More bad cred for paintball

[MagVak]

I've been around the paintball scene for around 10 years now. Never heard of a city or state outright banning paintball. Perhaps Wisconsin is a bit more removed from the major epicenters of where paintball got started. I've never even seen a negative article about paintball from around here that wasn't steeped in truth. There's never been any laws written limiting paintball participants ability to enjoy the sport.

Okay, don't do anything then. Watch your fields close, feel the effects of anti-paintball legislature and avoid any effort when it comes to your chosen sport. Because the liberal media is so powerfull that you can't do anything about it. Don't attempt to get involved. Whatever you do, completely allow your rights to be stripped away because what good are they anyway? Whatever.

The point of outlawing guns (or "gun control") is that if there are a lot less guns then it will be a lot harder for "outlaws" to get guns. Whether it works or not is up for debate. Personally I think gun control means using both hands...

It is a very good theory indeed. I mean, it worked during the Prohibition (sp?), and it continues to work with drugs like Cocaine and Marijuana so it should work for guns...

Gun control can also mean the responsibilisation and education of owners.

You have to have liscence to operate a car. Right? Can't just go out and buy, then fly a jet.

Remove the pathetic hyperbole from the Right Wing Media and they'd have precious little to say.

Well, yeah, but that could be said about a great many people. Like nearly every news cast since Walter Cronkite retired, and anything ever said by a politician, and lawyers, don't get me started on lawyers. . . . .

When it comes to exaggeration and BS, there isn't a clean soul on TV or in the public eye today. I see no way to slant it one way or the other without simply disregarding things.

Welcome to the Liberal Media. Anything to do with guns they want to take away any way they can. Be careful how you vote...and join the NRA.

Good thing you bring that up. Because there's no conservative slant from Fox "News" or anything, it's all crazy liberals pushing their agenda to demonize paintball. And joining the NRA to support paintball is a great way to legitimize the sport as nonviolent and prove that paintball markers aren't dangerous weapons like guns.

C'mon, Tuna, you can do better.

[Miscue]

See, now that is the great thing about opinion. You can have one, and Tuna can have one, and they don't have to be the same. Neither is right or wrong, because it's just what you or he thinks. That's all.

I'm not a big fan of this philosophy... it only works in certain situations. Otherwise it's just a mentally lazy way of thinking about things. Two people can have different opinions... and one opinion is better than the other.

Comment: 2+2=4 Response: Well, that's just your opinion... and opinions are neither right nor wrong.

...

Situation: Two guys stuck on a deserted island. They have a picture of Cindy Crawford... and neither knows who she is... or have ever seen her picture.
Opinion 1: Most American males would find her attractive.
Opinion 2: I disagree.

Now... because they are stuck on a deserted island... they cannot test either opinion. But it should be clear that Opinion 1 is better than Opinion 2.
