Help[Opinions] Re: Samantha
in reply to a message by Paul
I love this name, but can't abide the thought of a girl being called Sam, so that's why I would never use it. People can say all they want that the nickname is not inevitable, and I'm sure it's not, but even the barest possibility is too much for me.
Yes, I remember Samantha Smith. I remember when she died. Very sad. I didn't like the way that her parents allowed the Soviet Union to use her. They were getting some fame from it, so that made it okay, am I right? It also led indirectly to her death, because if she'd never gained fame from her Soviet Union visit, then she never would have been offered a part in the TV series "Lime Street", and then she wouldn't be coming back from England where she'd gone to film it, and wouldn't have been on that plane. She was just an innocent kid writing an innocent letter, but responsible adults should have quashed that thing.
