Enlighten us on transgender issues. Because I see human rights issues. And economic issues. And environmental issues. And scientific issues. And technical issues.

But I&#039;ve never seen lesbian, or gay, or transexual, or bisexual issues. Neither have I seen heterosexual issues.]]></description>

Don&#039;t be bloody idiotic. Gay Pride being &#039;government-sponsored and endorsed by none other than the ambassadors of 3 ‘progressive’ countries&#039; is fantastic and it&#039;s done all over the world. That&#039;s not to say that there aren&#039;t plenty of Nationalists who are also very support of LGBT issues.

And please, educate yourself on transgender issues before you spout out that rubbish. That&#039;s all it takes, the decency to know at least little about a topic before you say offensive things.]]></description>

What is more worrying is that in luring back the lost votes, the PN leadership is not only emulating JM&#039;s leadership moves but literally playing the same tune now that he&#039;s in government.

I still can&#039;t stomach the public apology for the previous government&#039;s appeal from the court sentence that altered Joanne Cassar&#039;s gender on the official birth certificate. (Incidentally, who was the judge that decided in favour of altering such an indisputable biological fact)?

There is clearly a distinction between one&#039;s sex (i.e. gender) and his/her sexuality (a psycho-emotional aspect of one&#039;s personality). Surely not everybody has been fooled by the Xarabank explanation of Joanne&#039;s personality as &#039;a woman born into a man&#039;s body&#039;.

Returning to the PN, why all this panic about winning back the switchers? I&#039;m sure they haven&#039;t all switched because they have joined &#039;the pink movement&#039;. What about the other PN &#039;faithfuls&#039; who voted for them because they are the better option for political governance and socio-economic development?

I thought the PN didn&#039;t believe in &#039;earthquakes&#039;, so why all this fuss about the first 100 days of the new PN opposition - as if to erase the 25 years&#039; mistakes all at one go? Isn&#039;t it obvious that the &quot;bicycle people with a Mercedes mentality&quot; were fed up with the same party in government and wanted to experiment with change?

Why don&#039;t they take it more easy and let time give Labour&#039;s &#039;new way of doing politics&#039; more rope to hang itself with? 

The Opposition&#039;s role is to criticise the government&#039;s policies and open our eyes to its implementation mistakes. Internal adjustments need not be so apologetically publicised just for the sake of switchers who at this early stage won&#039;t admit they&#039;ve been duped.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Sandro had better watch out. Working till 3:30am on a daily basis is asking for trouble. Anyway it&#039;s not the hours one spends &#039;working&#039; that count, but how productive one is. 

Is there really so much going on in this ministry (I highly doubt it) or does he go to the office at 11:30 am like the great leader?]]></description>

&lt;em&gt;Many people in Malta think that it’s high time we had gay marriage and divorce etc, and the Nationalists have had 25 years to give us all these things and they haven’t.&lt;/em&gt;

So childishly true. To think that only 10-15 years ago Labour leader KMB argued that by joining the EU Maltese would not only lose their jobs to other Europeans but the AIDS incidence would rise sharply.

Seeing that nothing of this sort happened Labour is now orgasmic about &#039;writing&#039; our sexual fantasies for all the world to see. Previously Maltese in general went about their lives without caring much about individuals&#039; sexual orientation and/or behaviour. Within a year or so since the introduction of divorce we now want the various types of sexual behaviours formalised ... all in the name of &#039;Love&#039;,

We&#039;re now saying that someone born as gender X some 25 years ago can now go officially as gender Y. For the first time the Gay Pride march is  government-sponsored  and endorsed by none other than the ambassadors of 3 &#039;progressive&#039; countries. Is this a world first, too?

Because &quot;Love is Love&quot; I&#039;m getting worried where this is leading to. With so much love and attention being showered on animals ... oh, what am I thinking of? 

Is this another case of &#039;a bicycle community with a Mercedes mentality?]]></description>
