Dr. Phil tackles Xbox Live racism

I ran across this article about a recent Dr. Phil show. I love my Xbox 360. And I love Xbox live, but this is the exact reason that I don't use the headset or play many games online. The very first time I tried online play with voice chat was playing Uno. Now as a card game goes, you'd think this would be the logical first step. I WAS WRONG!! I had played a few games without the voice on, and it was enjoyable. A nice change from playing a predictable computer opponent. But as soon as I tried the same game with the headset, I was almost instantly turned off. As soon as the game started, with the same people I had just played with, 2 of the 3 other players showed exactly how juvenile they were by swearing and insulting other players almost instantly. I finally had to say something when one of them decided to throw a few racial comments out towards the other player. The exact thing has happened when I tried Halo and a couple other demos online. I have yet to even think about trying it in World of Warcraft or Lord of the Rings: Online, but I will give it a chance. Now, I really don't like Dr. Phil. I think he's a moron, just my opinion, but I will try and catch any re-airing of this show. In the article, I think its a sad statement when a 5-year old child of the gamer in the article asks if the reason they can't play online with daddy is because of the "name calling".
