…”hate anything “girly”, and who insist on dressing up in traditional male costumes – Batman, Ben 10, Spiderman, etc” – surely this does not imply that a girl will grow up to be a lesbian (!)

[Daphne – If you think that was rude, you haven’t a clue what I’m capable of. Please leave before I really let rip.]

You tackle issue by issue – this is true and as you say, when you have a lengthy piece of writing it doesn’t work to write en masse underneath. Ma nafx – qisu hemm kemm arguments in favour u hemm against. Ma tistax tivvinta xi haga fejn forsi tiktek on the side rather milli taht? Tkun qed taqbad issue issue, yet thalli the original script originali… no idea what this involves from a tech point of view or whether it is at all possible.

[Daphne – It isn’t possible technically and it wouldn’t work visually.]

Several million women drive, don’t spend hundreds of euros a year on their hair, don’t have 47 pairs of shoes and don’t wear make up or make frivolous purchases like tickets to football matches, expensive cars, and sundry gadgets that do little to add to quality of life in a household. I’m one of them.

Men don’t get moods? No, they get depressed because ‘their’ football team/waterpolo team/horse had a bad day. Men don’t collapse in hormonal heaps. They go into a massive sulk without any legitimate biological reason.

Perhaps the reason men don’t spend hundreds of euros a year on their hair is because they’re bald, but give the average man a couple of hundred thousand euros and he’ll buy himself a Ferrari ‘because he deserves it’.

Calm down, calm down… but Daphne, you are right in saying that this is your house, so your rules. But he does have a point – despite putting the word in a rather inappropriate fashion. I too find it difficult to follow the arguments, but I enjoy the blog, so have to get used to the rules. But, in the spirit of improvement, I politely suggest that you consider it.

[Daphne – It wouldn’t work. It is clearer and more coherent to take each point as it comes up and answer it, rather than tackling all the points en masse beneath, which would leave readers unable to keep track. Perhaps the ‘conversational style’ of ‘Stephen Borg Cardona’ is to pronounce himself at length and then to turn to somebody else and say ‘Now it’s your turn to speak.’ But that’s not the way conversation works.]

My most sincere apologies then – a computer bug.

I’m not doing this to waste time, Daphne. There is nothing here that should not interest you and your readers intensely, unless you intentionally want to remain inside that small box (which is impossible, on second thoughts, cos you wouldn’t know in the first place).

But let me just challenge your readers to watch Parts 6 and 7 of “America: From Freedom to Fascism” – it would be difficult not to carry on once one understands what they’re talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOHJjq5uZb8 (you’d have to give yourself a chance to understand this tip of a huge iceberg).

The situation is precarious now – and it affects us all. Since that film was made (2006) there have been numrous developments in the same direction – I know because I have been following – not the loonies, but the same American media that repeats government statements and reports on congressional bills (not TV of course).

The interview I was referring to in the previous post is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGAaPjqdbgQ (Reflections And Warnings – An Interview With Aaron Russo).

I’ll let you all to your frivolities… where ignorance is bliss, ’tis indeed folly…
