Let’s face it, naming a kid Adolph Hitler will absolutely guarantee this kid is beaten up every day at school, and will never be able to get a job. If that isn’t unnecessary mental suffering or pain, I don’t know what is.

The child can be homeschooled. As for never being able to get a job, the kid can change his name at 18, as long as the family doesn’t force the child to get a job, that doesn’t even play a role.

I think there should be some sort of competency test for parents before they can give birth. Most folks (at least those on this blog) have no idea just how widespread these irresponsible parents are, and how they’re breeding like rabbits!

I think you’re just about the biggest hypocrite in the universe.

Here you are opposing parents that named their child after a man that killed millions of people to control the race, intellect, genetics, and health of the people in his country, and you’re suggesting that we institute an exam to measure the competency of individuals to reproduce a child to CONTROL THE POPULATION.

What if a mentally challenged couple wanted to have a child? Would you deny those people their God-given rights to reproduce? What would you suggest the government do should people ignore said competency test as would likely happen, and go ahead and have a child? Would you kill it? Would you steal it? Did you even think that far? Or does your socialist mind not think that far ahead when your socialist hands type your socialist rhetoric?

Maybe Ed and Allah need to institute a competency test to control who should, and should not post on here. It would sure as hell keep morons like you out.

Again, I’m not interested in the government deciding who should be parents or not…

…but screwing up your kids is most definitely NOT just between the kid and the parent.

WE pay the price when the kid acts up in school and disrupts other kids from learning. We also pay when they put the kid in an alternative school (taxes go to fund these). We also pay for increased insurance premiums when they decide to break into our houses or steal our cars. And our taxes go to pay for their food and lodging when they get sent to the local penal institute.

Now, I’m speaking generally here, not all screwed up kids go that route and I’m certainly not saying this is the case for Mr. “let’s name our kid after the greatest mass murder in history” and his children.

I’m just noting that we live in a community, and often times the choices we make DO have an impact on others in our community.

I’m not speaking about abusing a child. Abusing a child should always be prevented (here’s the catch) – If significant evidence can be found.

Until dear old dad starts beating that kid’s ass like a man, it ain’t a shred of your business, and anyone else needs to butt the hell out.

I read and agree with you a lot of the time, but you’re just wrong on this. I wonder what you’re going to think when the state defines “instilling religious based values, and forcing a child to attend religious services against their will” as abuse. Surely you’ll change your stance on the topic once it hits a little closer to home.

This guy naming his kid “Adolf Hitler” and his other kid “Aryan Nation” is stupid, I agree. But I hardly see how that will directly influence the child to break into your car, end up in prison, rob a store, or otherwise. This is beyond absurd.
