Thanks for the EDL clarification.  We have a similar thing in BC - I've just never connected the acronym with the words before. We are also in agreement with what the compensation should be - as I've said earlier - $2.5 Mil is an opening bid. I wish I had confidence that the courts will...

We're in agreement on all points.  Including, sadly, the MSM's probable lack of interest.

$2.5 Mil is just a number - no doubt pulled out of her lawyers nether regions.  It's an "opening bid".  I don't think she deserves that amount, either - but she deserves SOMETHING. What amount would you suggest?

What's an "EDL"? I'm not disputing that she had a suspicious passport - nor that the other documentation she had was "enough".  I AM stating that the existence of the other documentation was enough to have INVESTIGATED her claims - rather than abandoning her to the local government.  If there...

Which takes away from the justification for some kind of compensation in what way?

I think she's due to recoup SOME damages.  She incurred expenses she wasn't planning on (child care, hotel bills, loss of income) due to being detained.  And yes, I think she's due some type of compensation for what must have been a terrifying and humiliating experience. Does that add up to...

That was interesting - thanks Mario.  Interesting that, just like vehicle accidents, males tend to have more "catastrophic" accidents. And Loachman - you're right - an extremely small sample, and one shouldn't take too much stock in the conclusions of the study.

You, of course, have a much better understanding of the flying aspect of this whole thang.  My prior statement was just a WAG based on my observations of teenagers and grown adults. At what age did you start flying?  One of my sons was an Air Cadet - got his Glider wings at 15, and his power at...

The unnecessary slagging on this thread has been split off to here: http://forums.milnet.ca/forums/threads/88630.0.html Keep this thread ON TOPIC, without hurling insults at each other. Roy Harding Milnet.ca Staff

You're all four reasonably grown men and women who should know better.  Most of you are fairly senior members around here. I considered warnings to each of you, but you're all equally guilty. I considered deleting these posts but figured, what the hell - if these guys want to look like...

You two three four take it to PMs and let this thread get back on topic. Roy Harding Milnet.ca Staff Edited to add:  This topic is locked until I can clean it up.  The off topic stuff will either be split to Radio Chatter, or deleted - I don't care which.

For those of you in the warning area: http://www.weatherbee.on.ca/torprec.htm Keep your head down.

Very true - every sub-culture has it's own manner of speaking.  I'm a cabinetmaker (furniture maker), and could bore all of you for hours regarding styles, influences, esoteric tools, joinery methods, practical applications for geometrical theory, finishing methods, etcetera, ad nauseum - all...

There are LOTs of things that people don't realize - this being the Recruiting Forum, nothing surprises me.  Everybody has their own "normal", and not everybody has been exposed to a different "normal", never mind a MILITARY "normal"! Heck - some folks don't even realize that their user name...

If I gave $2M to a stripper, the tax man would be the least of my problems.  The phrase "domestic homicide" comes to mind ...

I don't see any surprises there.  Based ONLY on my own experience raising kids - being exposed to my own and their friends.  Teen-aged girls, in general, tend to lack confidence - and teen-aged boys, in general, tend to be overconfident.  Apparently, under confidence translates to more...

I was kind of agreeing with you at first.  Then you contradicted yourself.  The last sentence of your first paragraph says it all - "But that's a personal call". Exactly it's a personal call - which is what the CF is allowing its' soldiers to make.

J Pasco: Why, oh why, oh why, would you (presumably a grown man - don't really know, your profile is empty), go to a CADET forum, and lash out at people who've never done you any harm - especially on a thread that's been dormant for almost six years? This is a classic example of "trolling"...
