Jien ma nahmilx lil dawk li biex jikkritikaw lil xi hadd..gvern, knisja ecc jiktbu hmerijiet li jikxfu HUMA  sress l-injoranza taghhom. Ghax biex tasal tipparaguna lil Malta ma&#039; dawn il-pajjizi trid tkun mhux injorant, imma essenza ta&#039; l-injoranza.  Illum bil-mezzi moderni li haw (mhux bhal fi zmien il-lejber) illum kulhadd jista&#039; jara kif inhi l-hajja barra minn Malta.  Mhux biss l-Iran, il-Pakistan, l-iraq......imma anki f&#039;hafna pajjizi Ewropej...Haw genna ta&#039; l-art anki b&#039;Gonzi fil-Gvern.  Ahseb u ara jkekk ikollna lil Joseph!]]></description>

My simple answer is yes.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 For example: &quot;Jekk il-bambin jrid - the new public lavatory in Bugibba will be inaugurated in a month&#039;s time.&quot; As if the baby Jesus gives a shit about the lavatory in Bugibba. Also &quot;Jekk jrid il-Bambin the PN will win the next election.&quot; It&#039;s wrong of the prime minister to drag him into these matters.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Well, the honourable minister should read his bible before making such stupid statements. There&#039;s a lot there which justifies genocide, infanticide, rape, villainous behaviour towards women, racism, slavery and cruelty to animals.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Only in the Old Testament, though, and that was superseded, for Christians, by the New Testament.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;God has a say in the morals of this world, of our country, of our families, as individuals and when we break God’s order of things, we bring disorder and pain upon ourselves.&quot;

What happens if there is a god, but it&#039;s not the god you believe in?

Do Catholics and Protestants believe in the same god? Surely not as one accepts divorce and one doesn&#039;t.

What if there are no gods, other than those invented by mankind, and there have been plenty of those - the difference between an atheist and a Christian? Christians reject all gods but one - atheists go one step further towards the truth.]]></description>

David, int bis-serjeta qed ixxebbah lil Malta ma&#039; l-Iran?  Zgur li le, ghax hadd ma jista&#039; jkun daqstant stupidu.  Anqas jekk ikun Laburist.

Yor/Malta....fanatical supporters have always existed on both sides and will always exist, BUT  well known criminals who terrorised Malta were protected by the despotic Labour regime, while PN fanatics, very few in  number, are completely harmless because they know perfectly well that the PN will not tolerate any wrong-doing.
