My Sad story...that got better

[ThePatriot]

I am all psyched because i think i am getting the nitro mag package from paintballgear.com from my grandparents for christmas. I had asked my mom to make sure i was getting it and she wasnt sure about it...but she found out NO IM NOT, because supposedly my grandparents think it shoots harder than any other gun and can damage or kill somebody(they are pro paintball though...they bought my 10 year old brother his gun, they support me playing, they say its a healthy sport) but i was very depressed when i found this...after i explained to them about how a paintball going 300 fps out of any gun is still going 300fps and will still hit at whatever speed it is at a certain distance, she didnt quite grasp this concept. So i explained to her using cars, i said a new z3 BMW roadster and a 1960 volkswagen beetle, both traveling down the road at 60 MPH...if they were to hit a wall, they would hit with the same force, the only difference is that the interal parts of the bmw are much better and nicer and have more potential to do better things, she then got it.

Later, my mom reported to me that she was caught secretly talking to my father about reconsidering the whole paintball gun thing, in the event that she could convince my grandfather to shell out the dough(no offense meant here to anyone, but my grandparents r rich and my grandfather is jewish so he is very cheap...this is not some racist remark i kno from first hand experience, and hey hes my grandfather so i have the right to say this, while my grandmother isnt) ne way...we have to convince him to shell out the money out of his millions, which will not be ez, his wallet has more defneses than fort knox, but i know i can do it b4 christmas...

No offense taken. You could have said he was cheap, him being jewish would only matter because its a christmas present. And why is that a sad story?

[X-Plosive]

would they hit with the same force? what about the difference in weight? As far as your grandparents go good luck. ThePatriot, you know what the chinese say? Beware what you wish for........

[ThePatriot]

why would i beware getting a mag x-plosive? it makes no sense like those chinese proverbs.. and when i explained the car thing i said imagine they are paintballs, i kinda forgot about that one...

[TheBigRaguPB4L]

i think he meant it was sad because he thought he wasn't getting the mag.

You're mad because you were expecting a Christmas present from your grandparents and now you're not getting it?


I suppose you're expecting a huge sum in their will too no?

[ThePatriot]

i must type in a way you people cannot understand...allow me to rephrase this perhaps, well i gtg to school in like 10 mins but i can do this

My grandparents were not going to buy me it because they thought it was more powerful etc....so i explained to them that the mag has no more power than a regular gun, just the internals are better and it is more consistent. So by the end i still thought i wasnt getting it but my mom reported that my grandmother was considering getting me it...and thats why it was sad, i wasnt getting it, but then it got better because i might be getting it...now do you people understand?

my grandparents r rich and my grandfather is jewish so he is very cheap

Saying that just ain't right. I hope you get a lump of coal.

[skipdogg]

i see where your coming from. I hope you get the mag!!
hell, you should hit up gramps for an E-Mag extreem or something. Tell him it can fly

[ThePatriot]

skippdog now thats funny...and russ man, i state it as it is, another thing i realized all the rich people in jupiter island near me with like 5 million dollar homes are jewish, and i dont kno why...(one other thing russ, the fact i stated that means i am not discriminating at all...i treated him as an equal person, if i were to say he was cheap and christian, u wouldnt have a problem, HES SO EQUAL to me i can quite easily state hes cheap w/o worrying about the whole jewish thing)

My post had nothing to do with your relative's religion or race. It has to with RESPECT. You should respect your grandparents, as you would your parents. Making that comment is in poor taste, and is rude. Your a bad boy. No presents for you.

[fenris69]

yup

yeah...im actually sick of that association...i get em from time to time and im just horrible with my money, i spend it on everything and everyone freely. you wonder why all the homes are owned by jews? very strong community sense actually...when your a minority you tend to gravitate towards eachother. why have a chinatown otherwise? but seriously...show a little respect son...the mans got money because hes probly worked like a dog and is smart with it. if you needed 50 grand for schooling? im sure hed be the first one to lay it out.

so yeah...no sympathy. this comin from a poor jew :P

btw happy channukah everyone!

the z3 and beatle hitting at 60 and having the same force wouldn't really work because force= mass x acceleration so because they have different masses they wouldn't have the same force. so that could be why your grandparents won't get it for you... haha. anyways good luck getting it.

[covadsucks]

Geez...Give the kid a break. He is just excited that's all. Religion has nothing to do with being tight or loose with spending...Let's just hope we all get what we want...

[AngelBoy]

Good luck with the new mag dude. Why dont you ask ur grandpa if he'll get me an extreme while ur at it ?
