Ok, I'm officially in the camp against Credit Card kids playing painball

[Automaggot68]

Jeebus, I'm really only jealous of anyone with a job, Lol. I've been working my rear off to one, and it seems that no one here hires under 18, and it's just my luck that I'm only 17, haha. In school I've got a 3.5-3.6 GPA at the moment, so at least my car insurance (for a car that I dont have, HAHA!) is lower than a regular student's. Because I'm on independant study, I have 40+ Hours free each week, so that of course would be perfect for a job.
Haha..I'm in San Diego, The Clairemont Area..if anyone can hook me up with a Job...feel free to do so, I'm a hard worker, and well....I need a greater responsibility than my current schoolwork.

Establishments applied at,and turned down..
Albertson's
Vons
Blockbuster Video
Carl's Junior
I've yet to recieve ANY notice from Mcdonalds
Michaels Arts and Crafts
Petco
Petsmart
Chuck E. Cheese's
Mom and Pop Laundromat (Korean place, lol)

Yeah,sorry for rambling on. I agree with with Miscue, I need a new Mommy.
I Attend Class twice a week,with the son of Brian, whom owns Borderland Paintball (The store,unsure of the field itself) and I havent worked up the muster to ask him if the shop needs any help or not, I dont wanna seem like I'm just trying to use him for my own benefit. Blargh.

Mr T: ", EAT CHO GREENS, I NEED WORK!"

i'm 14 and i got an x-mag...
but i didnt get mommy or daddy to get it for me like those spoiled kids.

i hate seeing 10 year old kids with high end guns that don't know how to use em.

[QUINCYMASSGUY]

suicidal

Suicidal, I just had to note you ARE the one who got his finger stuck on a barrel... twice... with less than an hour between incidents... so I'm sure you can use your XMag well but for your personal safety I recommend you get someone else to clean it for you from now on.

Just kidding with you, I found the thread pretty funny and we all have our funny and embarrassing moments, so I hope you don't take offense. Just laughing with you.

[SuiciDal Sn Y p ER]

lol yea that was pretty funny. it's one of those stupid things in my life.

[Toranaga]

I don't believe that I am spoiled to the extent of the stories I have read in this thread, but my father does pay for air and the cover price at my field ($50 all, I know its a lot, but that is becuase it is BYOP, so i cna get cheap paint, and I geuss it evens out).
When I first was interested in buying a paintball gun, after multiple games, I spent about a month researching different beginner guns. I made some stupid desicions, and got a Spyder Flash LCD, and a few ups, like barrel and 12 vlt X - board revvy. I was able t osell this, get a reasonable deal, and go into the world of the Automag.

All paint and gear I bought on my own, using Bar Mitzvah money, allowence money (I never buy things and so I save up a lot of money).
I am realy happy that I am fortunate enugh to buy the things that I have, even at the age of 15.

[Woodsmen]

Its not the spending of mommy and daddy's money, If I saw the same scenario with the kids walking in and telling the clerk exactly what they were looking for after alot of research and thanked their mom afterwards, and took care of their guns and got in to the game I wouldnt have a problem. Its not that they're spoiled, its that they're inconsiderate and really dont care most likely.

[SyntaxError]

Yeah but you know what's funny?

None of those kids can play real ball, nor have any potential to play real ball, so who cares? I know kids like that and it pisses me off sometimes too, but when I remind myself that I work hard and now play Amateur level paintball and can cap those kids upside the head no problem, I just smile and feel content.

Even though I'm 15, I run into people like this and agree that they're just as bad as you think they are. But then I remind myself that hey, I earned where I am today and what I use, and there's a reason that companies put their logos on my jersey, and that's enough for me.

So get out on the field and shoot them in the face, thats all I can tell you.

[DiRTyBuNNy]

well..i feel like a credit card adult sometimes..but oh well..it comes with the fact that there are so many awesome paintball guns..and not enough room on the card for all of them..

[JT2002]

well...i still rely on mommy to buy stuff online. I don't have a credit card =P

but the only stuff i ask her to buy for me is just a macro line hose, some paintballs, and when i first started i asked her to get me a co2 tank.

for all the expensive stuff i had to get myself. (well...birthday money and graduation money helped out a bunch)

[Crazy]

Awwww

Your just all mad cause your families are poor. I like how the last gun picked to get was an emag... even though those kids knew nothing about paintball, they were smart enough to pick a sypder up before an AGD marker...

Jealousy and Anger are two very different things. Mad because some of us are 'Poor'? Or jealous because some of us are less fortunate,than to have a parental figure willing to blindly perchase us things,which we have no comprehension of? That not only unfair of you to say that, but also ignorant. Or does that only apply to families of whom have professions that bring in under a set amount of money, per month,or year? Or can it apply to those of whom that work their rears off,trying to make money, but instead of spending it, making their children earn their money,( or allowence) and not spending it every which way?
About the mag, how was it smart to pick up the spyder before the mag? I'll give you the fact that it was an electropnuematic,and not a simple tourney-level semi, but from what he said, they simply walked in, picked up what looked 'Cool', paid and left. That still shows no level of intelligence, just what looks cool. Your post however did show a large amount of ignorance...from -my- standpoint,that is. Then again, what do I know? I play with a Tippmann.

its like having a ferrari for your first car...u cant just go from drivers ed to driving a ferrari..there are stepping stones that u have to use first... i.e. Crappy Cars..then u get more experience driving, then u get the ferrari and get the chicks.

thats one of the most unintelligent statements ive seen in a while on this forum.

most people on here arent poor (in face the resident lazyman/hypocrite was banned) and upstanding citizens and find it upsetting to see how a parent can have such disregard for a childs development and if you cannot see that then you have alot of growing up to do.
