No it's because students are the worst neighbours you can have, selfish, ignorant, noisy, dirty little scrotes every man jack and woman jill of them.

Fair enough, though i doubt they all are and I don't know how you can ID a student just by their hairdos or clothes. Judging people on their clothes choices is unwise.

 

[Orang Utan]

It's okay if it's a natural colour. If it's something dayglo or lurid it's usually in lieu of personality.

No it isn't, you twat

I just hate emo-hair. Those floppy emo-fringes just activate some primal hatred in my psyche. I loved The Human League when I was young, but Oakey's hair always annoyed the fuck out of me. I was well-pleased when he chopped it off.

It's not really emo hair. All sorts of people due their hair these days. They don't belong to a particular subculture of the 00s that's moved on somewhat. You and LLETSA are badly out of touch.
Anyway, the brainfarts that are Penny's columns are enough to criticise her for. There's no need for shallowly criticising her appearance. You can't judge someone's character from their hairdo.

It is. The same goes for those who cover more or less their entire bodies with tattoos and/or piercings.

When people deliberately disfigure themselves in a fashion they'd pay to have plastic surgery to rectify if the result of, say, an accident, it's a sure sign of a society slowly going insane. Infantilism seems to have taken the fortress.

Believe me, I fucking well try to be. When I seem to have fallen in step, please shoot me.

You really, really can.

 

[Orang Utan]

Just as I can tell from your posts that you are a bitter old man who hates young people for having the temerity to dye their hair.

To me this reads: Sppppklllllxxxxxzzzzfffhhhhhh
Are you having a stroke?

Better that than a bitter old man who tries to be one of them.

Yes, but you're a robot.

Fuck me, you're almost as bad as Cock & Shite

Mmm, you realise I haven't mentioned the colour of her hair, right? And guess what? Loads of people have dyed their hair for the last several decades, let alone "these days", so why you're making a big deal about it eludes me.

They don't belong to a particular subculture of the 00s that's moved on somewhat.

I didn't say that "they" did. I used a label for Penny's hairstyle.

You and LLETSA are badly out of touch.

Thanks for that, king of cool 2000-and-never-going-to-happen.

I haven't done so.

Careful, or ickle Locky will be reporting you for misusing his username.

I thought that was my point.

You can't judge someone's character from their hairdo.

I'm middle-aged and find it difficult to interpret or understand the appeal of (quite a lot of) fashions, but if strange hairstyles don't say anything at all about the person concerned, why are they adopted? Surely, having strangely-cut lurid green hair, say, is some sort of exercise in self-expression.

 

[Orang Utan]

Certainly, but having brightly coloured dyed hair doesn't mean you're a twat or devoid of personality. It doesn't necessarily reflect negatively on someone's personality.

It does.

 

[Orang Utan]

It does.

Oh dear. You're an awful person. You really are.

 

[_angel_]

You really, really can.

It isn't possible to take seriously somebody with maroon hair. I don't care what anybody says.

Mrs. Idris informs me that that type of shade is known as "French prostitute red", to those in the know.

As Urban's very own once put it...

In my dull old middle age I have decided that look-at-me-look-at-me haircuts are a pretty sure sign of an ego problem.

 

[Orang Utan]

Brightly coloured hair can look awesome. What's wrong with looking awesome?

 

[JHE]

Perhaps you are easily awed. These pics don't inspire any awe in me.

 

[Orang Utan]

They're great, mostly!

Americanism

 

[Orang Utan]

Americanism

So what?

 

[LLETSA]

Americanism

An Americanism usually used inappropriately, as in this case.

Another sign of a society losing its marbles.
