reading through the comments of which there are 1000, so many people have to say stuff like "it looks so much better, now he doesn't look like a druggie" or "he should have cut it years ago" or "now he looks like a normal person"
so much positivity for the move, which is good about supporting kids with cancer, I get that, but just reading it I get the feeling that the fact a long haired man cut his hair really adds to the positivity for so many of the posters, kind of got me riled up reading many of the comments. I wonder if he had only donated half of his hair and kept it half long to grow out again if everyone would have been still praising?

Short hair = slavery and conformity. No wonder Yahoo promotes this type of thinking to the masses as this is what they want from people: obedience. Yahoo News might as well be the arm of the communist propaganda movement.
Meh. That's pretty much par for the course, I'm afraid. I just think it's somewhat humorous at this point, and I'm glad I can laugh at people who demand what "looks acceptable." The only thing I can do is not participate in that realm of discussion, so I can get the spectator's view. And, keep growing my long hair, of course.
Don't respond to it, and don't feed it.
Remember the old internet adage to not feed the trolls.

Donating shed hair makes the most sense to me. Why not have your cake and eat it too? There is currently more than enough hair in that box for a long hair wig.

La cascatura is what they call it in Sicily. The hair buyer calls round every month to collect shed hair for the wig-making industry. For hair your length, they'd probably pay something like 100 euros per kilo.
