On Father's Day, should we remember all the men in prison for their inability to pay child support?
Sad but true: http://www.ajc.com/opinion/content/opinion/stories/2009/06/21/sacksed_0621.html Interesting quote: "For example, in one case highlighted by the Boston Globe, a divorced father who worked in the real estate industry had been paying $6,000 a month in child support, plus additional expenses such as health insurance and tuition. When the real estate industry crashed, he fell behind and, with an application for a downward modification still pending, was handcuffed in court and jailed for 30 days. The Bergen Record recently detailed the case of Peter Triantafillou, a divorced dad who agreed to pay $5,000 a month in child support in 2006 while earning a good income as a trader. When the economic downturn hit, he was laid off twice and now earns only $60,000 — exactly the amount of his child support obligation. He says: “They had an arrest warrant on me. I had to go to jail for two days. I could understand if I was a deadbeat dad. Or I was on the run or something. But I’m here, picking up my kids after school. I’m involved. Just because I don’t have that much money to pay anymore doesn’t mean I should be chastised.†National Public Radio reported the case of a Cape Cod, Mass., father who lost his job in January but is still required to pay $3,466 a month in child support and 65 percent of college expenses for two of his children. According to NPR: “He petitioned the court to pay less child support but … had to wait two and a half months for a hearing. Then the judge denied his request to temporarily lower his child support payments and scheduled a trial for July … typically, it takes six months from the time a noncustodial parent petitions the court to pay less because of a job loss to when the court makes a decision.â€" "I'd rather think of all the children suffering because their father are to selfish to pay child support." Sox, The question was not about men who can pay but don't. The question was about the men who are jailed because they cannot pay. Please try to pay attention. Thanks. "I read the question. Then I told you what I'd rather do. Please pay more attention to my answers, thanks." Sox, I'd rather think about pretty much anything other than your non-answer. Sox and MBlue, I think your answers speak for themselves. You have no problem with putting inocent men in jail, or do not consider it a issue worthy of attention. Thanks for clarifying your position. *an issue* Some great answers here. Thanks! BratRich, that was quite eloquent. MBlue, If your original answer demostrated any empathy for fathers imprisoned for their inability to pay child support, I missed it. It seemed to me that you were too busy distracting from the issue by attacking men who can pay but won't and men who are in prison for other reasons. Maybe I should have read very closely between the lines . . . "oh, and all of what I say applies to women too." MBlue, How convenient is this afterthought? It almost makes it sound like you are being fair-minded. Almost. As we all know, the draconian child support system was designed primarily by feminsts who don't like men and who are well aware that men will be disproportionately impacted because women alost always get custody. *almost always*

Men who are in jail for unrelated crimes also don't have their child support suspended. They become "deadbeat dads" against their will while behind bars. Adds: Wow, MBLUE. You're not very forgiving, are you? Especially since over half of the people in jail in this country are there for victimless crimes...

I'd rather think of all the children suffering because their father are to selfish to pay child support, thanks. EDIT: I read the question. Then I told you what I'd rather do. Please pay more attention to my answers, thanks. EDIT: That's because you care more about fathers too half assed to help feed their children than those very same children suffering. You obviously view child support as some evil institution bought about by feminism.
3 :
Very sad. Sox, I like to think of the selfish women who had kids but were too immature to maintain a family. The majority of these men are good men who have had the misfortune of impregnating skanks.
4 :
Yep, men aren't worth anything in our society unless they're working for women, or paying women. And Sox, "too selfish to pay child support"?, are you kidding me? Its not a matter of selfishness, its a matter of NOT BEING ABLE to pay. Courts place an essentially arbitrary income to a man, and then make him pay a certain percent. Clearly you aren't capable of independent thought, and you simply mirror the party lines. A man could make 80k a year. But the courts could simply say he makes 100k a year, and charge him 75k in CS, Alimony, legal fees, and etc. Its about imputed income, not reality. He then would not have enough money to live. It will also take a long time to change his income if he gets laid off. He could get thrown in jail for simply working in a bad economy. Its about the children though. Who gives a crap about men. Edit: I dont care about fathers more than children. I care about men who get wrongly imprisoned for losing their jobs in an unstable economy. They aren't "half assing", they try to support their kids, but are not able to. And don't put words in my mouth. I do not view CS as evil. It is necessary for the welfare of kids. But imprisoning fathers due to unavoidable circumstances does not help the kids in any way. It actually prevents him from getting a new job to support them. Thus, it HURTS the children to imprison the father, along with being unethical.

steve-o wants us to feel bad for the dads that are in jail for unrelated offenses and then can't pay their child support. Maybe they shouldn't have broken any laws in the first place? If they're in prison for another crime, they aren't good fathers anyways. And yes, it's unfortunate that there's so many deadbeats out there that the system is built towards them... making it harder to protect the men that honestly just caught a tough break and don't have the money. It's a question of letting a guilty man go free or putting an innocent man behind bars. Sadly enough, our parents weren't lying when they told us "life isn't fair" EDIT: when did I say I had no problem with it!? I said "unfortunately" and "sadly" ... I was speaking about the injustices of our justice system. It does suck that the bad fathers ruined it for the ones that have just "honestly caught a bad break". And I wish something were done about it. And if you honestly feel bad for the men that are put in prison for another offense and then are unable to pay their child support... then you really aren't seeing the big picture of that situation. When someone is sent to prison, they don't get to put their job on hold, their family's life on hold, etc. Why should that carry over to child support? The inmate made a conscious decision to break the law and ended up in jail. You don't get a free pass from child support just because you're a criminal. You want to support your kids, help them lead a productive, good life, stay out of jail. You're telling Sox to read the question carefully and you didn't even read my answer carefully. EDITx2: After reading the other answers and looking at their avatars I have one question: Is it because I'm a girl? :-( No, steve-o, actually I'm forgiving of men who broke the law, completed their punishment and didn't bi*ch and moan about how unfair it is that their kids didn't starve/go without clothes/otherwise live in poverty because they were in prison and couldn't support them. If you want to be a good dad, you stay out of jail. It's not hard, there's plenty of law-abiding citizens who haven't been put in jail ever. EDITx3: last one, really I'm done. So you sent that nice email, and then continued to attack me on here. I repeat: "not cool sammy" To clear things up, I was only irritated that steve-o would compare the situation that these poor men are in who have lost their jobs with the situation of a real criminal in prison. And my source wasn't an afterthought, but merely a guess of what the next response would be... "oh well if the roles were switched, you would say the woman shouldn't be held accountable for her child support." So if it's possible to state this any clearer: I agree, those men are in a shitty situation and it's sad and I wish something could be done to prevent it from happening again.
6 :
This is unbelievable. The whole system is so F*^*ed up. Sox, these men can't even pay! That's pretty heartless of you.
7 :
Heavenly Father! If you are there, and tune into earth frequency sometimes, you already know its Father's day! We, sons and fathers, have died to save our kith and kin for centuries. Sacrificed our days and toiled under dark stars. We stayed away, missed our children's smiles and missed the touch of their tiny fingers. We worked through our lives till grey hair, so our children can grow. We, sons and fathers, went out in millions and laid our lives so our children's mothers and motherland can stay free and prosperous. But Oh Father! A Father is not valued anymore. A father is not human anymore. He is remnant of your glory. His life and time is less worth than the money he earns. He can not save the life of his unborn child. And he can not be a father to his born ones if the kings decide. The spring of compassion and love from the mother-earth has dried. So Father, Send us a miracle. Let some compassion for your reflections show. Let some justice for your sons prevail. Heavenly Father! Let your sons be the Fathers.

Sad.. It's pathetic and hypocritical how society shame/demonize men who can't pay child support but at the same time have no problem with women who avoid parental responsibility by having abortion or just drop the baby at the fire station..
9 :
Sox, The father is not the only one required to provide a certain amount of money toward the care of the children, so is the custodial mother. But, when she loses her job, she just takes away from her children by reducing what she is obligated to provide for them. She is under no threat of jail for losing her job and providing less for her children, only the father is. Also, she can get a reduction hearing in 30 days, along with an increase in his obligation for extras, such as her percentage of the cost of a private school. This is a civil rights issue. If she's allowed to reduce her obligation to the children, because of a job lose, so should he, or both should face the threat of prison, equally. Now worse than all that, they have to let out soft crime criminals in order to house these fathers. The states no longer have the money to house criminals of all types, but because federal law requires that deadbeat dads take precedence in jailings, others, such as muggers, have to be released. Which do you want in jail?
10 :
'On Mother's Day, should we remember all the women in prison for their inability to pay child support?' What about this question? There are plenty of mothers, who do not take care properly of their children. More children are mistreated by mothers than by fathers, and boys are more frequently mistreated than girls. What about these mothers? What happens with them? Are they in jail? Do they pay child-support to the father and other people who take care of their mistreated children? About child-support, it should be calculated on a monthly basis. If a father is jobless, how can he pay? If a father is ill and in hospital and has no income, how can he pay? Yes, on Father's Day, we should remember fathers, all fathers, who have good intention towards their children.
11 :
The child support law is against the constitution of this country. I believe there is some sort of a paragraph in the US Constitution which states government cannot induced involuntary slavery or some thing to that nature. If a father don't have a job and cannot get one, he should not have to be imprisoned. I called that involuntary slavery. When a father cannot get a job, or unable to work, which is more likely now due to global recession,(which was caused by the idiot greedy politicians and shaking hands with their corporate lobbyist) the father cannot be determine to be label a dead beat dad, and should not be jailed. Then ones that should be imprison are the ones committing fraudulent activities and racketeering of the American fathers of their ability to make a living for them and their children. The District Attorney has made collecting child support as a financial a industry. I have no idea how much they collected but I do know there is somewhat like 14.4 Billion Dollars still out standing of so call unpaid child support. With 14,4 billion dollars they can build dozens of more concentration camps in this country deserts. For people like me who are not afraid to tell the truth and of course the fathers of all the$14.4 billion unpaid child support. Actually what Child Support really is, is another form of taxation for having children. The world would not look to kindly on government in which parents get taxed for having children so they call it, Child Support. The lawyers, judges,court clerks, the DA and everyone else that is connected, to collection of child support gets to be employed and feeding and clothing their children. That is the present nature of this government we are suppose to take care of our kids, so at a later time, this government can kill them in some future war for the want of oil or to keep the Wall Street Investors happy and rich. The child support law is and another incidence where this government is trying to institutionalize the kids, by breaking up family values and independent thinking, that is derived from a 2 parent family structure. Which benefits the coming of the New World Order. The only way to beat the child support law is go to jailed as the civil rights activist did so in the 1960's. And when governmental idiot bureaucrats have half the adult male population in jail then the law might become more lenient or abolished this unfair law.

Would there ever be an epic bin laden biopic film made in the history of all cinema?Our lifetime or years away
And if they did how do you think it will go? My sister said it wouldn't offend people or americans but simply wouldn be a huge waste of a big budget long film about his entire life, coz it wouldn't gross money coz no one would see it. So she thinks no one would see it except me lol and I think it would offend americans anyway...but it would be worth exposing the tragedy of 9/11 as it includes one man's demise as a flesh-and-blood human. A fellow human lost along the path of peace. But it would be a film to make us know our enemy coz we have to in order to overcome their hate. The entire film based on Peter Bergen's book The BinLaden I Know as he has the same goal: understanding the enemy. My dad made me wonder this as he sed how fascinating it wud be to see that journey in a film. Do you think a bin laden biopic would be made or would there just be films like hunting for him like Oliver Stone said he would do following his World Trade Center? "H8 cant overcome evil. Only luv can" MLK

very interesting but you got to realize that if the movie was made in the USA it would be very biased and the facts of bin laden would be given to you by the US Government and frankly after being lied to all these years i wouldnt trust the Governtment to tell what time it is.... we are a government of lies and propaganda .... They Blamed Bin Laden hours after the crash yet they had no knowledge it was going to happen... Bin Laden himself came out A week After the Attack and denied involvment and even said to check within our own government for the criminals ....that being said how can we possibly make a movie based on biased information our corrupt government has given us on Bin Laden...... not saying he is a saint or anything but a movie written by anyone is just going to be biased propaganda for or against him.... is a great topic and i would love to watch that film though

I need help choosing which school i go to? (highschool) 10th grade?
I need help choosing which school i go to? (highschool) 10th grade?
so i have to choose between two highschools since im moving over the near future to my new house in bergen county. I am currently in Passaic county. PCTI is a technical vacational school that offers many oppurtunities in life liek it gives you money off of your college fee and helps you take college classes before college so you could save money and take less courses for college and going to this highschool is absolutly free i love this school also the swimteam for this school is awsome and will give me the chance for getting yet another scholarship the only bad thing is that when i move into the new house it will take me an extra hopur or two for transportation, and that also i picked business as a class for college degreees and stuff which is very boring. all my friends that i knew since kidergarten go there for bergen high its just a regular highschool but it is way more closer to my house and is easier in transportationa nd gives me a new chae to make new friends with a new reputation and alland all my friends in the old school are begging me not to go but i still have oppurtunities were i might see them if i go to bergen high but ill miss pcti So which should i pick?

first of all, you need to make the choice. i understand that friends are very important and have a big influence but this is your life so you need to do what is going to make you happy. this is just my opinion and maybe not yours, but i would go to the one that offers you more opportunities which may be PCTI. it seems to be a very good school with good classes. you would also have a lot more advantages than a local public school so in my opinion, you should take advantage of it. you should visit both schools to find out info about each. if you feel that PCTI is most fit for you and has more opportunities that colleges may like, i would go there. i currently am going to a high school which is almost a half hour away from where i live and i knew no one going to this school in freshmen year. however, i joined cross country and met many friends and i know feel like the school is rite next to me. so you may have a bit of a hard time meeting friends but just be a little out going and join some type of school activity. you will meet people there. however, if you feel that your missing out if you dont go to bergen, then you need to consider both. just try to picture where you see yourself happy. good luck!

if you clearly know it a scam, Do you honestly think you are going you receive a check for $875.00 do not send them any money take the letter to the authorities
2 :
Since the suspect already knows your name and address, it is best for the FBI to have your name and address as a complainant.
3 :
Contact the FBI internet crimes division http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx and give the cheque to your local fbi office http://www.fbi.gov/contact/fo/fo.htm when it arrives, you dont want to be caught with fake cheques as you can be arrested. if it really was sent fedex the fbi can track where it was sent from and who sent it. let the fbi know they know your address and phone number if you want to answer just say that you tried to deposit it and the bank told you the cheque was fake and would not accept it and would not give it back to you. Tell them to send you another one, and they will lose money on fedex charges each time they send you something. If they do try to contact or threaten you act stupid and say that the bank must have called the fbi or police

Yes, it IS obviously a scam. Once you get the check, save it and any other correspondence for the authorities as mail fraud is a federal offense.

QANTAS or Singapore Airlines?
QANTAS or Singapore Airlines?
I plan on booking a return trip from Sydney, Australia to Olso, Norway. Departure around the end of November, 2011 with the return around the end of February, 2012 (I am flexible in terms of dates). I have looked up the prices around a couple of online flight booking websites however with further research, decided it was better to book with a travel agent for an international flight. So, I have looked up the prices on the website of the travel agent I plan on making the booking with. At first, I was thinking of going with the cheapest ticket which was KLM Royal Dutch Airlines but after a few Google searches, came to the conclusion that it was probably more wiser to pay the extra money for better service. So, after having removed a couple of other airlines from my possible options, I am now left with QANTAS or Singapore Airlines. With QANTAS, it will be around $2223.14 and for Singapore Airlines, $2495.94. I've moreover checked both airlines on SKYTRAX and QANTAS is 8/10, with Singapore Airlines as 8.5/10. So, there is really only a '0.5' difference between them there. I've read up good things about both airlines but I'm still uncertain. I know that it will be a long flight so obviously seat comfort, food and entertainment do remain as being factors to consider. However, is there a need to spend possibly an extra $272.80 for a supposedly better airline or will it be fine to just travel with QANTAS? Plus, if it does make any difference, my actual destination will be Bergen so I need further travelling costs there and back as well. So, that's why I just want to be definite as to whether spending the extra money is necessary.

It's always better to fly with your 'own' airline, if you're a native from Australia, it's Qantas. Home airlines tend to cater to needs and preferences of natives, the magazines, meal menus etc. are all chosen based on natives' favorites. The other important factor is you can accumulate air miles when you fly, the chances you are going to fly Qantas again should be much greater than flying with a foreign airline.

If the only choice is between QANTAS and Singapore Airlines I would go for QANTAS. Singapore Airlines do not offer direct flights from Singapore to Oslo. You would need to transit through either Frankfurt/Germany or Copenhagen/Denmark and continue your flight on either Lufthansa or SAS. This requires to pass through either German or Danish immigration. The flights between the so called 'Schengen' countries are internal flights without immigration controls. Flights from Frankfurt or Copenhagen to Oslo depart from the national/Schengen part of the airport. International transit without immigration control is not possible. The stopover time of only 1:05 hours to 1:20 hours will result in a 'nervously queuing' at immigration with the self-question asked: will I make it to my connection flight?? http://www.smartraveller.gov.au/zw-cgi/view/TravelBulletins/Europe_Schengen .. The transit at London travelling on QANTAS will be more smoother. You will be able to stay airside without passing British immigration and you will be transported by designated buses to the departure terminal. However you will have a 6 ½ hours stopover at London of you want to travel on a flight operated by QANTAS; the other flights offered and sold by QANTAS are actually performed by the allied airline British Airways. Maybe you should still reconsider your plans and book on KLM. The flight will take you directly into Bergen with stopovers at Singapore and Amsterdam. Qantas Airways flights 31; departs 17:30 Kingsford Smith (SYD); arrives 22:30 Changi (SIN) stopover in Singapore (SIN) for 2h 45m KLM Royal Dutch flight 836; departs 01:15 Changi (SIN); arrives 07:50 Amsterdam - Schiphol (AMS) stopover in Amsterdam, Netherlands (AMS) for 2h 50m KLM Royal Dutch flights 1187 operated by KLM Cityhopper; departs 10:40 Amsterdam - Schiphol (AMS); arrives 12:30 Bergen - Flesland (BGO) flight time: 8h 10m + 13h 35m + 1h 50m = 23h 35m stopover time: 3h 40m + 2h 50m = 6h 30m total travel time: 30h 05m The stopover time of 2h 50m at Amsterdam (or 2h 00m on the return flight) is sufficient to clear immigration without hustle.

Singapore Airlines!!!
4 :
Given the choice between Singpaore Airlines, Qantas or KLM, I would choose Singapore every time. They win more "best airline" awards than any other airline, have incredible food (for an airline) and the service is as good as it gets. You also will layover at Singpore's Changi Airport which is one of the best airports in the world for a number of reasons. Singapore Airlines can be more expensive, otherwise I would consider KLM and Qantas to be about equal regarding service and amenities and would choose the airline with the best price and flight and layover times.
