That's stupid as hell, Jesus Christ whats next.

Banning paintball/laser tag, etc. wouldn't do shit.

This is the same as when they blamed Marilyn Manson and violent video games as the reason for Columbine. I play violent games and listen to profane music but you don't see me wanting to shoot up a local mall.

People want to find something to blame other than little "Timmy".

As everyone knows laser tag guns are perfect practice for using an actual weapon, the recoil, noise and effect are nearly identical.

I've played Paintball.. Its lots of fun and I feel there is nothing wrong with it.. One bad person should not put the bad mouth on something that many others enjoy

I have done Paintball (hurts like a *****) and no way does it effect people like that.

Let us try and think about it from another perspective.

People run around trying to shoot and mock "kill" each other. This activity is regarded as fun.

Then look at some of the computer games like Grand Theft Auto or Manhunt etc, in these games the player runs about shooting innocent people, often in very graphic ways. This activity is regarded as fun.

Can we not in fact consider these acts to be dysfunctional, perhaps psychologically they indicate a disturbed mind which has tendency to violence.

I think Paint Ball is a little different but in regards to games like GTA...why on earth is running around murdering people considered good fun? Surely something has gone wrong here...or is it simply the human mind's natural violence and animal bloodlust being exported through a suitable medium?

I can't tell you why others play it, but I love the freedom the vast city gives you. The missions are interesting and challenging, and the story and especially extra content is amazing. I don't think that it makes you more likely to kill people. It seems to me that it is unrelated, the fact that you understand that there's no moral wrong in play acting and killing electronig data doesn't make you more likely to take lives. There's an obvious difference, and most people playing those games never do anything like that, because their moral compass isn't screwed up to begin with.

Paintball seems like an orderly, nondestructive way to channel aggressive emotions and excess energy away from something that might end poorly. Jung would might say that paintball allows for a controlled release of the shadow's excess aggression, preventing more calamitous outbursts later.

No we can't. Playing violent games is pretty common and does not consistently make one's life difficult, thus not abnormal from a psychological perspective. The desire to cut loose is also not dysfunctional for exactly the same reasons.

Yup, more stupidity.

The world is full of stupidity. There are so many stupid people that we could actually do without 2 or so billion and it would be a much better place.

It's up to the individual to recognize the difference between a video game and real life. If someone is so ****ed up that they think they are actually a Groves street homey and decide it's OK to do the things that Carl does, then banning the games will do nothing. The same person will get the same message by watching Boyz N the Hood.

When are government and idiot lobbying groups going to realise that games/music/films don't cause the kind of underlying mental issues that makes people go out and kill a load of their classmates?

So far 100% of the people who have committed these types of killings and have been caught alive afterwards have been shown to have serious psychological problems.

Yes they owned violent video games/films/themed music but so do a massive proportion of people today. The reason they're not going out killing people is they don't have psychological problems to begin with.

If there's 1 thing that's garaunteed to irk me no end, it's stupid reactionary bullshit like this. I guess it's just cheaper and easier than dealing with the ACTUAL problem.

Groves Street 4 life, niggah.

I think its society and its effect on certain individuals which triggers these things off. Maybe certain games or violent movies are a small trigger in some way, but the problems lie somewhere else.

People are hypocrites, shithead parents in particular. Everyone's always looking for a scapegoat. Video games and paintball are easy things to blame. Take them away from the equation and I guarantee you nothing will change until people stop doing ****ed up shit and until dumbass parents stop ignoring, denying or being oblivious to the fact that their child has issues. There are enough telltale signs with this shit nowadays. It's like saying capital punishment will lower the crime rate. It's a ****ing bandaid used to satisfy the parents stupid enough to believe that video games or laser tag are responsible. You have to get to the root of the problem and that require people to take their head out of their asses. But that's a bit too much work for many.

We should really go back further, to the source of violent behavior, ban cap-guns, actions figures, any and all cartoons that hint at violence, hell, let's completely demasculinize boys from infancy onward.

That should fix everything, if we're going to blame-shift.

Paintballing should not suffer because of a school shooting. They are unconnected, even if the shooter enjoyed paintballing. If paintballing and playing violent games makes a psychologically unstable person more likely to commit violent acts, then don't like the disturbed play violent video games.

Well with no testosterone men really would be less violent.

They'd be women, basically.

The porshe is the best, fast speeds achieved quickly and the low hanging nose makes the bastards go airborne. The Range Rover Sport is also a good one for pedestrian smashing.

this reminds me when i was a kid some kids were playing Lazer Tag in theyre backyard. their neighbors called the police. the fuzz arrived.
one of the cops was walking around the house gun drawn. a kid
popped around the corner with Lazer in hand and the cop loaded him with six rounds and killed him. as a result the cop was given councilling and Lazer Tag was banned. this is where the law came from that toy guns cannot look like real guns.

I bet all these kids who go out and kill their classmates and random murderers in general all grew up drinking milk.

We should ban milk. If 100% of the people who commit murder all drank milk, there must be a connection.

Even women have testosterone in their systems....they'd be less than women with less brain function and an increased risk of heart disease and prostate cancer.

Also, something I find interesting, women who are test. levels below that of normal experience increased libido when test. is brought back to normal levels.

I see what you did there. That is the best counter-argument I've seen. Well done.

meh, I can't claim credit. It's the old, old legalize weed position.

people say marijuana should be illegal because it is a gateway drug. While it's not chemicly addictive itself nor causes any physical harm, it leads to harder drugs. 90% of all cocaine and heroine users started with marijuana.

the counter to that is ofcourse, ok.....90% of these heroine addicts started with weed, 100% of them started with milk. why not just criminalize milk?

Exactly.

In fact we should get everything banned, knifes, forks...spoons are ok...chop sticks are dangerous.
Ban smoking, drinking, having any kind of fun, ban weird sex, anal sex (everyone knows that produces mass rapes and so forth), ban TV and and video games - except pet society, but that should be controlled as it could cause people to be cruel to animals.

Fatty foods should be banned, tall buildings should not have roof access in case there is a mass pushage-off-buildings rampage, windows should be made so that they cannot be completely opened in any building.

Burn any books that say anything bad about anything. Internet should be controlled and music which uses certain words should be banned. Movies which show violence should be banned and people who made them arrested.

That should easily solve all societies problems. Forever.

...

Why is there a rise in an over-involved states?
Everything is getting some kind of restrction or a ban. It is getting ridiculous.

The movie Equilibrium had the right idea. Ban anal? The horrors, what would you do.

People blame-shifting and shit politicians catering to the nonsense for votes. When really, some people are just born ****-ups, or dare I say, parents didn't do a proper job, na, can't be that.

They're banning paintball? As if banning dodgeball wasn't hurtful enough.
Governments need to focus on important things. Just because laser tag and paintball makes it look like you have a gun doesn't mean it'll convince everyone to shoot real guns at people. It's not paintballs fault, it's not laser tags fault, it's yours.

It's not paintballs fault, it's not laser tags fault, it's yours. There's quite a difference though. They didn't ban paintball, they banned it from being forced on children in public schools, you can still indulge in hitting your friends with balls on your own time. Though not little ones with paint in them...at least not in Germany.

I wonder if there are statistics about how many paint ball participants have gone loopy and shot some folk, or even shot any one at all.

Germans.........

WTF, we all play-em

Good god, they might as well ban other things too. I suggest we ban all things that involve violence while we're at it: violent sports (football, hockey for example), action movies, violent videos (RPG, Fighting series, any involving violence), books (especially classic ones), etc.

I mean really do we, our society, and our government officials need to be watching an android from the future murder a bunch of people even if it's to save the world? Or some demon by the name of Freddy killing kids in their dreams? Or Psycho? And please to hide behind the "classic" and "artistic" argument. Let's ban it all. Then us and our elected officials can enjoy romance movies made by Mathew McConaughey while our children can enjoy the Teletubies.

I remember in the 80s/90s they want to ban D&D because a few kids tried pulling off that stuff in real life.

How can you "try D&D in real life"? Images of people covered in bat guano and sulfur spring to mind but that's more icky than scary.

LARPing?

As that cat said above, LARPing. But that wasn't around (or popular) back then.

IIRC, some kid offed himself because his character died and he couldn't take the stress. So the parents/community blamed AD&D.

Some anti-D&D crusader wrote an article that demonized D&D; made a list of what D&D taught kids to do, list was hilarious, here are a few things I remember the guy stated as fact:

Homosexuality
Bestiality
Necrophilia
Sodomy
Incest
Rape
S&M
Devil Worship

Ive never participated in the sport myself so it´d be wrong to judge.
I was wondering if the similarity's & general inspiration of the people who play these games makes them potential massacre lunatics?

And the question is whats next, banning school kids from using water pistols?

Just hope the idea doesn´t catch on in other countries, the gun lobby would love it in the US for example.

No. I understand the thread and the article around which it is centered, but Nemesis X seems to be blurring the lines of "banned" sports in two different countries. This is why I asked the question of him and not you. When I ask you a question, I'll do so directly.

Obviously not.


Blurring the lines or not, it certainly has the same look and feel.

You should leave the thinking to other people who can do it better for you. Either that, or chose things that are easier to pontificate about. I wouldn't have put up a smart ass answer to your post had your point been legit. Take note.

If you were aware that I was not speaking to you, then I assume you would stop answering a question that was not addressed to you.

As soon as you morph into the reality and body of the person to whom I asked the original question then we'll have a need to debate what you meant when you answered a question directed at someone else, at the time.

Well, he obviously thinks Germany and the U.S. are the same countries, doesn't he? He's such a moron, man. I can't believe how stupid. *Laughs the pommy laugh*

Does that seem realistic to you at all? Don't you see how your lame excuse for pontification when you are obviosly bored, fails at actually being pontification and just makes you seem dense because you failed to extrapolate the actual meaning in his post, nay, you refused to acknowledge it for the sole purpose of pontification whilst flying in the face of colloquial context.


Here are absolutes for you:

When someone, especially in America, says "they" when talking about something negative, it is usually "the man" or aliens.



And just because I know you were take that out of context and have no clue what happened there, that last part was a joke.

Of course, you'll be opposed to what I posted. No shock there. That's your nature. I find his point to be incredibly weak.

And you both realize that you misinterpreted my post for meaning that no Klingon's were mentioned, when my post wasn't like that at all, right? There was simply no mention it destroying 47 birds of prey. I'm not sure where you got that from.

Yes, there simply was. I got it from the movie, because I paid attention and chewed my popcorn quietly with my mouth closed.

I agree with the banning of paintball

because after i got shot from a couple of guys, they decided to shoot me in the back of the head when i was already down


hurt like a *****

shot em in the foot tho

fuk paintball, it's always been about airsoft, homies. Airsoft is the way to go.

HAHAAH hell no!


even worse, we use to play at the park with our airsoft pistols and this one shot gun we had that hurt like a bbbbbb


now that i think about it.. if a cop had drivin by or anyone saw us we would have been shot

No, I don't think that he thought that, I think he missed that it was in Germany, and just assumed it was in the US. Probably not even reading the initial post.

No, you just went hypocritical. And did something much worse than what the guy ever would have done, even assuming that he wanted to feel good about himself by putting the guy down, you redid it manifold, trying to get a rise out of insulting and degrading the guy as thoroughly as you could. So maybe we dislike the same attitude in people, just that we have different amounts that set us of, in my case, your post, drenched in douchebaggery.

yeah, but i bet you felt like a big boy that day, huh? The only thing that sucks with Airsoft, other than the occasional misunderstood police killing is that it's so expensive to play. I had to buy like 19 clips for my handgun, on top of the price of green gas. Yeah, i could have been spending that money on better things, like weed, school or cars lol. Yeah, if you play with airsoft guns, Whatever you do, don't paint black over the orange tips...,cops hate that

Nah. You're just siding against me. He obviously didn't think something that stupid. He's not that much of a moron.

No, you just went hypocritical. And did something much worse than what the guy ever would have done, even assuming that he wanted to feel good about himself by putting the guy down, you redid it manifold, trying to get a rise out of insulting and degrading the guy as thoroughly as you could.

You didn't pay attention very much, did you? I was nice about it at first. I even quoted the opening post to show clearly who "they" were. I could tell he was being a dick because of his posts in other threads...so I alluded to that too. But I was going to leave things as they were.

When he turned into a total ***** about things, I figured I would respond in kind.

You have done similar things in the past. There is nothing wrong with it.

Your failure to follow a conversation has lead you to that false conclusion. It's okay, thinking is not for everyone.

If you're not American and you use the term douchebag or any of its derivitaves then you are automatically a cockmungler.

Please refrain from its use if you do not wish to be an aformentioned cockmungler...

This is the correct answer, but I've done some slight editing to cram my entire thought process into your quote.

I don't know the guy, I wouldn't presume to know how much of a moron he is. But I don't think it was done out of idiocy anyways, I think it was a honest mistake on his part.

Oh, I disagree very much. That is not how I perceived the situation at all. Your initial reply was already quite charged, implying he didn't think enough about the situation, etc. He then replied politely, and explained what he meant. You then started to go off the hook, insulting him and putting him down, for little reason at best. Was a pretty pathetic sight.

If you read back you will see that I am correct. He addressed you politely, and repeatedly stated that his question wasn't aimed at you at all, and that he doesn't understand why you therefore go off on him. I don't know what got into you, but you behaved rudely and quite hypocritical, I just pointed it out. But you seem in a very aggressive debate mood, it's getting out of hand, we should probably return to the topic at hand.

Airsoft guns look A Hell of a lot more closer to the real thing than a PB gun.

They've got a couple paintball pistols that look like the real deal, my friends got a 9mm, it almost weighs as much as the real thing, it's got a metal clip, polymer grip, actual parts. It even came with a holster. If you saw him with it on the street, you would think it was real.

And I personally love paintballing, I've got a sniper rifle, I just post up in the church, picking people off, while I have two people guarding my rear.

Mistake? Why does it have to be a mistake? I'm confused. I was with him in his use of "they." He was certainly using it properly.

Of course you disagree. Why would you agree to failing to pay attention to my initial reply?

I gave him the opportunity to say it was a joke because I wasn't sure where he was coming from. I suspected he was just being an ass for a laugh. That was fine. That's why I kept my post rather neutral. At the bottom, I indicated that I was aware of what he was doing, just so he didn't think anything went over my head. (Unfortuntely for him, he didn't catch that part of my post, or he chose to ignore it.)

Of course, I quoted the opening post to indicate who "they" were, just for teh lulz. It was intended as humor, as I indicated in a PM to him. *Checks back on posts*

Dude, I even told him I was being a smartass. How much more clear do I need to be?


I also gave him advice on how to be a better pontificator, again, being a smartass.

Still, my post was light-hearted and full of smartassery, hardly a "dick" or "flying off the handle post".

You don't consider his next reply to me to be butthurt?

I guess you really didn't pay attention, then.

Oh, yes. Very polite. yes

And what I did was hardly "go off". I seem to recall a certain butthurt reply to my second reply to him.

And,you're right. The topic at hand is still "they". doped

A fascinating mix of silly and delusional. Onward and upward then? Paintball...I didn't even know we played it in Germany, the only time I ever did was in Arizona. I guess there must be some specific clubs somewhere, I don't think that any of the,...hmm...2...maybe 3 school shooters did ever play it though. At least it was never featured in anything I read about them.

I love you. inlove



Back on topic.


At arcade zones for kids like Incredible Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese, there are First Person Shooter (FPS) games that are, guess what, PAINTBALL! Instead of shotting aliens or zombies, you shoot paintballs at dudes who pop-out from corners. This is supposed to be a "kid friendly" version of FPSs. They also shoot paintballs at you. Instead of blood on the screen when you get hit, it is paintball splatter.

Go figure.

Well, their futbol team is far superior to the US's. So you may have a point.

I'm not sure if I have a point but I definitely have a sharp stick lying around somewhere.

You have Chopper Reid's apperance, but this fact of favoring sharp sticks has earned you the nickname "Poker".

I'd gladly poke her so long as her front bum don't stink like death.

With my sharp stick anything else that comes to hand.

when i was a teen my girlfreinds brother shot me point blank
in the ass with a frozen paintball.

should it be banned? of course not! what the hell. how about bottle rockets. you know Megatron got banned in the US because he turns into a scaled down toy Walter P38.

yet cops get to walk around with a full arsenal and are excused everytime they "oops" kill someone. ridiculous.

ON the ass or IN the ass?

Clearly, "shot me point blank" is code for '****ed me up', while "a frozen paintball" is code for 'his penis'.

In this particular case, you have a logical point, unlike your "they" diatribe.

However, you fail to "understand" the colloquial phrase, thus, the intended meaning is "lost" to you.

Why the quotation marks on understand and lost?

on. in the dick? christ would i even be able to mention it after that?
lol!

Thanks for asking. Shows that you understood that they were important. Almost no one asks about those when I do that...when they obviously had an intended meaning.

close. it was code for "Nantucket Sleighride" and "Hot Carl".

I understand that was the purpose of the sentence, don't understand why he quoted those two words. Sentence would have worked fine to convey the message without quotes, who was he quoting?

Teehee

Except there's no way you could have used "those" words with "irony" or "reservation". If you were attempting to highlight their importance "in" the sentence which is properly "done" with italics or informally with an asterisk on either side of the word. In fact the decision to effectively air quote them makes it "seems" as though there is some sort "of" weird innuendo being used.

Lulz, dude, what I did was correct use. It is done quite often in the professional world and in journalism. It is also done quite often to mock.

I may be thinking of scare quotes. None the less, it is still correct. I could be thinking of any number of uses of quotes, but it is still correct use. I do this QUITE often. Here's another example: Wow, look at that, you "correctly" captured my use of quotes.

That was sarcasm. You phrased the sentence ("However, you fail to 'understand' the colloquial phrase, thus, the intended meaning is 'lost' to you." the wrong way for that to work unless you're sarcastically saying that he does understand what was said.
