Clampers is a card carrying member of the “What can I outraged about today club”, which consists of his fellow angry white males looking for some way the women are being “advantaged” over men.
You said “white” LOL! Bringing race into it…. pffft
realPolithicks
You constantly seek to change the narrative whenever you’re challanged on your views. As you well know the phrase “angry white male” is a way of describing a particular type of older conservative male who holds negative views on areas such as feminism. They are your views, often expressed on this site, you should own them.
Not at all. You are entitled to your opinion. And I can laugh off your opinion, as is my choice. Have a nice day :)
realPolithicks
You didn’t laugh it off though you accused me of bringing race into it which is an entirely different thing but thats just what you do. You consistently make outrageous claims on the flimsiest of “evidence” then when challenged you either refuse to engage or accuse your challenger of saying things which they didn’t say.
Bernie
You may have had the privilege of being brought up by two decent parents, many did not or do not enjoy that privilege. There’s nothing wrong with honouring the person that has been a constant in your life, nothing at all.
Married life must be a fkn joy Clampers, keep chewing the wasps ;-)
It’s a nonsense. What about the many decent men who are Dads, and denied access to their kids, any consideration for them…. clearly not.
Bernie
What about the ones that pay sod all maintenance or the ones that abandon their children?
Can’t understand why this bothers you if it doesn’t affect you.
My ex-husband’s sister died at 29, her children used to make their father cards on Mother’s Day at school so that they weren’t left out in class, what’s wrong with that?
On the second bit, it’s cute, which is different to a card company manufacturing a product for profit that will upset those already under emotional distress, including suicidality, due an also well documented, biased courts system. It is selfish, and I would not encourage anyone to buy these for these reasons.
As a volunteer with a domestic abuse services provider I am very much aware of this distress, and one need not have experienced the issue in order to feel empathy for those in these situations.
harrypalmer
Yes Bernie and that is the same attitude that led to the Irish mother and babies homes etc .
Many single fathers were barred from any chance of their children by their ex partners who used spite backed up to the hilt by the state and its agents
I know many cases that would tear your heart out
And what when the kids grow up ?
Bernie
Harrypalmer (dave) you’re like a persistent boil on someone’s rear end, you may as well stick to the one name, you’re fooling no-one.
You’ve gone off on a tangent, no shock there. I have every sympathy for any decent father that is being prevented from seeing his children, nobody is saying all absent fathers are bad,
however, there are plenty that repeatedly disappoint their children by not showing up and many that use the time they have with them to manipulate them.
Maintaining the father/child relationship is so important, spite does get in the way which is wrong.
What I have said is nothing to do with Irish mother and baby homes or the Jews or Hitler, keep trying though, I’m sure you’ll raise a row with someone today to keep you ticking over.
Neither you or Clampers, afaik, are parents so don’t know the first thing about the complexities of being a parent never mind a single parent.
Cards for everyone for every occasion, spread the love xxx
mildred st meadowlark
Some good points you’re making there Bernie.
Bernie
Thanks Mildred.
harrypalmer
I think you have gone off on a tangent ,especially the boil comment which is pretty petty.
Yes there are bad parents bad mothers and bad fathers but for years the family courts have always sided with the mother, no matter what.
It is beginning to change now.
I am fortunate to be in a loving relationship and not blessed with children
I find you quite one sided ,and closed hence the remark
Just think of the remark and where things lead by denying rights
Courts are and have always been on the mothers side and many fathers good men have been victims of courts weighed in the mothers favour, its a fact of life and as you say a parent can manipulate a child which is not just men but women as well
And many men loose all contact with their children when the expartner moves on and decides daddy can complicate said relationships.
and when relationships break down people get angry and the children can be used as pawns.
Remember not all men are bastards but up to a few years ago the courts took that position
SOQ
No, petty is changing your name with your underwear, which in your case is about once a month.
“And pitching out of the far left corner… ”

“Children will have the right to pick gender from 16” – the world is totally fupped and bat sheet crazy.
Meat being found in vegan ready meals – priceless!
Topsy
Absolutely – pick your sex at sixteen. Jesus wept.
Hank
To be honest, at sixteen, any sex at all would have done me..
Topsy
Mostly ‘selfies’ at that age.
harrypalmer
Yep especially as the child is not emotionally mature at that age
But hey lets get on with it
SOQ
So at what age should you be ‘allowed’ to pick your sexuality then? I knew I was gay at about 8 btw.
Nigel
I know! People keep going hog wild about other people’s private medical problems and decisions! It’s feckin’ weird!
realPolithicks
Nigel, these clowns are constantly worked up and upset about things that don’t impact them in any way. Its baffling.
Nigel
We literally just repealed a whole constitutional amendment devoted to the principle of interfering in other people’s medical business can’t they take a feckin hint.
harrypalmer
Nigel
Laws are there to protect
Sometimes they are abused that’s life
I would not say sexuality is a medical problem
There is emotional aspects to all sexuality and its a case of how mature a person is before they choose their sexuality
Now lets stretch it to a person who decides they want an operations to change their sex at 16
That includes removing a certain part of the male genitalia
Once this is done its irreversible
Supposing that now woman decides to change their mind post op
Many things shape our sexuality
And that is my point
People can be what they want ,I have no problem with that but at an age where they are emotionally mature to realise what path they choose
I think 21 would be a better age
Nigel
Well just be sure to get the doctors to consult you and let you see the relevant private and confidential case history so they can get your important and considered expert opinion on the matter so that the relevant person can make an informed and mature decision with your vital input into the correct course for their condition.
SOQ
This is not an issue of sexuality. Read up on gender dysphoria before you comment you absolute clown.
Nigel
I’d say confusing sexuality with gender is all the more reason to allow this person a say over the life decisions of complete strangers.
SOQ
I am very bored with this over educated traffic cone.

the New York Times (NYT) has a brief overview off a telecommunications company, in the news lately.
“It will also need to confront deeper questions about its way of doing business, which has left a trail of accusations of bribery, overbilling and rule-breaking.”
even issues a condemning statement, yikes they biggest in world.
“In response to these and other cases, Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, one of the world’s largest, said in 2016 that it would exclude ZTE from its investments. The fund’s ethics council said there was “an unacceptable risk that ZTE has been involved in gross corruption and that the company may again become involved in similar practices.”
perhaps the irish media will inform the public a bit more about ZTE-Digicel’s critical partner.
Morning Frilly, sure, he could be up for any reason. Myself, my alarm went off at 4.15, and am now on my second bus heading to a 10am meeting in the midlands.
The good side of that… seeing the morning mist across the fields as the sun came up :)

He definitely has a hard on for redacted and all redacted connections

-travel frilly-NY/LA/Dub-wtached game 4 NBA finals (on TV) then read NYT online, piece on ZTE caught my eye
-my world involves companies like Digi,IPO hit my desk and since then I’ve been keeping a eye on it and its mission critical infrastructure/equipment partners
-I think the irish MSM does extremely poor job reporting on irelands ‘richest’ man and his partners-its really that simple!
-as Freud said somethings a cigar is just a cigar :)
Lilly
That’s fair enough, someone has to keep an eye on him. MSM is terrified of touching him after the late Paul Drury’s experience, for example. I noticed last Sunday, Marian doing her run through the newspapers and she completely ignored the piece about Digicel on the SBP masthead.
johnny
-hamptons Lilly,its the weekend shur who’d be in the city on them, surfs up and its almost 6 am, time wax the board:)
-no skin in game with redacted,simply a concerned citizen who thinks the irish media has been cowed into submission by his litigious streak and the really poor irish libel laws.

Is there much wave off the Hamptons Johnny?
When yer done cleaning off your board
And hosing down your wets etc
ditch plains-Montauk-has best break on east coast but is crawling these days with hipsters, its fecking dangerous surfing there after sunsrise,lighthouse off Montauk also has a great break-speaking off which time finish my coffee!
and thats why Frilly I choose post bits and pieces affecting irelands ‘richest’ man on here!
Lilly
Hamptons, nice. I’m sitting here trying to will myself to steam-clean the floors. Is the Village Cheese still In Southampton? Door stopper sandwiches, check it out when you’re finished surfing.
Oh I’ve just noticed you’re in Montauk. Never mind. Some friends spent a summer working in the diner there way back. Good tips.
Lilly
Hey Frilly, you like foodie programs, were you a fan of Anthony Bourdain?
johnny
its still there Lilly,South is where Wilbur Ross summers and is very waspy,he’s the commerce sectary that signed the agreement with ZTE,giving them just enough oxygen to breathe.
good luck with the steamer,make everyone take their shoes off, thats why I do!
Hi Lill
At first I was more taken back with a 2nd High Profile NY sucide
But to answer your question
I wasn’t much of a follower tbh
Although that might have been influenced by his knocking around with that crack burd lad
But I did appreciate his advocacy for proper butter
And that’s what I’ll remember him for
And
Ah here Johnny
Hamptons
Montauk
Lah dee dah
We’re making do with East Coast caravan sites here
Lay’ve us be would ya
Lilly
Proper butter, man after my own heart. Yes, Kate Spade. I fancied one of her candy-striped handbags once but didn’t get it.
I doubt all suicides are as a result of depression. (Hers was apparently.) Our life expectancy has doubled in 200 years; sometimes I think people just get jaded. Or act on impulse.
We often hear of complaints that male domestic abusers are painted as pillars of society, and yet here’s one story where the main thrust is how a woman who stabbed her boyfriend is painted in such a way.
The piece bemoans and is sympathetic to the attackers possible loss of the potential to become a surgeon.
And it doesn’t end there.
Of course, I believe painting any abuser as a pillar of society is wrong.
My point is that it occurs with stories of abusers of either gender.

True. Sadly there are not enough powerful champions of the father’s rights and cases. Bob Geldof – maybe – but we’re stuck with John Waters and those Fathers for Justice loolahs, who can’t fight the vagenda in Family Law.

Is there a difference of complaints where the father has sole custody or same set parents split?
My point is that parent rights are usually separate to gender politics.
