...still better then my "getting raped on your first date" type of intro to programming: starting with C on windows before I knew what a "function" was, and being exposed to the win32 api just after learning to write a for loop and before I understood what a pointer really was :) ...and a seep of Perl after all of this to sooth me up ;) ...things seem much easier if your first experience is "hardcore" ...I guess exposing your mind to a "gang rape" of PHP, C++, Javascript etc. is similarly mind opening :)

While I see your point, your analogy makes me really uncomfortable.

    You're supposed to make a mental note that rape analogies make some people feel uncomfortable, reminding yourself to think twice before using them in future.

As SquareWheel also said, the rape analogy is pretty tasteless. If you look a little harder, I'm sure you can find a parallel that isn't so cheap and crass.

  ...geezz ...no rape jokes, no telling people to go and kill themselves? ...I can't even imagine what's next ...where's the fun in life without all the sick & twisted humor and a dash of offensive :) (I know, this particular metaphor I used is quite lazy-minded and unimaginative, I agree, so point take for this...)
