pwned, you noobs

So it seems some guy says he was lied to, and his girlfriend had a kid with him when she wasn’t “supposed to be able to”, and now he’s been forced to play $500 a month in… whatever that thing is where guys pay money for separated kids.

Only thing is… this guy is saying he’s not going to pay, and he’s suing someone, I’m not sure who exactly, but that’s not the point. He’s suing, saying, essentially, that “if women can abort(1) kids they don’t want, then I shouldn’t have to pay for kids I don’t want”… and the “pro-choice” (or whatever they call themselves these days… I prefer “pro-death”/”pro-abortion”) can’t say “no, you can’t do that” without seriously undermining the reasons they’ve given to push for abortion.

Women can kill babies, but men aren’t allowed to stop giving them money? There’s an okay to killing them, and a no to stop supporting them with money. I’d say some priorities are mixed up… neither of them are right, neither of them should be allowed. But it’s becoming apparent that there’s something odd going on here.

In World of Warcraft, we have a word for this: pwned
Pro-Choice groupies and just been pwned.

pwned

A corruption of the word “Owned.” This originated in an online game called Warcraft, where a map designer misspelled “owned.” When the computer beat a player, it was supposed to say, so-and-so “has been owned.” Instead, it said, so-and-so “has been pwned.”

It basically means “to own” or to be dominated by an opponent or situation, especially by some god-like or computer-like force.
