		<description>Guys, 

There was a time when men fought in combat and there is a time now when others will fight with technology.

Both fight together in wars today because the opposition fights in both ways.

This movement needs all of you as you all have gifts, knowledge and skills of valuable use.</description>

		<description>Dear Kent with Zeal,
                    Well if eveyone is going to be a fragile as China personality, then it should go for all concerned. All the men treated so badly should be allowed to cry out in fear etc and be in the Herald everyday with their story, instead we have nothing from that rag. 

  And since what you have said here bothers me you should retract hurting my feeling and on and on as everyone tries to out do who is more unduely hurt (or is the victim) until the cows come home. True moderate men activists( and you're not one of them)don't see they can't ever beat the sex that has been playing this role from the very beginning. If this is the ground for this gender war we will lose before we start. For if we go this way too much we lose huge chunks of men who thinks this unmanly, allow for inaction on the part of effeminate programmed men who have suffered to feel it is  "OK" to do nothing but bitch and many more ways to lose.

Yet that isn't what Kent wants at all. You want your side to be treated with kit gloves, while men can be treated with the evil that is going on in many feminist lead nations. This reaffirms your real target of playing games with your disinformation campaign for Helen's party. With your sidekick Tony, who plays the thin-skinned wall flower too, you are always only ready to whine about your own side's hurt feelings. Despite your desire to sound like you caring, you're still just a polical hack with Helen on your back riding you to the distruction of New Zealand.</description>

		<description>Casting those who go about lawfully and peacefully protesting as 'spitting people in the eye' is both ridiculous and shameful.
IMO it needs to be clearly understood that the Herald like much of contemporary media is riddled with feminists who will report in a biased manner. As there was much public support (wellwishers passing verbal thanks, car drivers tooting in support etc) the reporter in this case could equally have chosen to mention how many people FELT DELIGHTED that the protests were happening, but clearly they chose not to. Either that or these facts were editted out. 

It's becoming increasingly clear that other independent sources of information are increasingly relevant.
Long live bloggspace!

The hikoi might be a good idea.</description>

		<description>I read a Herald article regarding a 'bothering' which took place at a lawyer’s house when the lawyer was not present.  The wife and teenager were the only people there and they reported feeling threatened and scared.

It's not what you feel inside that is important here, but how you look from the public perspective.  You might feel good about what you are doing, but from where I stand it just looks bad.  The 'botherings' may have played a part in United MP, Turner, withdrawing her support. You are not going to get your just cause heard if you keep 'spitting people in the eye'.

I still cannot understand why you let, was it Wayne?, walk to Wellington by himself.  Why don't you choose a long weekend, form a proper hikoi, get public support along the way and turn up at parliament with thousands of supporters?  You will find implicit support everywhere, including politicians like Turner and others like Muriel Newman.  You just have to do it in the right manner.</description>

		<description>Personally I couldn't give a shit if the femily caught, child 'support' act and DV act have been around since Adam was a lad. Nor could I care less who brought them into being. 
I simply want that misandrist star chamber which stupidly parades itself as family-friendly to be superceded by an institution that's fair on men and kids, and openly accountable to society, very unlike the Kremlin like cult we have at present. 
I want the support of children to be seperated from the state indenture of men to upholding ex's lifestyles.
And domestic violence to be recognised and addressed as something pretty much equally perpetrated by both sexes.

As for the idea that protestors of the femily caught are frightening women and children - that's simply scaremongering nonesense and chivalrous bullshit.
If that were true there would have been evidence of it and arrests made. Neither has happened, despite TV cameras, reporters and lots of onlookers.</description>

		<description>I think New Zeal makes a valid and often overlooked point when he says:

&lt;blockquote&gt;The Family Court in its present form has been around a lot longer than the present government.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Remember, the two worst bits of legislation currently affecting men (the Child Support Act and the Domestic Violence Act), were inflicted on us by a National Government. 

I must admit to feeling somewhat depressed about the chances of us ever being taken seriously with someone like Chuck Bird as one of the NZ men's movements' most prominent spokesman.

For example, consider &lt;a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0609/S00363.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;this reaction from Anne Else in Scoop&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;As the &lt;em&gt;Sunday Star-Times&lt;/em&gt; made clear yesterday, this story stems from the looniest fringes of the so-called fathers' rights movement, as well as the religious right. The same groups have been pinning claims that Clark is a closet lesbian to their virulent attacks on a whole raft of allegedly "anti-family" Labour policies, from civil union to paid parental leave.&lt;/blockquote&gt; 

Listen to audio of &lt;a href="http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0609/S00407.htm" rel="nofollow"&gt;Kevin List On Radio Active: Man Named Chuck&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>Hello New Zeal, 

I had a strong feeling you were still around and would be back. Good to see that. 

On this post, I am suprised the Herald could not fill up space so had to write something as pathetic as this. 

Unless ... they are doing a favor for someone else. 

Anyhow, publiclity is publicity.</description>

		<description>Kent,
&lt;blockquote&gt;Being associated with very public displays of frightening women and small children does not help MENZ’s cause let alone help to create immunity against being smeared.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

The Fathers Coalition has not frightened any woman or child when it has been out bothering on behalf parents enduring misery that players of Family Court inflict without conscience.

Our recordings of the protests confirm this and refute this further spin put out by certain lawyers and patrners.
It has been the protesters themselves that have been subjected to acts that could provide fright.

Do not "Surgenor" (the act of using mirrors and smoke to hoodwink judiciary) rather research properly the material available then you will be in a position to provide any alternative debate.

Kind Regards
Paul</description>
