Only historians know about Joseph Stalin? I was unaware of this...

Stupid shit head. If someone was named "stalin" it would be seen as weird. If someone was named "hitler" the same would be thought of.

Naming someone "Joseph"? Everyone is called that. Not many with a first name called "Stalin", nor "Hitler".

It is still no justification for telling parents what they can and can't name their kids. In that case it would fall to opinion and whatever a small group of people deem to be fit.

No. Understand that the high chance of a child losing dignity/getting bullied is far more important than your shitty fucking namings.

Uh oh, the little authoritarian is getting mad.

Egotistical slut.

It is still no justification for regulating names. That ability to go over what you might deem to be "far" =/= grounds to take away the right for children to name their kids what they wish to name their kids.

Again. Do you want to risk a child's dignity?

1. Zion is not a normal name.

It sounds cool and respectable. Pinkypeaches does not.

2. Xxxxxgng is unrealistic, we are talking about actual names, not your World of Warcraft user name.

There are hardcore gaming families that would actually do that. I am not talking about actual fucking names, why would you say that Xxxxxgng is not an actual name when, without regulations, the sky is the limit?

3. Again, what is normal, offensive or uncommon is opinion.

Something that would make the common crowd react/majority disagree, or find it indignifying to the child.

Supporting? I'm not yelling "don't support the troops, support parents who name their kids Assfuck! from the roof tops.

Supporting as meant as a little word that you are infact supporting children to be named fuck all, with the high chance of them being bullied.

I'm just telling people like you

An annoying categorization which is a factor to bullying. "People like you"? Fuck that. Don't categorize me.

that you have no authority tell parents what they can and can't name their children, if you wanted to do that I suggest you get a time machine and go back to Nazi Germany where you could have banned every name you wanted to.

You have no authority to have a child lose their dignity. Apparently you don't value that as much anyway.

1. Assfuck is an example, not an actual name that would likely be used.

Assfuck is a possible name for a mentally deranged family.

2. Do you know what the phrase "mind your own business means" do you? It means stay out of other people's lives and stop trying to take control.

Who are these people? What are you talking about?

3. Again, opinion.

So a bunch of bullies are picking on bill for being nerdy. In another dimension, bill's parents decided to name him Assfuck instead. The bullies in this dimension do not care or judge is name, and it does not change anything.

Definitely opinion.

So majorities should decide everything?

Why? Do you just want a few people to decide everything for the majority of individuals to be screwed over?

What would you prefer to be screwed over? Some people or more people?

That in cases of how you can and can not express yourself will be determined by the common opinion. The common opinion would likely deem that Keetly or Zion would be non-normal names.

These are tangible names. Do you think someone would be indignified or bullied for this name? If not, great, keep it.

Just because a fraction of the population says "that name offends me" or "that name is weird" it is not ground to take legal against naming your kids that.

But for that kid to have people think of him that way is just evil for his parents. That kid would feel sad that people have a negative opinion about his name, he wouldn't feel happy.

Do you want more sad children?

Most people likely would. Again, common opinion should have no say in naming children. It was also common opinion that naming your kid Franklin, Winston, Joseph or and other Ally leader was bad... but then again, you don't want to know that.

Bad examples. Those people were more renown by their surnames, and naming your children after their well-known surnames is what is relevant to make people react and have a negative opinion on their name.

you can't assume that this authoritarian idea of telling people what they can and can't name their kids will eventually be abused, as if it being used in the first place isn't already abuse.

You need to understand that sometimes people need to be told what to do for their safety. In this case, the safety of the child.

(Spoiler alert: "god forbid" is an expression, not a way of proclaiming your faith)

That was such a spoiler. I already know about the expression, but I wanted to joke about it to piss you off if you were religious.

Did you know that there are a lot of things that would make it worse?

Stupid logic again! Just because there is other shit out there doesn't change shit.

Did you know that instead of acting like a Nazi and telling people what they can and can't name their children because of bullying,

you should try and take a stand against bullying in schools instead?

And it is considered a Nazi act to make walking outside naked illegal?

You are so dumb; bullying will ALWAYS happen in the world. To stop bullying, you would have to completely change the nature of a human being.

Humans like to categorize things, and be biased to the rest. Giving less of a means to categorize someone as weird will lessen bullying; ergo this is standing against bullying right now.

This is generally how it works:

1. The bully finds a child

2. If the child is weaker than the bully, the bully proceeds to step 3. If the child is stronger than the bully, the bully either repeats step 1 or gets another bully to help out.

3. The bully(s) began harassing the kid and THEN pick out reason to continue.

It doesn't ONLY work like that. You are generalizing things again.

Billy will get bullied, but now his name is Assfuck, which means that he will be picked on by being nerdy AND having a weird name.

Did you see that "AND"?

And if Billy was a perfectly normal kid with no reason to be bullied on, but then was named Assfuck, he would have a reason to be bullied on, thus, the more children are bullied.

Now I don't expect you to really understand this, but parents naming their child is a personal thing that is up to them. Stop intruding in their lives and telling them what they can and can't name their child.

Oh my that was so hard to understand.

I am not intruding on their lives, you are intruding on their child's dignity like a predator.

You can verbally abuse anyone, a 4'3'' guy could verbally abuse a 6'8'' guy.

THAT SOUNDS SO STUPID.

So you ignore everything and even the chance of a 6'8" verbally abusing a 4'3" (Which usually happens, since the taller person is less scared to talk smack to those smaller/weaker than them.)

And again, people have killed themselves OVER WORDS ON THE INTERNET. Has that somehow left your mind?

I expected a somewhat smarter answer than that...

I DON'T HAVE TIME TO MAP OUT THE WHOLE FUCKING THING FOR YOU.

In the end, it all comes down to whether the name would indignify the child.

How is having the right to be racist, well, racist?

Being a racist is a thought, making thoughts illegal is just wrong. You can express your thoughts until you become violent.

Again, people kill themselves over verbal abuse. The death of thousands of children through verbal abuse is enough to show that.

I am not talking about banning thoughts, bimbo slut, although I don't know where the fuck you came up with that stupid waste of text. There is a difference between thinking about something, and talking/taking action. Speaking racist things is a no-no, thinking racist things is not encouraged, but allowed.

First banning names, now banning thoughts? You seem to be a big fan of fascism.

What a fucked up conclusion that came out of no where.

UNCALLED FOR.

Blowing off steam because someone called you names? Aww poor baby,

Now that's just too far. Basically we've been joking, but now you're actually going to bully me? That's sad.

lets just ban all names and just have everyone numbered instead, then no more bullying for you... I'll make sure you're given the number 69.

That's so dumb. Never said anything about banning all names, I just said that we shouldn't let children be indignified by a name that indignified them.

Egotistic FUCK.

That's just sick. You actually want children to be indignified now? Talk about exaggeration.

I am the side that actually cares for, and protects the children and their dignity.

You seem to value going against that more.

The names that I am referring to, are purely the ones that would indignify the child. That's all. Those are the only names I am talking about, because I want them to be protected from bullying.

So does calling someone a racial epithet, but calling someone a racial epithet is not "assaulting" someone, nor is it valid justification for assaulting someone.

I don't care if it's not assaulting them, it's damaging them to an extent, which makes them prone to further abuse and suicide.

I presume the government also prevented the "logs" from leaving. Unjustly imprisoning someone is assaulting them.

The real assault was when they tested poisons on them and let many die.

Agreed.

What are you advocating?

You can't use your 'getting over it' to refute others who couldn't, and committed suicide.

This is an appeal to emotion, not logic. What are you advocating?

I'm advocating an end to mandatory attendance at public schools, to allow people who do not wish to be there, to leave.

It is logic, when clearly verbal abuse has affected the lives, and has taken the lives of many.

Giving the child the choice to leave school at any given time would affect their education, and it would not solve the conflict between the child and bully. Instead, action should be taken against bullying, which is what people are 'trying' to do right now. It's not worth changing this debate about how to take action in preventing bullying.
