so to each his own, this is a public forum, and noone should feel put down by her comments when everyone does have their own experiences.
LeisaP:
If you interpreted my summarizing the military service requirements and the rules and regulations regarding why the PGR and other entities (including government and private employers) in Mexico are able to request of proof of military registration in Mexico as offensive, then I apologize.
That being said, please don't misattribute me.
I try to chime in here periodically to make people's lives a bit easier as they go through a trying time. That was my impetus in answering gricelanora's question about redoing medical exams proactively by sharing the facts and a path that could save her husband a month + in their process. I referred her to the CIC rules so she had them available if she needed them and help her feel comfortable proceeding.
My aim was similar back in August when you were expressing anger and frustration with the situation your husband was facing with military registration and why I took the time to write out a factual explanation of military registration in Mexico (post
here). I thought that understanding the context and laws involved might help make the process feel less alien and arbitrary and could help temper your resentment of the situation. It would have been easier and faster to just point you to the website, but when I had previously given you links for passport information for your husband, you had asked for additional guidance and had shared that it was difficult to work your way through the website that outlined the rules and enabled you to make an appointment since you had to rely on translation software.
I have never shared my opinion on the military with you. Frankly, my opinion is irrelevant to a factual explanation. I didn't try to clear up your misattributions at the time because I figured people could distinguish between what I had actually said and what you claimed to be my opinion.
Regarding ‘lifestyle' I don't know what you are referring to. I don't recall ever commenting on your lifestyle and, frankly, don't know enough about it to have an opinion.
Let me take the opportunity to apologize to the thread as a whole. In attempting to provide the information to gricelanora to save her husband some processing time, it somehow surfaced a misunderstanding from back in August which created noise and distracted from the purpose of the thread.
How about we go back to sharing knowledge, advice, and suggestions and supporting those who are going through what can seem like a heartless process while one is in the midst of it?
