Here‘s a little sample:
whats wrong with that? even if those cadets have their license, doesnt mean they have a car to drive anytime they need one, car‘s are expenisive, an some people only drive their parent‘s car when it‘s no in use, etc
i hope i didn‘t come off as anti-cadet, like i said, i was a cadet and i still help out with my old unit coaching the biathlon team (no i don‘t haze the fat kids). i was making fun of the site because i feel it‘s administered by the type of people who keep the Canadian Cadet Movement from effectively turning out intelligent, confident leaders that it is meant to. these would be micromanager-type CIC officers that lack the trust to allow the cadet NCOs to have the types of significant responsibilities that allow them to develop leadership, maturity and resillience (don‘t get me wrong i‘m not saying all CICs are like this, but there are enough of these around that it is a noticable problem). when i was posting in that forum the moderators were a lot more active trying to tone down arguments in debates, which i thought was more of that same micromanaging, and in this case it stunted the forum members‘ right to properly voice their oppinions. so when i read the quotes listed and took a brief look into the site, i did not see the lengthy debates i was used to seeing there a few years ago. my conclusion was, as i had stated above, that anything with an opinion was phased out and replaced by this griping banter. in any case, i returned to the site today to find some evidence of this opinion-supression i had experienced, but was pleased to find long, intelligent and, most importantly, umolested debates that i did not see on my first visit. so i guess the site has since changed for the better, and my last post was embarassingly hasty. so i stand corrected.
