"B2431" wrote in message ... Read it again, Juan, he didn't say he didn't know what the signs were about, he simply said he doesn't recall seeing Jim Campbell's name on the signs. Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired Same thing. |

"Eric Miller" wrote in message . net... I didn't say --- all cases settled out of court have no merit. I did say --- settling out of court says nothing about a case's merit. And I'm saying that that is not correct. Settling out of court can VERY MUCH say a LOT about a case's merit, depending on the circumstances. Remember, cases get settled out of court because the plaintiff gets a guaranteed payout instead of rolling the dice and possibly getting nothing. It is very naive to assume that that's the only reason why cases get settled out of court. And don't tell me that that's not what you're saying. If you want to rephrase, fine, but in this sentence you are saying that that is the only reason why cases are settled, and that's an incorrect statement. I'm in favor of capital punishment for stupid juries... summary judgments, immediately enforced, no chance for appeals! Eric (Of course, I feel the same way about parking tickets and jaywalking ) shrug Let's hope you don't get stuck with jury duty and an immediate sentence. Juan |

"Eric Miller" wrote in message . net... Not that it came from nowhere, but that it was covered by insurance premiums which may or may not have gone up. Actually, there'd probably be a deductible. And pigs flew that night. shrug The plaintiff made the choice to accept a payment rather than having a judge award them: nothing, less, the same, or more. And the result is the same as if the judge had awarded the money. No need to be condescending. It upsets me when people decide to argue points without bothering to read the few messages in the thread. I'm sure it would upset you too. Still equates to American failure to accept personal responsibility in my book. If I slip and fall on the ice, I say "whoops, how clumsy of me", not "who's fault is this? who can I sue?" This wasn't a slip and fall. The allegation was that the design of the UL was wrong, not that he slipped and fell from the sky. First, a good reason why kit builders shouldn't offer "ready to fly" options unless they go the route of full certification (though I guess even that offers no protection). So much for the Sport Pilot initiative... And lastly, as far as litigation goes... it's always cheaper to kill than to maim chuckle Juan |

If Juan wants to believe that accepting an out-of-court settlement is a full admission of guilt, I ain't sure if I want to disabuse him. :-) Ron, does Jim state or imply he's never been successfully sued?

writes: As I mentioned earlier in another post, either quote me entirely or don't quote me at all. To quote your own noises: "No." I decide what to quote, not you. It figures, it might show just how lame and stupid your responses really are. Nothing naive about it and if you had included the rest of my post it was quite clear. Wrong again. OH yes, I did forget, you don't know how to read worth a damn so it probably wasn't too clear to you. Sorry, I gave you too much credit. So quit pulling this **** and YOU won't look like such a damn fool. I know what the signs said and what they were about but also know that out of the 100's of thousands of attendants at Oskhosh this year not more than a few dozen have any clue what-so-ever regarding those signs. Unhuh. And you interviewed them all to see if they were in the hundreds of thousands of hits that aero-news.net receives daily during the show. The only fool here is you, son. Juan Once again you show how poorly you read and understand the english language. Did I mention anywhere how many "hits" that aero-news.net receives daily? Did anybody even mention it? NO! Try reading again and this time slowly one word at a time or better yet, let one of you kids read it to you. And by the way, are you really so stupid regarding web site statistics that you don't know that "hits" are meaningless? The "hit" count has very little to do with the number of people who actually visit a site and can be run up by the way the site is structured. My own site averages over two thousand hits per day but that only represents about a 100 actual individual visitors. That is about a 20 to one ratio but I could easily make it a 2000 to one by some minor changes to the setup. Now go back to school and see if you can do better on your next try.

Glad you're learning to read. You now have my permission to take it back to your sandbox, putz. Your arguments are once again reverting to the prepubescent level. How predictable. Juan |

Simple question for a simple mind. Hush. boy. Children should be heard, not seen. When the adults finish talking we may give you a chance to join in. In the meanwhile, read the question again. Maybe the second time you'll comprehend it. |

And the result is the same as if the judge had awarded the money. The money spends/cost the same, but since there was no judgment, there's no ruling on the merits of the case. As a previous post hinted, it's not a zero-sum game. Even with a judges ruling, both sides can win and both sides can lose. Of course, the lawyers always win. It upsets me when people decide to argue points without bothering to read the few messages in the thread. I'm sure it would upset you too. I've read every line of every one of the 146 posts so far... and I don't get upset that easily (however, I make up for it when I DO get upset ) Still equates to American failure to accept personal responsibility in my book. If I slip and fall on the ice, I say "whoops, how clumsy of me", not "who's fault is this? who can I sue?" This wasn't a slip and fall. The allegation was that the design of the UL was wrong, not that he slipped and fell from the sky. *shrug* personal responsibility is personal responsibility. I don't recall if the case identified the pilot's experience, both total and in make&model. That makes more difference than whether it was a "slip and fall" or whether his leg was torn off and used to beat him over the head. First, a good reason why kit builders shouldn't offer "ready to fly" options unless they go the route of full certification (though I guess even that offers no protection). So much for the Sport Pilot initiative... More pilots and more planes are good. More lawsuits are bad. Fortunately, it's not my job to reconcile the two. Eric |
