You are morally opposed to the idea of these guys being killed for what they have been accused of but are OK with them being tortured eternally? Richards No, I think they deserve death but I don't think it's in hands of humans to judge and execute this. Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch

I'm against death penalty, even (if it is true) for pigs like this. I'm not religious but when I hear something like this I wish there would be something like hell where they can burn forever... Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch

And something else: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20060808.IRAQRAPE08/TPStory/TPInternational/America/ U.S. soldiers took turns raping Iraqi girl Investigator details how troopers drank, played cards, shot the victim and family members, then grilled some chicken wings RYAN LENZ Associated Press BAGHDAD -- American soldiers took turns raping a 14-year-old Iraqi girl, and one of them put a bullet through her head after killing her parents and five-year-old sister, an army investigator testified yesterday. The attack followed a session of whisky drinking and card playing during which five soldiers plotted the March 12 assault, criminal investigator Benjamin Bierce said. He cited details from a sworn statement by Specialist James Barker in which the soldier told how he and his comrades practised hitting golf balls before heading to the Iraqi teen's home 230 metres from their post at a traffic checkpoint. The soldiers then returned to their post, where Spc. Barker grilled up some chicken wings, Mr. Bierce testified. The testimony came on the second day of a hearing to determine whether the soldiers should stand trial in the rape-slaying of Abeer Qassim al-Janabi and the killing of her father, Qassim Hamza, her mother, Fikhriya Taha, and her sister, Hadeel Qassim Hamza. The killings took place in the town of Mahmoudiya. The rape and killings are among the worst in a series of cases of alleged misconduct by U.S. service members that have tarnished the country's military. Spc. Barker is accused along with Sergeant Paul Cortez, Private 1st Class Jesse Spielman and Private 1st Class Bryan Howard of rape and murder. Another soldier, Sergeant Anthony Yribe, is accused of failing to report the attack. Former private Steven Green was discharged from the army for a "personality disorder" after the slayings and was arrested in North Carolina in June on rape and murder charges. He has pleaded not guilty in federal court and is being held without bond. In his June 30 statement, Spc. Barker described playing cards and drinking Iraqi whisky mixed with an energy drink as the defendants plotted the attack. Mr. Bierce said Spc. Barker's statement made it clear that Pte. Green was persistent about wanting to kill some Iraqis and kept bringing up the idea. At some point, they decided to go to the house of Abeer, whom they had seen passing their checkpoint. Spc. Barker said the soldiers found the girl and her father outside their home. Pte. Spielman grabbed the girl while Pte. Green seized her father and took them into the house, Spc. Barker's statement said, and Sgt. Cortez and Spc. Barker followed them inside. Pte. Green led the father, mother and younger sister into the bedroom and closed the door, while the teenage girl remained in the living room with the others, Spc. Barker's statement said. Sgt. Cortez pushed the girl to the floor, lifted her dress and tore off her underwear while she struggled, Mr. Bierce said, citing Spc. Barker's statement. Sgt. Cortez appeared to rape her, then Spc. Barker tried to rape the girl, the statement said. Suddenly, the group heard gunshots, and Pte. Green came out of the bedroom holding an AK-47 rifle and declared: "They're all dead. I just killed them,'' according to the statement. Pte. Green then raped the girl while Sgt. Cortez held her down, Spc. Barker's statement said. Pte. Green picked up the AK-47 and shot the girl once, paused, then shot her several more times, Mr. Bierce said, quoting Spc. Barker's statement. Spc. Barker said he poured fuel from a kerosene lamp on the girl's body but did not say who set it on fire. The soldier's statement did not say whether Pte. Howard or Pte. Spielman participated in the rape, Mr. Bierce said. Another investigator, Gary Griesmyer, quoted Sgt. Cortez as telling him that the teenage girl was weeping and speaking in Arabic and that Spc. Barker told her to "shut up." Also yesterday, another soldier, Private Justin Watt, testified that Pte. Howard told him before the incident that Pte. Green, Sgt. Cortez and Spc. Barker had planned to rape a girl, and Pte. Howard was to be the lookout. "There's nothing I've read that says what to do if your buddies have raped and murdered a family," Pte. Watt said. Another investigator, Michael Hood, told the hearing he interviewed Pte. Spielman, who denied shooting or having sex with anyone in the house. Pte. Spielman was given a lie-detector test and passed, Mr. Hood said. Since the case became public last month, U.S. officials have said they were concerned it could strain relations with Iraq's new government if Iraqis perceive that the soldiers receive lenient treatment. The case already has increased demands for changes in an agreement that exempts U.S. soldiers from prosecution in Iraqi courts, and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has demanded an independent investigation.

Is it a big thing in the US Media? Here in Europe, the media is writing a lot about it. A witness (solder who was also with them) tell that they where bored, went over to a house where they knew that a 14 year old Irakian girl lives. While some of the solders raped the girl, another one went upstairs and killed her family. Then he came back down, also raped the girl and killed her afterwards. After this they all went back and grilled chicken... Fuckers! I know that these fucking mainicas don't represent the US Army but I hope they get punished for this. And I hope that no one tries to justify what they did. Edit to change title: it was an Irakian girl, not an Iranian... Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch

I agree with Nick, you do an unstable launch with a WS of a boloon and you will fight a few second and then you will fly. You do an ustable launch with a WS of a wall and chances are big that you die. That's a very big difference which will be in your head before you launch and does not make the things more easy. It's all about the first few seconds, once you fly it's al good... Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch

Where is yuri base when you need him. I'm sure he will explain it and proof it with help of mathematical explanation of the phisical laws... For myself it is not that important if it takes a second longer to reach terminal or not. When I jump I loose my feeling for time. On a terminal jump you jump, then first it seems that you don't fall at all, then it gets faster and louder and after some time the ground gets to grow bigger very fast and then you pull. I have no idea (and I don't care) after how many seconds the stages are. Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch

If you want to do 5 jumps a day it wont save you much time jumping with 2 rigs. You have to pack them both after 2 jumps and you only have to pack one after 4 jumps to do jump No 5. But after jump no 5 you will have to pack 2 rigs while your friends will already be drinking beer in the Horner...

Isn't it called a canopy???

I know you guys jump it because of the "wall rush" but I get enough kicks from seeing the ground come at me... :-) Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch

- to practice arials in a save way - to practice to pull low - to enjoy ground rush - to impress chicks - to have fun with friends But in my opinion it's not BASE Jumping, its low altitude Skydiving with a BASE rig... Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch

No I don't. But for me it's just an excuse. I don't like to wear my wedding ring (or any ring...). I started to take it of only for skydiving and then I sometimes "forgott" to put it on again and now I don't wear it at all anymore.

here are two pictures of peter. He is the one in the middle in picture "bild 153", on our way to norway. And in "peter" he is just a pretty boy... What many did not know, in his jung days, he was one of the world best climbers. He climbed the most difficult routes all over the world. Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch

They have found the bodies of Peter and his client but they could not yet get the bodies because of difficult conditions. We will miss Peter a lot. He was a great guy and had a lot of fun jumping and beeing in the mountains. The people that have known him will rember his laughing and his positive mind. A week before his accident he sent me a SMS telling me that he has just slept on top of the Materhorn and then jumped it the next morning. Peter is the one that jumped yellow ocean twice a day with crutches. He walked to the exit, left the crutches there and jumped. Then he would take another pair of crutches, walk again to the exit and jump again. In the evening he would walk a third time to the exit with crutches to pick up the other 2 pairs. Peter will always be in our mind. We had a lot of plans for this summer for "outer Lauterbrunnen" jumping. My next jump is for you Peter. Fly free brother!!!

I did 8 of the 29 listed things and and most of them (with exeption of 27 maybe) don't qualify for Jackass. BASE sometimes is funny in a morbid way... My wife once called me on my celphone and reminded me that I have to buy flowers for the party that we where invited that evening. I told her sure and ended the phonecall because I heard the helicopter coming that was about to pick me out of a wall after a 180 with cliff strike... I can trade that for my before sugested Number 30 Michi (#1068) hsbc/gba/sba www.swissbaseassociation.ch www.michibase.ch
