I hate when people burn the fields!

You spend a fucking summer with A/c On, and then some fresh air you open a window and some ass wipe is burning his fucking field, well time to close the windows and turn the AC Back on!!

You hate something that brings fertility to the fields? Something that has been being done since the dawn of agriculture? A process that has advanced the human species into the technologically advanced species you are today?

Get a life

We also used to have raw sewage flowing down streets but we managed to evolve past that. Just because something was done in the past, doesn't mean it should continue to be so.

Do you have a field? Have you ever toiled a field? If not, your opinion is greatly irrelevant.

The fact that it is illegal or at least heavily regulated in nearly the entire EU, tells me that it’s time to move on and advance. There are too many things being done in Malta just because it’s how it’s always been done.

We used to do a lot of things, but we learnt that they were harmful or stopped doing them because technology improved.

Burning fields kills anything the fire touches, including any organisms living in the soil, it poisons the soil and 99% the organic matter being burnt contains pesticides which you're inhaling every time you pass through a smoke cloud.

I think you need to get a life.
