Cuc int, u icwec minnek minn ghamlek Professor.

F’dak is-sens, jixbhu hafna lill-Maltin: They may be brilliant as individuals, but they’re shamefully let down by their government. Thankfully for their armed forces, they’ve been given the opportunity to shine in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Ha nghidlek x’rekord rebhet l-Italja li mhu se jghaddiha HADD u QATT. Nofs il-patrimonju monumentali u artistiku tad-dinja jinsab fl-Italja. Minghajr ma nsemmi l-opri Taljani li jinsabu fin-National Gallery, British Museum, Louvre, Alte Pinakothek ecc ecc ….

Define peace.

And please don’t say that’s what we had until mid-February.

According to Profs. Godfrey Pirotta (our main guy in Social Policy at Uni) :

“… under normal circumstances all issues should be openly debated in Parliament but I would contest that the crisis in North Africa, especially Libya, falls under the category of normal circumstances. You will find that when a country is faced with potential danger the need for government and opposition is to remain focused rather than to shoot from the hip. But really what is there to debate on this issue in parliament? Whether we should make available our non-existing military facilities simply because of a bunch of foreign correspondents remain rooted in the years when Malta was a military base? Obviously they have not been to Malta in the last twenty years for otherwise they would have seen how we have transformed these former military facilities in all sort of tourist, commercial and social projects. e.g Tigne Point…..”

Does this mean that the Prime Minister has lied again? He repeatedly said there were no requests to host military aircraft in Malta.

Isn’t it time for someone to confront Lawrence Gonzi or Tonio Borg with this kind of information, and ask for an explanation?

Minn mindu nghaqdet bhala pajjiz l-Italja harget b’dawn l-unuri: ittradiet l-alleanza li kellha ma’ Germanja u l-Awstrja; ghamlet gwerra kontra l-Abyssinia, l-iktar pajjiz fqir fid-dinja; qalbet minn naha ghall-ohra fit-tieni gwerra dinjija.

Rekord tal-misthija. Ma jfissirx li il-poplu Taljan huwa maghmul kollu minn kodardi, l-anqas xejn, imma bhala pajjiz, fil-kolletiv, jidher li ma tantx jaf jaghzel.

Agreed. Most commenters here put forward very rational and enlightening arguments. Even if I might not agree with some, I still enjoy reading them.

Some submissions only seem to wallow in racism, bigotry and downright ignorance.

I’d say that they have their finger on the pulse of the average floating voter.

That’s all they care about.
