We Really Should Kill People Based on Intelligence
 

That's terrible. I believe in free speech and all, but... wow.

i just wonder what he'll change his name to in 15 years once he no longer needs his father's permission to do so.

Heinrich Himmler?

Wow. Worst names ever. They're just stupid and racist :-/. I think not getting a birthday cake is the least of their problems. Wait until the kids meet Jewish kids in middle and high school.

In middle and high school? These people live in New Jersey, they probably have Jewish neighbors.

i'm thinking more in terms of average teenage rebellion coupled with the fact that even at 3 years old it sounds like the kid is embarrassed by his own name. i like to think he'll likely go as far as possible away from pappy's tastes, like methusela goldstein or something.

on the other hand it's not like adolf / adolph is 'that' uncommon of a name, at least in french areas. it's the apparent focus on the middle name that messes everything up.

as for the title of the thread... should people really be put to death for the ignorance created by the untreated abuse they suffered as children? how would that be any different than the nazi regime that systematically rounded up and killed anyone who didn't score high enough on the aryan checklist?

oh! according to the A-OK politically correct social behavior list giving your child a very unpopular name means we have to shoot you in the face! it's the 'right' thing to do...

lol

Definitely. If they asked for "Adolf Campbell" or even just "Adolf" on the cake it might have raised a couple eyebrows but it wouldn't have been a big deal. It's the name "Adolf" with the name "Hitler" that's the problem.

I almost laughed.

:laughing: My friend told me about this today and I didnt believe him.
