Debate: Should the government be regulating baby names?
Side: NO

So you're expecting everyone to be historians now?!Only historians know about Joseph Stalin? I was unaware of this...But people will have a strong opinion over that name. A strong opinion that child would not want in his life.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.Fuck you.I am here to protect a child's dignity. Without regulations, they could go infinitely far.Uh oh, the little authoritarian is getting mad. 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.You know for shit certain that I know that Zion sounds normal. Are you an idiot to know no difference between naming a child Xxxxxgng and Zion?1. Zion is not a normal name.2. Xxxxxgng is unrealistic, we are talking about actual names, not your World of Warcraft user name.3. Again, what is normal, offensive or uncommon is opinion. But you are supporting a reason for kids to bully.Supporting? I'm not yelling "don't support the troops, support parents who name their kids Assfuck!" from the roof tops. I'm just telling people like you 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.Again, GUN LOGIC.Assfuck would of made it WORSE.Do you know what the word "worse" means? It means something more bad than the bad before. Wouldn't that be bad?1. Assfuck is an example, not an actual name that would likely be used. 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.3. Again, opinion.But there is 'normal' in common opinion.So majorities should decide everything? 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. 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.Well guess what, those names are actually normal. Normal as fuck. Actually, not many would find them strange or offensive enough to have them illegal. Basically no one would.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.You can't assume that everyone on Earth is normal/mentally well.(Spoiler alert: God doesn't exist)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.(Spoiler alert: "god forbid" is an expression, not a way of proclaiming your faith)You are thinking of it close-mindedly in 2D. Are you aware of that? Are you aware of the fact that this isn't an efficient way to think?Did you know that having a fucked up name doesn't help?Do you know that things don't help out sometimes, and even make it worse?Did you know that there are a lot of things that would make it worse?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?People can decide to bully someone on multiple reasons. Having a weird name will make it worse, it will give them another reason to verbally abuse them.Allow me to shed some light upon the whole "bullying thing. You act as if the board of bullies gets together which traits, names and looks are and aren't fair game to pick on kids over.This is generally how it works:1. The bully finds a child2. 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."stop intruding in other people's lives."What the fuck?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. And don't underestimate the power of verbal abuse; people have killed themselves over words on the internet.You can verbally abuse anyone, a 4'3'' guy could verbally abuse a 6'8'' guy.It would all come down to whether more than four X's in a name is too much.I expected a somewhat smarter answer than that...Bitch please, that's racist.Although I'm sorry you feel sad that we don't have the right to be racist. It's just not fair.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.First banning names, now banning thoughts? You seem to be a big fan of fascism. It hasn't got anything to do with intellect. I'm just blowing off some steam on the subject on how it annoys me that you use this =/= little nigga.Blowing off steam because someone called you names? Aww poor baby, 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.
