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.

[pope fondling - just getting closer to God]
