so a bunch of dudes at me dave and claytons school are all hatin on paintball. now i know that these kids are a bunch of stoner fags who will sur-mount to nothing in their lives but stil... Heres what he posted

Cove Bennetts "paintball is not a sport."

paint·ball n.

1.A game in which players on one team seek to
eliminatethose on an opposing team by marking them
with a water-soluble dye shot in capsules from air guns....

2.The dye-filled gelatinous capsule shot from guns
in this game.
Paintball n.
a game in which people dress up in military clothing, go out into the countryside and attempt to shoot each other with guns that fire paint rather than bullets

Curtis Grandmaison - the definitions above clearly state that paintball is a game, just like freeze tag lava monsters and hopscotch

fishing is a dope sport.

Wesley MacInnis - Paintball is not a sport because the main instrument of skill is a mechanical device, not your own body. Furthermore, not a utensil like a racket which requires exertion from your arm, but a device which propels the projectile without any effort from the individual.

Curtis Grandmaison - yea trigger fingers dont count either


Wesley MacInnis - I agree with curtis, we're systematically breaking down your argument that paintball is a sport, so i don't see why you should lawl. Systematic.

what fags, what's wrong with being a stoner tho? plenty of stoners have sur-mounted to big things in life

[Sparticis]

i know sean i meant that everything they live for is based on boguing. dont get me wrong i love mary jane as much as the next guy.

[Cockerbeatsmag]

have you tried not giving a <swear filter>? who cares what a bunch of losers from your school say, i just seen a bunch of kids at the bar that used to rag on me about it, i talked to them and they asked about it and i told them im still playing and that my team is sponsored by jager and there eyes got big, they were then curious, i had to explane to them that i dont really care what they have to say and just said i do what i love to do and thats all that really matters, this was the first time since grad ive seen them, and thats been almost 3 years, so pretty much dont give a <swear filter> man, just do what you love.

giving to much of a <swear filter> = bad times.
not giving so much of a <swear filter> = a blast and you could end up better off in the end.

(ive had a few drinks... sorry if this is not readable.... my bad.)

[stress69]

u need a tissue 4 your issue??.....paintball isn't a sport..itz a addictive cult thing...either your in or u out...btw,<swear filter>'s don't play paintball..

[Fatty]

Is that what you call bashing? LOL. Who cares if it's a sport or not?
Besides, with Wesley's ignorant logic, according to him fishing, hunting, auto racing, bike racing, and decathalons aren't sports either, because you need mechanical devices to compete. What a knob.

[parksos]

Lol what an idiot, biking is a huge sport ?? Car racing is huge in america and stuff


Maybe hes just 1/4 Handy Cpt

1) who cares whether it's a "sport" by technical definition, it's fun and you like it and you shouldn't give a rats ass what they think of it.

2) they don't understand basic logic or how to "prove" or "proof" an argument either intellectually or academicly so stop giving them credence.

3) they obviously haven't looked into the definition of what makes something a sport vs. a non-sport (game doesn't fit as an appropriate title for non-sport as most sports are also games) and until you have a definition to work from you're just shovelling large amounts of opinion and fertilizer NOT making an intelligent arguement one way or the other.

4) none of their "arguments" so far have made any actual points worth any weight towards whether paintball is or isn't a sport as they all hinge on personal opinion, a single uncited, likely non-authoritative, source for the definition of paintball, and the falacious assumption and implication that something which is referred to as a "game" is there for not a "sport". See the games of Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, Football, and Soccer for examples.

5) I can't believe you're giving them your time on this or that by you giving them your time and any semblance of "give a damn" i've been sucked into spending this much time discussing the half witted "arguments/opinions" of some stoner school boys with a twig up their backside about your choice of recreational activities.

Ah highschool, where maturity reaches new highs.... and lows....

[Fifthplanecomin]

Yawn.

[SouthPark]

Huh? Anything going here? Nope... K... moving along...

Heh Rob you gonna get the paintball focused sprint training-plyometrics-cardio recovery training program going again? More pain please???!!!

[tomn8r]

of course it's a sport - duh! it's not like we're sitting down playing a board game. we're engaging in almost every athletic movement possible: running diving sprinting crawling rolling etc etc in a controlled tournament environment at a sporting venue. just laugh at them and say, "you know nada"

[peterb_92]

lol you guys totally took this the wrong way... i am for 1 not offended by what wes or any <swear filter> at my school said about paintball lol i could actually care less... i just posted because i figured maybe we could do some counter arguing but apparently not.

[SouthPark]

Sorry Peter, It just seemed so easy to refute the arguments your buds are bringing to the "game" (debate).

Definitions and descriptions are a dime a dozen. By extension of the of logic Cove and Curtis are presenting the events that comprise the Olympic GAMES must not be in fact sports as they are described as "games"... Another counter point would be to look at any of the sports that are also described as "games". An example used above I think was that of a Soccer GAME etc... in this case Soccer is generally held to be a "sport" and yet is also a game. I wish him luck with the attempt to argue that soccer is not a sport as it is defined and described as a game. Weak attempted argument based on "authority" (ie some online dictionary) that appears to assume that which is "A" cannot also be "B" (a game can be a sport and a sport can be a game...). F-


Wesley MacInnis - Paintball is not a sport because the main instrument of skill is a mechanical device, not your own body. Furthermore, not a utensil like a racket which requires exertion from your arm, but a device which propels the projectile without any effort from the individual.

Counter points to the argument Wesley is presenting would be to point out that ARCHERY is considered to be a sport (an Olympic Sport non-the-less) but also utilizes a "device which propels the projectile without effort of the individual". An even better counter example that illustrates the limited scope and poorly considered nature of the argument Wesley has presented is to merely ponder the nature of yet another Olympic SPORT the Biathlon (XCountry Ski + Guns)... dur... Yet another ill conceived attempt at forming a meaningful argument. Yet again.... F-


LOLZ. Redo boyz.... weak weak weak.
