BOY CULTURE: An Encyclopedia: E-Book and excerpts – LINK HERE

You know your little hobby has made the ‘big time’ when the academics and scholars start to inform, dissect, categorize, reflect on, title and “study” what’s happening with the participant-humans.  Specifically, when it “involves the children.”

Take, for example…BOY CULTURE: An Encyclopedia, which places “GUNS” and a few paragraphs in CHAPTER 6: “BAD” Boys.

Certainly a scholarly tome, posted in e-book format for accessibility and ease-of-editing as new information becomes available, this one is edited by…well…as diverse a group of individuals as you might imagine.  But the WHO is not as important as the WHY...."

Crossing the threshold of Thumpy's two areas of interests is this nugget that will be taken up by the city councilors in Bend this Wednesday night.  If you are a player or business guy in that area that supports as progressive move to improve airsoft's image...we'd urge you to get the info and be a body-in-the-seats at the meeting...

RESPECT is a two-way street, a broad avenue that you not only can drive up and down in your cheap little VW, “sporty” Acura or big, expensive Pagani Huayra…but from time to time, you might have to walk ACROSS that road with the rest of us “pedestrians.”  That’s when you discover that the road you pave does not stop at the end of your own driveway, even at 1 Hacker Way.

Writing All Lives Matter doesn’t make someone a racist.  It makes them race-agnostic.  Banning the use of your products (Facebook/Instagram…) for lawful purposes by the users (airsoft and milsim players, as well as law-abiding gun owners) makes you small, petty and controlling. And frankly, control is not what you should be about.  It is what makes you a Zuckerschmuck. Stop it.  Grow up.

Merlin seems to be on the right track with his thoughts, too….as are a lot of other guys commenting on the ‘webz. We need to be the good guys, shining the foregrip-mounted light of fair play on the morons who are hurting our little game. Air Stupids. Bad Sports and both cheaters and cheater-callers.  Mark Z. included.

Great job by COMBAT SOUTH‘s Stephen Banks for tackling the bad news, putting the positive push on with a local news paper, which did a great service by being fair and objective on this one!

THIS is what we so inelegantly tried to get across on Monday...leave it to the pros like Major B. to nail it to the wall, so that everyone who plays the game can nail it to THEIR wall!  Well Done!
