By “experience of life” you basically mean that I still believe in the importance of social capital, and reject the notion that one should only care about oneself and to hell with the greater good or the long run.

Mr Loporto, I am well aware of how egotistical and selfish individuals are in this world. One can see how today’s super powers achieved that status by exploiting the resources of other countries, leaving those less fortunate countries in pieces.

I am well aware of the mentality of, “Who cares what that country does to others, we should just care about our interests”. It is that mentality that drags a country into the worst situations imaginable, and in the long run gives it more enemies than friends, and ruins its reputation, making it harder to do business with.

It was this mentality that Mintoff, and now Muscat, promoted despite it being the wrong attitude to have. There is no value in being a bully.

AS a matter of fact one could tell that the writer was still a young puppy with no experience of life.

On the matter of fractions, I wish him well and hope he will manage to achive a fraction of what I did.with my limited intelligence and iinsight.

[Daphne – Oh, I’m well aware of his full name, Mr Loporto. He’s a fraction of your age and you haven’t a fraction of his intelligence or insight. You’re upset because it’s people like you who he’s got the sum of.]

Joseph used those facts very well in the last election.

The P.N. on the other hand have the disadvantage that many Labour supporters don’t know how to count let alone understand something complex like “living wage” hence they don’t realise that half of Joseph’s words are bullshit.

Could not have said it better, Jo.
