Mufasa (the EEPster) should shave his head.

"1. The burden of proof is on you to show that he doesn't thoroughly wash his hair and that he was never taught "proper hygiene" by his parents or guardians. From my standpoint, it seems quite clear that he washes his hair on a daily basis. It always looks the same, you can smell the shampoo when you are close to him, and it is never oily or flaky; things you would expect if he didn't wash his hair." I did state reasons why Mufasa doesn't thoroughly wash his hair. Since you did not refute any of them, my arguments stand. You are using personal experience to back your points. This is unacceptable because it could easily be fictitious. My evidence is based on broader perspective. 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. It is logical to say that if this were a habit of his, it would not be corrected because parents USUALLY do not shower with their children. Do yours? Also, have you ever dug through his hair look for flakes or oily parts? There is no way for you to prove that without encroaching on his personal space. Harmful bacteria are microscopic and, thus, go unnoticed. Does that mean they do not exist? No...and they are easily transferred. I want to mention something, again... 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. "Similarly so, if Mufasa should shave his head because it is rarely washed, then following this same line of reasoning, so should people with dreadlocks. They will wash their head from every 4 days to 2 weeks, many times longer than that." Dreadlocks are less apt to come in contact with people, unlike Mufasa's hair which uncannily extends for at least one foot horizontally and flows down past his shoulders to his waist. It is curly and unruly. Dreadlocks are tighly bound and only extend vertically downward. "Washing and grooming an afro is just as hard for Mufasa to wash and groom his hair." Like I already mentioned, afros are less apt to come in contact with people. "2. An unwarranted claim, it is your burden to prove that his hair actually hypnotizes people, and causes them to run into objects. Having been around Mufasa many times, I have never once seen a person run into something because they were distracted by his hair. But personal anecdotes aside, there have been plenty of other people with unusual hair, whether it be the style or the color." I never ruled out the possibiltity of other hair styles having the same effect, did I? ...Mufasa's hair is especially dangerous because of the health hazards. Listen, many people can relate with me when I say...when distracted, you run into things. If you don't believe me, check this out. ---- http://www.engadget.com... ---- 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? Also, I did not use a personal anecdote, I just used an example to illustrate that Mufasa's hair is much more distracting that certain common distractions encountered. "People wouldn't stare at something and continually walk for two reasons: (a) Most people aren't captivated enough by hair to constantly stare and walk at the same time. If they were to constantly stare, this would most likely happen when they are standing or sitting. (b) People will be embarrassed to be caught staring at someone, whether it be their hair or boobs; so they won't stare excessively." 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. "-Contentions- 1. It's unusual, and defines Mufasa as a person. Everyone knows him by his hair, and this is one thing that distinguishes him from society. Who want's to be a normal duckling?" Clearly, by the fact that so many people focus only on his hair, it is hypnotic and a distraction. Mufasa can be unique in a way that does not jeopardize others. "2. It doesn't impede on Mufasa's ability to perform well in academics, and he isn't personally interested in sports anyway." It impedes on other's abilities to perform well in academics because it's a distraction. Obviously he isn't interested in other's well-beings, otherwise he would shave his head. I mean, he should shave his head to a certain degree...just so it is not harmful to others.
