Help[Opinions] Re: Insults people should stop using for names
in reply to a message by ShioTanbo1
I'm afraid all us sexist racists didn't invite your opinions in the first place. Shows how tactless, thoughtless and rude we must be. Are you sure that you aren't using your holier-than-thou stance to create awareness of names you perceive as horrible, peculiar or sexual? Or do you have difficulty in telling the Opinions board and the Comments section apart?
As for Hitler: I know of a man named Hitler who was born in what was then Southern Rhodesia in the early 1950s. My guess is that his parents were opposed to British colonialism, wanted independence for their country, and gave their son the name of the most prominent opponent of Britain that they could think of. Not a lack of education, therefore; just a matter of interpretation. Not something I would do, but I wouldn't outlaw the use of names I don't happen to like either.
