I wonder if this might be the right time to launch my new racist internet bakery - Swasti-Kakes.
I’d have at least one customer.
OK, so now we can be sure that in the gene pool of humanity, Heath Campbell is the rust that accumulates in the pipes below the drain when the years of kiddie urine make the plumbing start to rot.
This guy doesn’t know what the fuck he’s doing or why he’s doing it, to judge by his public dribbling. “It’s just a name, it doesn’t mean anything.” “It’s just a swastika, it doesn’t mean anything.” Nothing means anything, I guess, and hey, Hitler’s dead, so why are you meanies assuming “Hitler” means THAT Hitler? He’s reclaiming the name Adolf Hitler, just like the blacks reclaimed the n-word they all call themselves at the monthly meeting.
To top it off, white supremacists are going to start to buy these morons birthday cakes every year until they start marrying black people or dying from meth binges or heroin overdoses.
Especially to DianaG.
It’s starting, y’all.
I am seeing words and interpreting them wrong, and insisting I’m right.
I have had instances like this before, but very minor . Kinda like being dislexic.
My friend explained what was meant. It took her three tries, because even though I was hearing the sentence, my brain kept re-building it wrong.
I know that I will have good days and bad days, but last night was horrendous.
I kept asking myself, “Why are they all not seeing this?”, and I became frustrated to the point of tears, because if I do shit like that now in the Early Onset stage, what’s gonna happen later down the line???
That is what I meant by, I’m scared.
This morning I had a clear thought and asked myself, “What if you are wrong, Bill?” , and that’s when I decided I needed the whole thing explained to me, and that is what we did.
So as Oak says, I need to chill out and refocus, but I mean damn, y’all - out of control to the point of being combative???
I’m so sorry. Don’t know what else to say, because I’m afraid I’ll say it wrong.
Sorry, everyone, okay?
Bill
Yabbut, if they got it right, their cake would be eaten first! That’s got to be worth some extra effort.
Bill/Quasi: don’t worry about it. Take care of yourself, man.
Take care, Quasi. Here’s hoping for more good days than bad and a cure for this damned disease.
Dude, the scary thing is that people who aren’t in your position need to ask themselves that all the time and don’t bother to. Especially in the Pit.
Best wishes,
Knead
Or not, it turns out.
Thanks for the cite. It sounds like they already have, and hate only begets hate. I hope their child can over come it. He’s got his work cut out for him with a name like that.
Quasi –
Please try not to feel bad about yourself.
So there was a misunderstanding and some exchanges got heated and maybe some feelings were bruised – it’s not exactly the first time this has happened to anyone. Apologies and explanations have been offered by several, and I think we all should shrug and move on. If nothing else, this is supposed to be a season of goodwill and peace all those good things.
Now, back to the topic: I think giving your child a ‘wacky’ name is fine IF you are famous enough that everyone will hear about the name and get the “wow that is stupid” reaction over with BEFORE they actually meet the child.
I mean, do you suppose Moon or Dweezil or Chastity or River or (insert famous kidling w/weird name here) had to face the “Your name is what??” incredulity? At least not very often, would be my guess.
OTOH, if you aren’t on the level of celebrity where your baby’s birth announcement is given a cover story by People, then give your kid a ‘normal’ name. And consider that the child may someday need a name dignified enough to be a doctor or judge or even president. Even if you want to call your kid ‘Bitsy’ or ‘Micky’, at least put it down as ‘Elizabeth’ or ‘Michael’ on the birth certificate.
Quasi, your apology is happily accepted. I hope you’ll accept mine as well. I’m sorry for what you’re going through, and I wish you well.
Quasimodem, it’s sure OK with me. I’m glad you came back. I’d actually like to thank you for showing me exactly what it’s like for someone you know, who you *know *is smart, to have an Early Onset moment.
Very bestest wishes to you.
Re the OP, does anyone else think Mom and Dad here are just plain lying about the not-racist, happy-swastika, etc. bit? rather than actually being that clueless?
Well now I feel like the biggest asshole in the world. In my defense I was not aware of your particular situation. In light of that I hope you will accept my sincere apology. I will try to remember it in the future.
This raises another question, how much slack are we supposed to give people based on their circumstances? I mean are we supposed to give **Lekatt **and **Kanicbird **a pass because they are obviously delusional? What about that Peter??Guy (crazy anti James Randi guy)? I feel that Quasi should be informed when he steps over the line, but now that we know the reason, it should be done with tact. But what about the real crazies?
Maybe someone less lazy than me will start a thread…
Of course. Although you have nothing to apologize for, Diana. You were broadsided by my stubborn stupidity.
I need to let y’all know that until someone mentioned it, I had no idea I was in the Pit, and kept wondering about all the name-calling! 
When that happens to me in GD, and I’ve posted something, I usually just “take off my shoes” and tiptoe out. 
Thanks, Y’all
Bill
I hate black people because every one of them at school beat the fucking shit out of me every single day of my life.
Signed,
Adolf Hitler Campbell.
I’ve always wondered why anyone ever feels the need to give their child a name that will result in that child later in life being forced to introduce themselves to people or fill out official paperwork followed by a disclaimer about the fact that their parents are clueless assholes.
“Hi! I’m Moxie Crimefighter Gillette - no, really it is! My dad’s a jackass.”
or
“Yes, my name really is Adolf Hitler Campbell - sorry about that, my parents are assholes.”
Call me crazy, but I’ve always wanted to give my (as yet potential) children names that did not immediately cause them to have to explain to total strangers that I’m a moronic douchebag incapable of expending even a moment’s rational critical thought regarding the possible repercussions of my actions. Also, names that do not immediately cause total strangers to know for a fact that I am an imbecile. There are things about myself I want strangers to find out for themselves
It’s a good thing you didn’t go to school with cannibals. Then you’d have been Adolph Hitler Campbell Soup.
My apologies as well. I was not aware you might have some real-life problems. I also assumed you knew you were in the Pit. My remarks were partially in jest in any case. Now knowing the situation, I take no offense at anything you’ve said.
Not to be too flippant, but I wouldn’t worry too much. My girlfriend does that EVERY DAY. It just means I need to stop by the florist on the way home.
Stupidest.Parents.Ever
Oh my god. This happened just 15 minutes away from where I live.
This area is turning into Mississippi.
