Rhetorical question

[Tyger]

He's just doing it to start arguements, I've known it since he started the questions... haha

Actually, it's more about starting discussions that don't involve "U SUX" and "Which is better, Gun 1 or Gun 2?"

And it's about being bored to no end because I'm still in recovery from surgery. You'll note I haven't said anything to flame either direction. It's about getting people to think, not argue.

i have another "rhetorical"(the word you were looking for was "hypothetical", champ) question for all you self-righteous aoers

hey, show some freakin respect. at the very least dont be such a smart *** to a respected member on the forum, mr. 85 posts. Tyger has been around much longer than you may last, and he'll keep on being around. Until you get alittle clout around here show alittle dignity.

Simplified thinking 101. If a team A or B is or isn't wearing said articles of clothing, but chooses to wipe with any article clothing. Team A or B knows one or the other is don't this, one has only one coarse of thinking. They have a high threshold of pain, so you must in order to achive your goal of winning and to cancel out the wiping factor, bonus ball them off the field.

The only way you're never going to get hit is by staying behind the net, not by "getting better." Some of us already don't suck and have learned to take every advantage we can get with our equipment.. the same way you wear lighter pads in football, better sneakers in basketball, and keep your skates as sharp as they can be in football.

Yes, but if you want to make that sort of comparison don't make it analogous to better sneakers in basketball...this is more like a built-in piston for the hoop that rejects the ball out of the net every once in a while. Fair? nah.

Oh yeah, I don't know any football players who sharpen their skates.

I'd actually get jersey B. I would not feel ok with myself if I wore jersey A. These better be cheap jerseys though, else I'd just wear a t-shirt as usual.

I would wear jersey B and then create paintballs that react to teflon upon contact and emit the odor of rotten parmesan cheese (omg smell it some time)
So, the real question is weither you want to win bad enough to really stink doing it?

[Lurker27]

Everyone here would take the best possible legal equipment.

Period.

how am i being disrespectful? i dont feel put down when people correct me, knowledge is power.

and i knew that someone would say "it doesnt prove anything if you win by wiping" as an answer to my question. thats why my question was hypothetical - in this case, there IS nothing to prove, because the two teams are identical.

knowledge is power.

Then you're about as powerful as the empty Pepsi can in my trash can.

He meant rhetorical you idiot.

Thats how.

rhetorical question
n.
A question to which no answer is expected, often used for rhetorical effect.

obviously not what he was looking for. he was expecting an answer.

[-=Squid=-]

Said by Tyger -

"I was wondering when someone would bring that up.

It just struck me as one of those things that I'd like to know, but I don't want to have my suspisions confirmed kind of things? Hense why it's rhetorical.

-Tyger"


You idiot.

Well the discussions evolve into arguements...

Hehe, no worries, I can understand why you're bored... hope you get better soon and start-up webdogradio again, I enjoyed watching those web clips... hell sometimes I'd stay up till 3-4 in the morning watching ones I'd already seen. So far the only one that hasn't worked for me was the anti-stick spray on the cleats, ofcourse instead of mud mine are caked in paint shell (indoor field, it's pretty funny actually, they are CAKED in shells from paint...)

[White_Noise]

squid seriously....before you call someone an idiot....look at what they said:

tyger says that he wanted to know, but didnt want his suspicions confirmed....hence he wanted an answer but didnt...

a rhetorical question is one asked solely to produce an effect: and that effect is to get everybody thinking about how far theyre willing to go to win, etc.

Thanks for speaking for everyone, but obviously that's not true. Many (myself included) would feel that such a piece of equipment should not be allowed and therefore refuse to use it.

A without a doubt

Not only does it give you the upper advantage but it allows you after the game to get those hits off easier so a ref doesn't confuse new hits with old hits.
