Francis: your anatomy lessons did not tell you that the best way to sit on a fence is with one leg on each side and I know without onve having attended an anatomy lesson that testicles do get in the way when you do that.They even do so when you ride a bike so much so that modern bicycle seats have a sort of comfort hollow for male riders.

ciccio: you must have sensed my toungue stuck firmly in my cheek while writing that these ‘men’ have balls. :-)

They’re still losing votes as it is Silvio. For example, I feel extremely uncomfortable voting for an MP who abstains from a divorce vote.

They’re either bad at maths, or maybe it might be religion after all.

PM Gonzi just told Parliament that he is going to vote against the divorce bill. He referred to his “conscience” as the reason why. Where has his conscience been hiding all these years divorce has been perfectly legal in Malta, as long as it was obtained outside Malta?

I think it is fact that ethical standards in the family, in politics, in journalism and in many professions are falling. The recent scandal of News of the World should be an eyeopener. The most popular British gutter newspaper had the lowest ethical standards. Is money our new god, replacing other values as basic human dignity and decency? Is this the future of our journalism?

Dostoyevsky’s comment in The Brothers Karamazov on God and morality may be right after all.

You are assuming these men have testicles, though.
Did you set that as a trap?

You are the only male I know who sits on his testicles. My anatomy lessons say that human beings, male and female actually sit on their ischial tuberosities with their genitals way out of the way.

I know just as many eligible voters who abstained because they were confused and misled by the propaganda lie that prominent Catholic priests were in favour of the proposed divorce law or that faithful Catholics were at liberty to reject Christ’s teaching about the indissilobulity of marriage if their “conscience” said so.

I did not say anywhere that sitting on a fence is the advisable courageous thing to do. I said that jumping off the fence so as to follow the herd requires still less courage, in fact it needs no courage at all.

We were right half the time.
