explaining the origins of the universe. Noone knows for certain that it is the correct theory, in fact you don&#039;t have to investigate a great deal to realise that very few scientists feel comfortable dealing with facts and certainty, and that for good reasons.

Take 10 minutes to look up the amazing discoveries being given to us by Cern in the past and then come back complaining of the expense. Its costs are in the same range as the Olympic Games and while I don&#039;t see the Olympic Games as a waste of money, I think what these scientists are achieving is vastly more important.

(Daphne - Thanks. He really needed telling. These are the &#039;all things come from God&#039; people who don&#039;t even realise that they would be living in caves and dying at 30 without the work of the scientists they despise. In fact, Maltese people were living in caves and dying at 30 just a couple of centuries ago.)]]></description>

(Daphne - He means a milch cow. This was a cow kept expressly for milking (milch is Old English), but in contemporary usage, it just means a source of easy income.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Frankly, I do not see the point on such an unbelievably expensive experiment - just to disprove the existence of God! Even if the Big Bang theory (and it is still a theory!) is proved right, can these expensive scientists explain who created that sub-particle, which we are led to believe eventually created living organisms. Science will never accept God and unfortunately in many &#039;progressive&#039; countries, school children are being spoon-fed such illusive theories as facts.

(Daphne - Is there a virtual wall I can knock my head against? This is &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; being done to &#039;disprove&#039; the existence of God. I was unaware that anyone had previously proved God&#039;s existence, anyway.)]]></description>
