HP Baxxter, students who do not form part of these organisations always assume there are political ties, it is the student organisations themselves that boast their lack of political ties. A person should be able to believe their most basic promise.

Also, there being two different organisations is there to help both of them [organisations] to grow and be able to offer more and more to the students, if there is only one massive massive then there will be only one leading power which will rest at ease that they&#039;ll remain in &quot;power&#039; and thus do nothing, and offer nothing.]]></description>

@ Sandro Borg

It is best that you keep reading Daphne so that perhaps the level of your English improves. With some luck at the same time you might also learn to think for yourself and use logic in your arguments. 

Good luck.]]></description>

If &quot;the primary aim&quot; of both SDM and Pulse is &quot;to assist students with their studies&quot;, and if they are not political organisations, then why have two organisations at all? Why have elections? Why not just unite into one massive massive (OK, I&#039;m quoting Ali G) and live happily ever after?

I used to think Malta&#039;s champions of self-delusion were the &quot;Malta pajjiz tal-valuri u familja&quot; brigade, but UOM students have knocked them off the podium.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Mrs. Caruana Galizia, would you be kind enough to tell me how does it fit in for you to slur someone because of their looks? Or how can you insult/judge the parents without even knowing who you are talking about? That is the difference between a modest successful journalist and you (I don&#039;t even have a name for you).

The only reason why I even bother to read your blog is because of your English, which is impeccable. I strive to improve my English writing and so I enjoy reading your literature. 

However most of your arguments are pretty inattentive and biased, which sort of distress me. I am not going to ensconce the fact that I support Labour, but I also have to include the fact that I am an SDM activist. What I would like to point out is the fact that in scholastic terms, neither PN nor PL have anything to do with these organizations (You can verify this with both presidents of SDM and Pulse). Just in case it slipped your mind, the primarily aim of the organizations is to assist the students with their studies and etc and not to exhort political affairs. Politics was not the reason of why these organizations have been established. 

I then find no objection in why you uploaded this clip, after all this is on YouTube and really and truly can be shared by anyone. 

Next point, can you please tell me how does the hair of that guy define him as gay? I believe that democracy was erected so that each and every one of us is free to do whatever we like, as long as the law is not fragmented. Your remark has been rather clichéd and that is another quality which I don’t like in you (Stereotypes).

Neither of my parents are into politics and perhaps you could say that then they are ignorant, but frankly I don’t really care about you opinion just like you don’t care about mine, but I should add that it was just up to me to decide which party to vote for two weeks ago. I wasn’t raised as a ‘laburist’ but I learnt to understand (Reading newspaper and catching up on current affairs and bla bla) that Labour MIGHT be the solution. This means that your argument is invalid and that therefore one’s beliefs don’t fundamentally hinge on how one was raised.  

I would appreciate it if you could spare two minutes and give me a reply. 

P.s Feel free to correct my English, because that is how I get to learn 

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Oh dear Lord. Are you an undergraduate? Standards at the University of Malta can&#039;t possibly have sunk THIS low? It really is frightening, especially knowing that you&#039;ll get out the other end with a degree and yet the chances of there being any improvement between now and then are nought.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have to say that reading the comments below this article made my stomach lurch. The things you said to Ms. Caruana Galizia are outrageous and pure evil. And then you call her &#039;hadra&#039; just because she speaks her mind?

I have to give it to you, Daphne. I admire your guts, ruthlessness, strength, and defiance. Half of the people who commented here and offended you, only wish they had half the courage you have to speak their own mind bluntly.

Unfortunately, being blunt and honest is wrongly interpreted in this bloody country. 

Freedom of Speech and Association as penned down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a right given to everyone. Anyone has the right to say whatever they want to say, no matter how ruthless or striking that may be. Those who assault and stop people from expressing themselves completely, are obviously the ones committing an offence.

For all of those Nationalists who are stupid enough to believe that Pulse is truly independent - Open your bloody eyes. It&#039;s not. Everyone in their right mind can note that the executive members are made up of people who are deeply involved in Labour politics. 

They are controlled by members of the Forum Zghazagh Laburisti and have strong links with the Labour Party. They even took part in Labour Party campaign videos. If you want to be foolish enough to continue to believe whatever the Executive have shoved down your gullet, grow up and think for yourselves and take a good look around you.

Alex Cutajar - I have only two things to say to you. I am disgusted by your atrocious grammar and use of English. It is shocking that you think you are fit to write a blog, when you are so misinformed and can&#039;t structure a simple sentence.]]></description>
