Society/Culture beards

[JoondalupJ]

Heres one for all you mass debaters. Why do bloody university professors
wear BEARDS?????????????

I like to master bate so I'll have a go.

They either don't care about their appearance, or want to appear like they don't care about their appearance- it is frightfully 'worldy'.


If they are the latter group, they are like the average young w***er in the street(or most AFL draftees lately) who go to the trouble of gelling their hair to get the slept in look - rather than the easier option of just sleeping in.

Rubbing your beard makes you look smarter.

I have a regal and majestic beard and I still don't know what ontology or dialectics mean!

(I've often pictured evo with a pointy, goatee-beard, I bet he strokes it a lot too )

 

[evo]

I don't have a beard - but if I did - I'd stroke the living ferk out of it.

 

[Saint KFC]

BEARD FEAR!

 

[bit_pattern]

I don't have a beard - but if I did - I'd stroke the living ferk out of it.

That's only cos the missus won't let you stroke the ferk out of something else, right?

 

[Chief]

And what is with firies and their moustaches?

 

[HolyWars]

Because it beats shaving every 2 seconds.

I'm sure she looks very nice

 

[TheBloods]

They have beards because they can. It's a freedom that often doesn't exist in offices.

 

[Chief]

Really? They're banning beards in offices?

[JoondalupJ]

Hilarious folks.
Firies moustaches are for them to measure the width of fences or building debris in smoke so as they can move through. Like a pussy cat!

Ban no. Seriously frowned upon, yes.

Sex, Knowledge And Society
10 September 2009 10:00
Is science culturally based? Does gender play a role in scientific study? And why do famous philosophers always have beards? In this discussion from the Adelaide Festival of Ideas we find out more about some of the most important issues of our time; sex, knowledge and society.

Reckon it's a bit of an age thing. Beards on blokes 45+ generally are percieved as distinguished and are tolerated. Beards on younger chaps gives the impression of slackness or being a bit unkept and thus are not really encouraged.

They might hate shaving - I did not take a razor on holidays and I have decided to keep it. Also adds beard stroking to your intellectual repetoire in lectures!

If Richo can be post-modern then so can Rolf Harris.

"This delicate piece of work toys with the notion of 'legend' in post-modern society. By subtly invoking the name of an icon of an indigenous football game, the artist at once pays homage to - and plays with - the viewer's conflicting emotions vis a vis his/her place in the increasingly hierarchical and competitive nature of the neo-liberalist market-driven life-space. One is forced to ponder whether there is still a role for the non-conformist (also hinted at by the allusion to punk rock) in a world divided between those who are entrapped by a menacing and ever-growing big-brotheresque 'tribunal' or 'rules committee' system, and those who impose it for their own ends: an exclusive clique of fat-cat elites. The word "Richo" is emblazoned like a cry for freedom across the bottom third of the canvas, and contrasts with the three black bands at the top, which resemble strips of masking tape plastered across the mouths of hostages to keep them silent. A stunning masterpiece which once again confirms the centrality of the Richmond Football Club in the hearts and minds of free-thinking peoples everywhere. Four and a half stars."

Why? I've never heard this. Sounds like prejudice.

..."

Sounds like someone has been stroking their beard WAY too hard.

Are beards that common these days? I haven't seen that many beards to be honest, the last class by a bearded one was distinctly non-beret stuff.
