Yeah Now means everyone wants to make it a crime anytime someone doesnt bowdown to their beliefs and make it a hate crime because they are different than someone elses beliefs.
The squeaky wheel gets the grease…translation, he/she/it even though a minority whines until their way is accepted.

Well i quess all our ancestors were Terrorists then cause it wasnt until the 30/40's that men started to have clean shaved faces and well groomed hair to be fashionable it mainly started during WW1 due to soldiers needing to wear gas mask all earlier times it was considered a privilege when a man could afford a clean shave.
Yup. And a fun fact - the "funny little mustache" on a now-infamous leader was very common for WW1 soldiers and later, vets. They kept it cut that way to accommodate gas masks. After the war a lot of vets kept it, kind of a symbol of service.

I believe the safety razor had a lot to do with the "fashion" of clean shaven faces, as well as women's legs and underarms. (which wasn't a trend until the 1920s)

I've had a beard for about 95% of the time for the past 6-8 years. Mostly keep it fairly trimmed and short'ish. Wife likes it trimmed but will occasionally grow the chin area several inches and sides/burns to half inch. Couple times a year I'll randomly shave it off without telling Mrs 788 and keep my face clean shaven for a couple weeks then let grow back out. At one point about 5 years ago I got home from work and clean shaved my face. Came out to the kitchen. She turned and looked at me and literally said, "ohhh, noo" and did an uncomfortable laugh. Don't remember that if it was her or my coworkers at the time said I looked like Spanky from the Little Rascals with my face clean shaven. Needless to say, I keep my beard most of the time. What started off as a mostly brownish/reddish beard is nearly all white now (53 years old).
