At school the other day in health class, we were supposed to look at these dumb health magazines and write a report on one of the articles. Unfortunately, one of the articles was dissing paintball. Here it is:

"It all happened in a flash. Matt Dillman, 15, had just played an exciting game of paintball with a friend. As he was relaxing on the porch of his sister's farm near Wichita, Kansas, his friend came around the corner of the porch and shot Matt with a small, round capsule of paint."
-What I say- Number one, the people who were playing were pretty dumb to do that, and unfortunately this happens. Number two, if they weren't supposed to be biased, wouldn't they start off with something positive at least?
"The capsule exploded in Matt's right eye, and the small bit of dye tore into his eye, causing it to bleed. After more than a year of constant pain and eye problems, Matt had his eye removed in June 2000."
"Injuries on the Rise"
"Matt isn't the only one who has suffered serious injury=y as a result of paintball. Between 1997 and 1999, some 2,000 paintball-related injuries were reported in U.S. emergency rooms. This does not include the growing number of paintball related injuries seen in doctor's offices, which are not reported."
-What I say-This author is being completely biased and is not showing any other side of the story. Maybe instead of blaming paintball, she should blame the dumba$$ kid who hurt the person!
"According to health experts, many of these injuries result in serious or permanent eye damage. Less serious injures arise, too. Ben remembers when he hit a friend in the cheek with a capsule of paint. "His cheek swelled up like crazy. It turned bright red and later bruised." It took a couple weeks before his friend's cheek looked OK again."
-What I say- Again this sport does not show any other side of the story and like the last example, they are making a little injury like getting shot by a paintball gun, a "Less Serious" injury. They said this, like it’s still serious or something, just 'less.'
"Paint Guns Are Not Toys"
-What I say- No dip Sherlock!
"Since the 1980's, paintball has grown in popularity. About 6.4 million people participated in paintball games in 1999. Played outside, often in a wooded area, paintball is like a combination of tag and hide-and-seek games. Teams use air guns that shoot little, non-toxic, paint-filled balls to mark team members on the opposite team. The goal in the game is to capture a flag or rescue a team member. Teams win when they complete a mission or mark everyone on the opposite team."
-What I say-This author is using the technical term of paintball to prove her point like “Air guns to shoot little, nontoxic, paint filled markers to mark team members on the opposite team.”
-What I say-This next paragraph bugs the crap out of me!!! She’s making it look like a huge deal. Just read!!!
“To shoot with the dye capsules, players aim directly at a person. The game involves real pain. That’s because the guns are powered by carbon dioxide canisters and can shoot their paint-filled capsules at speeds of more than 200mph! That’s the speed of the paintball that hit Matt and seriously damaged his eye. Often participants get bruised while playing.”
-What I say-Its better to be quiet and have people think your stupid, than for you to talk and confirm it.
“When markers are used in backyards and empty playgrounds,” (-What I say-If you are playing in a playground, don’t play paintball anymore because you are the reason why we get such bad crap!!!) “and the games are unregulated, injuries occur.”
-What I say-You all ready know what I’m gonna say….
“This sport may appeal to some people, but it is not a safe sport. Stay away from this sport if you feel afraid!”
-What I say- BITC*!!!!
