Words have meaning.

I could probably write a much longer blog about how words have meaning but I only want to say this......

STOP SAYING "YOU GOT RAPED" ON XBL!!!!!!!

This stupid phrase really pisses me off.  Rape is a serious word that describes an even more heinous and serious act.  Trivializing the word on a game over XBL is demeaning to the thousands of women (and sometimes men) who are actually raped every year.  All you've done is win a round on a video game.  Just say good game or nice job and shut the f*ck up already.  Of all the things the timmies say, this for me is one of the worst.  And yes, if you say it, you are a timmy.  Next time you say it think about it in terms of your mother, sister or daughter being raped.  Civility starts with you.

Sheesh, how do I make a smart-aleck comment about such a serious subject? Good thoughts, man.

First time I ever played on Xbox Live, the first thing I heard over the headset was a combination of that phrase and the n-word. Just like the people who say the phrase, it does not belong in an online game.

Ive told some 2o2pers in my party that word wasnt cool. They thought I was joking. apparently they didnt know that pregnant redheads dont joke. They do now. \r \r I understand that some bad words have no subsitute. Hell, I even drop the F bomb on occasion. But that word and the C words are some that NEVER need to be used.
