need help with parents

[behemoth]

Why does your father insist on being such a tool?

Ask him for me, and then post here.

If he smacks you, punch him in the baby-maker.

Sport "A" started off as a war simulation, and today averages around 200 injuries per 1000 participants yearly.

Sport "B" started off as an altered version of capture the flag, and today averages somewhere around .2 injuries per 1000 participants yearly.

Sport "A" is lacrosse, sport "B" is paintball.




/or you could just kill your parents and sell their organs.

I concur. Hard to believe any parents are so protective. My folks let me do almost anything as long as there was little chance of them being sued just to get me out of the house.

I dont see the humor, i gave him a valuable piece of advice.

Advice hell, you should see what I did to get my Emag!

He is 15 going on 16 and will be able to drive himself, and he might already have a moped.

I do not think that is the issue, he lives in his parents house, so he is on the hook by an uncomfortable place as of now. I would (as stated above) present a logical argument, and get Pops out on the feild for a day to change his tune.

If it helps any, I wrote a gigantic essay just this semester on paintballing, when my prof. issued the guideline of "a persuasive paper about a topic that people have misconceptions of." Just to let you know, it got a straight A, and it convinced one of my best buddies' parentals to let him play. All kinds of interesting information and statistics in there. I could email it to you if you would like, and you could let your parents read it. Lemme know...

P.S., In my research I found you are more likely to get hurt walking out of your front door than playing paintball. For real. I also found out that breathing, running, and yelling give you cancer, so maybe your mom is right...oh, wait...

just incase this isnt BS
try to play off the whole father son bonding thing and get him to come w/ you. might be kind of hard, since hes trying to ban paintball, but it might work. one thing dads like more then being a pain in the butt is trying to be a good parent (trying or thinking, as aposed to being). just make sure to chose your field carefuly, you dont want him to have a bad time, so try to avoid stupid people.

Is your birthday coming up soon...or you could take your dad for father's day. I know it is a little ways away but that is just a thought.

BS----I have heard that cancer thing from multiple people's parents. I have also heard the dying from being shot right in the heart between beats. That one sounds stupid but it does happen to baseball players around the age of 12 or so. I have never heard of it with older people but who knows.

You really just have to take him to the field. Tell him that he doesn't have to enjoy it or be happy, but he has to atleast pay attention. Maybe have him talk to a ref or the field owner. Whatever you do, don't be like 'See I told you you were wrong!!!!!!' when the ref says the exact opposite of what your dad thinks.

[ahellers]

if he says no to going with you just through a painball at him every 20 seconds for as long as it takes
