I had enough of beards. PLease.. stop the madness.

[kpomtb]

Had a 33 year old girlfriend when I was 19. Grew a beard to stop getting carded at the bars.






29 years later, still have the beard and the girl (now wife).

You gave it a more charitable name than I call it. Hint: named after the kids' club supporting that country's most infamous leader.

But back to beards: yes. They grow on you.

[colker]

Hipster punks, with their beards, and poodle skirts, and free love, and that blasted Rockroll music (if you can call it that).

They should cut their hair and get jobs (we're automating and outsourcing and offering at unlivable wages, and with reduced hours so as to not be legally be required to provide healthcare).

Dear olds,

Please die off soon.

xoxo,

Your kids.

KIds nowadays don't want to kill me or any old people. I believe this is an old 70s or something youth issue. Things have changed.

PS: Beards were the new thing till this winter. It's on a mass scale now. It's already over.

"new thing"? I've seen beards on the under 30 demographic for the last 13 years.

If you like or don't like beards ... there's an alt group for that (no, not THAT alt group).

I have seen beards since the 70s.. or the 19th century.. wait, let's call the middle ages? No.. why not neanderthals?
There is a new fashion trend derived from Steam Punk. SP is behind many things incl. movies w/ victorian settings like the latest one from JK Rawlings.
Beards w/ short haircuts come directly from that aesthethic which was edgy and alternative. Now it's adopted by fashion incl. Shopping Malls, the masses etc.. It's saturated. I am talking about fashion and you didn't get it. So.. there are dozens of other threads you can get! You can post on those threads and not waste your time telling me or anyone where to go or what to do. Have fun!

I've got a short beard right now. Most of the time I have no more than stubble because FDA regs mean I have to wear a beardnet at work. I've been off for a week and let it go and being a testosterone fueled male apparently low on the evolutionary scale, I beard up pretty quick. For the most part, it's a hassle 8 months out of the year here in NE Texas, but in the cooler months, it's kind of nice. My hair is short too, definitely German tank driver-like but that's a carry over from my military days.

Beards will never be "over" because they will live forever as the cool thing our faces do when we allow them to reach their telos.

This guy had one:

the fashion beard may be peaking but that doesn't change the fact that they were sweet back then and they're sweet now.

In fact, I say we post up: Here's mine. Yeah, it'll be gone come spring, but for now I'm pretty happy about it.

Also re: stuff being 'over' can't hep but think of this:

Fashion may have them go; style wont be told what to do.

Fashion may have them go; style wont be told what to do.

That´s an interesting debate. Is style sublime, above fashion? Is fashion foolish? Isn´ it foolishness to be above foolishness?

dude definitely looks like he's having more fun rocking a sweet beard and sliding out on his slick dirt sled. just sayin.

I guess if this judge could be lenient on the matter, I could too. Be free, live your truth.

I, for one, though, plan to beard up every winter, irrespective of whether they are "over" or "in".

This beard issue revealed to be too controversial. My next thread will tame something lighter.. maybe pubic hair.

Much ado about nothing, in Rio, I presume...
