I think it’s more about the odds...

I'm sure that's true. It's sad that this has to be, however.

Agreed. In the old days also, hair was put up or cut for married women exactly because it might less attract men. Also just a symbol of sorts: “I’m taken”.

I sympathize with women getting short hair to have less to do. Men complain about women alot, but they are often the 1s who drive the whole “inconsistency” thing and what women do or don’t do. Men complain about short hair - it’s because women have too much to do. Men complain women take forever to get ready on a date, etc. - it’s because the dating woman has long hair the man desires which is hard to deal with, AND no matter what situation, women have to put on make-up. If not using the latter, men will complain the woman doesn’t look her best and doesn’t try (or even call her “ugly”).

It’s men’s desires that drive all this nonsense in truth. Meanwhile, we don’t expect that of them and they don’t have to deal with any of it. Lots of them hardly try to look their best as far as clothes, even.

All right, understood. I probably got it mixed up with Columbine. Sorry.

Maybe if their had been Church Security back in the olden days, the Christians would not of been fed to the lions. One should not feel the need for security at a school, a mall, on the street, in your home, or in a church..but the reality of it is we do need security. Most homes today come with security systems, but you always need a back up plan.

We’re just talking about marital-status terminology.

Stop and think. There was a shooting in the church. Isn’t that sufficient evidence that it’s appropriate to protect those in the church from such shooters? I don’t understand why you’re taking the stance you are. Would you prefer Christians die? Are you against the Second Ammendment?

Bald men tend to have more testosterone. It’s a male trait, so the more baldness, the more male you are. ;-)

(Actually, it’s not “short” - it just disappears whether long or short!)

I think your question is better posed to “bsco” (whatever), who actually questioned this.

I am sorry, I just couldn’t resist the jab.. the truth of the matter is , that Jeanne Assam’s hair is stylish, and it really doesn’t matter, she is still lauded today on her shooting abilities.

We live in a fallen world. We're visited with violence constantly, and it is up to us, each, to defend against it. Failure to do so, I recon, makes us complicit with those who act to bring harm. I take it as a sin to not prepare oneself for such an event and see it as a scoff towards the gift of life God's granted.

I suppose you fail to see that such preventative measures were necessary on Sunday?
