Quote:What should we think about all the name sakes of Micheal Collins, or the babies named "Osama" after 9/11?
Or godforbid, 'Hussein' after the first Gulf war! It's terrible enough that a baby would be named after an alcoholic drink like Michael Collins (or his equally drunk brother, Tom).
Anyone named 'Who-Sayin' in the west will probably face incredible odds and ignorance, I mean I wouldn't bet on anyone having such a moniker to be a president of the US of A anytime soon.
Quote:Now consider that the swastika (certainly a hated symbol)
Hated and rightfully so, in most of the West. But if we're talking globally and historically, the swastika was not a Nazi invention. Like a lot of what they did, they took an ancient symbol and corrupted it for their own (ab)use. Many people would like the swastika back, and they're not neo-nazis.

The word 'Aryan' IIRC, can also refer to ancient Persia and have nothing to do with 'HHWHITE POWAH'.
Having swords and war paraphenalia may not mean you're a neo nazi, unless you're also going to lump in war historians and archaelogists as nazi sympathizers.
All those things individually and in context may not mean much. But collectively and in this context, well let's just say I'm not convinced that the parents mentioned in the link are Hindu-Persians who are avid WW2 historians. And they just happen to name their offspring 'Hitler', maybe to remind the world to 'Never Forget'. I reeeeally doubt that.
Isn't there a more worthy group deserving of your RAAWR RAAWR RIGHTEOUS RAGE coming to their defense? Like say, pornographers? Legally compliant and freedom of expression loving, pornographers?
If you do feel like replying, I'll save you the trouble and energy. Instead I'll politely hint that legal pornographers can always use your support be it financial, emotional, or political. Everyday their minority yet legal and non-extremist views are being suppressed and oppresed by the hat-pin brigade run government. Not many will come to their help.
But I believe passionate people like you who believe in the cause of Freedom and Liberty can make a difference. Pornographers are under emotional and financial siege from the tyrannical government, almost to the breaking point. One recent production could barely afford to hire 2 women performers, and only 1 cup to share between them. Truly heartbreaking.
