Again you perversely avoid the point, a 3 year old child cannot assess risk, a 3 year old child cannot be skilled in controlling a horse many times its weight and strength, so it is its parents who are deciding, not for the child who I expect would have been just as happy on a toy horse.It is...

I do hope you are not a parent. It does not matter what a child wants to do,it is a parents responsibility to ensure they are not allowed to do anything which exposes them to severe risk,it that really a concept you cannot grasp? It is enshrined in law, so important does society think it and...

Lets see eh! 3 year old falls off horse,horse either treads on her or kicks her in the head. Possible death or brain damage and you don't think thats stupid. How many small children have been kicked in the head by a tricycle, how far do they fall when they come off compared to a horse? Well...

Excellent example of really stupid parents.

Back in the day I dare say we all did things which sensibly are not allowed now. The fact we are here to report it is more about luck than judgement,I had friends who aren't. and the accident figures were correspondingly higher.

Very much parents included,being a parent is a responsibility not just a joy.Parents are expected to use the same judgement (if not better) as the normal adult and cannot sign away their children's legal protection as this would be against public policy and undermine the law. These disclaimers...

As you say you are not a horsey person,just how heavy is a horse,how heavy is a 5 year old,how strong is a horse compared with a 5 year old? Absolute madness in my view and all the adults there were grossly irresponsible. The police should be involved and the school should be prosecuted. The...

Because the French have a much more egalitarian society than ours,because they don't let their bankers and "captains of (usually failed) industry" give themselves awards of millions of euros,because they believe a good infrastructure is worth paying for,I could go on.... Cue all the "but...

.The troll who's been here longer than you,done more posta than you> Just because you and your mate have discovered some great universal truth from the net,the rest of us don't have to buy into your "women are taking over the world " fantasy. As for Tim,what could possibly justify killing...

Oh dear oh dear,what a confused person you are.

To be selective in your "evidence" of history is not only abusive but also totally dishonest. Then others join in in an attempt to be ever more biased (they think witty or clever) like 8 year olds in the playground saying "rude words". One of the things I find most distasteful about my gender...

That's it -feel wounded/insulted, don't for one moment consider your remarks,reach for the "he's being nasty to me" card. The reasons for the (reported*) rise in male suicide are complex, they may be societal, they may be economic,they may be medical/dietary,they may be about the rise of...

Oh I see,You believe men are so unhappy and feeling so inadequate that it's words that are wounding them. In that case there is little hope for them. It could just be that the subjects that are well covered in the media are the important ones,like killing,mutilation,rape,assault by men on...

And all of this has damaged you or anyone you know how? I expect (although I can't be bothered because it's just not that important) it would be as easy to find equal quotes from men about women. In 2013 86 women in the UK were killed by their husband,boyfriend or ex partner as against 17 men...

Fundamental and deliberate misinterpretation of what people wrote. Most said in terms if they speed they accept the punishment brought on by their breaking the law. As for that tired old cliche about "real" crime, as most speeding offences are detected by cameras and dealt with by non police...

Thank you,a modern problem for men seems to be that bravado has had to replace achievement,excessive masculinity used to mask feelings of powerlessness. It used to be a man's job to work,provide for his family whilst his wife worked in the home raising the children. This was the pattern ever...

I notice you don't attempt any reasoning yourself and as a non christian I still find the book contains essential truths as to human behaviour. In the modern idiom men need to grow up,grow a pair and stop finding reasons to blame other people for their own irresponsibility. They are just too...

I have just given our postie his Christmas bottle of whisky,no one could do more to be helpful,friendly and efficient.In our little close we all think he's a treasure. So lets hear it for the good guys for a change.

OK substitute women hating (fearing?) for right wing. BTW, male,grandfather of 4,ex rugby player,married to the same woman for nearly 50 years. Still no comment on men so often being authors of their own misfortune?

Totally disagree with the characterisation (or more accurately character assassination) of "radical feminist". Nice right wing term of abuse which says more about the user than the subject. In my mind when men are still playing "shoot up" games on their computers beyond the age of 14,when men...
