Eddy, ma nafx ghalfejn qed titkaza ghax ma juzawx isimhom.

Have you not yet understood that having practically full employment for the thousands of recent IT graduates, despite the global crisis faced by the Smart city backers, is an incredible achievement? 

Are you stupidly partisan or simply malicious?]]></description>

Malta tissellef bl&#039; 4.8% ghal 16-il sena waqt li pajjizi bhal Spanja b&#039; 7% u aktar.  Ir-rating at Malta hu wiehed mill-aqwa.

Dak huwa ir-rispett li tgawdi Malta taht in-Nazzjonalisti.

Bilhaqq Eddy tergaw iddahluh il-bulk buying meta tkunu fil-Gvern xi darba?]]></description>

Mandango, comments as yours really make me wonder whether we&#039;re living in the same galaxy, let alone in the same country.

&quot;If we do the wrong decisions, than (sic) we&#039;d have learnt a lesson and know better the next time round&quot;.

OK, so, let me try to understand this: so you need to make a mess of things before appreciating what you have now, right? 

I&#039;m quite confused, I really am.  Mandango, we&#039;re here in Malta wasting time splitting hairs on whether Arriva have the right bus tyres on and whether some male politicians who would certainly feel more at ease in a tutu whilst most of Europe, bar one or two countries, are battling the highest-ever recorded unemployment. Our unemployment rate is 6.4% whilst in neighbouring Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal and all the 23 EU States lingering behind us people are struggling to find a job and retain it. 

This is, as far as I&#039;m concerned, the single most important element in our economy. Indeed, one cannot ignore the record numbers in tourism, the gargantuan infrastructural projects, the sheer numbers at all our higher educational institutions, and the list goes on and on.

Yet, you mention the democratic deficit. Or whatever you called it. I can&#039;t be bothered to scroll up and read because, I&#039;m sorry Mandango, people who wait for a mess to happen for them to decide then to change their way fail to realise that lift is a bitch which only gives you an opportunity once. Screw that, and life is screwed. That is life and frankly if you haven&#039;t understood this of life, then, I&#039;m sorry to say, you need to gain more maturity.]]></description>

I don&#039;t ordinarily show who I am, but I do on The Times.  I answer you using my full name, but those Muppets at timesofmalta.com never upload my comments.  

On the other hand, you are very fond of who you are - rightly or wrongly - and you are constantly hovering around everywhere trying to find a reason for your existence.  

The Times love you because it keeps their visitor numbers high.  They wouldn&#039;t do anything to stop you making an utter fool of yourself lest their visitors go down.

At your age, it&#039;s ridiculous to continue harping about the injustices that you suffered in the past.  You have no recourse and nothing will make it right now.  

You will have lived as a bitter man, and died a bitter man that very few people liked.  Others had no choice but to like you.
