John McCain

The man that most anyone would agree should have won the republican presidential nomination in 2000, and would have been a far better president than George W. Bush. However, whether he would make a better president than Obama is highly debatable.

He is also a tough son of a bitch. He was shot down over Vietnam, took a bayonet to the groin, and was held (and tortured) for 5 years in a Vietnam POW camp. Don't nobody fuck with McCain.
Why didn't we get John McCain instead of Dubya?

crank call

A term that was created when someone misheard the expression prank call.

Since the debut of the show Crank Yankers, the name has stuck. This is unfortunate since "crank" call doesn't make any sense.
Person 1: Dude the other day we made a bunch of crank calls, it was hilarious!

Person 2: You made what? You mean PRANK calls, right?

Person 1: Prank call? ... Huh, I guess you're right.

Darfur

Darfur is a region in the country of Sudan. Yet if you ask a liberal, Darfur and Sudan have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. Somehow, they are two completely different and unrelated political issues.

In Darfur, horrible genocide is being committed, hundreds of thousands of innocent people slaughtered needlessly. Everyone must join together to help Darfur, which supposedly the Bush administration does not care about.

However in Sudan, NO ONE is being killed, and anyone who claims so is clearly racist. When Secretary of State Colin Powell gave a speech to say something desperately needed to be done about the genocide in Sudan, he was viciously attacked by liberals; since obviously the situation in Sudan is nothing more than a warmongering Republican lie.
Liberal Sheep: Darfur = GOOD! Sudan = BAD!

date rape

Date rape is an archaic term from a past time.

The definition of date rape: Rape committed by a person known to the victim. That's it. RAPE committed by someone who is NOT a complete stranger to the victim.

Many people nowadays might find this confusing. "Isn't that just rape?" they might ask? Well when the term date rape was coined, no it wasn't. 40, 30, even 20 years ago, what society deemed as rape was a man coming out of a dark alley and forcing sex on a woman with the use of violence; or at least with the strong threat of violence. That act was what society deemed as rape, and if the man was caught he would likely go to prison. Now, what if a woman went to a man's house to have a cup of coffee after a date? If he forced sex on her, even with her pleading him to stop, was that rape? At that time no it was not. If the woman went to the police, all she would likely hear are things like "You were coming on to him, he couldn't help himself." If the case even went to court she would practically be put on trial herself, the defense claiming that she was a slut and the man was just showing her a good time.

It's true. If the man didn't have a knife or beat the woman half to death, clearly it wasn't rape. That's what society believed.

So the term date rape was created. To describe an event of non-consensual sex which didn't fit society's "traditional" view of rape. BUT... today the term is outdated. "Date rape" is now simply considered rape.
I vote the term date rape be stricken from the lexicon. It's outlived its usefulness.
