					<description><![CDATA[By the way, to all those hypocrites who think they are the only hope for humankind because they think they know everything ... the word &#039;elejjef&#039; exists just as much as the word &#039;eluf&#039; does; when one speaks Maltese it is mentioned time and again. Who knows, maybe I use it more often than you because of a dialect? Be that as it may, I do not know why all of you are so SHOCKED at the use of such a word. I&#039;m sorry but it seems to me that yours is a pathetic attempt at looking smart and making me look foolish - it&#039;s exactly like criticizing someone for using the words &#039;turġien&#039; and &#039;taraġ&#039;. Grow up.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I want to know how you got access to my Facebook wall without permission. Yes I know it is a public site, but what I write can only be read by my friends. This is invasion of privacy and I demand a reply.

P.S. All those who think I have bad grammar and orthography are wrong; just because millions, and I do mean MILLIONS around the internet write &quot;badly&quot; does not mean they are idiots; it is merely a way to write faster ... and besides, I have the right to say whatever I want on my own Facebook wall.

Moreover, I am not a B.Com student, and &#039;Sean Paul&#039; is as good a name as any, just as the surname &#039;Goodlip&#039; is.

That is all. Good day to all. I sincerely hope I offended no one, but I repeat, what I write on my wall is not completely public and I want to know how Mrs. Galizia acquired such information. Thanks.]]></description>

B.Comm is a natural progression only if it paves the way to a subsequent BA, be it in accounts, finance, banking or insurance.  

Remaining at the B.Comm level and not taking it further  to a proper degree does not add significantly to a person&#039;s qualification, and I say this as someone who receives scores of CVs from people who wish to start a career in finance.

The sheer number of B.Comms coming out of university has, in fact, demoted this qualification to a level marginally above an A level.  

If I might be so bold as to suggest, Not Tonight, that you should encourage your son  to consider B.Comm as the first stepping stone to further knowledge and qualifications, and not the end of journey.]]></description>

I am sure there are very many valid graduates who have earned a B. Com degree and who are erudite and eloquent. It&#039;s a shame that their less competent colleagues let them down so badly with their vacant, misspelt and badly punctuated rants. The more of this sort of rubbish pours it, the less I am inclined to engage anyone who list B. Com as a qualification.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[There&#039;ll be a few bad apple on every tree.  I don&#039;t think it&#039;s fair on the vast majority of students who never cause any trouble or ever become insufferable show-offs, to be targeted for ridicule.  

My son had economics and accounts for &#039;O&#039; level, economics and marketing for &#039;A&#039; level - B.Com was a natural progression.  The world of finance fascinates him.  He&#039;s not stupid, not in the least bit violent and he loves nothing more than to mind his own business.  I&#039;m sure there are scores more just like him.]]></description>
