Paintball is the perfect arena to teach people when it is time for pensiveness and when to take a calculated risk. If you make the wrong decision, the only thing that gets hurt is your pride. Yes, video games teach this too, but at least in paintball, the young people are interacting with REAL people. We might not look or act the same, but no one has an advantage over another because of it. No one race, gender, age, occupation, or political or religious persuasion is better at this than any other.
Paintballs are non-discriminatory, they break on anybody, regardless of race, creed or culture.
Argue with them and you won't get to play. You have to listen to what they tell you, they are there to ensure that everyone has a good, safe day. I am a parent myself. As parents we want our kids to learn the lessons of life, without getting hurt in the process. Well, I think it is, and paintball is the medium for it.
