"It's not OK" ad campaign

[Subike]

If you want vigilante justice, you have to accept the absence of Government and any form of civilisation. Punishment is meted out by the courts in the fashion that YOU asked for it to be.

You assume that I voted for the current government.
It does not mater what we as the people say to this govenment they have and will alway do what they want regaurdles of our input
We as a people, dont really have a true voice in the running of the goverment of this country
Elections?
What a farce, minority partys goin togeather to make a majority, yeah right. we voted them in......but they decided who "them" was.

anyways

Violence is the most powerfull force we have control of, pity we abuse that control more than use it wisely.

Women? I agree can be more violent than men, but they are emotional beings, as us men are cold harted, calculating but slow to show our true feelings, we hate being seen as a coward or a weakling.
So we put on a mask and adapt to the needs of the day........her needs all too often

So you're advocating violent retribution if a woman hits you?

How about you quote me where I said that.

[Str8 Jacket]

It's got nothing to do with "tough" women.

Just to clarify Jim....By tough I meant, mentaly hard, violent, physchotic etc.... Anyone who is violent, especially those who are guilty of domestic violence needs help. But these people, both men and woman are "tough" as in they are hardened by whatever circumstances for whatever reasons and accept there behaviour as normal when its not.

Women? I agree can be more violent than men, but they are emotional beings, as us men are cold harted, calculating but slow to show our true feelings, we hate being seen as a coward or a weakling.

See some woman can use both violence AND emotional abuse to wear there partner down. Some woman who do this kind of thing actually feel less emotion than you think and are blinded by violent rage. Some woman can be more violent than men, both physically and mentally.

My first wife was a violent drunk. If she didn't pass out after her third bottle of wine, she would get aggressive and violent.

She had twice my strength. Not physically, but mentally there were no limits or bounds to her aggression.

After two years of abuse and sometimes being awakenened by being beaten around the head in my sleep, I went to the Domestic Violence Unit of the local Police station. They were very keen to see me and happy to talk. I showed them around 1000 pages of diary notes. I explained that my therapy was to write down just the really bad incidents.

I then discover that my wife has been reporting me for domestic violence against her for the past 2 years. They said that they knew there was something wrong with her claims, but couldn't work out quite what it was. They said that they believe me and not her.

Anyway it all ended very badly and I am now in NZ without the three kids I brought up whilst their drunken mother did all she could to destroy anything good. For me to see my kids, they have to suffer unreasonable stress and anxiety, so it is best that I don't see them. I understand that they now hate me. I didn't give up easily, courts, solicitors, wasted holiday fares, 600k round trips without seeing them; there was very little else that I could do.

Sorry to say this about a woman however my ex-wife is a complete cunt, but in saying that is that worse than the supposed law makers. The UK police are prejudice, the UK courts are prejudice and in general, women in such industries are unable to act professionally and without prejudice. She was mixing with her own kind, especially the legal profession and to deceive such people has been very easy.

As a souvenir, I have a letter from a senior social worker stating that my ex-wife suffered domestic violence from me. Apparently my kids say they were told what to say and when to say it by their mother. Excellent. All that special training those morons get at everyone elses expense (to know when kids are being made to lie) is obviously well invested. Unfortunately in those days, only already screwed up people applied for such jobs. Hopefully that is no so much the case today.

No sympathy or 'what ifs' required thanks. Been there , done that. I am free from that woman. I have had to pay a very high price, but it has been worth it as I am still alive, which I would not be if I had stayed. Once I get my knee straight, I have a new motorbike on its way and I will be even happier thanks very much.

The point of my ramble is that the idealists on this thread seem to make presumptions based upon specific presentations. I don't know why anyone on here believes themselves qualified to judge a half arsed news story to a full conclusion.

Off soap box and out on my bike............................

The Japanese have one of the lowest crime rates in the world and their punishment and justice system is one of the harshest.

Reason why it's low is because of fear of punishment. Some of them who go to prison are monitored 23 hours strictly.

[White trash]

I think I understand exactly where you're coming from Jim and it's a catch 22 scenario.

Woman to man domestic violence is not seen as a problem in this country as there's obviously a huge shortfall in the number of reported incidents. Therefore the media and campaigners are going to promote solutions to what's seen as the more predominant social issue.

Perhaps what we need is someone to begin a campaign encouraging men to come forward and not be embarrased. But before that can happen, scociety needs to be made aware that it's not a sign of "weakness" when men are psycologically/physically abused by their partners.

Gonna be a real tough cookie to crack unfortunately.

My ex-wife once picked up a chair and came after me, WWF style. (I must've said the wrong thing. I can be less than tactful, sometimes.)

In front of the kids and all.

As I retreated down the hallway, I commented that if she didn't start acting sane, I'd consider calling the cops.

She dropped the chair, ran for the phone and called them first, claiming I'd hit her.

I must say, I was impressed; there was a police officer at the door within 60 seconds. Literally.

A bit embarrassing, though, on the whole.

I eventually got rid of her in exchange for six figures of debt and monthly child support payments, and the kids have been trained, it would seem, to tell people that they're poor because daddy left and took all the money with him.



As a wise man once said to me - burn all bitches.

Gosh! Really????

Thanks JR. Not just me then.
