I bet a good lawyer might get some money out of the engineer and the construction company.

I blame you for that. Liberal are you?

Unfortunately the bus company will be sued and all of these kids will be taught it was the bus companies fault. No matter what happens, it is always someone else fault.

Just for fun. Lets replace the word guns with "small canopies" or an other item or activity that you all care about personally. Now, let me propose we look at this problem the same way that the anti-gun camp approaches this. Lets let people who are either against small canopies or know nothing about their use and/or misuse come up with new restrictions governing your use of your small canopy. How's that sit with everyone?

Take their guns,not mine.

I have yet to see a good skydiving movie.

I think he would be much happier at another boogie, any other boogie.

I can't believe no one called the police to stop this. http://www.woai.com/mostpopular/story/Armed-bystander-stops-stabbing-outside-school/6zTYMpy8pUOeyrbElEBOTQ.cspx SAN ANTONIO - A woman is in critical condition after she was stabbed outside her child's school Tuesday morning. The attack happened around 10:00 a.m. Tuesday outside the Bonham Academy on St. Mary's Street. Teresa Barron, 38, had just dropped off her child at the school when the child's father showed up, and the two got into an argument. The child's father, 38-year-old Roberto Barron allegedly then stabbed the woman several times in the upper body and neck area. Police say a bystander who happened to be a concealed handgun license holder pulled his weapon and ordered Barron to drop the knife. Barron surrendered and was taken into custody by the bystander and a school district officer. The woman was taken to San Antonio Military Medical Center. Barron was arrested for aggravated assault, and is in jail on a $150,000 bond.

Normally I love that phrase. It works so well in most cases. It doesn't work when you can hurt or possibly kill others like in this case though. Better to ask permission if you are going to possibly endanger others. This thread has give me a number of reasons not to attempt this, but the risk of physically harming anyone else seems completely insubstantial. I might well emotionally distress them, yes, and piss them off a great deal. But I don't imagine that the integrity or balance of a hot-air balloon is really comprimised when it loses, what, less than 10% of its load. Nor is it going to then be too light and drift off into space. Do you have a learning disability or a reading comprehension problem?

and the poor girl's back probably doesnt look all that lovely right now either. at least it's just your knees! Back? Butt,knees,hands,boobs,face. You must have boring sex.

This is horse shit. http://www.guns.com/pennsylvania-man-charged-reckless-endangerment-10531.html A thief’s stealing spree was stopped cold when a Pennsylvania man pulled his gun on the robber in Lower Yoder Township, a town about 60 miles east of Pittsburgh. So, what’s the good Samaritan getting for his act of bravery? A medal? A pat on the shoulder from the police? Nope -- he'll be getting a reckless endangerment charge, instead.

How many times did you do it before you decided it wasn't a good idea?

I think you misunderstood. He is stating that he served in the military and asking if the other person has. I'll save my opinion of the question.

Might wanna talk to the guys at The Farm... Seems to work out pretty damn well for them. 2 acres v/s 50 acres. Makes a difference.

No, worse case scenario it's a balloon without a self sealing top and the ballast change pops the top and you kill the rest of the people that are in the balloon. Aside from him already being a jackass if he did this.

So what are the training and concurrency requirements for a NY city cop?

I'd hit it with my fucking car.

St. Marys actually just got what they wanted, although a few year late. They were trying to sell the airport to developers about 5 yrs ago. I doubt there are any buyers now though. What a huge cluster fuck.

Not sure how they are in Canada about taking objects out of the aircraft but playing catch with a cue ball is fun. Make sure you have someone experienced with you. Don't throw the ball hard.

I'm assuming it has to be politically correct. A golden monkey on a small pedestal.

Where did you get the idea that King's Bay is Top Secret? As stated many times in this thread the jumpers landed on a field next to the cafeteria....not a threat to national security, just to the afternoon snack. Inside the wire means you are on the base without permission. At a nuclear base, every square inch is theirs to declare whatever they like. Whether you land on the baseball diamond ,or on top of a submarine, the navy security have a job to do. They could fill you full of bullet holesif they so chose, and walk away fully justified. I'm sure a determined terrorist would have no trouble learnig to skydive somewhere, come to a DZ and arrange an "accidental" landing inside a base. There would be hell to pay if security let them actually destroy or damage something. Everyone knows how rigid airport security is. Why would you think a nuclear naval base would be less stringent.... If the other side is playing dirty pool, if you want to fight them, you have to be clean. Raising the middle finger to their faces just because they aren't playing fair, totally compromises any chance you have of winning anything. Maybe it would have been an idea if the naval base was a potential alternate LZ, and approach to the base commander 7 years ago might have been beneficial......he might have even said yes!!!. And if not at least not objected strongly. I wonder how many times people have landed on the base in the past?. If its happened and been no hassle, the navy could have been an ally, or at least neutral. But not if they see you giving the finger to the city. I'm sure they aren't happy to be drawn into a shitfight, so its easy for them just to say no. It sounds to me like spotting isn't a DZ strongpoint.... Good points. One other thing to consider, As soon as this hit the news and the Navy was drawn into the spot light they had no choice but to take a stance and make a statement. Not surprising the stance that they chose. I wouldn't expect them to come out and say,"Ah, so a couple skydivers landed on our secure base. It's ok. No harm no foul. Y'all stop by any time."

AAHHHH!!!! Silly me thank you! I was wondering why! Thanks! Ok don't hold your breath but i think we just had a civilized discussion in the Speakers Corner. And you managed to make a post without talking about someones size or disrespecting someone. Holy fuck it's a new day.
