TESTEMONAIL:  Right and Discordianism allows room for personal interpretation. You have your theories and I have mine. Unlike Christianity, Discordia allows room for ideas and opinions, and mine is well-informed and based on ancient philosophy and theology, so, my neo-Discordian friends, open your minds to my interpretation and I will open my mind to yours. That's fair enough, right? Just claiming to be discordian should mean that your mind is open and willing to learn and share ideas. You guys are fucking bashing me and your laughing at my theologies and my friends know what's up and are laughing at you and honestly this is my last shot at putting a label on my belief structure and your making me lose all hope of ever finding a ideological group I can relate to because you don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about and everything I have said is based on the founding principals of real Discordianism. Expand your mind.

If anything kids will make fun of another kid's name if it can be mocked with a similar sounding word. The name itself isn't what causes the mocking, it's just a means to do so.

THIS! When I was at primary school my name was (and still is) normal and boring as fuck. So the mean kids would tant me with shit that rhymed and try and piss me off that way. It didn't piss me off but I'd beat the shit out them anyway since they'd obviously gone to all the effort and it seemed rude not to.

I'm with Junkenstein. The only real thing I learned at school, that I couldn't have picked up on my own was - violence is the only 100% effective form of communication :lulz:
I had a similar time at highschool, except it took a decade before i got good at hurting people.

So they're forced to pick on each other for other reasons, which, of course, they do.
This is truth.

The people at the school I'm working with tell me they have more than one child named "Messiah" and nothing unusually bad seems to happen to them.
Q: How regularly do you hire 8th graders?
A: We have hired a number of FORMER 8th graders.

Well, all the hippy names went thru, if stuff like RainbowPrairieRiver are valid...

Weird that they're making him take the father's last name but whatever.

Also that's a really cute baby.

And Judge Ballew is a shitbean for putting the parents through this bullshit.
