Whatever you’re smoking, the Maltese government isn’t going to decriminalise it…

I have not doubt that Labour intended to shut the Church’s mouth. i have doubts whether you are a labour supporter or not. The Labour party tried to influence its sympathisers. That title came out in the Maltastar before the church had anytime to speak out it sthoughts. The church didn’t do anything wrond in the 1960s. It was all labours fault.

Don’t you believe that having a strong lasting family is better than having a second or a third family. Researc

That is the church preachings and research abour divorce have proven this.

[Robert Galea – What have we learnt from this referendum? We have learnt how valid and relevant is still the church’s preachings to live a good life for everyone].

Debatable and nothing to do with the referendum at all.

[Robert Galea – It has shown the strength of our religion in trying to strengthen the marriage].

One does not strengthen marriage by forcing people to stay in the marriage. A strong marriage is not one where people have no option but to stay in the marriage. It is one where people choose to stay in the marriage.

[Robert Galea – Everyone stands to gain from a healthy family. A healthy family is a strong society].

Of course.

[Robert Galea – That’s why divorce is outdated and a failure].

Non sequitur and utterly false. Divorce is not intended to save marriages. Divorce per se cannot be sensibly called a failure. If anything, the need for divorce might give the impression that marriage is a failure. Of course, I don’t believe it is.

[Robert Galea – That’s why this century we are moving away from the philosophy of the last century and that’s because the things which happened in the last century or more (among these divorce) are a failure].

Simply saying that something is, does not make it so.

[Robert Galea – The twist in philosophy is an admission of failure].

Twist in philosophy? What do you mean by that?

[Robert Galea – Is Saviour Balzan to be taken seriously?]

Irrelevant straw man argument. Saviour Balzan did not invent divorce. And even if he did, your argument would be an ad hominem fallacy.

[Robert Galea – The church’s letter to the electorate is a sign of maturity, civic reponsibily and good manners (sign of education)].

I’m still not sure what they apologized for (they didn’t say), if they actually did (some say they did, some insist it was not an apology). I actually saw it as a sign of immaturity, civic irresoponsibility and very bad manners (a sign of naivety – they think we’re stupid).

[Robert Galea – Qualities which Saviour Balzan cannot recognize because he doent’ have in his repertoire. He is just an idiot and imbecile. I don’t know who is that idiot who appointed him editor. He is an irrational uneducated person].

Perhaps I should remind you that this is not Malta Today.

[Robert Galea – Shame on you Labour]

Neither is this Kullhadd or Maltastar.

[Robert Galea – You told the church to shut up and stop preaching].

Nobody did so.

[Robert Galea – Typical labour ipocrisy telling that he is tolerant and at the same time telling those who oppose them to shut up].

To be fair, Labour didn’t tell anyone to shut up.

[Robert Galea – Quoting Labour Has the church done enough to compensate for its mistakes in the 1960s? Before even the church has had time to speak out its thoughts].

I’ll take your word that you’re not misquoting. I’ll answer the question for you. No. And I’m not a Labour supporter. And do you seriously believe that everyone should sheepishly wait for the church to give its own opinion before uttering anything? People no longer delegate their minds to the Church. You’d do well to get used to that.

What have we learnt from this referendum?

We have learnt how valid and relevant is still the church’s preachings to live a good life for everyone. It has shown the strength of our religion in trying to strengthen the marriage. Everyone stands to gain from a healthy family. A healthy family is a strong society. That’s why divorce is outdated and a failure.

Goodbye.

[NGT – Saying that you’ve “finally seem to have attracted” DCG’s attentions means that you’ve been trying to do so for a long time. Sounds pretty sad to me].

He probably did not mean to say “finally”. Then again, he does teach English!

Saying that you’ve “finally seem to have attracted” DCG’s attentions means that you’ve been trying to do so for a long time. Sounds pretty sad to me.

I wonder about the kind of drivel he might be spouting in the lecture room. It is also quite amusing that while he is fond of calling the Malta Today comments board a stinking cesspit and so forth, he has no qualms about inhabiting it.

It’s what Malta is all about.

You don’t like a rule, then you ignore it.

It’s part of the fabric.

Malta has some of the finest people with talent, flair, imagination and intelligence, anywhere in the world. Unfortunately, with the exception of Simon, none of them are in politics.

Look at this clown:

And what sort of English language teacher gets the spelling of a word right the first time, but then sends a “correction” on the correctly spelled word (spelling it wrongly the second time), and all for the sake of a “non-entity”?
