There is an old photo of me from when I was 9 or 10 years old waving a sign with a heart on it that said "LIFE". My parents dragged me along on an anti-abortion protest. It was a massive church thing — we all piled in busses and drove to DC from NH. I am so pissed off at them for doing that to me. And the best part is…

I thought there was already a federally required distance that protestors had to stay from the building? Or am I just living in dreamland? Not that 20' or 30' or even 50' is enough.

I think the fact that you know One Direction negates your feelings of old!

Yep. It's gotten to the point that if you're going to say anything controversial, you have to submit your socially conscious resume first in order to get your statement approved as "not assholey" when all you really want to say is that its nice that people aren't looking orange and gross.

Look. I stated something that I did when I was a child. I said it was wrong. You continue to harp on this when I have done nothing wrong. You're being a jackass.

But he's yelling at YOU like YOU'RE the racist, not your MIL. This guy...

Take your offense and stuff it.

Yes. AND WE WERE LIKE, TEN YEARS OLD.

But it isn't up to YOU to determine the child's future prospects — that is the job of the parents. And if the parents feel the name is good enough, then why do you think you know better?

Yep. There are so many great names that have meanings attached to them. That doesn't mean we don't get to use those names!!

Not to mention that I specifically stated that the names we giggled over are URBAN LEGENDS and not actual names.

I am speaking for myself and all the other little white suburban girls that I would giggle with over such names. Perhaps you were born perfect. I wasn't and am ok with admitting it.

And I assume you stood up to your boss and demanded that she stop breaking the law? Or did you just quietly go about your business?

Iceland has the same thing — there is a list of acceptable names. But the US, hey, we're the fuckin' melting pot. We name our kids whatever we want. You got a problem with it? We're America! No but seriously, this is illegal and you can name your kid pretty much anything (except like, Shithead).

Same goes for a lot of judges. Around here (Florida), judges are not allowed to let you know their views, political positions, or any other information that might help you make an informed decision on who should sit the bench. Instead, you have to choose based on the prettiest campaign signs. It is an asinine system…

Oh! I hadn't even noticed the eyebrows — they're KILLING me!!!

Messiah isn't even a "ghetto" name. I mean, it is unusual but it isn't like some of the urban legend names that we giggle over (like Lemon'jello and Oran'jello).

You can tell by listening to the judge, too, that she is totally racist. She doesn't have a good explanation for allowing "Jesus".

I do not understand how the judge thinks this is any sort of legal.
