NZ has about the worst domestic violence record in the world.....Vietch put his hand up, i think the holier than thou's should all ****, no ones perfect and its none of anyone business but Vietch and the ex..... |

| 686860 | 2008-07-11 04:47:00 | It's a crime. It's the polices business whether she wants to press charges or not. I'd say that regardless of whether he's famous or not. Anyone who causes that much damage to another human being should be put on trial by jury. The only reason this is so bad is that he tried to pay his way out of a crime. Had they settled it in the first place I doubt people would be so disgusted. |

It happens all the time so we should all stay silent? I hardly thinking being repulsed by this act and condemning it makes anyone "holier then thou", If you were witness to the fact then surely you would have stepped in and stopped it?, I know I would have, No matter if the participants were on TV or not. And what impression is being given to the public of NZ?, That extreme violence against women is cool as long as you pay her to keep quiet? The "what happens at home stays at home" way of thinking is what has protected violent offenders and paedophiles throughout history. |

| 686863 | 2008-07-11 05:13:00 | You missed the point Melta.......I didnt say stay silent, I didnt say do nothing....I am saying that this happens frequently, and its only because he is famous, that everyone is getting on the bandwagon.....Havent heard of any domestic violence being stopped by friendly neighbours anywhere in NZ..... You are saying he paid the ex off, well Im sorry Metla, but you know jack **** mate, only what the media has claimed and assumed is true because Vietch didnt dispute it, and that is not confirmation. |

| 686864 | 2008-07-11 05:33:00 | I know that by not condemning it you are condoning it. If it were lies then he would have denied it. |

| 686865 | 2008-07-11 05:42:00 | Nice?? NICE?? Why should we start now?? I'm pretty sure we don't have to be nice to Tony Veitch, Unless of course people are not in fact repulsed by his behaviour but just using the event as an excuse to attack the tall poppy, But to buy into that logic you would be making light of the heinous act he is "alleged" to have done,"Nice" as in nice to each other. Sigh. |

| 686866 | 2008-07-11 08:49:00 | Please explain something to me: In a normal "civilised" debate, the mover gets two options to put his/her case. The seconder if he or she so wishes, can also get two bites. Everyone else gets just one chance to put their case. Lets have a debate by all means, we have a lot of fun and vigorous discussion on a huge range of topics here. Why do you feel Veitch is being unfairly criticised? |

| 686867 | 2008-07-11 09:26:00 | I know that by not condemning it you are condoning it. If it were lies then he would have denied it. Not at all, by answering or denying such allegations, he gives weight to them, and words to be twisted by the media or opinionated fools with nothing better than to spread rumor and gossip and harp on how about what they would or wouldn't do. You cant tell me you haven't heard of dignity & that sometimes its best not to go into detail... By not condemning, you are condoning, if you are not on my side, you are against me, the only thing evil needs to succeed is for the good to do nothing....!is that what you are getting at?.....sometime, IMHO, it is best to keep your own judgment to yourself!.... :2cents: Edit - just to add, with the level of domestic violence in this country, we should be supporting him for admitting and coming out into the open about it, maybe more can and learn from it, not condemning him....the way forward is not jumping all over him, support may also help others understand blah blah.....ah whatever...I've had enough.... |
