					<description><![CDATA[What difference does it make if she was in a relationship or not? Do you know, for instance, that not all people fighting for same-sex marriage are gay people in a relationship? Do you know that some of them are even heterosexuals who care about HUMAN rights?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - And do you know that I&#039;m one of them? Obviously not. Low IQ/Read Nothing Except Facebook/Malta Taghna Lkoll. Buzz off, please. Life is short and I suffer fools far less gladly than I did even two years ago.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In the ideal world, you would be right. Unfortunately, in Malta you cannot grab the powers-that-be&#039;s attention unless you politicise something. 

One of the main reasons why Labour won this election is that all lobby groups disillusioned by the PN government jumped on the Labour bandwagon, even if some of those same lobby groups wouldn&#039;t stand each other if they were put in a room together. 

The end justifies the means, I guess.]]></description>

Thank you Daphne, for going to the root of things.

I think the Nationalist Party should start by examining issues on a veracity scale or ruler of this sort for everything that happens under this Labour Government and publish this veracity scale for people to understand from the outset what the logic is based on and how it is being twisted, distorted and manipulated.

Labour used some very simple graphics in their campaign. They exploited any situation in any way that suited them.  Simple graphics and pictures are what people in general understand. 

Asking them to read is like the &#039;briksa&#039; ethics way of doing things.

Veracity scales are used to sort out communication problems and disputes and could be a good point of departure. One plots all information on the subject according to where it fits on the range: from gossip and hearsay to hard fact. 

Not to be forgotten is also the fact that irrespective of politics, the advent of the internet and all developments since have happened at a very fast rate.  People may have lost their bearings.  What they knew has been changed on its head in more ways than one.]]></description>

Minorities? Hardly. The yes camp was the majority.

No, they fought against divorce legislation because that was the only thing left to them. The PN thinks that Christian Democrat means opposing divorce legislation. Because they do not realise there are other political battles to be fought.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I just can never understand all the commotion that people like this create.

They have a right to do whatever they like and fancy as long as it is all consensual.

Marry my dog, have sex with my washing machine. It is all irrelevant to me.

As long as they do not involve innocent third parties, and I am referring specifically and emphatically to children, let them get on with it.

For fuck&#039;s sake.]]></description>
