Politicians.
In other words, people who don't fight in wars themselves.

I miss the old tribal way of doing it, where the chiefs would be the main fighter, and they wouldn't start wars unless they knew it would be worth risking their lives for.

Yup just tie the old coots to the front of a Humvee a la Lord Humongous Road Warrior style, attack, and have a new election. Bet we have time and resources to have peace talks pretty quick.

what are those?

Real weapons, Clay Bullets...... same thing as paintball just using clay munitions and no goofy looking guns with huge paintball CO2 tanks on them, no battery packs for full auto weapons, no changing out hoppers, only mags.


only thing that draws away from the realism is having to wear protective gear similar to that in paintball

1000 years in the future.....Canuck is finally elected leader!

Pussies here don't know about my paper wasps!

i call em hornets

Paper wasps are weak.

Try using paper clips that are broken in half.

nah, i would stick heavy duty staple gun staples in my hornets......

I once shot one made of a strip of aluminum, hurts like hell!

More fun to shoot him in his big ol' butt. I just hope he learns that lesson faster than the dude who i did shoot there.

well, looks like you good a good place to play

i remember one day, for no real reason, flipping through a paintball magazine at the newsagent. I saw a picture of Pauly Shaw, and the mention of how he was part of some awesome paintball thing where for a time an entire town becomes a paintball field of battle.

an entire town


entire town.


TOWN!

I can top that.

Mythbusters "Penny Drop"

back in highschool it was common to fire paper wasps, but also PENS. just... PENS. they were serious business, they pierce flesh and just kinda hang there sticking outof the side of your leg, wobbling a little.

Bettina, you're upset about a welt? Come on, that can't even remotely compare to the emotional pain of getting beat by a girl in Descent

Keep in mind Bet51987 that you are addressing an audience that essentially since birth, have played games like chicken with knives, darts, bricks, rocks, and basically anything that we can throw or maim with. Also BB guns in my time still could shoot through plywood and leather jackets as they had no restrictions on FPS at the time... so we played cowboys and Indians with those, along with bows and arrows, crossbows and slingshots, and yes people did lose their eyes and even bled profusely at times. If you feel bad over raising a welt I guarantee you'd not survive a Zombie Apocalypse

Mr.Obvious has spoken.

mR. Idiot.

lol..you are in the minority. i never played games like that.

Then I must be in the minority also. My first set of stitches and resultant scar was from a thrown stick spear that caught me in the forehead just above my eyes.

Same here. I used to have bbgun fights in the woods behind my house. 4 pump max, no headshots (obviously) I've a number of scars from things I used to do.

It all came to a grinding halt when I tore my hand and realized I could damage myself where I could never play guitar again. I've lived in a padded room ever since

Bett have you ever broken a bone while having fun?

I haven't! I have scars though

I don't know many girls that broke a bone. Most guys I know have.

Heh, I have never broken a bone in spite of all the bad accidents i have been in as a child.

Unless you count that stubbed little toe I had last year when it swelled up into all rings of color and would hurt for nearly 4 months. I never saw a doctor for it, but whenever I look at my toe now... it looks a bit different than the other little toe would be

me couple years ago




Think of it as a RL Video Game. The difference is that the pain reminds you of your lack of a reset button (or spacebar, heh!).

Bet51987 have you ever broken a bone while having fun?

I almost put a pitchfork thru my foot once!

what I learnt from that was: Always check your landing zone before flying.

Heh you look like you are Halo in real life!

I would so do Akimbo with those!

BYAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

woa, check out the Ballista made outof office supplies!
We never made anything quite THIS awesome at school

bored at work

Yet...

Like the "older" people here, we used to do all kinds of stupid things, shoot each other with BB guns etc. Ever catch a wet snowball in the side of the head? Hit a tree while sled riding? ( or a car ) Jump off a roof just for fun? ( falling is fun, stopping can suck though ) and lawn darts are a whole other thread.

There was a creek we used to swim in that had a rope tied to a branch way up in the top of a tree. We'd set at the bottom of the tree, which was on a bank about 6' above the water, and the rest of the crew would be across the creek with other end of the rope. Then they would take off running with the rope, the rope was probably 150' long and a good 1" thick, and up you'd go, weeee! 10 guys could get you about 20' in the air... man, good times.

Is it just me or are the internet generation kids sort of soft and squishy

Yes they are soft and squishy. Their formative years are spent sitting in front of a monitor and not zooming up trees 20' in the air or dodging lawn darts. They also have learned their driving skills through GTA or NFS... and it shows when they actually get behind a wheel of a car. Not enough sunlight and exercise has caused this along with a diet high in sugar. I could go on but I don't want to sound like an old fart.

Hey hey now you're underestimating some of us

My childhood was rather active. When it wasn't rainy or cold out, I was out doing a lot of things that I ended up getting hurt. I got plenty of scars from my childhood activities

Now I'm a typical pampered wuss. I won't touch a large grasshopper or even try to put air in my tires (too freakin' paranoid to). I don't like to go near spiders. I haven't been on an actual bike for a few years and the last time I did an outdoor activity was a pathetic hike in the mountains a year ago.

KompresZor wrote:Jump off a roof just for fun?

Yeah. somehow, I don't expect her to be doing that anytime soon.

Kiran wrote:I won't touch a large grasshopper

You're... scared of... grashoppers?

Not necessarily scared of a Grasshopper. I just don't want to get its spit on me. Plus I'm not used to the anticipation of it possibly jumping out before I grab it, so i'd prolly jump and scream bloody murder when it does. Once I held the grasshopper a few times, I wouldn't mind touching it. Since it's been years, I just dont' really wanna touch one .

i dont do too much because i dont live ANYWHERE near undeveloped land, just in one gigantic boring suburb. anytime i'm actually outside i always get hurt doing something stupid, though, haha, like falling out of a 4 story tree(estimating its height).

do you have royal minders or something?

do you have siblings?

i can't count the amount of times i have hurt myself as a kid. scraped knees, falling over on roads, falling off my bike or rollerblades, stubbing toes, tripping over. While 4x4ing i once knocked out a tooth clean through my lip. I took a visible chunk outof my eyeball with a paperdart. Broken one arm, damaged cartilage of another elbow, dislocated a shoulder, dislocated a kneecap. Many sliced knees climbing wire fences.

Ah man roid... you just reminded me the times that I would walk around barefooted and then somehow chip of a chunk of skin from the top of my big toe... I've done that so many times as a kid I'm suprised that both my big toes are not scarred.

No sibings or anything. Just dad and me, and yes, I did scrape my knees skateboarding, riding a bike and a few other cuts and bruises but nothing that ever required more than a band aid.

Your paperdart in the eye gave me the chills.... Geez.
