WRITE two well-developed paragraphs to discuss your opinion about war games, online gaming, video game addiction, paintball, nerf, airsoft, even violent hits in football, etc.
- First, read the following article:
- Vocabulary you may need to know:
- wholesome fun - fun that promotes high moral standards, clean family fun
- gelatin pellets filled with red dye - paint balls
- franchised - having approval granted to sell or distribute a company’s goods
- annihiliation - destroy completely
- Write your paragraph. I want to see two well-developed paragraphs, not lists. A well-developed paragraph should have a topic sentence, an explaination and some examples. To help you, I have attached a picture of a paragraph frame. I don't want you to write your paragraph in frames, but I do want you to consider how this paragraph is put together. A well-developed paragraph should have at least 4-6 sentences.
Games People Probably Shouldn't Play
According to the company that started the trend, some 18,000 people in hundreds of different weekend groups in the US and Canada pay $30 - $50, or more per person to take part in an outdoor "game" that you might consider carefully ---very carefully---before anyone in your family joins in. Called by such names as "Skirmish," "The War Game," and "Survival" (It was originated by National Survival Games of New London, N.H.), the game has two teams of players completing in a woodland setting to capture each others flag. But to reach the flag, players, "kill" their rivals -- by shooting them with realistic pistols that fire gelatin pellets filled with red dye.
The game is supposedly safe -- players wear goggles - but reports of eye damage have rival companies arguing over whose guns are less likely to cause injury. It's also said to be wholesome fun, according to some 400-500 franchised dealers who rent guns to use on playing fields across the country (and in West Germany, Britain and Japan, says Toronto-based Adventure Game of American).
But Georgia Lanoil, a psychologist on the board of the Journal of Preventive Psychiatry, disputes claims that playing provides a harmless release for pent-up aggressions. A conclusion drawn from studies on anger, she says, is that hostile behavior often is a rehearsal for future action. "It's one step beyond viewing violent films, and isn't like football, where you try to get past your opponent to the goal. Here the goal is annihilation."
Adds Dr. Robert London, director of short-term psychotherapy at New York University Medical Center-Bellevue: "Why anyone would get high on people-hunting and simulated murder is something they should discuss with their therapist."

DeleteI don't think people should play video games because it can cause problems such as overeating while playing, especially eating junk food. Staying in one spot for hours is not healthy, the body needs to move! The mind needs to work. When people think of addiction, they think of drugs or alcohol. Video games can become an addiction. People will act the way the game does, such as acting tough or committing crimes because the game makes it look easy. Not to mention, in the game the robbers don't get caught or they shoot at the police. You can't do that in real life. In the end, maybe video games are ok, if you play for required age group and play age appropriate games. The people need to understand that it is just a game, not real life. The game can not become your life, and you can not become the game. Get in the real world! Get outside!
Gideon. 7th Period - #p154period7 I disagree, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJukS3HjYWY Warning may contain offensive stuff.
DeleteYes video games can be an addiction, but not all of them are violent. There are video games such are guitar hero, not violent and helps build your reaction and coordination skills. People who believe they can do stuff from a video game in real life are stupid. But not everyone is like hard core gamers, even then, most gamers don't try to act like that in public.
Deletejust because a game is violent does not mean that they will act that way on society. some people have mental problems that causes them to act that way. with enough supervision you can limit addiction. you have a point about over eating though but for me i under eat while playing witch is also a problem. the whole reason some people resort to online gaming is because the place they live. if you live in the country you may not live near any one like me. also don't blame the game for addiction problems video game designers do it for a living and the labels say restrictions to playing
DeleteI don't think kids should play video games because they can lead to kids becoming addicted to the games. When kids become addicted they spend all of their time inside. They will never go outside and that can cause health problems. Kids that are addicted to gaming don't have the same social skills as kids that aren't addicted to video games.
ReplyDeleteViolent video games can cause kids to grow up and do some of the actions that are in the games in reality. There is all kinds of violence and gore in the games. Some kids play them so much that they might think that the fighting in them is okay. They don't know better so they shouldn't be allowed to play them.
But it's obvious that there's a distinct difference between video games and reality. At least they take out all this violence and harmful intentions out on video games instead of acting out on them irl
DeleteI am going to correct you paragraph. You need to focus on one topic for each paragraph. In the first you shift to I think 3 different points.
Delete*your
DeleteI agree that video games can be addicting, although I disagree with the notion that kids will never go outside. Just because you play video games doesn't mean you won't also do physical activity. I know plenty of people who play video games at home, but at school they are in marching band, or sports. Sometimes after all your physical activity at home, its good to go home and relax with some video games.
DeleteOn the topic of violent video games specifically, some people may grow up to be violent as well, but that most likely won't happen. Games like these can be used as a stress reliever, as an alternative to actually being violent. Also, if someone is playing violent games like Grand Theft Auto, or Call of Duty they are most likely capable of recognizing these games as not realistic. That's why violent games like those have ratings like Mature or Teen, meaning not for children.

ReplyDeleteShould paintball be a sport that is allowed to be played?
Paintball is a sport that is based off survival that requires a realistic gun that shoots pellets filled with dye to tag a person to know they are out. Players wear goggles to protect their face.
No I don't think paintball should be a type of sport. There is no benifits from paintball.
DeleteYou made nice points on the topic of paint balling, but I do not agreed that it is a "survival sport." Paintball is a game.
DeleteNeil Gharana #p154period6
ReplyDeleteI think that video games, like war and fighting should be allowed to people who can handle it and not think that fighting is acceptable. If anyone is effected badly by playing violent games, then that person is simply too young to play. If the person playing it is mature enough to handle it and treat it like a game and not become violent, then that person can play. When I see the types of games that ten year old's play, I got astonished on how their parents allow them to play such violent games. In conclusion war games are safe, but only to the people who don't get violent by playing them.
Physical games such as paintball, nerfs, airsoft, and football are in my opinion as harmful. Eight year-old's should not be given airsoft guns to play with. Those little children can severely hurt one another. Football is another type of harmful game all because of one rule. The rule is tackling and I think that it should be banned from the game. Tackling should at least be banned to little kids. Concussions can also severely injure a person and even send them to coma. Concussions are caused by people bumping their heads roughly on something. Concussions can also cause internal bleeding in the brain and cause brain death. As you can see, some physical games are extremely dangerous, but I think the rules that are dangerous should be removed, then nobody would get hurt.
I completely agree. If you can't handle the game you shouldn't be playing it. Also, parents should be monitoring what their kids are playing and I think after you reach the age of 12 then you're old enough to comprehend what you're playing and you're able to understand that it is just a game.
DeleteThere are points in your argument that I feel are well validated, but some of the physical game opinions I disagree with. I firmly believe that every game is intended for a specific consensus of people. People that play games like football want to play because of the game's content. You said that tackling should be banned from this game, and, although this would eliminate a variety of injuries, tackling is a core element of football. I believe that children and games shouldn't mix without parents' consent, but I don't believe in the changing of games that can be played safely.
DeleteI agree to your views on video games, and how people have to be mature enough to play a violent or explicit video game. But I disagree with your views on physical sports, for I believe that these games allow kids to vent their frustrations so that they don't act them out in society, making them safer.
DeleteElian Ronaldo #pl154period5
ReplyDeleteI do not believe children should play video games for a long period because that can lead to addiction to video games. Addiction to video games can completely annihilate your social life. Children will not be as active going outside because there to busy playing video games. Also school work would not be done due to the students addiction.
When children play violent video games they might have a higher tendency to do bad actions;due to violent video games being grusome and brutal. Some children go insane of addiction. Therefore children should be limited to the amount of video games they play.
When someone at an impressionable age (typically under the age of ten or eleven) Limiting their game access, especially violent ones, can prevent addictions.
DeleteVery good points, keep on saying what you feel!
I believe that children should be restricted to there playing time. I don't think they annihilate your social life though. Bad actions are not caused from video games there caused by what you take from the video game.
Deletei don't think its bad. why would kids kill because of games. it doesn't influence them in any way at all.it wouldn't make since
ReplyDeletepeople who can handle it better make it better, but there's no difference with kids or adults.anyone that thinks that it makes kids killers are lying. and that's my opinion on "war games"
Not all kids end up killing because of video games but some kids are not watched while playing. So they might become addicted to it and want try and relive it in reality. Not every kid will go through this but some kids might not have parent supervision and things will go wrong.
Deletenot all violent games are bad some do show gore but thats why the ersb was formed to rate the games on a scale from e to a it is the parents and the seller to decide whether they should give the game to little kids
DeleteIn 1999 two teens killed 13 peoples, placed propane-tanks converted into bombs, car bombs, and 99 additional bombs throughout the school. They then committed suicide believing they needed to proceed to the next level, and respawning would allow them to do so. While video games aren't the only factor in this, it is still a large one. Just because you want to get away with playing these games doesn't mean it harms no one.
DeleteI think violent video games should not be allowed to people younger than eighteen. In some violent video games there is smoking and drug additction and that is not needed to teenagers and children. They can also give ideas to teenagers that drugs and smoking is okay to do. When children get ideas from the violent games, they will think that shooting and killing people in real life is just an ordinary thing to do.
ReplyDeleteKids should not be playing video games during the day. When kids play video games, they aren't going outside and getting exercise. They are sitting around and moving their thumbs and fingers. During the day they should be playing outside and staying fit, but instead they are sitting around and eating. Kids need to explore their suroundings and have fun not looking at a big bright screen.
#p154period8
DeleteI disagree. Teens should know that they are old enough and not be childish about the games. I feel like it's their choice what they play.
DeleteI also disagree also. Yes, I think kids a certain age shouldn't play violent video games, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't make the games at all.
DeleteBrianna, you use some pretty strong points and have a very good use a words, but your views are not as supported as they could be. Maybe next time you write a response, you use some real-life examples to help support your views.
DeleteYou bring up many strong points but i believe that taking away the games because of the lower population takes the advise of the game and gets it taken from the more intelligent part of the population. It is unfair and those that have chosen an ill fate should be left to it.
DeleteAlso not all gamer are not fit. Some care for their bodies and should not be stereotyped into these catagories.

ReplyDeleteI think that children should not play video games. It can lead into bad addiction. These children would not have good health. The video games will make them stay inside and eventually they would not want to go outside. I think kids should only have 30 minutes of playing cause its better than playing for 2 or 3 hours. The children would not have a social life. When they go to school they would not want to do there work cause of there addiction.
When kids play football and get a violent hit they get injured. Football can be really dangerous because when kids run and someone attacks really hard they will get a really huge bruse. I Know that kids attack but it is really hurtful. Kids should have another sport too. They should have a second sport. I mean they have a social life and they do go outside. It is not that bad but kids should be more careful.

DeleteI think that if parents monitor their kids time they can actually play video games ,and avoid addiction. Videos games are a source of fun to others and it isn't bad if some kids prefer to stay indoors, rather than go outside. Also their is no guarantee that you won't get injured in any sport you play. Its a risk you make while doing a sport. You have two decisions while doing a sport. Accept the fact you may or may not get hurt,o r just don't play a sport at all.
DeleteI can understand your point about children playing for to long, but I also see most of your other points are jumping to conclusions. Addiction is caused by mental stability caused by the product, but most players control themselves enough to not become addiction. Players might highly enjoy the game and play it often, but it does not mean they are developing an addiction. Secondly, staying inside is caused by multiple factors, not just video games. Sometimes, players live in rural areas and find social interaction through games. Players can still develop a social life, and often find friends in online interactions.
DeleteFootball has been proven to be a violent games at times, but new rules are enforced throughout the nation to insure the safety of athletes in every game. Although athletes are injured, most games result in safe playing for everyone.
I do not at all think video games are bad for people but if some very violent games are played by children the age of 5-10 it can give them a bad influence to them at a young age and get them violent and think that what they do in games is allowed in real life like cursing, bullying, etc. If older teens play violent games and can handle it its possible to let them play them but ONLY if they are mature enough and can handle it but when children start cursing at the age of 7 years old (which i myself heard multiple times) is when violent game are a major NO.
ReplyDeleteI like how you put in facts to your opinions and how you put in your own experiences.
Deleteyour comment is well writen and points out the pros and cons about the topic
DeleteI completely agree with your stance, but you need to consider the fact many children and there parents do not listen to the mature and pg13 lables. Also that video games are not the only influence towards children, but you do have a good stance. Nice Job!!!

ReplyDeleteshould paintball be a sport that is allowed to play?
yes,the reason yes is because paintball is like any other sport.you need to have some sort of athletic ability and it invalves a ball.
That is a very interesting way to look at paintball. I agree that it is a sport, but not because of your reasons. The definition of a sport is: An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. By this definition paintball is considered a sport.
DeleteYour response needs to be describing why paintball should be played because this is what your initial question is. You described why is should be a sport not why it should be played.
Andrew Alonzo #p154period6
ReplyDeletePeople always judge and assume that airsoft is an unsafe game. In my opinion, it isnt because of how much I`ve played the game. To me it is very much a safe game since it involves only plastic little pellets. When you are in a battle and get hit it only stings for a second then goes away. All in all it can only be an unsafe game if you make it one.
There are only a few ways that the game can be unsafe but it all depends on how you play it. One reason could be that you get hit in the eye without wearing any eye goggles. Its your choice to choose whether or not to wear goggles if someone has a grudge against you and has really good accuracy. Another reason is if t
you wear the right clothing adjusting to whether or not there is a lot of fps in the gun.
I agree because people know the rules and accidents that can happen when they go to play the game. People know that they can get hurt while playing the game and they play to have fun not to worry about getting hurt.
DeleteI agree with you because you had good points and you have experience and first hand knowledge of it. You had a great point that it's only a dangerous game if you make it a dangerous game. All in all good job.
DeleteRegarding the "game" in question, I can see both sides. On one side, the game is too violent and has unknown dangers. On the other, it is considered wholesome fun. They both seem to be valid opinions.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I lean towards acceptance to the side that says that the game is wholesome fun. This game seems oddly similar to a game that in sometimes now used in military training; paintball. If the dangers are clear and people still chose to play, it is their choice. It is their choice to have wholesome fun with their family, friends, co-workers, etc.
I really liked your paragraphs. They were easy to read, well-written, and contained good points. I agree that it is their decision to play, and if they don't want to get hurt then they don't have to play.
DeleteThis is great. You had some really good support. Your paragraphs were nice, easy to follow, and organized
DeleteI believe that kids should be allowed to play video games, but at their parents own cost. Yes kids do get some influences from games ,but the media usually blames video games for the extremes of kid actions. Saying that video games are to blame ,but usually its the parents fault. The age restrictions to games are there for reason they aren't just there for decoration they're there to show which age is allowed to play this certain video game.
ReplyDeleteKids don't have a mind set to understand whats going on around them ,so if you buy them a game with the age restriction for teens they get influences from that game such as: drugs, cursing, murder, and sexual activities. In the end the parents are to blame if you actually care for your child then most of the kids influenced by the games would be rarely shown in the media ,but instead parents rarely pay attention and buy a game with all sorts of bad stuff for their kids.
You are right because the kids do get influence by the video games. :)

Deletei agree on most but not all a lot of kids what not know a lot abut life with out video games
DeleteI disagree with your points i dont believe children will have have sexual activities.
Deletegames can be safe or dangers i just depends on what process of safety that they have been putting on every thing to make you fun the best and safety. on a nerf box it says wear i protection so you dont get hit in the eyes.
ReplyDeletejust like me most kids do not lisen to all the safty rules you just want to get strait to the fun. most kids dont want to were glasses why they are playing nerf most dont think it will happen to them but wwen it does i will scar them and make them affraied but it still needa tot be fun. so i think it can be unsafe but i can be very safe its just how you play
i disagree because youre cody
DeletePlaying with nerf guns, nerf bullets is a safe game. Why do I think that well, if you get hit it's like a plastic piece of foam hitting you. So no damages have happened off of a nerf gun or nerf bullets. That's why I believe that nerf games are wholesome fun!
ReplyDeleteNerf guns could be used as training, shooting practice, wholesome fun! So the chances of you getting hurt are very slim. That's why I would recommend using nerf instead of paintball or airsoft because, you won't get welps or scars from playing. That's why i would recommend using nerf.
Nice job of using wholesome fun
DeleteAndrew Jaramillo
ReplyDeleteGames like football,war games,and paintball are not always safe and sound, they can be dangerous and can lead to serious injury. When your playing games like these, make sure you protect yourself and keep caution. People have been involved in these games and they don't even care about safety rules. They should be paying attention to make themselves safe.
Sometimes games can change you who you should not become. People all around the world have been twisted by playing these kind of games. So I prefer playing video games instead of outdoor like games, much safer than getting injured out in the wild.
Indoor games are the best ideas than getting yourself beaten in football.
I dont agree with "Indoor games are the best ideas than getting yourself beaten in football." I understand that you dont enjoy geting hurt, not many people do, but there are certain lessons that can only be taught when your part of a team. for example, band. when 170 students all work together towards a common goal, you can achive so much more than being in a video games.
DeleteMen and women that haven't played football before state their opinion of hard hits, on the screen or in the stands. A player's opinion is what really matters, and a violent hit can affect him in two different ways. One way, is that he can get hurt, never play the sport again, and wine about how much he hates football. Another way, is a football player could get majorly injured, realize that you can get injured in every sport, overcome the injury, and strive to get better.
ReplyDeleteWar games can be enjoyable, but quite graphic at the same time. In other words, there are two different types of war games, and two different ways to think about them. There is a war game that can be fake, just to draw a kid's attention, and can be addicting. Then there are other games such as Call of Duty that give you a reality experience in a fun base, which is my personal favorite.
I agree with you because your right, people who don't even play shouldn't have a say in the game. It should be up to the player.
DeleteI agree with your opinion of football in a way that it all depends on what the football players opinion is and that they can respond in two ways that really establish what kind of player they are.
DeleteKoby Cooper #p154period6
ReplyDeletethat's my post above by the way
I think paintball is very fun but also not very safe. I think it is not safe because you have hard tiny flying pellets being shot at you. When i play paintball I get a lot of exercise running around big objects and running from the enemy. Although it is not safe it is a game I like to play with my friends and family.
ReplyDeletePlaying with nerf guns are very safe because the are foam and also have a protected tip. I have found that when playing with my nerf guns , the bullets will travel long distance. I like hang targets and practice my sniper skills. I have found that nerf guns are safer than paintball guns. I enjoy playing them equally as much.

DeleteIt's a yes and a no answer for this question. Yes the child thinks it's fun to hit a person in football or shoot people with paint/i a video game. It's the child's choice what they think is fun.
ReplyDeleteBut it is a no also because it is unsafe. The child can get easily hurt in paintball and in football but that's why they have gear for that. Videos games are also a big deal, yes it may have violent but the child should know it is fake. Also the parents can easily take it up if it's effecting the child's behavior.
I agree but video games can also take on the kids actions like robbery and killing
Deletewell am going to agree with this because the video games can cause a kid try to do the same thing as the video game and can be dangerous
DeleteShould paintball be a sport that is allowed to be played?
ReplyDeleteyes Paintball is a sport that is fun to play and safe. Paintball is safe because you have alot of armor .
but there are some other reasons why paintball is not that safe.child can get easily hurt in paintball because some kids dont know how to use the gun
I like your response, but i think you will do better if don't start off your response with the question asked. It would also help if you would elaborate what you mean by safe. Also, it would help your point is you stated more points then you did. I agree with your statement, but it would be more persuasive with extra points and agreement with the other side of the argument.

ReplyDeletemacy hart #p154period5
I think that there are some video games that are exceptable for younger children and some like violent video games that most adolescents shouldnt be playing, because they arent quit mature yet to handle the violent graphics and drug use that are in most violent video games. for some little children violent videos games can scar them.
however some people like violent video games it helps them vent out there anger and what they're feeling. i dont think that violent video games are bad they help a lot of people deal with their issues. they are also a great way to pass time.
I agree all they way , Macy. Most to all adolescents should not be playing violent video games ,because they can not comprehend some situations. Violent graphics and drugs are also a bad influence for the children playing the games. But I do not agree that some kids need to take there anger out on video games there are many other ways to let out anger including karate or paintball or anything else safe that doesn't damage there brain and maturity. They can pass the time another way.
DeleteWhile that can be true for some people can become violent because of the games they play most people are not very effected by these games. If people that learn from a early what is right and wrong their attitude and mind set will not be drastically changed. While young kids like a 8 year old's mind is not exactly ready for a graphic murder occur or drug use, their parent should be more involved in the things they do on their free time. Some People though that are more mature and ready for the events in some games, and the parents job is to train their child to be a good person not a violent murderer. Video games are really up to the parents for example: I personally am a person who has a lot of freedom with the games I play because i was always told what was right and wrong, but some people do not learn that and can become violent from these games. In the end it really depends on the parent for how a person is going to be acting.
DeleteI agree that your responsible for your own actions and should know if your mature enough to play the game.
DeleteYou are right. Younger kids shouldnt be able to play games that have murder and drugs. Parents need to be more involved and see what their kids are playing.
Deleteyea i got to agree that if you are going to play games it should be a game for your age
DeleteMikki Hopkins #p154period5
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion violent video games can be played by anyone if they are mature enough. Some 13 year old's act as if they were 30 and some 30 year old's act 13. It all depends on there maturity level. Most of it's drugs, cussing, violence, etc. and it doesn't matter because songs now a days, such as The Hills by The Weeknd which is rated #2 on the american music chart.
Very good way of putting that Mackensey Hopkins maturity takes a big role in violent video games.
DeleteGood job at putting everything together keep up the hard work
Deletei agree that anyone can play violent video games but they must be mature for the one playing them because if it is not mature then it could give them thought that doing what they see in the game is the right thing to do everywhere could be a bad thing.
DeleteWhile I do agree that people the same age can have different maturity levels, content warnings are there for a reason. Some people develop faster, but that doesn't mean warning levels are useless and go out the window, I would also recommend staying on topic and tying in all your points .
DeleteYou make a great point, Mackensey. If you have the maturity of someone who is way older then your age, but you are at a young age, then you should be allowed.
DeleteI agree with you, because you showed a lot of evidence and made a lot of points in your response.
DeleteI think its bad for little kids to play video games if the game that they are playing is a matter of killing people. If your two young it can most likely cause bad behavior. It can also influence younger kids to bad things. if you are old even to play games like that i think its okay. Also i don't think its okay to be playing for kids to be playing for a long period of time.
ReplyDeleteI believe its okay for younger kids to play games just not with violence in it. Games can be very addicting so i also think parents should watch out for how much their kids play so they don't want to play 24/7.
Younger kids should be allowed to play games with violence in them as long as it's appropriate for their age group. For example there is the Toybox game for Disney has violence in it ,but the main people that buy the game are younger kids.
DeleteI agree with your points. Young children shouldn't be allowed to play violent or gory games. For one, it could destroy their minds, causing them to grow up as violent children. It could also cause them to stray from their family or their school work. School and family come before any entertainment. Older children could handle these games, but you do need to limit your time.
DeleteI think violent games are not all bad, as long as they are not play for to long. 30 to 50 minutes is a perfect amount of time to play any game. I think if they are played for to long they will start to become a distraction from school, family, friends, and other things that are important. Playing violent games should not be a problem as long as they don't overly play them.
ReplyDeleteViolent sports just like games shouldn't be a bad thing, if anything they are a good thing. Playing football, rugbey, or any other contact sport helps relive stress from school, family issues, or from a bad day. I think the only downside to playing a contact sport is the risk of getting hurt. If someone gets seriously injured it could put the players reputation at risk, but if that person makes full recovery they could go play for there favorite team. This is what I think of violent sports and games.
One disagreement is: What will kids accomplish sitting in front of a screen?
DeleteAlthough your writing is spot on I disagree. I love how you pointed out that if it becomes a distraction they will turn away from friends and family. You really proved your point.
I very much agree with the points you have made about the amount of time a certain violent game should be played , and I definitely agree these games should only be played a few times and not continuous. I do not how ever totally agree with Dr. Robert and his tribute to this piece because like you said most might just want to let off steam.
DeleteI also agree to your argument. Kids can play these games just as long as they don't play all day and they have parents watching them.
DeleteI don't think the game of paint ball is dangerous what so ever. People think because there is a gun involved that it has to be dangerous. There are no bullets there is just paint. The game is an easy and fun way to relieve stress and anger.
ReplyDeleteYou do have a good point about people overreacting but there are still many dangers that can be involved with paintball. Many people can be injured if a helmet is not worn or if the guns power is turned up.
DeleteWhile I agree with the fact that people always overreact when a gun is involved, I do believe their should be a higher age limit. while they cant cause serious harm, I have seen some nasty bruises left on little kids whose skin is softer.
DeleteYou gave a nice amount of detail. I however, disagree that it is "easy." People that participate can come back with bruising. I do agree with your statement on guns.
DeleteYeah people get really aggressive
ReplyDeleteThe game is also easy to make stress and anger
ReplyDeleteI agree, paintball is not dangerous if you know what youre doing. If someone were to attempt to play paintball, there are warning labels to caution them. If someone was to be injured, if wasnt the paintball gun rather the person who carelessly shot it. Also, paintball is a great way to exercise and have fun with friends and family.
