    I have to admit that in my experience it is the male NRPs who are the idiots and feckless ones.
    What an astonishly stupid statement!!!
    Thats like saying all muslims are terrorists or all priests are !!!!!philes.

    It seems to me that your own circumstances have clouded your judgement to the point of blindness to the real fundamental problems with system. You are taking the whole thing personally ratehr than giving it any rational thought.

    BTW...it was pretty weak of you to change earlier posts i responded to in a failed attempt to make yourself look less stupid.

    This money is not the 'childrens' money, it is money paid by the nrp to the pwc to go towards the upbringing and upkeep of the children!!!!!

    Of course its for their upkeep.
    When i said childrens money, i meant FOR THEM......was that a tough one or are you just stuffing a point down my throat in a 'half cut 40 something on the scrapheap' kind of way?

    I find this women rights movement here very amusing. There are some VERY lucky EX husbands out there.

    I made a perfectly sensible statement in reply to a statement that you made. Just because you are having a few problems in life, like most of us on these forums, there is no need to get STROPPY. There are a lot of PWC that are male as well as NRP's that are female. Basically if you dont like the comments made in reply to your comments and statements, why do you come on here?? (and if you have to stoop to making ageist and feminist comments then you are a bit sad really when all we want to do is help!!!)

    I think woody just likes an argument :rolleyes:

    His poor skills unfortunately do not do his arguments justice and he is not really bright enough to realise this :cool:

    Maybe one day he will understand terms such as strawman, ad hominin, argument from ignorance etc

    I suggest that he goes to the discussion time part of the board and reads people who actually are good at discussion and arguments and learns some things.

    As for me, I'm quite bored with him (can't find a good yawn smiley on here ;))

    We all have a different point of view, and in this country we are still at this time able to make the statmetn that we wish to. Let us all agree to disagree and in my case anyway grow old disgracfully, and embaris my kids for years to come!

    In the event that we dont agree on this point you may find that on teh next we all agree, I would like to ask that we all exersise a little tolerance of other points of view. Just a thought!

    Can you not comprehend that it is an extreme act of stupidity on your part assuming that you know someones background/education just through a forum?
    My employer thinks i am bright enough to pay me a good salary. :)
    My Msc papers also state otherwise.
    That way, i dont have to scrounge a living from an ex to pay my way like yourself.

    We certainly do all have a different point of view Blob.
    Unfortunately though, a point of view that people give here, is immediately beaten down if it doesn't agree with some of the dried up old trouts that assume they own the place.
    Ref: Soubrette for a good (but far from the only) example

    Agreed that people will try to put your point of view down, but it dos't mean that they are wrog if they see it different. I have crossed swords with a few people here, and by and large accept that they have their view point. After all we are dealing with a very emotive point here!

    As I say tollerance on all side is a good thing!

    Blob, I agree with your sentiments but I cannot agree to someone like woody being rude and ill mannered to people in a difficult situations, if someone spoke to you or distorted your posts in the same way that woody has done to mine then I would speak up in your defence, even, as is extremely likely, I did not agree with the content of your posts.

    We disagree but you are helpful and I have never heard you call anyone stupid. Woody on the other hand is a very poor advocate of the NRP and not a person I personally would want to consider 'on my side' of an argument.

    He demeans that which he is trying to defend.

    It disappoints me immeasurable that posters whom I like and some I admire try to defend him.
