I had a whole slew of people block me a couple of year ago for stating that beards make men seen less trustworthy and that those who grow them are overcompensating lost masculinity. Seems science backs me up (again).

In the western hemisphere, beards are a trend.  Is it trendy to be less trustworthy and/or sexist, or are the less trustworthy/sexist more likely to be bearded? Or is this a reflection of fear of muslims, which have an overrepresentation of people with beards, simply because people from the middle east appear to have a genetic disposition for facial hair?

And that's perfectly okay, A Pérez​. ;)

Lars Fosdal​, this just a recent study. For decades social studies have supported these outcome. It's one of the reasons politicians always shave during election season (to appear more trustworthy) and why newscasters almost never sport beards.

Beards are to identify hipsters and Islamic terrorists. Yes, up until about WWII, beards were fairly common, but so was taking days or weeks between showers, polio and smallpox.

Most beards are revolting. Therefore, having a beard must be linked to impaired capacity of self criticism, unrealistic self perception, and narcissism.

I watched the first half of Vikings season one. Just kind of fell off. I keep meaning to get the DVDs and marathon it.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
