Mufasa (the EEPster) should shave his head.

*This is such a useless debate for others to read, since the majority of it is personal anecdotes. But to settle this matter between you and me, I'll continue. * -Counterarguments- 1. You did not state any reason of why Mufasa doesn't thoroughly was his hair, but mere speculation. You've only stated that his parents might or might not have taught him "proper hygiene" and that it seems too hard for him to wash it. However, it seems you haven't even read my argument at all. First of all, the nature of this debate IS personal anecdotes, which is why I find such a debate ridiculous. But since it's a thing between you and me, you should be able to relate to many of these points since we both are in the same class with him. As I have said, the nature of his hair everyday shows that it IS washed. You can smell the shampoo, it's always looking the same, and thus is never oily or flaky. You can SEE if someone hasn't washed their hair for more than a few days. It turns stickier than usual, and looks greasy; come on this is common sense. Even if were to be hard for him to wash his hair, he evidently succeeds at washing his hair. "However, I will respond by saying Michael's hair is so thick and dense that he is not able to reach certain areas and his scalp. It's way too difficult to get every area. Young males typically do not care that much about their hygienes tend not to invest that much time into maintaing it. It takes way too much time to thoroughly wash every part. " -Apparently you've never washed long/big hair. Water soaks down you hair, and you can run your finger through it. It is not at all hard to reach your scalp; he's not physically impaired by his hair. His parents would help him shower when he was young. He has a brother with long hair also, albeit not the same hair type and thus not as poofy. A family with two kids with long hair should very well know how to take care of such hair. Besides, this isn't a point anyway. I've already shown his hair to be clean, and thus your argument crumbles in this respect. "You can't say, with a degree of certitude greater than 50%, that his hair is thoroughly washed, unless you shower with him. Because, without any existence of evidence it either is thoroughly washed or isn't. I, however, have support that boosts the probability that he is not thoroughly washing his hair. " -So what it possible for you to say with a degree of certitude greater than 50% that his hair ISN'T thoroughly washed? Observations and common sense is what you use, and as is the same for me. So don't say such useless statements. So from reading your round 2, you argue that his hair garners tons of bacteria, AND because it transfers to other people, it's hazardous. This argument can be broken in two ways. First, you will have to tackle my points about his hair being ALREADY clean. Secondly, the lack of washing one's hair leads to your scalp skin releasing toxins and thus become a breeding ground for infection. So even if Mufasa didn't wash his hair, people would have to come in contact with his scalp skin, not the tips of his hair. Shampoo serves to reduce builup in hair, with things such as dandruff and dirt. Even if someone came into skin contact with these dead cells, it is in no way hazardous to someone's health. We all have immunity systems, and something as simple as someone else's dandruff falling on our forearm won't kill us or even get us sick. Similarly so, the nature of Mufasa's hair, being very volumized and very curly, prevents it from flowing in the air as easy as you want to think. The pure weight of it keeps it down, and thus of not hitting other people. You have missed my point about afros. I stated that washing Mufasa's hair is like washing an afro. But I highly doubt you have the jewels to say that everyone with afros don't wash their hair. .. do you? As you can see, such a statement is ridiculous, as is saying Mufasa can't wash his hair. 2. Your example is moot, it's about cell phones and texting. People won't stare at someones looks and continually walk, they will usually do it when they are standing or sitting down. "Obviously, by the way I have described it (which went unchallenged, by the way), his hair is extremely out of the norm and can captivate people's attention. When you see something unusual or out of the ordinary, doesn't it grip your attention? " - Yeah sometimes I see scary goth kids, but I don't keep staring at them and walking. "People will stare excessively when it is impossible for the subject to meet there glances. That's why people get embarrassed, people stare and their glances are met, meaning THEY ARE BUSTED. Many people can relate to this information. " -This would happen if they were to walk behind Mufasa. In that case, it rules out a lot of possibility of running into things, because people have something called PERIPHERAL VISION. And they aren't entirely stupid, if they see Mufasa opening a door, they know theres a door in front of them to open. Not like they are literally hypnotized and unable to see the environment around them. 3. As i have shown, Mufasa's hair doesn't jeopardize others. It's his personal hair style, so he should be able to keep it. 4. Your points are just plain empty. *This entire debate is ridiculous, as are your arguments. He likes his hair, I like his hair, and that is all matters. Bacteria from unwashed hair does nothing to bystanders who happen to have dandruff fall on their forearm (how common is that? !). His hair doesn't impair other's ability to perceive other things in their environment, this very notion is comical.
