That would be "you're" welcome as in "you are" welcome. Correctly someone's English is always dangerous as you almost always make a mistake of your own in the process. The preceeding contains "your" used correctly. P.S. I'm sure someone better in English than me can find at least one mistake in what I wrote above. :-) All procedes from the preceeding post will go to the National Spelling Bee. Montblack |

Please don't ascribe Thomas' perception of my sense of personal responsibility to me. It couldn't be farther from the truth. Not so. You clearly wrote that a pilot who was using the brakes incorrectly wasn't completely to blame for wearing out the brakes and the maker of the airplane should bear some of the blame. I disagree completely. That is the attitude that Thomas was ascribing to all Americans and I am an American and I don't share that attitude at all. If there is a correct means provided by the manufacturer to use the brakes, and the pilot isn't using that method, then the pilot is 100% to blame. Matt |

You clearly wrote that a pilot who was using the brakes incorrectly wasn't completely to blame for wearing out the brakes and the maker of the airplane should bear some of the blame. So what? What does that have to do with the question of liability lawsuits and a sense of personal responsibility? I disagree completely. Yes, of course you do. That is the attitude that Thomas was ascribing to all Americans and I am an American and I don't share that attitude at all. The problem here is that the "attitude" that you're making ignorant generalizations about has nothing to do with what I wrote. This thread had nothing to do with "liberals" or "conservatives" until you stuck your "take any chance to bash the other side" nose into it. If there is a correct means provided by the manufacturer to use the brakes, and the pilot isn't using that method, then the pilot is 100% to blame. I refer you to my question to Thomas about the satisfactory nature of the Wright Flyer for the personal aircraft market (which he conveniently ignored). You've started yourself down a slipperly slope, and the logical conclusion of your black & white view is ridiculous. Pete |

Morgans,
The things that stop cars and airplanes are called brakes, not breaks. Sorry, that one got mixed up. Now, gimme a brake, will ya? g -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |

Peter,
You see a connection that does not exist. Again: We disagree on that. And that's ok, for me. Apparently, it's not for you (see below). Tough luck. You may recall the lawsuit against the maker of vacuum pumps after the crash of an airplane. Same thing as your brake theory: The inherent design... Uh...you are really a piece of work. You opened the personal invectives with a direct accusation of my "American attitude", I didn't realize that saying "that's a very American way of looking at it" is an accusation or a personal insult. If so, I apologize - while being amazed. Hope you don't think anyone can take you seriously. Who's the piece of work now? Get used to the fact that there are ways to see things beyond yours. Oh, and you are indeed representing yourself quite nicely here. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
