Ivan Magro Dingli: I did not say you&#039;re speaking in someone&#039;s defence. I said you don&#039;t condemn racists. And I said that because here you are criticising someone for doing exactly that. What does that say about you? Think, please, before you shoot yourself in the other foot by making some other nonsensical reply.

Racism is not something one agrees with. It is something one approves or disapproves of, so drop the facetiousness - and please don&#039;t claim familiarity where none exists.]]></description>

Spot on Daphne. However I wish that people would use the same circumspect and intelligent attitude when it comes to cases where age of consent ( for sex ) is concerned.

In Malta men (they are invariably men and never women) of 18 or over have been dragged to court (and labelled paedophiles), by the same inspector mentioned in this case because of &#039;sex&#039; (this could be anything starting from a longish kiss) with someone under 18 years. There are even cases of people accused of having had &#039;sex&#039; with someone aged 18 year minus a few weeks.

In Malta the age of consent for sex is 18 years. It is the highest in Europe. It is ridiculous when one considers that our law allows one to get married at 16 years and make babies....with another person of any age be s/he 17 or 71. But it is illegal to have sex!

In Italy - 60 km away age of consent (for sex)  is 14 years. In most EU countries it hovers around the 15 years mark.]]></description>

The case you are referring to did involve a Nigerian man, though the women involved were one in her late teens, and another in her forties.  They were involved in some kind of threesome, so let&#039;s say they should have known better.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Why are you arguning?  This is a tragic event. I don&#039;t wish HIV to my worst enemies - it is here to stay, so let&#039;s be considerate and careful.

Detecting the virus so early can only mean that she had it before.]]></description>
