Which dumbass thought we should call everyone who isn't white "People of Colour"?
1. Black isn't a colour.
2. White is all colours.
3. White people change colour when cold, ashamed, hot, sick, dead, and they're born pretty red. Black people stay black.
"People of colour" is probably the most offensive way to call black people, right before "nigger".

Maybe I should say:

To shave facial hair or not to shave facial hair?

The question isn't as much if it looks good or not, but more if I can get away with not doing it I suppose...

If you grow a half-decent beard, it is absolutely unforgivable to wear a clean shaven face.
Anyone who can grow a beard and chooses not to deserves a punishment worse than death.
Putin33 (111 D)

Beards are gross. Nobody wants to see that muskrat with food particles all over your face. Especially if you're under 50.

Regardless, every person should strive to look their best. For most men, that includes growing a full beard (no homo). People should also know how to eat food without making a mess, if you get crumbs and shit in your beard you have other problems.

I think it's interesting that Putin of all people objects to facial hair, I love how his dossier of eccentricities is ever-expanding.

@steephie:
1. Shaving every morning is probably the best thing to do in case of doubt.
2. Women are attracted to men who take good and regular care of themselves, beard or no beard.
3. Unless you are planning on running a >50.000.000 people country into ruins, a mustache is ill-advised.

Is your objection to mustaches an eccentricity, Redhouse?
Invictus (240 D)
26 Jan 14 UTC
It's a pretty obvious Hitler joke, Putin33.

More on beards. It also depends on your job. A well-trimmed beard probably works anywhere, but can you afford the weeks looking like a scraggly bum as it grows in?

I believe every man should try a beard at least once. IIRC, OP is in HS, so you're beard is likely to look less like a beard and more like you puy glue on your face and rolled around in pubic hair. Give a try though and see.

Personally, I'm more partial to mustaches than beards.

@Steephie Go for it! Always try the thing you haven't before. Within reason of course.

If you are under 25, and your beard is decent, grow the beard. It'll be a win for you.

I once had a beard, it rocked, but now I'm a literal graybeard in an technology industry where age works against you. As such, I shave every god damn day. This also works well.

@CF: I haven't tried shaving either :P

The beard could be weird given I am 16 years old... Or not? :P
steephie22 (182 D(S))

Also, if I shave, that probably more than doubles my time in front of a mirror, and for me that's a big investment :P

With 16 i would not grow one. As Abgemacht said, it will probably look ridiculous.

I do have a beard and wont miss it. Seems like my wife apreciates it aswell, so all is good with the world.

Oh no no no, steephie22. Don't just let your virginal Shaggy facial hair keep growing. That will look horrible. Being 16 is hard enough without that kind of millstone on your face.

If you do shave, though, go with a straight razor. It will turn a morning hassle into a religious experience.

^abgemacht that's horse shit. A proper shave is done with the cheapest workable razor available, ice cold water, prior to getting into the shower.

Its been a while. I'd like to play some quality gunboat games for old times sake. I'd like to be at least 101 point buy in. 24-36 hour phases so everyone has time to get moves in. etc. This is sort of an invitational so I'd like to get some good players to play against.

Why are there non anonymous games?
Since meta gaming is strictly prohibited and frowned upon I have to say I see no benefit to having non anonymous games. All it does is allow people to carry grudges or othe stuff from past games rather than playing the game at hand. Similarly, there seems to be no clear reason why usernames can't also change

Is Communism a form of religious belief?
Is Communism a form of religious belief, where instead of seeing God’s hand at work in all things, one sees the class struggle? When historical events are re-interpreted from a Communist viewpoint in a discussion with non-Communists, is the effect the same as when believers re-interpret historical events as divine intervention, in a discussion with atheists?
