We have to come to reaslise that every regulation is put in place by government and other institutions specifically to favour special interest groups at the expense of the general population.

Though many might disagree, there are only cosmetic differences between PN, PL, AD and the rest. Their ultimate desire is control of the masses. Sadly, the EU has turned out to be no different.

If the video below doesn’t shock you to the core, don’t know what will. Watch it till the very end for a very interesting remark from Hans-Gert Pottering.

So 7 billion people can’t be wrong.

I still cannot understand how this country turned divorce into such an issue. It’s another case of Only in Malta ……and Philippines.

“Do I hear them say that people cannot be trusted to behave responsibly and have only as many children as they can afford, and so the state should have a say in the number of children we are allowed to have, based on how much money we earn and how many loans we still have to pay off?”

…. Just love that!

Is it perhaps, as stupidly suggested some time ago, that the Church would lose money in the annulment procedure? Absurd, I should say.

To be quite frank everyone can do as they wish, the effect on their children is their problem not mine.

But I am voting Yes because I do not believe under any circumstance that I should further upset my children by getting married again. Anyway can we not be completely happy if we are not married? God some people need a life.

They are the odd-balls, the strange fish, and the ‘camp’. Their views are abnormal, unacceptable and unaccepted in a non-isolationist context, weirder than the Rosicrucians. ”

I am convinced that Daphne has no obsessive need to control our lives. I am also convinced that only those who do not agree with her dudu-tal-art-opinions want to obsessively control our lives. God is wrong, Daphne is right.
