I bet you believe in global warming too?

Go ahead and wear your hair down to your butt, I don’t care and I don’t care what your liberal articles and statistics say either.

Did you make a mistake and hit the FR button and not the DU one?

“I bet you believe in global warming too?”

I see you have chosen to dig yourself even deeper into your hole of ignorance, abject stupidity, wanton disregard for manners or truth. In fact, I have been in strong opposition to the Global Warming/Climate Change fraud for more than fifty years and long before I served as an Air Force meteorologist authoring many of the weather records which are being manipulated today.

“Go ahead and wear your hair down to your butt,....”

Since I do not do so, you are once again engaging in some rather grossly dishonest efforts to defame and cover up your own words and sentiments, which we may note express the same preferences for hair and masculinity as the majority of male homosexuals over the past millennia of cultural history.

“I don’t care and I don’t care what your liberal articles and statistics say either.”

Yeah, we noticed your contempt for reality, good manners and honesty.

I imagine they could use cgi serpents. I can’t imagine they would use the real things. The real ones might be hard to train?

I,think the show has been pretty much historically accurate. As long as they don’t use Nessie the sea serpent. :)

What is a subtle quiff?

I think it's a type of fart... A small, lighter form of queef. Like when you try to sneak one out in church... But it turns into a squeaker... then you get the giggle-farts... then you sh.... Well, I digress....

[biff:] Ponytails are dangerous for men that actually have to work for a living.

In the vast majority of occupations that is a myth which even 50-60 years ago in the days of the flattop was thoroughly refuted. American men managed to build this nation in the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries despite wearing their hair long, whether in the trades, the military, or the halls of the legislatures. Short male hair for the purposes of emergency medical care in the military became more relevant as the modern weaponry inflicted more shrapnel wounds that could become infected with fragments of hair in the wounds.

Huh... Try getting your ponytail caught in a body grinder... or your beard caught in a fly-cutter... You'll learn a thing or two...

What part of the phrase, “vast majority”, did you fail to understand?

I take it you're a city-dweller... Where I am, the 'vast majority of male jobs are dangerous with long hair... Or at least long hair is a caution... And btw, get in a bar fight some time... Probably the single main reason for men to keep their hair short is to avoid providing handles for their enemies to use...

Don't get me wrong - I wear a tail and a beard all winter long - Shave it all off once a year when summer gets hot... I am most likely the most 'natural' guy you ever met when it comes to hair... But your assertions (by my long experience) are silly.

Would have had to be Adders, unless imported.

They’re the only indigenous hots in England.

Why are you arguing the finer points of masculinity with a guy named “Biff”?

Ultimately, THEY choose who they marry or stay married to. You better believe that what they want carries and outsized role.

I think women have always found a scruffy looking men attractive under certain circumstances (Saturday morning and you’re fixing her car, for example), but these guys who use a $50 trimmer to keep their faces in a perpetual state of stubbly-ness (I even see guys in suits and ties with briefcases walking around with the perpetual 5 o’clock shadow) are slavishly misapplying the principle.

“I take it you’re a city-dweller...”

It never ceases to amaze how there are so many people willing to engage in the most foolish acts of blind prejudice and jump to wildly false conclusions. I was raised on and around rural farms, small towns, and small cities. I’ve raised livestock, including horses, rode my horses in the rodeo, worked on farms, cultivated, combined, baled and put up hay, and welded equipment. I’ve been in the coal mines and worked in the oil fields and refineries, where OSHA standards are stringent. My Air Force training and experience included considerable safety training and military grooming standards for many years. My urban dwelling in the cities often required similar levels of safety training, especially when participating in missile launches. So, your take is absurdly presumptuous and wrong.

“Where I am, the ‘vast majority of male jobs are dangerous with long hair... Or at least long hair is a caution... And btw, get in a bar fight some time... Probably the single main reason for men to keep their hair short is to avoid providing handles for their enemies to use...”

Sounds like you are foolish for getting into bar fights in the first place.

“Don’t get me wrong - I wear a tail and a beard all winter long - Shave it all off once a year when summer gets hot... I am most likely the most ‘natural’ guy you ever met when it comes to hair... But your assertions (by my long experience) are silly.”

What you describe as your “long experience” is long on wildly wrong assumptions and short on facts. The “Labor Force Statistics from the Current Population Survey” says there are 8,438,000 people employed in production occupations as of 2014. Only a fraction of those people employed in Production occupations are going to require safety precautions regarding long hair. The total number of people employed in all occupations in 2014 is reported to be 146,305,000. Production occupations represent only 5.8 percent of the labor force. No matter how you try to divide up the jobs into female and male jobs, there is no way possible to even remotely claim the majority of male jobs require short hair for occupational safety reasons. Even if we add the 13,537,000 jobs in the Natural resources, construction, and maintenance occupations and the 8,709,000 jobs in the Transportation and material moving occupations, you are still going to fall far short of the male jobs being dangerous with long hair representing the majority of occupations. Face it, the vast majority of male jobs simply do not require short male hair for occupational safety reasons. Any efforts to deny these basic occupational facts are in your own word, “silly.”
