		<description>Yeah, but! If there were any men in Quebec, they would sue the Department Provincial des Biches under hate crime legislation, and multiple Charter violations.

Since there obviously ain't, and they don't, what can the rest of Canada do, aside from fore-arm against it in their own jurisdictions?

Of course, I know from personal experience that the decisions of judges bear very little semblance even to the word "judicious", so the number of convictions recorded is also irrelevant. It would have to be weighted against expediency, political pandering, and outright judicial corruption.</description>

		<description>I feel this is a very valuable article (especially with the links to the sources making it credible).

Some of these myths I didn't realise were incorrect so I've learnt something valuable here. 

Thank you

All the best</description>

		<description>Stop VAWA based immigration fraud! The majority of VAWA cases are simply fraud perpetuated by dishonest residency seekers and organizations who benefit from the Billion in funding. Immigration fruad is a lucrative business which also harms the economy and American citizens.

I was confronted by Sergeant John Bandemer of the Saint Paul Police ( Vice and Human Trafficking Unit) department for speaking out about immigration fraud. He only seemed concerned about the funding his department receives from a pro-immigrant and feminist group called the Civil Society via programs such as VAWA. 

Police departments are clearly better funded by arresting law abiding fathers in favor of dishonest immigrants who may be perusing VAWA based immigration fraud. That’s my opinion and the way I see things.</description>

		<title>Comment on Funding to gain political power by Walter Schneider</title>

		<description>Those who don't learn from history will be condemned to repeat it.

History repeats itself because the current generation refuses to read the minutes of the last meeting.

History tells us from where we came and where we are going.  It tells us about actions and consequences.  It tells us not only whether we are making progress and how far we have come, it tells us whether we are going into the right direction.

History is therefore a threat to all totalitarian regimes, as it clearly shows all of their flaws and the consequences of every single wrong decision made by a given totalitarian regime.  For that reason all totalitarian regimes prohibit the teaching of history or at best permit only the teaching of versions that are constantly tailored and manipulated so that they will show a given totalitarian regime to be on the right path.

History is no longer taught in the elementary and grammar schools of Canada or in those of many other nations in the "free" West.

Any nation that no longer teaches honest and true history forgets from where it came. It will therefore be on a random path to self-destruction and oblivion.  That is because it will not be able to determine which change in direction that it takes in reacting to each event in the never-ending succession of unexpected catastrophes it tries to escape from will prove to be the best.  The fatal end of that nation will come as a total surprise to the vast majority of its people who will bear the cost of their own destruction.</description>

		<description>I think what we need here is a violent sex offender registry for women.  The police should be ordered to go from door-to-door, advising the whole city when a woman such as this moves into a new neighborhood, and the exact nature of her crimes.

The real wonder is that this story was reported at all, but it's likely that many women find it titillating, if you'll pardon the phrase.</description>

		<description>I have come to the belief that this confounding contradiction of sensible understanding is strongly suggestive of complicity in the Josef Stalin style destruction of the family.

Granted, in today's secular society, the bishops are clutching at straws to seem relevant to the bureaucratic "in-crowd", but if I couldn't ascribe some kind of rationale, however weak, for their action in this, I would be forced to conclude that they were simply morons.</description>

		<title>Comment on Not guilty by reason of insanity, and all is well by David Millar</title>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;It is clear that the history of insanity should be expanded to include the formal investiture of the insane into the judiciary.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is also just another example of judges cutting Parliament's grass.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The judiciary considers itself a world above the people it purports to rule. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If they want to get so "modern" with their "laws" it would be "wise" of them to disqualify themselves as incompetent of jurisdiction.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Walter,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Would you please inform your readers about this study being conducted in the US ? Thanks, Jan&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Men's Experiences with Partner Aggression Project is a research study at Clark University and is funded by the National Institute of Mental Health.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Denise A. Hines, Ph.D., Clark University Department of Psychology, is the lead researcher on this project. She is conducting this project in conjunction with Emily M. Douglas, Ph.D., Bridgewater State College Department of Social Work, the Survey Center at the University of Southern Maine, and the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Our goal is to better understand the experiences of men who are in relationships with women who use violence. Extensive research has shown that men are at risk for sustaining partner violence in their relationships, yet few studies have investigated their experiences, and there are few resources available to such men. This is an under-recognized problem in the United States, and by conducting this research project, we hope to provide much needed information on these men, their relationships,and their needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you are a man between the ages of 18 and 59 and you have been physically assaulted at least one time in the last 12 months by a current or former intimate female partner you may be eligible to participate in this study. If you are interested in participating, please call the DAHMW at 1-888-743-5754 or email &lt;a href="mailto:dahmwagency@gmail.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;dahmwagency@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; for information about the study and directions for participating. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

		<title>Comment on New Evidence of Liberal Media Bias by Walter Schneider</title>
		<link>http://blog.fathersforlife.org/2008/01/06/new-evidence-of-lberal-media-bias/#comment-4248</link>

		<description>It is too bad that I was a bit hasty in posting the blog entry to which this comment pertains.  I should first have taken much more time to read the AIM commentary more carefully.

It is necessary to consider what the AIM report on media bias actually reported on.  The AIM study of media bias in fact did not examine media bias but nothing more than the existence of the perception by politically-partisan individuals as to whether they **perceive** a given news source to be biased.

The AIM report on media bias did not objectively examine whether media bias actually exists and the study it reports on was not designed to do that.  AIM justifies that by asserting that "perception is reality".  That assertion is in itself a corner stone of liberal dogma.  However, it is a false assertion.

Although, as AIM did in the subject article, it can justifiably be argued that perceptions influence reality, perceptions cannot be substituted for or exchanged with reality.  Regardless of any liberal claims to the contrary, perceptions *are not* reality.  To argue otherwise is comparable to claiming that rain is earth and that earth is rain, while the hard, objective and true reality is that rain can turn earth to mud, and that media bias (whether it is being perceived or not) will muddy the waters of reporting the truth.

Rain will without a doubt influence the condition of the earth upon which it falls, but it will never be earth, not even muddy earth.  The relationship between the aspects of perceptions and the aspects of media bias is much the same.  Perceptions create media bias and thereby muddy the waters of truthful news reporting.

The title of the AIM article, "NEW EVIDENCE OF LIBERAL MEDIA BIAS", is wrong and seriously misleading.  The title should have been written to read: "New evidence of the existence of the perception of liberal media bias," because that is all that AIM studied and reported on.

It is too bad that the AIM report did not examine the existence of media bias and studied instead whether people perceive the media to be biased.  Let's hope that AIM will instead soon study the real thing, media bias and the extent to which it causes media sources to deviate from the absolute truth.  That will do much, justifiably and necessarily so, to bolster the credibility of AIM.

By themselves, not even the perceptions of media bias are as important as is the extent of the gullibility of the public to having the wool pulled over its eyes.

The extent of the truth in reporting and the extent of the gullibility of the public to swallow lies can be judged correctly only by using the absolute truth as a measuring stick, to see how much of the absolute truth shows up in print or in the broadcast media and to see how many and what sort of lies the public can be made to swallow before it begins to object and to clamor for the truth.

		<title>Comment on Remembrance Day by Walter Schneider</title>

		<description>Hello David,

I am not sure what your remark "I don't know about this" refers to, but I do agree that affirmative-action hiring does not produces excellence.

It produces mediocrity, as the performance of the more capable individuals will be normalized down to the level of the lowest common denominator, the capabilities of women.  The lowering of the standards for entrance qualifications makes certain of that, enabling many women to join, women who would not be able to meet the higher entrance qualifications of male applicants.

There is a side-effect that aggravates things for male members of such an organization, by establishing for men to compensate in all sectors of their work, so as to allow and make up for the inability of women to perform tasks that their male colleagues have on average relatively fewer problems in meeting.

However, there is another problem for men that few women in any organization staffed by affirmative-action-hiring policies hesitate to take advantage of and that men gladly concede.  That is the conditioning of men and women through Western Chivalry: men to preserve and protect women, and women to be preserved and protected by men.  That means that men take the risks, and women will let men do that.

It seems to me, that is the major reason for the large discrepancies in male and female fatality rates in the service professions, as in all job fatalities for all professions.  Again, true and real equality for the sexes has made few if any advances.  Despite all feminist claims to the contrary, women are reluctant to and refuse to die like men.

As Marty Nemko states in "Men as Beasts of Burden", "There are five widows for every widower."</description>
