Quite frankly, your posts are boring and non conducive to the group. Ahh... Funny. I could say the same thing about you! Ever notice how this is cross-posted to 4 different groups? I'm not sure if anyone really cares much about the other groups they aren't part of, but isn't this one of the many joys of trolls, cross posting and things you just don't give a damn about? -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet? |

Cut out the condescension and the cleverly-worded name-calling and go to your corners. But bossman ... I was just having a conversation until I got the 'angry man' and whatnot comments. Actually, rj, I disagree with you. The line that I draw is that once the line has been crossed, then the rules go out. What did Leonard McCoy say to John Wayne? "Rules? Who ever heard of rules in a knife fight." Rambler Offhand, I don't remember who said it, but from memory someone talking about such potentially deadly conflicts said something along the lines of "The first rule is that there are no rules." However, I can't be bothered to look it up at present. Perhaps someone else knows the source. Regards, "Nilkids" An ancient American, in Australia, who is reachable on "alt.support.childfree", the only group of the above that he follows. Perhaps I should change my nickname to "Old Yank Geezer Nilkids" ? Of course, this would result in a chorus of complaints of the people on this "alt.support.childfree" who have me killfiled. It might take a few seconds of their precious and valuable time, you know! I have been sorely tempted to ask the people on "alt.support.childfree" to give the world an estimate of what they consider their "time" worth per minute, but so far I have resisted the temptation. :-) Incidentally, I have not killfiled anyone on "alt.support.childfree", I read all posts on the group and often comment on them. If any psychologist on any of the above crossposted groups wants to see some examples of "denial", or "delusions of reference" or outright "paranoid" and/or "psychopathic" behaviour symptoms or syndromes they should really make an effort to follow the group. However, I wouldn't advise that anyone use a genuine name or email address when doing so, as some on this supposedly "support" group have openly admitted that it is a "shark tank" and those of us who know what sharks can be like should take this as a warning. At the moment, am not willing to give an e-mail address to everyone, and it is only a mail address anyway, which I will cheerfully abandon if I start getting spam on it. If people who want to contact me by email wish to post on alt.support.childfree with a contactable address, I will consider contacting them via email. However, I won't promise to do so. Depends on my evaluation of them. :-) Regards, "Nilkids" |

Must be really convenient to be able to dismiss anything that contradicts you as '****ing and moaning.' A simple explanation for a simple mind. Gee, I see a lot of people on usenet using that excuse, especially on a group such as alt.support.childfree which is the only one of the above groups that I follow. Amusing. Now I can see why people come out against women. Were the two of you my experience with women, I would certainly understand how men would want nothing to do with them. Thank goodness my experience has been with the intelligent variety. Um, well, actually, there are quite a few intelligent women, even in the US population. For intelligent men, the main problem, IMHO, is to find and marry an equally intelligent woman. From my point of view, why should _any_ intelligent man seek a less intelligent partner unless he is insecure in some way. Of course, until comparatively recently, women in the USA were not encouraged to be "intelligent". They were encouraged to concentrate on physical attributes, such as "beauty", or "fashion"... or even the willingness to bear children. Intelligence was supposed to be carefully concealed! If any literate people want an earlier example of this, consider the character of "Scarlett O'Hara" in the classic book "Gone With the Wind". How many of the readers of this post have actually read the book, not just seen the movie? Note: Such a discussion should be completely "on topic" for "alt.support.childfree" but if any of the members of other groups are tempted to discuss the issue, it might be better to mark the post "OT" for "off topic" as some of the people on this group have elaborate and childish "delurking rituals" which new posters are supposed to follow for some arcane reason! One wonders why they try to post on an international newsgroup where opinions differ. Personally, I have suggested many times that if they are so extremely intolerant of the opinions of others that they either form a moderated newsgroup or even get the hell off international usenet altogether and form a closed email group! Would you agree, Geoff? I am an American, in Australia, posting from and reading on only one of the above groups: "alt.support.childfree" which, in my estimation so far is much more of a "shark group" or even a "hate group" than a "support group"! However, people from other groups are invited [possibly only by me] to follow it and form their own opinions. Continue ****ing and moaning. You cheapen all women in that way. I don't. I quite value women. Which is why have been married to one for decades now. As someone once said, "Women may not be much, but they are the best other human sex we have"...or something like that anyway! Does anyone else in the world find it amazing that there is still so much apparent disagreement and outright hatred between male and female humans, even though they may be of the same race and nationality? However, as the TV ads sometimes state, "Wait! There is more!" On "alt.support.childfree" if you are male in both sex and gender you will be accused of being otherwise! Amazing, isn't it? But you don't even have to be American or even live in the USA to play! No matter who you are, there are really some people on this group who will refuse to accept your stated sex and gender! As amazing as it seems, they will call you a liar! Try it and see! Invite your friends to try this extremely unusual group. From what I have seen so far, pretty close to a "flat earth group" My wife and I are "child free" by mutual agreement, but if any reader of this message wishes to be accused of being somehow aberrant in sex or gender, they only need to post a few messages here to see for themselves! An American in Australia, male in both sex and gender, and obviously refuse to lie about either. Unlike some others on the group who apparently wish to play childish games and wish to tell lies. However, of the of the above groups am only reading "alt.support.childfree", Anyone interested in my posts can follow the group and post on it. I will try to answer any crossposts that I consider worth answering. Am a bit sorry for those on alt.support.childfree who don't seem to be able to make their choice on such issues as sex, gender, religion, and so on. However, IMHO, all these are a matter of "free choice"! Regards, "Nilkids" [snip, see original] |

Must be really convenient to be able to dismiss anything that contradicts you as '****ing and moaning.' A simple explanation for a simple mind. But Rambler, this is a characteristic of todays femminists! If you disagree with them, you are dismissed as either insignificant or irrelevant. If you do not "go away", then you are labeled a misogynist. Definition of misogynist: Any man who is winning an arguement with a woman. Warren Farrell makes a distinction in Femminists. There is the "Mature" feminist that seeks true equality and balance between men and women (very uncomon), and the "Immature" femminist - generally wanting superiority for women, and who are quite happy to man-bash (all too common). What I have seen in this thread was no surprize. That is why I simply "refused to play". You cannot "win" an arguement with such people. When other parties to a conversation are not willing to consider other points of view, and simply shut out other possibilities, then you can't even approach concensus, or anything meaningful. So the discussion reverts into a childlike state where nothing is accomplished. I have met a number of "femminists", and I must say that most fo them have a very deep hatered in them. The hate is commonly directed at men. I have NOT been able to determine why this hatered exists, but it seems to me that men are being used as scape goats for the hate. I think most of them foolish because if men disappeared tomorrow, their hate would still be there! By bashing men, they damage much and solve nothing. The actions of subverting and oppressing men are simply used as a quick fix. It feels good at the time, but it does not last long, and it solves nothing. Don't sweat it bro! Let'em have their "fun". They don't have a clue, and we are not going to change that - at least not today. They make their own beds, and will have to lay in them - more than likely ALONE. The sad thing is that this just fuels the anger that they feel towards men! which just makes the situation worse. Amusing. Now I can see why people come out against women. Were the two of you my experience with women, I would certainly understand how men would want nothing to do with them. Thank goodness my experience has been with the intelligent variety. Continue ****ing and moaning. You cheapen all women in that way. Rambler V Interesting ... the very first girl I had a crush on was a V ... Verity in fact. Shudder to think that you all are one and the same. |

Very nice information to have. Do you have a link to these stats?
Thanks "Rambler" wrote in message ... xkatx wrote: "Rambler" wrote in message ... Father of the Year wrote: new to group. What is a deadbeat dad? it is usually somebody who has been flailed to a ninch of their life by being accused of being insensitive to their child's needs while in fact they are struggling to put food on the table for themselves whilest being commanded to make good sized (for their incomes) support payments. No, not always. That sure might be the case sometimes, but other times a deadbeat parent could be just that. Sometimes a deadbeat parent just doesn't feel they need to live up to their parenting responsibilities. That's not always meaning money wise. I would consider a deadbeat parent as someone who just does nothing. I'm sorry, it doesn't take much money to spend some time with your own child and show them love and that they are, in fact, a human being. There's a lot of 'parents' - both mothers AND fathers - who just don't give a damn. It goes both ways, but it seems that you just hear about the dads more than the moms. There's selfish parents both ways, and it's not fair to say that every parent who cannot afford to support their children is a deadbeat. It does go so much further than that, because there's also lots of parents who choose not to help with their children and have more than enough means to survive well, while helping out financially with their children. Support payments are only a part of a child's needs. I typically refer to it as "Beat Dad Dead" in my affidavits, and yes, the ex has thrown that term around to everybody, kids included. I don't agree with that. I, personally, believe whatever I think and feel negatively about my ex stays to myself, or to the ears of MY friends/family without the ears of my children around. I have never once said a single negative word about my sons' father for them to hear, nor have I ever said anything negative to someone who would pass my words on to them. There are a lot of parents, as well, who do the same, and then on the other hand, there are some who have no problem insulting their child's other parent and vocalize whatever anger they may have. I do believe, in every way possible, that this is so wrong and unfair to the child, even more to the other half of that child. Always two sides to a coin. My ex would evidently be the opposite side of the coin to you. but leaving you and me out of it, the studies that I have heard of and read indicate that a very small minority of fathers don't pay the child support ordered when they fully have the means to. The vast majority of no-payors are those that cannot afford it due to either unemployment, health or an order being set outside of their earning potential. Those that pay what they can *are still* labeled deadbeat dads. Flip that around a second, not according to you and me, but according again to the studies I have read and heard of. The vast majority (89%?) of custody decisions go to mothers, which means the vast majority (89%) of child maintenance payors are fathers. Out of the 11% of mothers who are supposed to be paying child support, a much greater number (over 30% comes to mind) are "dead beat Mom's" than are the fathers (1 to 2%) who are "dead beat Dads," yet you don't hear the phrase "Dead Beat Mom" do you? But those are just the studies. Rambler |
