  1. Re:I started to lose my hair when I was 17... on Hair Growth Signal Dictated By Fat Cells · · Score: 0

    I know plenty of people with baldness AND type 2 diabetes, my own dad for one, guess what - He hasn't killed himself.

    If he did, he'd be a moron.

    I have no sympathy for stupid people who are so caught up in themselves, that having something like hair is enough to end your life over. Maybe not having hair because you are undergoing radiation treatment, and have terminal cancer, then yes, you have the right to do what you want with your life.

    But your original statement implies that people feel strongly enough about just been bald, that they will kill themselves. If that's the case, they're shallow narcissistic, vain morons.

    And no this article is about us potentially finding away to control it, currently we don't have any other than one's that make you look like donald trump. I never said there is anything wrong with trying to find a cure for, so reading comprehension fail on your part, all I said is that if you kill yourself because you're bald, you're a moron. Still stand by that.

    If you're going to kill yourself over some genetic trait that you have no control over then you're a moron and should get over it.

    If your biggest problem, is that you're going bald \ are bald, then you have a pretty damn good life, and I shave my head because I'm going bald, so think I can offer an opinion on the matter.

    "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear from surveillance."

    It's a step down a slippery slope from "I have nothing to hide the cops can do what they want, I'm innocent"

    to

    "Are you looking at me boy" "No officer" "I don't like you boy, a night in jail would teach you some manners" "But I didn't do anything"

    "Talking back hey?" Cops promptly step in an beat the kak out of you.

    The problem with slippery slopes is they've very difficult to get off once you're on them.

    Bullshit, I'm early 30s and grew up with PC's and that was in Africa, had a PC that I was hitting the keyboard on at 9 months old.

    BTW, if you think hitting a child is the same as smacking a child, you need some serious help.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapon

    A weapon is a tool employed to gain a tactical advantage over an adversary, usually by injury, defeat, or destruction.[1][2]. There are a huge variety of weapons, which all have different means of coercion. Weapons may be used to attack and defend, and consequently also to threaten or protect. Metaphorically, anything used to damage (even psychologically) can be referred to as a weapon. A weapon can be as simple as a club or as complex as an intercontinental ballistic missile.

    weapon
    Noun
    1. an object used in fighting, such as a knife or gun
    2. anything used to get the better of an opponent: having a sense of humour is a weapon of self-defence [Old English wpen]
    Collins Essential English Dictionary 2nd Edition 2006 © HarperCollins Publishers 2004, 2006

    So if a Buick is used with the intent of killing someone, then it's a weapon, if my fist is used to punch someone, then my hand is a weapon. Hence the intention of it's use is a deciding factor in what makes it a weapon or not.
