Parents sue Boy Scouts for 2011 negligence death

[tridacna]

it goes hand in hand with the moon landing hoax, obama's birth certificate, and the water chlorination that leads to socialism

Actually it's water fluoridation that leads to socialism, communism, homosexuality and atheism.

yeah, let's keep trolling happily until we are ready to have a conversation with adults.

The standards you accuse to "make impossible for the instructors to deal with an emergency" have been violated long before the emergency arose, and if the same standards were followed to the letter - including doing a session in confined water - it's highly unlikely would have led to the fatality that happened.

It looks like we're talking about a reading disability - a number of folks can only ready those parts of the standards the are useful to demonstrate ex post a thesis, but can't possibly internalize the parts that do not match the preconceived result of PADI being the source of all evils that affect the dive industry.

When it comes about caring more about the money than the instructor, apparently PADI should disregard whether the instructor violated one, ten, or innumerable standards, the instructor should be defended. Period. At least this is the argument that the president of the "integrity is our value" agency would like us to swallow.

why so vicious? I said the exact same thing regarding standards, yet you are trying to control the narrative and discredit discussion. Interesting.

PS- trolling is against the TOS, you should hit report this post if you feel that way, you'll feel better after...really.

Ahh, so the counsel for PADI are just incompetent? First they were a party to the suit, then settled and removed themselves, and then they're back in. . .
Seems a rather complicated strategy, doesn't it?

You clearly can't read plain english, i guess to continue talking about court strategy is pointless

[SARCASM]And clearly your intellect vastly surpasses by feeble attempts to comprehend what you so obviously have mastered[/SARCASM]

Shall we see how this plays out. . . I'm a patient soul (when it suits me)

In the meantime, please partake of and enjoy that kool-aid

Dang, I can't believe that the king of road rage himself is saying this but there seems to be an excess of testosterone in here at the moment. This may actually be a life & death discussion but let's not kill each other over it. We don't want to look like congress.
