      So basically you don' think shaving your face is deceptive, just maintaining what exists. So why would a woman shaving her legs be any different? If she allows her pit hair and leg hair to grow, it becomes unkempt, so it should be shaved to maintain what exists. Your own logic.
      For the fifth time, I do think a man shaving his face entirely is deceptive, which is why I think men should wear beards. And also repeated again, pit and leg hair do not grow indefinitely as a man's facial hair does. Women shave those areas to give the impression that they have no hair there at all--vanity--as opposed to a man trimming his beard hair to adhere to social conventions of sanity and cleanliness--no vanity.

Combing your hair to keep it from being naturally unkempt it deception. Brushing your teeth to keep off the natural plaque is deception. Stopping your natural body odor or breath odor is deception. Wearing clothes is deception. At least according to the way YOU use the word "deception" in your arguments.
        Do you STILL not understand the difference between maintenance and destruction? To completely shave something away is to destroy it, not maintain it. All of those other activities, combing, brushing, etc. MAINTAIN what STILL exists. I am amazed that someone as idiotic as you was allowed to take over this site.

          Odd to a moron, perhaps. The difference is the involvement of vanity.

              I love how you try to avoid the issue. I was talking about trimming a beard too, or cutting your hair, or even combing it. Since "unkempt" is natural, trying to hide your unkemptness is deception.

              A woman shaving her legs and armpits is as much "social convention" as showering and shaving for a man. Or cutting your hair to a certain length. Your arguments hold no weight. You seem to think women can't wear or do certain things because "the bible" but men can ignore the same rules because "social conventions" - a double standard.

                deception is deception, Darfy. You are just now trying to move the goal posts to avoid having to admit you painted yourself into a corner. Do you see ANYONE agreeing with you? anyone?

                Where does the bible say that shaving is deception and trimming hair is not? Shaving is just trimming to the skin. It isnt "destroyed" - it grows right back.

                  It didn't say he's still married. In fact, I would read it that he has been married in the past but isn't any more.

                    vanity? I thought it was "deception"? OK let's go with vanity...

                    So back to the combing of your hair and trimming of your beard to not appear unkempt. Why would you want to do that? To appear more neat and attractive and not unkempt.

                    Therefore it is vanity.

                        I read that one big reason why it was voted down is that it would make the country too desirable to immigrants who'd want to move to the country and overwhelm the system given the EU and its open border policy.

                        If your whole worldview rests on a particular claim being true, you damn well better have evidence for it. You should have tons of evidence.

                          Considering that Switzerland is currently not part of the EU that reason is daft. (yes I am aware of the fact that they do have treaties with the EU allowing free movement of people, but the 2014 immigration referendum kinda shut that down already)

                          (they also just withdraw their application to join the EU)
