		<description>According to Otago University,it costs $40 a week for food for a ten year old.
Being rather liberal here,electricity would cost $10 a week per child.
Clothing -$10 a week.
Schooling- $20 a week.
Pocket money -$10 a week.
Sports and recreation- nil if a ten year old is already obese.
Health care-$10 a week.
That comes to a total of $100 a week.
Now both parents are supposed to contribute equally financially,towards their child's support,or so I thought.
My figures add up to $50 a week for each parents costs of financially  supporting a ten year old child.
The emotional support will naturally be charged on how much it costs to support an ex wife's life style.</description>

		<description>My new years resolution.
I hate my husband's ex so much for all the grief she has caused us.But in allowing myself to feel this way,she automatically becomes the 'winner'.
I have often thought that if a bus was to run over her,there would still be body parts sticking out at all angles because she is so obese.
It's a new year tomorrow and I have decided to relax a bit more and let karma be the judge and jury from now on.</description>

		<description>Regarding the fertility associates page, men own the copyright to their own DNA. Anyone want to use it, they pay royalties to the man for the lifetime of the offspring. Sounds ridiculous eh? But think on it.

I make the point that all these ridiculous PC laws apply to the lawmakers as well. These riduculous laws should be used by decent people to refute those who interfere in our daily lives. Why don't we start applying ALL the laws to them as well. There are so many laws in this country and many of them are in conflict with each other. The point must be made - WHICH laws are we to abide by and WHICH laws are to be disregarded? These laws can and should be used for our own protection and well-being as well. It is past time in this country for men to refuse to tolerate BS and make a stand ***for themselves*** regardless of the consequences.

Regarding politicians who deliberately pass laws clearly based on false ideals, ie anti-smacking legislation, the message must be persistent, direct and clear to them: 'You don't fool anyone, you know what you're doing, you're deliberately working against the families, no-one is that ignorant, Do as you're bloody well told!'

Just to correct a serious error in society attitudes. 'The children are the most important members of a family'. Women say that. 'The mother is the most important in a child's life'. Women say that. 'Children may be aborted without the father's knowledge or consent because it's a woman's right to choose'. Women say that. 'Women can do anything'. Women say that. 'Hell hath no fury like a women scorned'. Women say that. Where do men come in in those arguments? Society wants to change the rules at the expense of men? Nobody asked the men. I say they damned well should. Women may well do as they please, but not at a man's expense and self-respect.

I remember a story, may be true but illustrates the point.

A woman laden with shopping and parcels gets on a crowded bus. A man is sitting in the front seat. She looks at him and asks very loudly, 'Well aren't you going to offer me your seat?' He asked her, 'Do you believe in women's lib?' 'Certainly!' she replied. 'Well stand like a man!' he told her.

I suggest that is the legacy that women have made for themselves with their self-worshiping feminism. Most right thinking men show respect to anyone as is proper and that should be acknowledged, but the patronising, disrespectful demands made by these haughty self-important types should be treated with the direct response it deserves. We have the right to act with dignity, forthrightness, self respect and integrity in spite of false allegations and snide innuendo portrayed by the media. Who made woman the final authority on who we are? Who must we ask permission of before we speak of right and wrong? Damn it, we're men and no apology is needed for that.

Congratulations and respect to the men who are hanging in and doing what's right by themselves and their situation.</description>

		<description>I live in Wellington and the family court/lawyer is in Porirua, if you do not choose a local lawyer, then you will be paying loads in travelling costs, so it is really better if you find a local one who is male friendly. </description>
