    Dosen`t alter the fact, that "parents" who choose to name their child with a "joke" name, aren`t likely to be good parents. How did you ever come to the conclusion that my stating this simple fact, obligates me to calculate, "how many extra staff do you think it would take to investigate every child name in Australia" ?????

    Because mate I have a better understanding of what the case load is for DOCS and it is groaning under that now. Unless you are going to FUND something like this then just saying it should happen comes under the heading of "griping" of the "These young whippersnappers of today" variety

    I just called you on it and made you think beyond the initial reaction

    Must be nice for you to be satisfied by assuming superior knowledge, when you know nothing about the person you feel superior too. I`m not that easily satisfied myself.

    Rather an odd response, to expect anyone with an opinion, to personally FUND that opinion. PMSLLLLL!!!!!
    By the same token, you will obviously be volunteering to PERSONALLY FUND every one of your own opinions??????

    Aah, no. It's full of Kiwis. I am a New Zealander, not a European.

    as much as we'd like to send some of you off packing as your own race, if you're a non-semitic caucasian, you're a europeon.

    The father of 3-year-old Adolf Hitler Campbell, denied a birthday cake with the child's full name on it by one New Jersey supermarket, is asking for a little tolerance.

    The Campbells' other two children also have unusual names: JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell turns 2 in a few months and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell will be 1 in April.

    My point exactly. It`s amazing that there are people capable of digesting their own food, who can`t grasp the simple fact, that "parents" forcing idiotic names on their kids, might not be ideal parents.

    Then again, people do vote for the greens.

    What about the 99.9% of Kiwis who are born with stubby tails, like a doberman?

    Then again.
    Q: Why do Kiwi girls wear high heeled shoes?
    A: So their knuckles don`t drag on the ground.

    note to AB, & other Kiwi cuzens. No malice intended here. You can even coppy some Kiwi jokes, & turn em into Aussie ones, if you want.

    example:
    Q: What do Kiwis call an IQ of 120?
    A: A suburb.

    could be turned into:
    Q: What do Ausies call an IQ of 120?
    A: A Kiwi suburb.

    Hey if I was younger and could still have kids would it be ok to name my child Mopar? :) On another note I have a nephew in law who wanted to name his little girl: Mercedes Escalade. He won on the name Mercedes but thankfully her middle name is Rose. :) I had a nephew who wanted to name his kid LMNOP but was voted down and another nephew who named his son Urijah but pronounces it Uriah and his daughter Nevaeh which is Heaven spelled backwards. I also knew a radio announcer who's parents named him: Justin Time! :)
