Poirot, I just wish Lexi would respond to a thread with something other than non-sequitur and personal anecdote, interspersed with expressions of wounded pride.

It's tiresome and doesn't lead to good discussions.

The Family Violence Bill has been postponed in the Senate. There are only 2 more sitting weeks this year. This presents possibilities. The public is blissfully unaware of the consequences of these "Hate Men" laws while Gay marriage, a strategic component in the far socialist/feminist extremist attack on family, is saturating the media.

I managed to get a "bigger picture" comment published in the Daily Telegraph in response to Miranda Devine's op-ed on Gay militantism & intimidation tactics - "Call off the thought police"
http://blogs.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/mirandadevine/index.php/dailytelegraph/comments/call_off_the_thought_police/P0/

Gay marriage with inevitable adoption rights, the removal of parental gender from passports, the legal erasing of a father's name from the child birth certificate, the family violence amendments which guarantee sole maternal custody all portend to one of the most destructive (and successful) strategies of the socialist/feminist Left in recent years: the exploitation of children as political weapons. How often have we heard the Gillard mantra “for our children” – when she has no children.

Children have become the levers by which one forces social change. This understanding underlies the militancy of the gay rights agenda.

Conservatives and Christians who allow their attention to be monopolized by carbon tax and government financial management and leave family policy to socialists from the Australian Lesbian Party will discover only once it is too late the power of “the hand that rocks the cradle.”

Rebutted by FundamentalistAtheist replied to howardBeale

"‘The proposed changes were welcomed last night by former Family Court chief judge Alastair Nicholson, who said they were long overdue.
The changes, which are directed at cases involving abusive parents, elevate the safety of children to the top priority in custody disputes
He said the Howard government’s changes to the Family Law Act had not been thought through. “There was too much sound and fury and not enough proper analysis,” he said.’ (The Australian)

Decent and loving parents will lose their kids..wrong! It is about violence toward children. The evidence is considered by a Judge will determine outcomes.

‘....Leave family policy to socialists from the Australian Lesbian Party...’? Really? I don’t think so."

Dear Poirot,

I wish that Antiseptic would just once not turn
overything into a gender war and when people
disagree with his opinion make things personal.
It is not only tiresome - but boring. Have you
seen his latest thread - another attack on guess
what? a female, our Prime Minister. No mention of the
incompetence of Mr Abbott and Co. (or any other male). -
And,
All of his threads usually turn
out to be attacks on females in one form or another.
Take a look at his posts on the other threads...
It would be so refreshing to just
once have him say something positive about
famales. How can anyone have a discussion with a
person who doesn't want to discuss - but wants to
argue, and doesn't respect your opinion, and gets
insulting. Then blames you for not wanting to talk
to him. As the saying goes - you can't keep doing
what you're doing - and expect different results.

Lexi:"blames you for not wanting to talk
to him"

You're perfectly welcome not to talk to me. It would be infinitely preferable to the dribble that you're serving up at the moment.

Antiseptic,

I would actually love to have a serious heart-to heart.
But I suspect that I'd first have to tear down the wall
that you've
built around yourself - and at present I'm too tired
to try. Perhaps sometime down the track we can meet
meet each other half-way and start afresh.
Until then ...
