Nope, but you said "long hair."

It goes in cycles, like all fashions. Me, I prefer to keep my hair
military-short simply because it's easier for me and I have no
pretentions about my looks. In the past, I've worn my hair to shoulder
length with a full beard, a dyed-red mohawk, a Ranger high and tight,
and shaved it bald.

All my choices. You have no say in it.

Didn't say it was. Of course, it makes you hopelessly lost in the 21st
century.

Do you also think that "coloreds" should stay in their place?

Perhaps you could point me to the section of Emily Post that covers
dreadlocks. I have no problem with him wearing his hair like that. Not
overly attractive, in my opinion, but then I only have to look at him
now when the Giants play the Dodgers.

And if we decided that people like you shouldn't have any rights?

Then you need to start working to get the First Amendment repealed.

Because you seem to object to anyone who admits that it isn't 1955
anymore.

So, you're a bigot.

LOL!!! Dude, I'm a recovering meth addict. Been clean for almost 20
years now. Want to know how long I kept my hair during my addict
years? Buzzed down to about quarter inch. I was clean shaven, well
dressed, and did enough meth that I would go two weeks without
sleeping.

But you'd let me into your home because I had short hair. You, sir,
are an idiot.

OK, which party pushed the Defense of Marriage Act? Which poarty keeps
trying to interfere in the relationship between women and their health
providers? Whic party keeps trying to marginalize smaller faiths?

Hint: They use an elephant as their symbol.

You don't understand the term.

I'm a Goldwater Republican. Which, these days, makes me a conservative
Democrat.

You're a looney.
