where we live the religious freaks have a big problem with guys having long hair yet their women arent supposed to cut theirs and keep it under a noodle strainer.
my old man has long hair too and an earring. They act like hes a dangerous criminal. Every picture Ive ever seen of their Jesus, hes always had long hair. WTF is their problem?

Perhaps it has something to do with 1 Corinthians 11:14-15:

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

But like many parts of the Bible, to follow it you need to ignore some other parts, like Numbers 6:5:
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/num/6.html#5

All the days of the vow of his [a Nazarite's] separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, and shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.

...and 1 Samuel 1:11:
http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/1sam/1.html#11

And she vowed a vow, and said, O LORD of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto the LORD all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head.

sadly, I'm only 20 years old and already finding myself remembering and saying "back in my day...". like I can't believe how mouthy kids are these days. when I was a kid, it wasn't till junior high that kids got so mouthy, and it wasn't even as bad. now, I hear 3rd graders saying "fuck you douche bag!". when I was walking down the street by the elementary school one day I saw this girl that was like 9 years old, calling out to some boy "hey billy, I'll give you a blowjob for your slurpee!".
that and the commercials aimed at kids disgust me. this latest back to school one show all these kids with cell phones, ipods, and laptops while there's kid rap playing, and they're all dressing like they're 16 (they looked about 1st graders). kids being kids is actually becoming wrong these days, seems non of them climb trees or play outside anymore, they're all just 8 year olds trying to prove how mouthy they can be to prove they're "cool".

ladyM, you really need to shell out $20 and become a Cafe Member. Lots of like minded people in the Cafe Lounge.

I'll have to shell out the $20. Ive seen the commercials and they're appaling!
As for the hair, they had to cut Samsons hair to destroy him, and the bible IS full of contradictions, your right there. I see parents legally unable to dicipline their little heathens and society is really paying for it. If children cannot be diciplined while young, the court systems end up doing it later, they end up in juvvie or jail and learn to be nothing! I'm really glad to see your generation saying something, Its gonna be up to you to make the differsnce, I know its corny, but entirely too true. If I would have talked to my parents the way I hear kids talk today, I would have ended up talking out the back side of my head.
My daughter cant even stand that I party, I guess I did something right??? But she has manners! and can speak to all people with respect and thats pretty rare today. Ive heard toddlers 'fucking this, and fucking that too, pretty damn disgusting. thanks for letting me go off like this, I needed it!

an ounce for $35?! goddamn my generation!!
nah, i'm playing, but seriously i'm sure parties where a lot more worthwhile 'back in the day'. i'd of probably been doing the same thing i do at with every party and just not go.

edit: i'm definite you had much better drugs too.

Maybe one of the reasons weed used to be so cheap is because of inflation. I read somewhere that because of hydro, and warehouse growing weed is actually cheaper than it used to be.
