Cultish Militants on the Long Hair Board!!!

Oh, I thought we were in a battle against the rest of the world. You mean we're not? I guess my cultish militant self will go put away the ammunition.

I would think of something else clever to say, but my inertia and lack of imagination are interfering.

I guess I'll just throw my hair into a ponytail and go take a nap.

A reminder to fortify our position.

You do not say NO to a person with long hair, a successful acting career and a gun, especially when it'S raised and pointing at you.


This picture fit the "Short VS Long stereotype they want to put us in. I kinda like this stereotype though.

YOU SILLY PEOPLE, PLEASE!!!

I am a short haired woman who really likes many styles of long hair on men and women.
Most of us over on the Short Hair board are VERY cool with long haired folks.

No Middle East conflicts, plesae, between the short hairs and long hairs.

A great man, a great musician and singer who was one of my mother's idols once said in a song, "All we are saying, is give peace a chance"!!!

Even though I wear my hair short Uzma, I enjoy "getting it on" too much with long haired men and women to have any prejudice towards long haired people.

A sexy person is a sexy person, regardless of their hair length.

.....and I am a lovergirl not a fighter!!!

I prefer the label *infidel* myself; I already know I'm paranoid ( and especially distrustful of stylists), vain, lazy and hopelessly out of touch!
I can't say if my girly-girl self-image is impacted by the length of my hair one way or the other, so I'll have to think about that one. I wish cheap had been included to round out the list.

The poor misguided soul who wrote that has not had long hair, or else had some terrible experience with it, methinks.

You made my day, Uzma! That's too funny!

Just thought I'd stick this in here:

Hmmmm…the Grow-Long Guerillas need a Manifesto!!!
Every militant group has one, I believe.

How about….

**************************************************
We aim to do absolutely nothing[laziness]to prevent the manifestation of extremely[militancy]long hair.

We will “battle the rest of the world”[tick]against the evil of long-hair thievery and and anti-ponytailism[we need an -ism in there].

Hiding[tick]behind our extraordinarily long waterfalls of hair, we shall defend our femininity[tick]– to the last long-haired man among us.

Our poor imaginations[tick]will support our apathy in styling, treating or colouring our hair, and thereby keep it in a healthful state[had to get "“state"”in there].

Proudly, we preserve the old-fashioned[tick]and out-dated belief that “more is more” when it comes to long hair!!

Was that unimaginative enough, folks?

Thanks for posting the link, Amanda.

So...gentlemen prefer long-haired brunettes...
alright..Florida, here I come!!!!!

Kinda sucks on the long-haired guy front though.
Huh, if they had used a pic of Dave PlaidPants the results would have been positive!!

Cheers

and in my case, zero. when people put their foot in their mouth, I shove it down their throat.

Hmmm. I don't read this board much and have never posted here. When I noticed the subject, I was suspicious. I suppose I should be offended that Uzma has chosen to take something I've written and reposted it out of context. And without even attributing the quote to me! Is that plagarism?

But I seem to be a popular subject. 18 posts in five hours!!! How many people can write something and have that many people respond? Maybe I can give GW a run for his money.

I'll attempt to suppress my outrage. Firstly, I enjoy those who had good fun with my comments. If you can't laugh at yourself, there's something amiss. If you can't laugh at me, there's something really wrong with you.

The post was made in response to a post by Jennifer savaging short hair and those that wear it. Not only was the post negative and combative, but it had no place on a short hair board.

From reading some of your comments, you do sound like an awful lot like a militant cult convinced the world wants you to cut your hair and that you're holding out by banding together in your small corner of the world. Nothing wrong with feeling that way, but you should know how you come off.

I have numerous friends who have long hair. I've probably discussed hair with many of them. No one has ever told me about outside pressure to cut their hair. A few who've talked about cutting their hair short, or actually done it, [Shudder. Should I have mentioned that here?] have never talked about being pressured.

My friend Allison has been on the fence for awhile. I mentioned that if she cuts it, she should donate her ponytail to Wigs For Kids. She never heard of doing that. Maybe not all long haired people are bombarded. And no, she doesn't have to give the ponytail she no longer wants to charity, but it never hurts to hear how you can do something charitible.

My post was in response to Jennifer's remarks that it was easy to chop off hair, but that long hair "requires far more patience and dedication" than short hair. You guys on this board are devoted to your hair. You probably give it patience and dedication. Surely, you can't believe that all people with long hair do the same? That there aren't people out there who have long hair out of laziness, inertia, a lack of imagination, or because they feel they'll be more attractive to the opposite sex?

I've met many people who have long hair for those reasons. Personally, I love long hair on people like my friend Michelle. She cares for her hair. It's gorgeous. She does things with it. It would be a shame for her cut it. Not everyone is like her. And I'm entitled to my opinion about whether I think they should keep it long. I don't have to express it to them and they don't have to listen to me if I do, but I'm entitled to it.

Whether I've had long hair or not, that doesn't mean I can't have that opinion. And yeah, I should have included poor. There are a lot of people in their early 20's that don't get their hair cut for lack of money.

And come on? Everyone isn't jealous of your long hair. But I do envy your sports car, house, spouse, and job.

I now know I'm long hair board enemy #1 and my words have brought you all together just as any great conspiracy leader's words will unite the band of rebels. Keep fighting the good fight. Stop those evil scissor holders!!! And I welcome all beautiful long haired women to seduce me into seeing the error of my ways.
