it makes sense if your parents give you a fucked up name and you would even have problems to get a job with that name. but i don't really remember the names anymore but i believe i read once about it (maybe it wasn't that bad) |
Oh, that makes sense now. I just didn't get it at first since you know, I still don't know who he is! ;P
In that video, the guy was using a ridiculous slippery slope argument.
He says the laws are for everybody to follow, but that statement is not necessarily true either. Some laws are protective over certain groups, some laws are only for certain people.

Why am I crazy? You're the one who still won't let me know who he is!

Robert Frederick Zenon "Bob" Geldof, KBE,[1] (born 5 October 1951) is an Irish singer, songwriter, author, occasional actor and political activist. He rose to prominence as the lead singer of the Irish rock band The Boomtown Rats in the late 1970s and early 1980s alongside the punk rock movement. The band had hits with his compositions "Rat Trap" and "I Don't Like Mondays".[2][3] He co-wrote "Do They Know It's Christmas?", one of the best-selling singles of all time,[2][4][5] and starred in Pink Floyd's 1982 film Pink Floyd The Wall.
Geldof is widely recognised for his activism, especially anti-poverty efforts concerning Africa.[6] In 1984 he and Midge Ure founded the charity supergroup Band Aid to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia.[4] They went on to organise the charity super-concert Live Aid the following year and the Live 8 concerts in 2005.[7] Geldof currently serves as an adviser to the ONE Campaign, founded by fellow Irishman Bono.[8] A single father, Geldof has also been outspoken for the fathers' rights movement.[9] Geldof has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, was granted an honorary knighthood by Queen Elizabeth II, and is a recipient of the Man of Peace title which recognises individuals who have made "an outstanding contribution to international social justice and peace", among numerous other awards and nominations.[10][11]

I had never heard of him in my entire 14 years on this earth.
Wow. What a terrible idea. What kind of nation has so much government involvement that they tell you what you can name your kids? Dumbest power to give a government. I guess some people don't like freedom though.

| gergroy said: how do people even let the government be in charge of this kind of crap? Who had the idea of a freaking name registry? It's like marriage, who had the bright idea of letting the government decide who could marry who? These are personal things that government has no business being involved in. Governments should be in charge of enforcing laws that ensure safety and stability of the country and its citizens, not restricting personal freedoms. Just my two cents on the matter... |
WRONG.
Seriously why is it so hard to understand that some parents are just stupid and name their children after completely idiotic things ?
This is obviously a measure against bullying or rather to give children a fair chance in life.
If you hit your child with a baseball bat it wouldn't be the government's business either according to your logic.
Fact is no one OWNS a child, not even the parents and if they mistreat a child in some way, it IS the government's business.
I would agree though that you should be able to re-name yourself (no matter what name) ONCE after you become an adult.
figth girl. fight for the right to be called your name.
