Uneasy Morality in paintball

I feel that our beloved game is in danger of becoming legislated out of existence. It seems more and more that what we see and hear about paintball is always cast in a bad light ; IE punks shooting people on the street, kids at bus stops, even the cops. Now uncle SAM has taken notice and that will lead to legislation and changes that can't be good for any of us.
People already think we are terrorist training camps, or are playing war and are some kind of weird bunch of people. Now it seems there is nothing but how fast can I shoot and how bad can I overshoot someone and becoming a master wiper is the norm, where has the honer for the sport gone? Is it a younger generation problem or what ? Last night I saw that there was going to be an article on the local news about paintball so I made sure to watch, turns out it was about some guy walking home from work and getting a drive buy to the eye from some punks good publicity huh. I urge action from field owner and players to stem the tide our sport is taking and try to put a positive spin on the sport at any chance you get. Lets nail the wipers, and teach players not to cheat play with honer and carry that mentality off the field and into the real world with them. Because common sense isn't all that common anymore, Changes are coming ladies and gents to our sports lets make sure we have some influence on that. These are the rants of an old school player where the game still means something.

Yea boss thats an "Old School Lament" where did the "HONOR" get too...Very sad indeed. I'v got to get redy for chruch but Ill be back.
Back from church...
Yea boss this newer generation hasn't been taught true values, like being honest, telling the truth has become pasea'. Thinking about others compassion has also fallen by the wayside. There are no genuine concequences for bad behavior. Time out dosn't work. The government meddling in the family has created a aura of fear for the parents. Children don't have to mind what parents say because if they misbehave and the parnets try to spank them then the Children and Familys Services will step in. Governmental intervention in the rule of the family has poisened a whole generation, into thinking that they can do what ever they want to whenever they want to. Does the cliche "NO FEAR" or "JUST DO IT" ring a bell it does with this adalosent generation. No fear of reprecusions of breaking rules or laws. Just do it well no matter what the out come we will have fun just doing it. Like shooting up a neighborhood with paintballs, or shooting little animals...Ha Ha Ha did you see how that cat jumped and ran...Adalosents who do thies kind of actions don't come to a paintball field and play cause there too chicken S%%T to be shot...but they don't mind inflicting pain or taking out an eye from some innocent bystander.
The world isn't going to change Its like Nuclear Radiation once its unleashed it will forever polliut our world. Thank our LIBERAL thinkers for the world they have given the next generation.

I honestly dont know what is wrong with this generation of paintballers. I am also in this group being only 20 but I have common sense to know not to abuse something such as paintball. I dont know why it is so hard for these kids to figure it out.

If they want to shoot someone so badly with a paintball gun, go to a field and play a game or two. It really isnt that hard and the prices arent that bad. I would say they can organize their own game in their backyard or something but the way these kids are, they will probably do something stupid.

All I know is they better get their act together.
