[Daphne – Yes, he needs psychiatric treatment because he abuses old women. You have led a sheltered life.]

Read up a book on psychiatry for some information about the subject.

[Daphne – I don’t need to. Thank you.]

…and the fact that I overlooked the ‘not’ in the last sentence of the first paragraph can be interpreted as a Freudian Slip

We KNOW that the Maltese can be criminals too but that in no way justifies crimes committed by illegal immigrants! And a rape is a rape. Top, bottom, brawl, by a Maltese rapist or not makes absolutely no difference at all. A man or a woman assaulted sexually without the person’s consent, conscious or not, drunk or not, scantily dressed or not should make no difference at all. We, humans, are not moral and political animals and we should know better.

And besides, it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that you aspire towards a multicultural Malta. You WILL find a Maltese criminal for every African criminal, and you WILL find perfectly logical arguments when people reply with arguments such as ‘Hawn aktar Maltin milli Afrikani’ yet it does not exactly convince that Multiculturalism is ideal.

[Daphne – Think clearly, please. Nowhere have I suggested that a crime by a Maltese justifies a crime by a Somali. I am merely highlighting the ridiculous hypocrisy of those who express shock and horror about the occasional crime committed by an immigrant from the African sub-continent when for a population of just over 400,000 we have rather a lot of sleaze, crime and perversion. And no, I don’t ‘aspire’ to multiculturalism. I actually believe that societies work better when all incomers blend in as far as possible instead of ghettoising themselves – but they have to be allowed to do that by a resident population that doesn’t put up barriers. Incidentally, how do you imagine that the Maltese population came to be what it is today – homogenous – when the physical evidence and surnames show that we’re from all over the Mediterranean littoral and beyond?]
