If Jesus didn't exist...

   "Beardy wierdy, sandal wearing, soap avoiding hippies" are military propaganda. It's a "strawman" (!) argument for the military so that they can say that they might be overly dependent on the government and the military, but at least they aren't as bad as those awful hippies. So why don't you support the military too? -- and that sort of thing.

   Notice there are no "hippies" anymore. An extremely rare few men who actually have any talent wear long hair, but otherwise are not "hippies" at all.

   Meanwhile "Christians" (actually "Christian Atheists") in the Democratic Party and the military atheists in the Republican Party all have short hair on men because they are mentally retarded. (Sorry, I had to let that out.)

   I don't think there is anything "unlikable" about very short hair.  My attitude is suit yourself.  As long as you aren't trying to conceal your identity long hair and beards are fine.  As long as you aren't trying to draft people against their will into the military, short hair is fine.  People with long hair can help defend the innocent too, even if the hair is a disadvantage for that.

   It is, by the way, old military propaganda that men with long hair and beards are irresponsible.  With the new dynamic tension between Islam and western culture, Islam is on the right.  That puts short hair on the political left (where I suppose it "belongs").  So it's propaganda that doesn't fit the current political realities.  I do not however "dislike" any fashion.

   I do dislike people who think there is only one right way when there are more than one right ways.  When there is really only one right way that's different of course.  Some people do get the important and the unimportant mixed up, that's the pity.
