Wow - I'd be pretty pissed off too :/

 

[Scouse]

CSA in this country is a joke too. When's the actual "scrap date"?

I'm also totally behind "Fathers for Justice" and the like - the whole court system is biased against men in these sorts of cases. Who gives a fuck if they pull stupid stunts - how else are they supposed to get publicity?

 

[Fweddy]

When are you going to give me money for our imaginery children Wij?

 

[TdC]

omg it's Fweddy! where have you been hiding this past...year?

 

[Sharma]

And yet feminists call the system "Fair".

It's "Fair" when it suits them, otherwise the worlds against them.

 

[Wij]

When you've let me try for more !

 

[Fweddy]

Hey Teedles, I'm impressed you remember me

I think it's been longer than a year though. Life got a bit pooey for a while there but it seems to be getting back on track now, and so returns my like for talking to people! How's you?

 

[TdC]

I'm alright mate, cheers. Bit miffed about bf2142 being a pain but that's about it. What are you up to these days?

Don't like Fathers for Justice myself. Agree with the fact the system needs looked at etc, but don't agree with thier stunts.

I fail to see how some twat dressed as santa claus sitting upon the roof of the judge that precided over his case makes a fair point about the injustice fathers seek through the courts.

Funnily enough i noticed at the bottom of the article


"Wendy McElroy is the editor of ifeminists.com and a research fellow for The Independent Institute in Oakland, Calif. She is the author and editor of many books and articles, including the new book, "Liberty for Women: Freedom and Feminism in the 21st Century" (Ivan R. Dee/Independent Institute, 2002). She lives with her husband in Canada."

Thought that was quite interesting, i guess they are not all bad

A feminist who lives with a MAN?!?! Burn her!! Heretic!

 

[Fweddy]

What are you up to these days?

Still in Carlisle, still trying to get a degree and still chasing the wimmins. I've given up WoW and started playing Company of Heroes a bit, when I'm not doing all the millions of work I keep getting saddled with.

Wij, you can have as much imaginery sex as you want, just don't tell me about it and start sending money straight away.

Problem with Fathers for justice is alot of them are criminals and have good reason to be banned from seeing their children. They're not good men who have had a sexist deal. But yes the system does need to be looked at

Its not http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/breakfast/5208976.stm

ofc the new slimmed down agency will run a lot better and will be worth the money and stop prople dressing up as batman.

 

[FuzzyLogic]

Funnily enough, you have to find them first to get them to pay

It's unreal how many are willing to drop their houses/jobs and move to completely different areas to avoid paying for their own children.

do you have any other suggestions that would actually get some publicity?

Sexactly, its not like quietly protesting somewhere gets bugger all media attention these days, gotta have some violence/crime/extreme action to get any attention.

That depends on the crime. Going to jail for hitting a bloke in a pub is no reason to stop that man from seeing his children.

I'm in two minds about it tbh.

My mum brought me and my brother up as a single parent who rarely got any support from my dad, however my dad was never really chased up for the money.

On the other hand, a couple of years ago one of my uncles was being harrased by the CSA to pay support for his daughter, who was working, not in full time education, and not even living with her mother, whom he was "supposed" to be paying child support to.

There are two sides to every story I guess, you get the extreme cases like the one in the original post, but I would imagine that the majority of cases are far more complicated and less one sided.

In short, no I don't, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with the way in which they currently 'do things'.
