Its simply a common case of ignorance."Men think they think upon great politcal questions, and they do; but they think with their party, not independently; they read its literature, but not that of the other side; they arrive at convictions, but they are drawn from a partial view of the matter in hand and are of no particular value. They swarm with their party, they feel with their party, they are happy in their party's approval; and where the party leads they will follow, whether for right and honor, or through blood and dirt and a mush of mutilated morals."

Use statistics. If it's injury they are worried about, some paintball publication (can't remember which one) did a neat compilation of injury rates among diff sports including paintball. Paintball had by far the lowest injury rates. They shouldn't even consider eye injuries since those are stupid people and stupid people seem to account for extremes in almost every statistical analysis.Chew your food before you swallow and you can be president someday too!Comment

I think I read that same article. I remember something to the effect that more injuries occur in bowling than in paintball.
