this article intrigued me enough to post a topic of this kind
 seems that long hair has been propagandized to make one dull of mind. lolz! myth or real? what's your take on this? i have long hair, and i don't feel it dumbs me to have one. QUOTE N Korea wages war on long hair ...It stressed the "negative effects" of long hair on "human intelligence development", noting that long hair "consumes a great deal of nutrition" and could thus rob the brain of energy. Men should get a haircut every 15 days, it recommended. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4157121.stm related pictures: CODE http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/pop_ups/05/asia_pac_n_korea0s_haircut_campaign/html/1.stm

That article angers me. By saying long hair makes you stupid, it's saying that females are stupid. *insert somewhat feminist rant about equality* By the scale of 'the more hair you have, the less potential you have', those that have lost their hair to cancer are potentially the brightest among us and those who have never cut their hair (some religions) are the dumbest.
Asia has too many bogeyman-type myths. I understand that it's just part of its culture, but it's so... restricting to the people who live there. |

A haircut every 15 days?! Yikes...I haven't gotten one in nearly 6 months, and I don't feel THAT much stupider (yet)...Anyway, my style has gone pretty much out of control. I sport the just-got-out-of-bed look a lot of the time...Occasionally, I'll brush it down for the surfer-do...There's so much chlorine in my hair (I do a lot of swimming) that I can pretty much manipulate it whichever way I want. It can be advantageous, but at the same time, it's a pain in the neck to wash and comb. Sometimes, I can't even be bothered with either

o___O
Koreans....>_> Lol, well I can also say that I'm offended by the long hair thing. I have long hair that falls to like, my elbow, and I think I'm a bright student...in some ways. Well, I know I work hard and get good grades atleast. I don't think hair really has anything to do with your intelligence, it might get in the way sometimes...but.....=/ |

Well,I had short hair for most of my childood,and at the end of high school,and before going to university,I decided to let it grow.I didn’t have it cut for almost 2 years,so it was a bit longer than my shoulders.It was strange,but somehow nice.After that I am again cutting my hair every 2 weeks,and it is very short noe.It’s also easier this way.
