Commenting Policy
Comments will be largely unrestricted and unmoderated, but there are a few things we don’t want to deal with because we have little time or patience for flame wars. So, for the benefit of readers, here is a preliminary list of things to avoid when commenting:
- Unprovoked personal attacks
- Attacks based on religion
- Race-baiting
- Excessive profanity
- All caps
- Nonsense
- Bullshit
We will edit or delete offending comments at our discretion. Keep in mind that editing and deleting comments is not indicative of our stance on any particular issue; it is simply a measure taken to douse out flame wars and encourage intelligent commentary.
Additionally, comments are solely the opinion of the commenter, and therefore do not have anything to do with the editorial policy of The Spearhead.

There are lots of people who think they are intelligent but very few who are intelligent.

We should probably have something about sockpuppeting in here.

I actually don’t know what you mean by ‘All caps’. I also don’t know what ‘sockpuppeting’ is either.
You will have to understand that words familiar in the USA might be completely unknown elsewhere.

All caps is typing in all capital letters LIKE THIS. It’s considered the textual equivalent of screaming.
Sockpuppeting refers to using an alternative identity — that is, posting under two different aliases, typically to yank someone’s chain, or simply to stir the pot. Aliases are fine, but we pick one and stick to that one.

sockpuppeting…hmmmm, learn something new every day. And to think, my high school education regarding computers was to carry on the Oregon Trail after I had two oxen die.

Sockpuppeting is easibly stoppable for WordPress, because it tracks IP automatically, so is a reasonable policy. Besides writing style isn’t something so easibly changeable, so it can be detected by reading. It also helps that some cases are blatantly obvious.

Rules 1-5 make perfect sense, but what constitues “nonsense” and “bullshit?” I only ask because I’m new here, and don’t want to inadvertently break any rules.

Nonsense mean “unintelligible”
Bullshit is anything that is frankly untrue.
“And to think, my high school education regarding computers was to carry on the Oregon Trail after I had two oxen die.”
LMAO.
I played that game in middle school. My entire family died of snakebites one time. Good times.

The excuse they use to exclude/shut out men for getting desperate assistance, is that the younger men are fighting their way to the front of the line, friends this is just an excuse, if that is happening, it means those who are in charge are not doing a proper job of coordinating things, to say that the young men are pushing their way to the front of the line why they had to take such measures, are nothing but flimsy excuse for what this world is known for, shutting men out from many programs and aid packages, which is blatant sexism and discrimination against men, for I am 100 % sure that in this chaos and confusion going on in Haiti, Young, strong females are doing the very something by trying to go to the front of the lines, not men alone doing that, this is very wrong in a time when all needs help.

I am English and clinically insane according to the UK Godvernment so apologies in advance if i find it hard to fit my jack in the box..
I may appear to talk total twaddle and nonsense and swear a lot, but it actually makes sense if you look at it from the perspective of a professional bad example..

I am really angry tonight all the people against this bill can not read or have lost their hearing! The bill states plainly execption of UNFIT PARENTS, of course Drugs, Parent Allination, Medical Abuse, and Domestic Violence is an UNFIT PARENT so these stories they are discussing from other people, Domestic Violence , Woman’s Group, etc. their bases are covered–Duh–so what’s the deal?

If the feminists can talk ANTI-PATRIARCHY with one side of their mouths, while trying to hold the status quo on things like ALIMONY (which is a husbandly “obligation” dating from the patriarchy) with the other side, then we can play it both ways too.

Is there any way to do something about all of the bots spamming up the forum? It’s getting a bit out of control, in my opinion.

A well made point. Perhaps we should look forward to a more optimistic future, rather than endlessly complaining about the bitterness of past experiences. The future is an “Undiscovered Country” in the mind, to paraphrase the Star Trek movies. This would fit the thesis of the original author – after all, what is left to be conquered but the future itself?
If we are to make headway as a movement, as men, then we must be more optimistic. This is not my nature, and I’m sure as many of you are newly divorced and screwed over men, not yours either. Yet, optimism is essential.
I propose a setting of difficult, but achievable goals, a manifesto of purpose against which we could measure our success. These would not only be our benchmark, but it would also be a sign of progress and thus a cause of optimism for the future.
What do you think?

You’ll get a lot of crap, and no order at all to emerging dialogue. Tgis kind of site needs dedicated people to drop by every so often.
Good pep talk., and I agree, though I can’t imagine the goal-setting of corperate management being sufficient. One simple goal might do, like common law, and the remedy.
Yes, and No. I’d prefer not to see it.
Feminism is an ugly word even to most woman who carry the disease. Their ideology is finished. What we are fighting is ‘western woman’, poisoned and controlled by the New World Order in an injust system.
Men are a force. That could be sated in our goals. Or better, Fathers are a force.
How about, this:
‘Fathers intend to take control of human affairs, in harmony with Natural Law’
MEANING:
All children and Fathers have each other. That includes the whole of us.
We (read Fathers) shall wrestle control from the dark forces, including:
the Insane and Usurious International Financiers.
We shall punish those who have brought injustice: judges and magistrates.
We shall punish treasonous and corrupt politicians.
Our system is Justice, in the Natural Law, the Common Law of all. We shall uphold that.
The Law is simple. Do no harm.
You already have your rights. They are god given.
We are the human government usurped; We are the army.
The King is the Father’s and acts accordingly
The Chief is the Fathers’, and acts accordingly
Call us the Patriarchs, if you like.
This is not world government, or a new world order, It is the Natural Order.
Our sons and daughters support us, need us to act now.
No other name can match us.
Nothing can stop us.
We continue to listen to wisdom.
We shall act.
We need nothing new. We have nothing new.
We are not a new revolution
We are the Fathers
We bear seed, and carry responsibility
We are Sovereign, and we are dutiful
We disdain power, rights or privileges for ourselves.
We invest power, just as we are given power, and we take back power.
We decide all things given to humans to decide.
We and our sons are the Army the protectors, the Army of the Common Folk

I would like to add:
We recognise that industrial warfare is not warfare at all, but planned subversion.
We eschew industrial warfare, and as no threat to Us, we have no recourse to it.
We fight with hand weapons only, only armies if required.
Cunning warmongers shall be required to fight duels, or shut up and lose all honour.
