Haircuts

Posted in Fashion/Beauty/Health/Fitness on May 20th, 2021

I don't cut my hair very often and when I do, I go all the way. I'll go from looking like a "long haired hippie dope smoking liberal piece of shit" one day to a "conservative skin head red neck piece of shit" the next. I can't win for losing, therefore, I really don't give a shit.

I've spent my entire life being told when and how to cut my hair. It started with my parents with "crew cuts" and "flat tops." Then it was the US Army with more crew cuts. Then employers: "you're getting a little shaggy there aren't you?" Then wives: "I love you with short hair."

There are advantages to having long hair – which I always seem to forget until after I cut mine. When you're an old guy with short hair, you have to prune your fucking ears. It's amazing how fast ear hairs grow! With long hair you never hear "dude, you gonna braid those fucking ear hairs of yours or what?" or "man, you have more hair growing out of your ears than that guy over there has on his head" comments from buddies at the bar.

...but you'd look so much younger if you colored you hair!

Fuck looking younger! Why the hell would I want to do that? I've spent a lot of time getting to this (a little over) halfway point in my life practicing to be an old man, getting my hair to the perfect shade of gray and learning from mentors like my friend "Fred" who once told me "pretty soon you'll be plucking the dark ones instead of the gray ones." Or my old friend Frank who would leave his barber with black hair and black ears. Now is the time to put all that practice and wisdom to work. It's time to walk the walk. Work that gray hair not color it. Flaunt that shit!

It's easier for females ("a menstruating persons" for you WOKEs) and trannies (F to M transgender for you WOKEs) to color their hair because they (most) don't have facial hair. Get your facial hair wrong and you'll be accused of being "blackfacer."

If any of you guys are into the current trends as much as I am, here are the trendiest of the trendy. You'll be cool as shit!

Who were the Huguenots?

The Huguenots were a religious group of French Protestants who held to the Reformed, or Calvinist, tradition of Protestantism. The term has its origin in early-16th-century France. It was frequently used in reference to those of the Reformed Church of France from the time of the Protestant Reformation. By contrast, the Protestant populations of eastern France, in Alsace, Moselle, and Montbéliard, were mainly German Lutherans.

In his Encyclopedia of Protestantism, Hans Hillerbrand said that, on the eve of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre in 1572, the Huguenot community made up as much as 10% of the French population. By 1600 it had declined to 7–8%, and was reduced further after the return of severe persecution in 1685 under Louis XIV's Edict of Fontainebleau.

The Huguenots are believed to have been concentrated among the population in the southern and western parts of the Kingdom of France. As Huguenots gained influence and more openly displayed their faith, Catholic hostility grew. A series of religious conflicts followed, known as the French Wars of Religion, fought intermittently from 1562 to 1598. The Huguenots were led by Jeanne d'Albret; her son, the future Henry IV (who would later convert to Catholicism in order to become king); and the princes of Condé. The wars ended with the Edict of Nantes, which granted the Huguenots substantial religious, political and military autonomy.

Huguenot rebellions in the 1620s resulted in the abolition of their political and military privileges. They retained the religious provisions of the Edict of Nantes until the rule of Louis XIV, who gradually increased persecution of Protestantism until he issued the Edict of Fontainebleau (1685). This ended legal recognition of Protestantism in France and the Huguenots were forced to either convert to Catholicism (possibly as Nicodemites) or flee as refugees; they were subject to violent dragonnades. Louis XIV claimed that the French Huguenot population was reduced from about 900,000 or 800,000 adherents to just 1,000 or 1,500. He exaggerated the decline, but the dragonnades were devastating for the French Protestant community.

The remaining Huguenots faced continued persecution under Louis XV. By the time of his death in 1774, Calvinism had been nearly eliminated from France. Persecution of Protestants officially ended with the Edict of Versailles, signed by Louis XVI in 1787. Two years later, with the Revolutionary Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen of 1789, Protestants gained equal rights as citizens.
