Pahoran Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 Bedouin trackers in the IDF do just fine without long hair.You mean it might be more to do with learned skills and a familiar environment? Say it ain't so!Regards,Pahoran, off to the barber's.
CV75 Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 That they're unusually sensitive souls who'd never dream of raising the hand of violence to anyone?No, those are men with long hair and beads...
Rock_N_Roll Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 That they're unusually sensitive souls who'd never dream of raising the hand of violence to anyone?(Sorry, couldn't resist.)Regards,PahoranThank you!
Rock_N_Roll Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I had long hair (and sometimes beards) through most of the '80s and '90s. I've now had short hair for 11 years. No difference between the two as far as being sensitive to the environment that I've noticed. I've never tried tracking an enemy though.Now, the difference in how I'm treated by others, especially other LDS, that's a different story.
KevinG Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 I don't mind someone serving me the sacrament with long hair nearly as much as I mind the sandwich artist at the local Subway who has multiple face piercings. Dude! It is not cool to expose any more of your mucus membranes to my food than is absolutely necessary for you to breathe and speak!
Bill “Papa” Lee Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 A Rabbi friend of mine knows that I am involved with Native American Ministry. He sent me this for consideration. Do you think their is any truth to this and if so is it time for men to grow out those beards? http://www.sott.net/...Their-Hair-LongI have one.
katherine the great Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Absurd (but kind of funny.) The only part of the hair that is alive is in the follicle. All the pretty, shiny stuff we can see is actually dead.
Duncan Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) personally I am adverse to facial hair, I lose my mind if I can't find my razor!!! Edited December 15, 2011 by Duncan

All the pretty, shiny stuff we can see is actually dead.I agree that I too had reservations about the truth behind the article in question. Even thought it may seemed silly, it did present some interesting concepts to consider:1) How much of our outward appearance is determined by our insecurity in being accepted by others?2) If we were more focused on God instead of man, would we be more inclined to let our hair grow in a more natural way? 3) Is there a "forgotten" connected between mankind and the earth around us? Or a forgotten reality we were created to exist within (like the Avatar analogy)?
katherine the great Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 A lot of the article is silly pseudoscience.Also, the clean-shaven short-haired Romans kicked the everliving snot out of the long-haired and bearded Gauls. What went wrong?Yeah, but then the Romans had the "everliving snot" kicked out of them by the Goths. What goes around comes around!

Even thought it may seemed silly, it did present some interesting concepts to consider:1) How much of our outward appearance is determined by our insecurity in being accepted by others?Probably most of it.2) If we were more focused on God instead of man, would we be more inclined to let our hair grow in a more natural way?Nah. We are all part of a community and will generally conform to whatever earthly "authority" we recognize.3) Is there a "forgotten" connected between mankind and the earth around us?

LeSellers Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Yeah, but then the Romans had the "everliving snot" kicked out of them by the Goths. What goes around comes around! At that point, however, the Romans had become dissipated and had lost their "native" self-reliance.; they had become dependent on the state for nearly everything, had no more personal morality and did not expect their leaders top exhibit it in their personal lives, either.Romulus killed his brother,. Remus, for failing to live the law (Remus had "entered" the city through a plowed line that represented the wall). That sort of discipline evaporated as Rome became rich, and soft.There's a lesson for all countries in the story of the sacking of Rome by the Vandals and other Goths.Lehi
DarkScythe Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 THis does explain why long-haired women are so much awesomer than you short haired men. Long hair on women is often quite beautiful then again women are beautiful in their own special way. Yes don't forget Awesome.

Just don't ground yourself when touching one while transmitting, though. So perhaps the dead stuff above the follicles are acting as receivers. Edited December 19, 2011 by Stargazer 1

What went wrong? Minor point of fact, the Romans did not "kick the everliving snot out of the...Gauls." They were defeated through treachery and by a lack of unity. Many of the tribes sided with the Romans in hopes of greater material wealth and aid against the Visigoths and Ostrogoths. Even with only about half the tribes, though, Vercingetorix very nearly sent Julius Caesar packing. Some generations before that, the Celts/Gauls sacked Rome after Romans murdered one of their emmisaries. Yours under the Celtic oaks,Nathair /|\

Humans just don't possess them.
