i play paint ball and i am a trained soldier but this is just silly. paint ball is a game. any one who has trained for real combat will tell you there is a big big difference between playing paintball (a game) and real combat (where real men die). and if the terrorist are using paintball to train for combat then they will be easy targets. after all big balloons dont stop bullets

@keverc I am not denying that it is not the real thing, however, it IS a motivator, it creates a false sense of action, of ability, a small sense of training without having to create noise, a great team maker, a sense of using cover and concealment in a situation, it will cause peopel to think more of their surroundings than just pointing a weapon in a shopping mall and shooting, they will do as they are trained: they will use corners, obstacles and use whatever cover they have to hide

Again, your ignorance of world politics is astounding, you repeat catch phrases as if they are cures. You're not worthy of debating.

Some of us have lives where we dont post all day on the internet, but I guess your mother didn't let you out of the basement lately...

That is a completely ignorant statement. The CIA had nothing to do with creating the Al Qaeda, it was Osama entirely, and for you to lack any historical knowlege to even comment intelligently, that is sad.

I am glad you have proved yourself to be so ignorant of history. Al Qaeda was created after the Mujahadeen threw the USSR out of Afdghanistan, not by the CIA. We had already left. Osama wasn't involved in their affairs until USSR left, so, thanks for proving your ignorance. Paint ball and laser tag games are being used by militaries to train personnel on the basics of how to shoot and scoot and use cover. It is also interesting you ignore that the Islamics mentioned were known terrorists.

I thought you would understand this a little more. You see, this is exactly what they have been catching many known and convicted Jihadists, In Canada and here in the US doing, and it is THEIR words, they are using paintball as a training aid, a motivator in learning basic tactics of cover and exposure while under fire. While primative, it is the only way to 'play' that also shows you how to shoot, scoot, and avoid being shot without live rounds or laser tag.

We need to fight the scourge of paint right here, right now!

What if paint gets in the hands of the wrong person? Who knows what they could do?

If you know someone who has recently been in contact with paint (in ball form, or otherwise)contact your authorities. We cannot be too safe.

Somebody get Joseph McCarthy on the phone. We need a hero.
