Quote:Why was the establishment in the west so against 'long haired' youths during the rock and roll era (50's & 60's).Because they were taking drugs, talking about freedoms and breaking with the taboos of their ancestors... Their hair really had nothing to do with it. It was just a sign or marker. If those people wore their hair in a regular manner the same would have happened. In fact, the beatniks and nozems did carry their hair fairly normal and they still got beaten by 'establishment'.
Quote:There could be a correlation between military code (short back & sides) and this theory.But did their change from hippie to skinhead change them from peace lovers to war lovers? Because that was the statement I objected against!
Government/Military trained indigenous trackers were found to almost complety lose their instictive abilities in the 'field' when their hair was cut.
This information is well known by many.
Quote:Far from being a generalization I have attempted to engage in informed discussion.
Please study the source material before dismissing a post as being 'nonsense'.
Quote:Hippies = peace & love
Skinheads= war & hate
This is nonsensical. I tend to like almost everything you say Ashim. But this is nonsensical and it's prejudiced. And I don't need any source material to tell you that. Because I know for a fact it is not true. I'm actually very surprised that you make this statement.
Hippies are humans, skinheads are humans. What else but diversity can you expect?
I grew up in a town where 70% of the youth was either a hippie/punk or a skinhead. They fought a lot. Rural town, not much else to do. And yeah perhaps they were a bit more aggressive than us hippies. But that had to do more with the music and drugs consumed by the different groups than it had to do with the hair.
Also and more important, I had friends who were hippies, and friends who were skins. So I honestly don't need source material to tell you that your description is nonsensical. I went to school with the source material.
Do you understand I am objecting ONLY to those two lines that you put down? Not against any hidden or overt meaning that you have not stated in those two lines? Certainly not against the idea that long hair might be a psychic antennae, it could be, my ego would like it to be, and I most certainly do not object against you personally.
But this is like saying "All americans are capitalists". Or "all arabs wear explosives". Or "all germans like sauerkraut." Reality just never works that way.
