This has nothing to do with the topic. But PE, when did you become a forum moderator?

What about Plato or Socrates? I think that is quite interesting and a good idea. Socrates isn't a bad name, unconvential yes, bad no.
My uncle's name is Socrates. He's also pretty freaking brilliant.

"This is my main concern with Obama; what if he has been groomed since childhood to blend in with the zionists and infidels? What if he has been led along by a radical islamic terrorist organization and positioned to become an influential politician?
What if Obama gets into White House and turns out to be some crazy muslim terrorist? What do we do then? We'll be pretty screwed. It could happen." -- by some fucking nutjob

I am one of those few people whose parents chose to call him by his middle name while he was growing up.
My first name is Peter and my middle name is Carlos. The only people who ever called me Peter were teachers who saw my entire name written out on a class list.

Me too: Donald Andrew. Go by Andrew. Can't stand Donald (sorry for all the Don's out there). Call me Donald and it's likely I won't even notice (just ask my teachers).

I fell in love with the first cute girl that I met.
