- >(I must agree with at least half of this post. I also dont believe in
- taking this video game too seriously. I DO think that PC is, will be, and,
- should have been a way of life. Not just a debate here and there that pops
- up when something comes out that offends people. There is also a small point
- to be made for words and thier context, but thats irrelavant. If i walk up to
- your mom or aunt and call her a BITCH when i really mean "nice lady" you
- and her would both get offended. Even if i told you that thats what bitch
- means to me. The reason being that becuz society has put a bad label on the
- word. Not becuz i meant any disrespect. Call people what they wanna be called
- its not hard. People who dont like PC are usally ignorant people who are
- to fuckin lazy to correct a bad habit. I would like to here anyones argument
- for why they dont like PC. Email me.
