Muslim Women in the West

Sat 12th May 2007:

I came across this short excerpt from a news article. Interesting isn’t it that while fundamentalist religious beliefs are said to be at fault no mention is made of these women’s readiness to misrepresent themselves fraudulently and deliberately. As women of course they are the victims and their behaviour must never be criticized. Hans Excerpt […]

Patrick Moore Critical of BBC Women

Interesting article on the Times reporting the well-known British astronomer Patrick Moore. He’s critical of the corporation’s decline in good television, and blames the women who now manage it. What catches the attention (well, mine anyway) is the volume of comments posted in response – from men and women alike, mostly agreeing with him, some […]

Paul’s News is back!

Tue 8th May 2007:

Many of you will have noticed that Paul’s News, an e-mail list for discussing fathers’ issues and related topics, appears to have disappeared.

Section 59

Sat 5th May 2007:

A fast end to a lame duck has ended up as a lame end with a fast duck. The burning question: why did Key and Clark compromise? The answer is a little simpler than the amazing revelations that have arisen this week. If section 59 had been repealed, which is what H1 WANTED, pursuant to […]

John Keys and Bill English, Batman and Robin?

These guys are being held in high regard in NZ at the moment because they are stepping up with not just a voice in disagreement but in offering tactful strategic solutions to some of New Zealand’s problems like business, education, roading and others that I haven’t mentioned and of course the “No Smacking Bill” which […]

Nicola Alison May

In case you’re not aware, Nicola May is the woman who made a false rape allegation last month. For 3 days the police of South Auckland were hunting for a rapist who didn’t exist. For those 3 days, all of us were under suspicion. The measures she took to be believed were cynical and extreme, […]

Simon Mitchell.

Tue 1st May 2007:

Simon Mitchell. Some people do have more than a burning desire to be a Labour Party stooge and they forget who they really are, lost in their illusion. Little minded lawyers from the home of the lazy and the incompetent. They become criminal lawyers not by their legitimate efforts, but by their illegal efforts. They […]

Judith Collins at it again.

Mon 23rd April 2007:

Judge Judy is at it again and shes more determined than ever to make IRD the judge, jury and executioner who can arrest you at the border. Like a pit-bull in need of a muzzle, Judge Judy has maintained the same position for years. Its not something new to see a National MP wanting legislation […]

To all the five percenters — the rest of us have had enough! Get Over It! Whats a Five percenter? It’s that five percent of men who act like absolute wankers when a separation occurs.

In his speech to the Salvation Army yesterday, Mr Key told how he sees domestic violence… ? “The trials (Louise Nicholas) throw light on a pattern of behaviour and an attitude towards women which persists in this country. Domestic violence is the disgraceful secret of some otherwise successful men, and is the sorry burden of […]
