Now look, folks, we are all entitled to have our own opinions in a free society...

Except for really dangerous types like Bearded Bruce! ;-) But at least he has the courage of his convictions. Note this defiant statement he made:

"Some, not capable of the manliness needed to grow a respectable one (beard) have tried to inflict barbaric ritual mutilation upon the rest of use, but they are WRONG!"

So...THAT's how you see it, is it, Bruce? I thought so. Very well then, sir. So be it. When the battle lines are drawn I expect to see you standing in the foremost ranks of the barbarous bearded hordes, weapon in hand. And you shall see me standing ready amongst the noble and disciplined lines of the Praetorian legions, our gilded eagles and steel armour shining in the sun, our swords and shields ready for the fray, our cleanshaven faces declaring the manhood and purity of the enlightened world for all to see. Then we shall see where manliness lies!
