Divorce movement complains to BA about Monday's Bondi Plus

Why is it that in this country fairness seems to be such a problem? Moviment IVA are only asking for balance so that the viewers will come to their own conclusions after having heard both sides of the argument. Their objection to giving clips comes from the fact that these create a situation where the viewers are made to believe that there is a balance when, in fact, there is not. Is it the first time that people who give interviews get quoted out of context and then find themselves unable to comment because they are at home? I think that the pro-divorce movement simply does not want to risk having its words twisted because the issue at hand deserves to be treated with great care. It shows responsibility and a proper attitude towards the discussion of serious issues.

Re: "If you would like to get Divorced, why don't you all go and live somewhere else and leave us all in the peace of God."
How right you are ... then you can come back here and register your "previous marriage dissolved" in the Public Registry and marry again in Malta in your "peace of God".
It will be probably better than getting a divorce in Malta whenever and however that is made possible!
What hypocrisy!

With all due respect this issue requires a healthy discussion with both parties present and not a one way irrational diatribe as expected by the anti-divorce 'movement'. If this thing is going to go ahead as planned then I believe that for the sake of balance Bondiplus should invite JPO for a one on one interview the following week.

Tolerance my foot, you have no idea of its meaning , Look at it this way, I did not call you EVIL!
Try again Adrian Cardona, but then what I say is fact there are other things which should worry us more about our children then the issue of divorce think about it . Oh YES zero tolerance.

i don't agree with this at all! a referendum is going to be held, so people need to understand both sides. i know what the anti-divorce movement is about, and what the pro-divorce is about. this program needs a proper debat, 2 representatives from both sides talking and explaining their views.

SANDRO - don't blab bout rights, you have no idea what rights are! where is our right to do what we want with our lives? where is our right to move on from a broken marriage?

J CAMILLERI - you think by not legalizing divorce, its going to make marriages any different? arguments will still take place. couples will still split up. i spoke to a priest today who told me that god is just being used, and its true! no one is looking at the real picture and everyone just chooses to stay ignorant.
"if you would (NOT) like to get Divorced" then just don't get divorced! it's so simple.
he has definately got my vote, n many others :) who wants cowards anyways

To be fair Bondiplus should give the Pro Divorce Side a one on one chance to appear.. I always thought Bondiplus was a well balanced show. I don't know what the story is now but it does seem that Mr Bondi is presenting a one sided scale. Bondiplus is very aware that in order to be fair there has to be a Pro and a Con but maybe he has a hidden agenda for permitting only the one side. After all this is Public TV and both sides are entitled to express their views. So in all I am sure Mr Bondi has a good explanation for presenting only the one side. Could it be the Pro Divorce side declined his offer to appear? Mr Bondi I think the Pro Divorce side is entitled to a rebuttal unless you were ordered to do otherwise..

With all the events happening of late and not so of late, we have made this country of ours, Malta, a total circus and the laughing stock of many. Can't we realize that we should be more mature and serious in what we do and how we act? Is it possible that we have not learnt from our past mistakes and from others, who are much better than us? It seems not. .

Divorce NO
Strong Marriages YES
I hope that after the Divorce Movement loses this issue with a landslide JPO doesn't start crying once again.

Ser titlef xeba voti man!! min dak li qed nisma

If you would like to get Divorced, why don't you all go and live somewhere else and leave us all in the peace of God.

But are not the national buttons usually pressed by hidden hands way out of the public's sight? Who knows what the powers that be have in store? Who knows what influence the anti-divorsists will bring to bear as they put on a smiling face to an unsuspecting public? The movement IVA need to take this as read and have their own strategy in place. Spending too much energy trying to counter hidden hands may mean too much wasted energy. the IVA argument is very powerful and games that will try to muddle these arguments as is already happening in a big way will only serve to finally expose the hidden power mongers.

How primitive can you get ! You people make me sick , what a bunch of hypocrites
You should be more worried about sex predators running around with their handy or ipods showing porn to the under aged to lure them into sex, then all this drama about divorce.
Give me a break, and stop being a bunch of idiots.
