seth seems to have a dislike of anything penge puts on here and is always ready to have a go at him.all makes for good debate...though i do feel he can over the top on some things like this thread.....
As you say, bflb, it makes for a good debate. If you feel I am sometimes OTT, then so be it, but often I'm fighting a one-man battle against numerous other posters. I know I'm usually voicing a minority opinion (as far as HOL is concerned anyway), but that doesn't bother me. I'll say what I feel to be the truth and if others don't like it I don't honestly care. I won't be a sheep and follow the herd!

I had in mind what Seth put when Penge started this thread, but I thought I'd see the way it evolved first. As it is, it has swung wildy from debates and accusations to silliness, which is all good in my book. It doesn't bother me in slightest that Mohammed is up in the top 20 - remember, that's the top 20, ie, no more than 5%. It's not exactly a huge impact event. And people might name their kids after Mohammed Ali, widely acclaimed as the best boxer of all time, and people of every creed and religion have said so. As for me, I'm a top 3 guy, both good and bad methinks.

I've found this website that shows how popular a name has been for the last century. Before 1980 Mohammed was always ranked lower than 1000 rising to 812 in the 1980s and 599 in the 1990s. My name, Nicholas was 8th in the 1990s but dropped out of the top 100 last year after going from 64th in 2000 to 93rd in 2003. Edited by Holmesdale Nick (07 Jan 2005 1:25pm)

Amazing, 11 pages. Penge, you're a wind up. Why did you have to mention the name 'Mohammed'? You knew full well how it would be percieved. I know why, it's coz you felt like baiting the 'loony lefties'. And it worked a treat.

Mohammed has become one of the most popular names for baby boys in England and Wales. [Link]
I should have known a Loony Left would yet again, try to accuse or insinuate somebody of being racist... I'm actually more concerned somebody would call their child Jack than Mohammed!

In case it upsets anyone? This sounds like Political Correctness to me, the bain of our society. One person raised a question mark, apologised for getting the wrong end of the stick, and everyone else got on with discussing a good story which everyone has an opinion on - good and bad. I've got an idea, let's start threads that are dull and get no replies. Let's not talk about issues that affect our daily lives, JUST in case we offend someone! This message board would be really great then... While we're at it, let's write to the BBC and all the other news organisations and tell them to stop writing stories about issues such as the Mohammed story in case it starts winding up people. In fact, let's shut down the HOL because it's offensive to Brighton fans if they stumble across it...
