    Posted: 13 August 2004 at 11:10pm
Ok im at a field in maine and some old guy comes up to me and sees me playing in a tee shirt and jeans and says
"Oh i guess you think your tough sh** playing in that?"

later on i was playing with my younger cousins and they had a friend with them, i shot the friend in a game like 2 times and he started crying.  so the rest of the kids thought it must hurt too much and didnt want to play anymore.

i dont know about the rest of you but getting hit doesnt bother me at all, i have yet to be hit in the balls though.  I dont understand why some people feel the need to ask people "oh how bad is it , im scared" or wear a 2nd layer.  When im playing paintball especially in the summer i sweat like crazy and dont need to be wearing 2 sweatshirts.

what do you guys think?

I know what you mean, right now I am trying to get people to come play this wednesday, and some of them are like "no, it hurts" so it sucks... they might still come though.

Doesn't bother me...I think that some people weren't made for paintball...some people aren't made for something like..quilting either..It depends on the person. Some people just can't take pain. There's a lot of people that I ask to go paintballin and they're just too worried about it hurting. Especially girls. Lots of girls I know really want to play, but they're afraid of it hurting or getting welts.

Hey!

If you're too big of a pansy to put up with a little sting for a whole 2 seconds...then you need to go back to suckin' on your momma's tata's.

At least that's how I see it.
