Yep, sounds pretty silly to me. None of the men I've ever met who had a
mustache but no beard were ***. The *** men I've know were all clean
shaven.

He's a fictional character. I don't think JRR Tolkein addressed
his sexuality at all.

I'm pretty sure he didn't. I didn't watch the movies, I read the books.
Aside from some wonderful romances sex really didn't enter into it.

So we agree... 'zactly my opinion of women who are not well trimmed,
it's also nasty looking. Men with beards do NOT look in any way
masculine, not unless they think an untrimmed woman's crotch looks
masculine. I have always considered and still do that men with beards
are faggots, open or closeted but faggots none the less... they are
attempting to attract other faggots to their face like it were a nasty
untrimmed female crotch. That's why I can't understand mooslims with
beards, they abuse women yet they love men with beards... there can be
no doubt, none whatsoever, that mooslim males with beards are flaming
faggots. Why are images of muhammed forbidden, because he's bearded,
he's a faggot, allah is bearded too:

Thanks for the description of the cookbook, Janet. I do believe I may
purchase this book soon (have to check budget come end of month). I'll
look for the purchase details after I watch Cook's Country when it airs
tomorrow afternoon on PBS.

I do enjoy the show and how its talented cast demonstrates how
everything is so seemingly easy to make! Alas, Cook's Country and ATK
do not show the hard work needed afterwards when tools, gadgets,
cookware, dishes and flatware have to be cleaned and put away, which can
be rather time-consuming for a household of one. Oh well Hmmm, I
wonder what the average wages are for their dishwashers and cleaning
crews <----- that's a rhetorical question

the book they are selling on the show is for 7 seasons only and is
more expensive. You'd be better to shop Amazon or similar.

If you take the time to notice, most men with anything less than a
full beard can't support one.

Heh, no. I'm saying their facial hair is thin to non-existent in
places which dictates the style they settle on.

So they won't lose their jobs or promotions or be shunned by society.

Just because *** is "accepted" now doesn't mean much. A *** military
man might be accepted but he/she won't ever be promoted beyond a
certain level. A civilian company man might get bypassed with
promotions and depending on the powers above, could even get fired.

This is the real world and there is still lots of anti-*** sentiment
around. A company can't officially fire you for being *** but if they
want you gone, all it takes is showing up late for work a day or two.
If they want to lose you, it's easy enough and very legal too.

Personally, I don't care if someone is *** or not. Just keep it to
yourself though.
