What’s your opinion on women who wear that shaggy Justin Bieber style? Especially over age 25? Is it the lesser of evils of masculine hairstyles, because it is a bit longer? Or should they lose it, if they want to be taken seriously…because it’s what teen singers and california surfer stoner dudes wear? ---

I thought the joke was that Justin Bieber had a soccer-mom hairdo. ETA: as in, they’re not copying his style - he’s copying theirs. ---

It’s perfectly acceptable for people to wear their hair however they like. ---

What do you mean by acceptable? Almost any hair is “acceptable.” If you mean professional, no, it’s not professional, hairdos that put your hair in your eyes are defacto nonprofessional. A shag that doesn’t cross the brow line, so you don’t look like a tribble landed on your head and is trying to eat your face, is fine. ---

I had Bieber hair for a couple of weeks while my short haircut was growing out. Nobody told me it was unacceptable. ---

Other people are not obsessed with judging and categorizing everyone they lay eyes on, just so they can feel better about themselves. You most likely do so, because you feel yourself harshly judged, on insignificant things, by a cold world, too immature to realize, you feel this way, entirely because you are actively being, shallow and judgmental, at all waking moments. ---

These comments are not acceptable. It has been repeated frequently that if you wish to insult people in this manner, **elbows** the BBQ Pit is the place to do it. Your next reminder regarding this will be an official warning. **smeghead** , you’re threadshitting, which is also not permitted here. Again, I direct your attention to the BBQ Pit if you feel the need to jump on a topic like this. Don’t do it here. **Diamonds02** , you’ve been starting quite a few threads lately. I recommend you ease up, please. ---

Apologies all around. Thought we were in the pit, my bad. ---
