Ah, yes, "Let us trim our hair in accordance with the socialist lifestyle." :roll:

I have two questions:
I have two answers. :p

Do you approve of any of these hairstyles?
Some of them are nice.

Do you believe the North Korean government should restrict what hairstyles the citizens can and cannot have?
Absolutely not.

I, myself, believe that North Korea should be able to do this. For some reason, the North Korean government's strict policies have made it's citizens love their country (educational brainwashing aside), and I admire that. Besides, some of those haircuts are pretty classy.
Seriously? That's kind of completely missing the fucking point, isn't it? :palm:

Does this mean beards are not tolerated in Best Korea?

Oh god, WHAT?!?! I hadn't even thought of that implication. I'll call George Bush the Third Barack Obama, and get him to intervene. Unbeardliness must not be tolerated.

Hey, at least they're given choice. And at least they're atheists and have little Western cultural influence; can't stand gender policing, religion and culture, especially put together.

Please excuse the crap I put out on this thread; like this nation, I am also a work-in-progress.

Also, nation doesn't have anything to do with Greece, despite its name.

You have to be kidding me. Why would a country limit the hairstyles that it's citizens can have?

North Korea's pretty conservative.

Either way, why do we limit anything that doesn't harm another person or even ourselves?

Who knows, maybe the government thinks that now a head full of hair is a great place to hide a bomb.
