Sometimes your life would be easier if you just changed your name.


"Why should I? He's the one who sucks"


It's unjust.


Sure, but if tomorrow some dude with the same name as me decides to go on a killing spree, or sexually assault a toddler, I'd change my name. Just or unjust.

I'd have to change my email domain too though, so that would suck, but at least I could put up a website there explaining my new name and that I am not the now world famous terrorist who shot up a kindergarden/fondled the pope/ate a baby.


I see - that would suck.

"You're not related to THE Adolf Hitler .. (I hope?)" -hypothetical conversation

[pope fondling - just getting closer to God]
