I’ve never understood the argument that you shouldn’t complain about the environment you interact with because other people interact with worse environments.

I call this the “children of Africa” -argument. Basically, it’s an argument that you can never complain about anything or do anything to better something, because “some kids are starving in Africa”; someone always has it worse. It’s purpose is to belittle and brush aside either the problem worded out or the person saying it (or both).

The downside is, neither can any adult. I think the first name limitations should only apply to kids; legal adults should be able to change their names to whatever they want, no matter how stupid it is. It could only hurt themselves after all

One of my pet peeves: he’s not a herding type of dog, but a livestock guardian. Very important difference in instinct, behaviour and purpose. He does not herd, he guards!
