Bad things always happen when I play

How are those AO meets?

more than just people from AO come though right?

Well, I can only speak for the one I attended. The field was open to anyone, but nearly everyone there was an AO member or signed up soon after.

The prices were good, the competition and gameplay was wonderful since there was no cheating or the usual arguments and fights you see from less mature people at the fields. It was the most fun playing paintball I've had in a long time, and it was in an atmosphere where you could bring the whole family without fear of the little ones hearing dirty words or people arguing over hits and stuff. It was paintball played the way it was intended to be, and that is fun. I quit playing tournaments for two reasons, first because I suck, and secondly because it just wasnt fun competing against other teams for a trophy. I'm just in it for fun, and to me if you take the focus off of that then there isn't any point to the game. Its kind of like professional sports, some play for the love of the game and others cheat and foul mouth refs and get paid lots of money to do it.

I wish natural selection could just weed these idiots out.

Pissing in the Gene Pool should be a crime against humanity.

It's claimed a few of 'em, but IMO not nearly enough

I often ponder about such a filtering system...

Well, in that regard, human intelligence is a double-edged sword. Our intelligence, which has allowed us to succeed to the point we have, also makes life so easy and risk-free (relatively speaking), that people of "lesser stock" get by on the coat-tails of the more apt.

its all because the kid was not taught to fear and respect that escalator!!!..

hehe...no seriouly though, incidents like this realy errrk me...1) if kids are younger they need to be taught that paintball guns are NOT wepons, but means by witch we play a sport that has us all wraped in mental disorder thriving for the next rush of Co2 to fill our nostils and paintballs to be sprayed (A.K.A. addiction)...2) I don't have all the fact of the even but i think they should have been more supervised being that young especial if someone is know to have a temper problem, witch could quite possible be the case here, not that anyone could possible plan for this or stopped this...

the paintball community should release a statement to the papers that we do not want actions such as this or teach them, and that the kid should have the book thrown at him..


p.s. where in florida are you at slipknot...i'm in the greater tampa area...if your anywhere close maybe i can help u find a field closer.

I didn't think many people had seen Mallrats. Maybe no one else knows what you are talking about ,but it is a pretty good point. Younger kids should be taught to fear and respect their markers.

Paintball guns, when used to shoot someone's ear off are weapons. Just like if I stab you with a Pop-Tart, it becomes a weapon.

Yep pretty much anything could be called assault with a deadly weapon. Although I know a stick of butter couldn't. Unless it was frozen of course.

[paint magnet]

Even a melted stick of butter could be a weapon

Make someone really fat eat it and they die of a heart attack or something. And there's always the possibility you could melt it and drown them in it. Or shove it down their throat and make them choke on it. Ok, I'll stop now, I'm starting to scare myself

Yep, nail clippers could be a deadly weapon too. Well the airline industry thinks so N E ways. I appreciate them upping our security but come on. Just imagine 10 guys trying to hijack a plane with nailclippers. What would you do? B hotch slap the guys right.

What a strange world in which we live.
