    No Metallica for You!

    Apparently, the Swedish National Tax Board controls what Swedes can name their children. A couple petitioned the board to allow them to name their daughter Metallica. The board rejected the request and now they have to come up with another name.

    It seems pretty amazing that a government board is allowed to dictate what Swedish citizens are allowed to name their children. On the other hand, parents who want to name their daughter Metallica makes me think that Sweden needs to license parenthood too.

    So what you're doing is supporting both sides, to be safe? That's the ACS attitude I've grown to know and love.

        I think it's okay that governments control to an extent what parents name their children. I have seen some examples of what parents have tried to name their children, and some of them could easily make the child prone to bullying. Like "Troll", "Pule"(you know, what parents do. Idiotic parents. )

          Our children would make great normal looking people who would simply blend in to society

            Oh God, Gramps. Why? I can leave the question at that, and you can have no doubt what I'm asking of you.

            Why?

              Philophically speaking it breaks down to more of WHY NOT more so than why.

                why not post meaningless spam all day instead of the planned, well thought-out posts I usually make? . One is more visually appealling than the other is the answer.
