Quote from: "cc la femme"An EgyptAir flight from Paris to Cairo made two sharp turns before plunging into the Mediterranean Sea, Greece's defence minister says.



Panos Kammenos said the Airbus A320 had "turned 90 degrees left and then a 360-degree turn to the right".



It then dropped more than 25,000ft (7,620m) before disappearing from radar, he added.


....seems like a suicide the way the trajectory of the flight is described.



Unless someone forced the pilot to do that - or - they took over the controls themselves and did it (?).

Not sure why aircraft designers never thought of or could figure out how to make a plane more safe ages ago. Recently, a Russian engineer introduced a design where the fuselage detaches from the aircraft and parachutes enable the cabin to make a safe landing:

If they've done it for spacecraft, then why not planes?



It could save a lot of lives.

Oh c'mon Renn. You may find me irritating, but I'm never dirty.



All my songs and poems about you are GOOD, CLEAN FUN!



Not even a four letter word uttered in them.



Why, I was humming 2 songs from Joe's Hit Parade, 'Renn Your such a Hen!' & 'Why can't I make Renee Happy?' this morning.

I wouldn't go that far. SMP is a real world certified creep. To my knowledge JOE lacks that certification.



But Joe does have a creep flag that he let's fly a little too often.

Hey Renn, since you & RW keep bringing up this accusation, can you provide specific examples or posts that I made on VF or elsewhere which back up your claims? I'd like to see them, please.

If I may ask ... since my meanderings in the archives have not exposed me to anything weird from JOE ... is there an executive summary available to bring me up to speed?

He's 100% troll with a penchant for dabbling in pedo commentary.

That's  a daring claim to make. Is this a joke, or do you have proof? If not Fash should ban your ass.

Not only am I one if the admins here, I pay the bills for this little slice of the Internet.



Any other complaints you'd like to make?

It's a cheap shot to call someone a pedo without proof on a message board. Real classy


Did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?



She didn't call him a "pedo". She said JOE likes to comment on and discuss issues of pedophilia. There is proof of that all over VF......go look for it, dumbass.



Joe likes to speculate about the sexual activity of underage girls and sometimes he gets borderline inappropriate with it. That is no secret. Most long timers around here have been witness to it. A relative newcomer like you should keep your mouth shut and comment only after you have a bit more experience with the troll that Joe likes to throw around.

I got into an argument with someone today about this very issue of liability.

He said that if he invited some friends over for drinks, he felt that it was his responsibility to make sure thathey get home safely. So he either let them stay over at his place, or he acts as the desgnated driver to take them home. He said that the law would find him negligent if allowed them to drink and drive. But I see it differently - that middle aged men ought to be grown up and experienced enough to know their limit. And if they don't they're irresponsible. There's a point in ones life when they have to be men as opposed to teenagers & take responsibility for their actions. We in Canada seem to live this nanny state where numerous individuals delegate blame to someone else when in fact their own fault.

Quote from: "kiebers" :oeudC:  :dash1:

Thank you for educating me about my criminal justice system. Canadians are lucky they get time off for good behavior. The way you are talking the US obviously makes criminals serve the full time given. No time off for good behavior. And your friend that served time in Texas...tough shit. He did the crime and did the time, or did he get time off for good behavior? Oh wait...you are implying that doesn't happen here...my bad.



Where is that sarcasm font when you need it????



Now you want to put police in all the bar parking lots....hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha  

Who has the resources to pay for that. Trust me, there will not be enough revenue generated to pay for that. Not to mention the amount of people that will be in jail from that. Crowd that justice system up, eh J0E...overload an already overloaded system, eh J0E.  



Hey I know....put a breathalyzer in all the vehicles instead. Create jobs and make the streets safer.



And not everyone gets drunk at a bar, some get drunk and drive from company functions, home and other places as well.



Knock Knock


Hey Kahbuzz - I wasn't in any way defending the man's actions in the video.

Nor did I offer an opinion about the severity or lack of it in the man's sentence.

I was just pointing out the differences between Canada and the United States.

And clearly there are some.



So don't git so uppity and upset.



It's just that I've never heard of anyone in Canada getting 14 years in prison for a DUI even if it involved fatalities.

So it got my attention. And it was just an observation, not passing judgement.



Anyways, the idea of having breathylizer machines in bars isn't new.

I think they've had them for a while.

Actually, if every patron leaving a drinking establishment was required to blow, it may actually help  the owners by providing them with protection against lawsuits from patrons who blame them for getting them drunk. Similar to warning labels on cigarettes.



There was a case in Canada, where a patron sued a bar for intoxicating him and they were found liable:



http://www.canada.com/story.html?id=21b0b41c-ddad-4439-8c22-93b2ee4bee62">http://www.canada.com/story.html?id=21b ... b2ee4bee62">http://www.canada.com/story.html?id=21b0b41c-ddad-4439-8c22-93b2ee4bee62


QuoteRICHMOND I The B.C. Court of Appeal has upheld a lower court ruling that in March last year found a Richmond bar owner 50-per-cent liable for a car accident involving a drunken patron.



No financial damages have been awarded in the case but at the time it was reported as the most severe apportionment of blame against a drinking establishment in Canadian history.



The Appeal Court decision came down Thursday following a two-day hearing in Vancouver before Madam Justice Anne Rowles, Madam Justice Catherine Anne Ryan, and Mr. Justice Kenneth Mackenzie.



The hearing was convened after counsel for the Steveston Hotel appealed the March 2005 B.C. Supreme Court ruling that split the liability of the accident evenly between the drunk driver and the bar.



The decision to quash that appeal now paves the way for plaintiffs in the case to seek damages, lawyer Jim McNeney said in an interview Friday.



McNeney represents four of the five men injured outside the Steveston Hotel in the early morning hours of June 12, 1999.



His most seriously injured client, Eric Tremblay, remains unable to live on his own and suffers from orthopedic and brain injuries resulting from the accident, McNeney said.



A hearing to determine damages is scheduled next year in B.C. Supreme Court, McNeney said. He declined to specify how much money he will be seeking on behalf of his clients.



In an interview last March, however, McNeney told The Sun that Tremblay's injuries were similar to those of Natalia Spehar, who was awarded $7.5 million in damages in 2003 after she was injured in a crash.



When told about Thursday's ruling, McNeney said Tremblay was "very, very happy."



Counsel for the Steveston Hotel could not be contacted for comment Friday.



The hotel owners still have the option of applying to the Supreme Court of Canada to hear an appeal of the case.



The crash that injured the five men took place about two blocks from the Steveston Hotel.



Tests would later show that Harry McWilliams, the 21-year-old driver who was involved in the crash, had a blood-alcohol count of more than twice the legal limit. McWilliams had been drinking in the hotel pub prior to getting into his vehicle. After driving away from the bar, McWilliams tried to pull around a pickup truck that was stopped on the road. In doing so, he drove into a crowd of people, mainly teenagers, hitting five of them.



McWilliams pleaded guilty to impaired driving causing bodily harm in August 2000 and received a 14-month conditional sentence.


....so if the bar had signs warning the patron, and allowing him/her the opportunity to know his or her fitness to drive, it could place 100% liability on the patron.

For those with Costa Rica envy, here's the story about the Canadian tourist who stepped on a snake while visiting that country:

Quote from: "Renee"So you are saying that life is cheap in Canada?


Actually Renn, I think with respect to the POV of law enforcement, that's somewhat true in both the US and Canada.



It seems the law enforcement are more concerned with creating more criminals like the young man in the video rather than PREVENTING DUIs and fatalities. The way they see it, it creates more business for the justice system and gives them jobs.



Instead of nailing people when they get into their cars, why not do it BEFORE they even have a chance to?



Put the police in the parking lot where the patron has a chance to blow into the brethylyzer before they get into the car. And if they're over the limit, they get their car towed and they are fined for the towing costs AND the impoundment. The patron gets stuck with a fine, but no criminal record. Meanwhile, they city or government gets revenues from the impounded cars and a portion of this goes towards funding the police force. I think this is a win-win situation for the potentially drunk driver, the police and the government. But do police and government think of innovative ways like these to prevent fatailities? No. Their main focus seems to be nailing people and criminalizing them.



Anyways, I saw this scenario played out on Granville Island, a tourist spot nearby where I live. The police set up these roadblocks to catch suspected drinking drivers. But it held up traffic for hours and many of us didn't get home til midnight because we couldn't get off the Island. Now, wouldn't it have made a lot more sense to implement the solution like the above? It would've allowed us all to go home on time, and nab the suspected drunks when they got out of the bars so their cars could be impounded, fines levied and instant revenues back into government coffers? Put the 'roadblocks' outside iof the bars instead of on the street. Seems a lot more efficient way to catch drunks and to prevent fatalities due to them on the road.

Yeah, but that's why if given a choice to be sentenced in the US or Canada, most convicts would choose the latter. Canada is a slap on the wrist compared with the US. Y'know, I know someone who spent 5 years in a Texas prison where you live, K. I sure wouldn't wanna be him. The years in one of your state prisons had taken their toll on the poor guy. But that's what its like in America, which has the largest prison population in the world. And stiff sentences. I know that Texas is one of the most severe. Florida is pretty harsh too.



Anyways, the guy in that video would've gotten less time in Canada. Maybe 5 years or less with good behavior? Certainly not 14 years as he did in the video.
#3987
Y'know, I git the sense here, that a number of fellow citizens are jealous of $20 good fortune to live where he want and do what he wants when he wants. I guess they're envious cuz they'd like ta be doin the same thing. When someone has more money, more opportunity, it must steam them up a bit.

Well, Renn asked me if I'd driven passengers to a strip club, and so I just told her the truth. I have. I don't make those stories up. Nor did I ever tell the passengers they should go there. I couldn't help it if hormones or curiosity got the better of them.



Actually one thing I noticed - was whether the passengers were white, asian, brown or black, rich, poor, famous or non, the number 1 topic was always sex, men and women talking about their sex lives or private parts.



Perhaps it all sounds so dirty, but that's what is always on their minds.



Sorry if the truth hurts, but that is the real world and what people talk about and do after hours.

Quote from: "JOE"America is mighty hard on crime, kiebers.



That sorta thing might net a guy 4 or 5 years tops in Canada (released early on good behavior).



And if the judge was gay, he'd probably give that guy in the video community service & invites up to his penthouse.

...well kahbuzz, here's a link about drunk driving sentences in Canada.

Even some of those sentenced thought they got off too light. Many in Canada will get between 3 and 5 years. Didn't that video say the driver in Florida got 14? Believe me, the US is much tougher on crime and believes in stiffer setences, including drunk driving.
