CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
This classifies as dweebish!

Yah, maybe for a pet. But this kid has to live with this for the rest of his life. No offense, but... this kid is probably going to wind up getting picked on alot in his life, with a name like that... "Version 2.0" they may as well have tied an anchor to his neck and dropped him off a pier after his birth. That would have been more merciful.BAchristian said:

You don't have to read it, right?Matrona said:Even if what you say is deeply and personally offensive and tasteless?
To insinuate that I would treat infants as objects is patently absurd.Matrona said:

She didn't accuse you of treating infants badly.
She said it was tasteless to use infant-abuse as a source of humor.
I must admit that I agree.
Make more sense?

I know she didn't, and I never said that either. She said my comments objectified infants, thereby treating them as objects and not human. I say that that is absurd.AudreyWhite said:
The subject is so preposterous as to clearly dispel any notion that I would actually find said practice acceptable.
Good for you. However, when I read these objections, a phrase keeps coming to mind for me... it goes like this: I don't care.
There was never anything misunderstood. It always made sense.

How did nyj use infant abuse as a source of humor? He was emphasizing that it is a bad idea to name your kid something stupid. He wasn't advocating drowning your child or that it would be better to drown your child than name it Version 2.0
Im confused about what nyj did wrong...

It's a Boy! Jace David- Due 1/20/07
I don't think his name was "Version 2.0" I think it was First, Last, 2.0 instead of First, Last, Jr. or First, Last, II. I highly doubt people will go around calling him Version 2.0, and if a teacher reads it they will most likely read it the same as First, Last, II would be read, or not even read it at all. My little brother is a Junior and hardly anyone knows that, one of my best friends is a III'd and not many people know that either, these parents just wanted to be different, maybe not the smartest move but I don't think this is something that will humiliate the child for the rest of his life.

Jon Blake Cusak 2.0 according to the article. A silly name in my opinion, but parents unfortunately give their parents many silly names. Remind me to tell you all the story about my name once. The short of it is that my official two given names are: Eva Frank, my second name should have been Marussia, but instead I was named after my father Jozef Jan, who was suposed to be named Francois... Anyone still following? *G*
And actually... Belgiums Catholicism lays at the base of all the confusion in the first place.

Espen could be beautiful... named after the tree, like Willow, or Violet or Rose. Even 'Begonia' is an oldfashioned Belgian name. But then you can go to the other extreme and start calling your children 'Oak' or 'Fir'... Or Silverbirch...
