LOL.
Besides, if a man with a militaristic close shaved head would you say he was sporting a General Yamamoto hairdo? What if the man was a mature Asian man too... Would you say he was impersonating the WWII warlord notorious in the Pacific?
You could just impale offensive guys like these with a improvised spear using a long wooden stick, you know, uncannily like the holy lance of Longinus?

Posted by Bed Time!]]> Mon, 19 Apr 2010 15:00:22 -0700 Portland Mercury Or a Alexander Vasilyevich Alexandrov 'stache?
Or a Charlie Chaplin 'stache?
Or a Otto Frank 'stache?
Or a Oliver Hardy 'stache?

No, you must be right righteous writer.
No one knows who these other people even are.


Posted by Bed Time!]]> Mon, 19 Apr 2010 14:42:03 -0700 Portland Mercury Are we really so poorly evolved that we turn to physical force when we disapprove of a person's facial hair? Despite the toothbrush mustache's historically negative connotation, how does wearing a mustache EVER warrant physical violence?
Let us compare Hitler's behaviors with those of Mustache Man and Anonymous to assess this situation:
Hitler used religion, racism, and intolerance to spread hate, violence, and death. The "Mustachioed Offender" walked down a street sporting a mustache that has been worn by numerous others before and after Hitler, and according to Anonymous the mustache-wearer was smiling and not exhibiting any aggressive behavior! Anonymous, on the other hand, has incited potential violence towards someone based MERELY on appearance, with no knowledge of the Mustache-Sporter's character or intent. At surface level, who more closely identifies with the beliefs and behaviors of Hitler? Who poses a greater threat to society?
Although I profoundly believe it is unwise and unfair to judge people based on their appearance, it is inevitable and we all do it. It is acceptable to voice cautious concern when you see people sporting suspicious symbols that might be promoting the spread of hatred/intolerance. Our Constitution affords us such freedoms of speech. HOWEVER, attempting to rectify such a scenario by promoting vigilante violence is inherently hypocritical, not to mention malicious and wrong! Therefore, Anonymous, by physically threatening Toothbrush Mustache Man because he chose to wear something you find unacceptable, you are promoting that very philosophy of intolerance that you were so offended by in the first place. Furthermore, any unwarranted physical action taken by you or anyone else towards the now infamous Mustache-Wearer will surely result in an assault misdemeanor at best, and you are fully traceable because you have decided to publically post your intent to harm!
Additionally, U.S. Military regulations require military members who opt for facial hair to keep their mustaches short, trimmed, and contained similarly to the toothbrush mustache. Ask any member of the U.S. Military about this rule and they will both confirm this regulation, as well as recant their own or their comrades experiences of being mistaken as Hitler-sympathizers due to ignorance over this mustache-style.
Let's embrace logic and reason, and recognize that the best way to approach all nonviolent situations is through peaceable, intelligent debate, not through intolerance and physical force.

I say bring on the Hitler 'stache, and other supposed racial stereotypes. Let's all take part and show people that they really don't mean anything. That's one thing it's going to take for us to overcome race issues - to realize we're more similar and that those things don't matter.
