dog namesAs humans we place a huge emphasis on identity, this is made very clear when naming a new member of the family which can often have massive repercussions within the wider family unit.

With humans so much information can be transfered with a name, the age of the person, the race, religion, sex, social status, cultural and language group. For example someone named Gladys Marjourie Stockton-Prowes would probably be a female aged over sixty, protestant Christian of a proud wealthy English family. Whereas Muhammad ibn Hasa would denote a Arabic or Persian, muslim male of unknown age due to the common practice in islamc countries of using common first names for the past thousand years.

Barnaby JoyceOnly a couple of years ago Barnaby Joyce was Pillowed for suggesting that a western economy could go into default not long after that he lost his position as Shadow Finance Minister. Howled down as being an alarmist and someone with little knowledge of the Financial Markets, it seems incredible that those who took that bat to Barnaby are not so forthcoming with their criticisms of President Obama, who in the past few weeks has suggested that it is the United States of America that may be unable to pay its welfare recipients and default on its massive debts.

Christine NixonI watched in absolute bemusement last night as the former Victorian Police and Disaster Management Boss Christine Nixon Blamed everything from being obese to having a vagina as to the reasons she was vilified by the media.

This seems to be something of a habit of some people who get into strife... lets blame everything except my actions.
