Yes, of course Malta&#039;s is a population of cowards. Examine the evidence.]]></description>

Population of cowards? What do you know about being a heroine, if I may ask? I don&#039;t mind the opinions bit you wrote about because that is fair comment, but &quot;such a population of cowards&quot; stinks, Ms. Caruana Galizia.]]></description>

I agree with you, and I dislike overdramatic. 

But there is a huge distance between level of knowledge of some, compared  to the level of the simple villager. 

You have great respect to simple people who keep to their roles and daily life. I too dislike persons who are the first to make a fuss of Malta monuments and drama and then, one finds that they are the first to abuse human rights in all forms. 

One case example Mintoff u Jum Il-Helsien, where he was the first to walk over any form of freedom.  

One must be prudent when one discusses national anthems and emblems coat of arms etc. These are national issues and when tampered, can cause severe damage to an already sick society.  

Once someone brought out Germany as an example, just imagine the damage done ,just because the lyrics where excessive nationalistic &quot;Deutschland Deutschland uber alles&quot; to the point of hysteria. 

Nowadays Germans know that to be great one has to work and move on. Their national identity is not for sale but anyone can adopt it should one feels like. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The tal-pepe ARE genetically different. They interbred among just 10% of an already tiny population and married non-Maltese when the 10% didn&#039;t provide what they wanted.

And whereas greater mobility between villages outside the inner harbour area meant that people stopped marrying only within their own village, the tal-pepe did not stop their practice of marrying only within their narrow social group or outside Malta completely. It&#039;s still happening today, with just a few exceptions which are mainly the result of large amounts of money compensating for the lack of the rest.]]></description>
