School boys rally to save teacher

NZ Herald By Chloe Johnson There is some focus on negatives. Sometimes I do wonder if men’s lives are valued less than women’s? Maybe I am just trying to delude myself? Please notice that some of his most active benefactors were women….

The Connecticut school serial killer moved to live with his mum after the divorce, 3 years ago

Sun 16th December 2012:

Am I the only person NOT surprised to find that Adam Lanzra, who killed his mum and then killed 26 other victims (20 young children), experienced divorce 3 years ago, then moved to live with his mum that took him out from school for home-schooling. They were financially stable after the divorce, read the article […]

Feminazi Industry Identify Another Funding Source

Sun 25th November 2012:

Schoolgirls’ binge drinking shame I’ll leave you to read the article, but apparently schoolgirl binge drinking is now so bad that it’s starting to exceed school boy binge drinking. So what? Well now we get our femifolk calling on government action, because it’s girls that are affected!

25% chance of being a victim of Domestic Violence Crimes!

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/7994731/Family-violence-at-horrendous-levels Yay! Domestic Violence is New Zealand’s growth industry! Women and children have a 25% chance of being injured, killed, assaulted or abducted in DV incidents in New Zealand!

Safety of Children

Fri 23rd November 2012:

Robert Whiston has republished a comparison of child safety in married families and other types of families. There is quite a lot of public debate, where advocates present partial and misleading statistics. In my opinion, Robert has quoted the most credible international sources available. Cheers, MurrayBacon.

Masculine Empire by Peter Adams – Book Launch

Judging by the list of organisations supporting this book, I doubt that it is intended as an instruction manual, so don’t get too excited. If keeping women in line was as easy as the White Ribbon hate campaign insists, I’m sure our society would be very different from the way it is! I’ll read and […]

There is an internet encyclopaedia which offers well written information about early childhood development: ENCYCLOPEDIA on Early Childhood Development http://www.child-encyclopedia.com/en-ca/home.html Parents aiming for shared parenting will usually benefit from a better understanding of child development.

Accountability that was never really intended to work !

Tue 6th November 2012:

Examples of Working Accountability NZ Parliamentarians are required to register the nature of their assets. The public may use this to investigate possible conflicts of interest.

Ireland to adopt “the best interest of the child” Dogma

Mon 5th November 2012:

Interesting article from Ireland. At issue is a referendum that would redefine the role of government in helping children the government determines may be in need of assistance.

On the run in OZ? Dunne’s hit squad is coming for you!

Hit squad targets parents on run in Oz That’s right. Track you down; seize your assets, seize your partner’s assets. Seize your house (who needs a place for the kids to sleep when they come to stay?). House arrest in the country of your choice. You can’t escape me! You can’t outrun me! I’m Peter […]

Should I hug my daughter in public?

Sat 3rd November 2012:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/7903165/Loving-dads-year-of-torment This is just sick. Wtf has our society come to? This is anti-male bias at it’s best – or worst, which ever way you look at it.
