I just don't like being around old people. They are wrinkly and smell funny. If I had a nickel for every time KA-BAR tried to tell me a story of how it used to be and offer me a Werther's Original.

40 should be the cap.

This might not seem as contradictory if you didn't have DJ and Gene on your team. ;)

Please ask your English teacher to explain the difference between their/there/they're. Then you might stop being the example of what you describe.

Also, the difference between "want," "wont" and "won't" might also be a good idea...

IDK, but I thought I did pretty good for only being 14 at Holy Wars...

Truth!
I'm 43 and I'm in better shape than 75% of the players on the field.
Oh yeah, and I've got that age/wisdom thing going for me too.

If you host a game you can make whatever rules you like.
Don't like the rules, or don't qualify? Don't go.
Don't like it? Host your own game. Crying about it isn't going to solve anything.

Being underage can be a drag. Deal with it. We all did/do in our lives.
Sucks that you can't drive at age 14, but that's not about to change so deal with it.
Under 18, you can't vote. Deal with it.
Under 21, you can't drink. Deal with it.
Under 25, you pay higher insurance rates. Deal with it.
It's a two way street.
I have to get up and go to work everyday to support my family. I deal with it.
I have to pay taxes. I deal with it.
I have to vote. Chosing the lesser of two evils is never easy, but I deal with it.
Sometimes I drink. Sometimes too much. The next day, I deal with it.

Bottow line.... DEAL WITH IT!!!

I understand kids that are under 18 years of age can sometimes be ridiculously annoying or do stupid things, but what about the rest of us? If some kid thinks he's hot stuff and says he's going to destroy everyone, then settle it on the field! Teach him a lesson so he finally realizes he's not "all that". You guys have to give us a chance though. Maybe there's some kid out there who's really good and loves to airsoft, but never gets the chance to prove it to you guys. Or a new kid starts playing and everyone shuts them out and ignores them. That ruins airsofting for that person.

Also, summer may be over, and school has started, but that doesn't mean kids won't be playing anymore. There are alot of weekend games...

The Farm has a age limit of 13 this is only due to insurance requirements. The only time we would ever impose anything else would be due to a promoter running a game. In that case it is on them to regulate who they want.
