For a lady of your stature I, for one, expect much better.

Mind you, your opinion is respected when it&#039;s less biased and Franco has a right to criticize his Government just like the late Dom Mintoff did.

Do you adhere to the tenet that a Party is supreme?

That&#039;s what totalitarian regimes believe in, and I am sure you do not subscribe to a police state with a one-party system.

					<description><![CDATA[Never mind the correct spelling of seppuku/suppuku.

Any volunteers to chop of the head of any prospective seppuku if Dr Franco Debono succeeds to have the law  amended as necessary before he completes his POLITICAL harakiri?

Please excuse the use of Caps Lock necessary to ensure that I be not hauled before parliament or the courts of law accused of  inciting suicide or homicide..]]></description>

Is that an answer?

Indeed, you should have a long nap and tone down your arrogance!

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - I am not in the least bit arrogant. Those who know me will attest to that. Don&#039;t believe all you read in the Labour press. It&#039;s put together by Labour voters.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

its nothing to do with accent - the first syllable is translated as se not su :-)

ps my partner writes using all three forms of writing, often in the same sentence. Roughly speaking, they are used as follows 

Kanji - Chinese derived characters
Hiragana - Japanese derived words
Katakana - Western derived words]]></description>

http://japanese.reader.bz/seppuku

in hiragana/katakana, the word is written in 4 syllables - the first syllable is &quot;se&quot; not &quot;su&quot;

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - It all depends on one&#039;s accent: with mine, su and se are roughly the same when followed by other syllables (suppose, succeed, etc), though I do understand that some people suck seed.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>
