No matter how bad you think things are getting here, you read an artical about hair styles being banned. USA is the best in the world.
Goes to show how messed up religion is. To evolve, we need to stop this religion non sense.

I think this is just great! This is also Obama's plan for the U.S. No more mullets!! (Well it makes as much sense as his health plan)

In the 60s, plenty of long hair styles for men were banned in various parts of the US. Kids were kicked out of school for having Beatle haircuts in 1965.

Wow. Talk about priorities being in the right place. This is sooooo much more important than banning the stoning of women.

Banning disruptive hairstyles in schools is one thing. I'm fine with my kids' school banning green mohawks or whatever - it's a school, not a freak convention. But, for the government to legislate or criminalize certain hairstyles? Hell no. I'm with the previous commenter. No effing way the government is going to tell me how I can wear my hair! A "Modesty and Veil Festival?" That must be a riot! Like the opposite of Mardi Gras, I guess?

This is what religious fanaticism will do to you. We need to make sure something similar doesn't happen here by making sure our religious right nutbags never gain any control.

Cooper - if you lived in Iran (or other countries like Singapore) the effing government would tell you how to cut your hair. One assault by the Morals Police while they forcibly cut your hair, and probably add 20 or 30 lashes, and you'd fall in line damned quick. Next time our government talks about limiting our salt intake, think how far governments will go to control the people.

Talk about banning hair styles. Have you seen some of those sweat hog ayatollahs? Would you let someone that looks like that tell you how to look? God help them.

This is incredibly irresponsible reporting. In a country where human rights atroicities are common, to make light of this ban in this particular country with means makes us look stupid. This is not funny, and I am disappointed in the (journalists)article. There are serious horrific things going on in the name is Islam and these are very small, gradual policies that brainwash entire generations. Its amazing how we will see on the news in the US something about Kate plus8 or some other ridiculous event - and underneath the scrolling captions reads about a young woman killed by her own father becausue she dishonored the family by taking a boyfriend, etc. - HERE in the US. Stop the nonsense - and Erin if you do a report like this one that could have been meaningful without the jokes and gone into the seriousness of the lack of freedoms that continue in Iran you could call yourself a journalist. I realize it could also be your editor, but its not worth it is it.

Just to let some of you Einsteins know, Iraqis are not Arab. they are Persian. They don't speak Arabic, they speak Farsi. You wouldn't want anyone to mistake you for Russian or English, would you?

What a ridiculous waste of government resources. Isn't this the same country that was discussing women giving breast milk to male coworkers so they would be related and thus able to work together without supervision from the womans male relatives? On the other hand, an extremist attitude focused on hair styles rather than explosions is a relief. What is the big friggin deal about mullets & pony tails any how? I've seen worse!

Towel up...

I am really glad that I live in America because, WE HAVE FREEDOM to do whatever we want; of course to a limit. What's the big deal about Iraqi men have long hair! They wear a head thing anyways. Also what i can't stand is when people from Iraq come here to America to live, the women still wear the muslim crap, they are not in Iraq anymore, they don't need to wear that here.

The person who put there name on this artical seems to think this is one big joke. However it just a metaphor for a government who enslaves there people and will jail beat and
torture a person for something as innocent as a hair cut.
Are you still laughing Erin??If you where in Iran you
just might get your tounge cut out for your giggles.

Well, despite inbreeding, Iran finally did something the rest of the world should follow by outlawing the mullet. Now go out there and falsly accuse your wife of infidelity so you can watch her get stoned to death.

So, anyone out there still doubt Islam is nuts?

TD, obviously you haven't served in the military, or held a real job... Most jobs, (real ones that don't require the wearing of a nametab or paperhat), has dress codes, and hair codes..you must be independently wealthy, or on one of osama's programs...

Hey stupid people! Iran is not an Arab country! LMFAO! Let me guess, the people on here that think Iran is a Arab county are republicans.
