Well, yeah, would you want Dave Grohl to be on the PTA at your school???
johndoNov 6, 2010
Hell yes I would... I bet the school would have an awesome music program.
Just because somebody has long hair, doesn't mean they're any less responsible or intelligent.

The shallow f**ks of this society who somehow manage to care what celebrities do and say.
phillaholicNov 6, 2010
Maybe it has to do with how people still have an unfair bias against people that don't look clean-cut. Grohl is a rather talented musician, he's not a heroin addict, but he has to disguise himself to be treated normal. Replace Grohl with Joe Schmo and you've got something.

Where is it? Don't tease me!
EDIT: Ah, it's all tiny and shtuff
LJMNov 6, 2010
This isn't particularly interesting, but I'm a big fan of Grohl so I'll default digg it.

It's kind of sad that in this day and age, long hair and other similar things are still looked at as irresponsible or unable to function in society.
nairebisNov 6, 2010
Sad? There is a direct correlation between responsible behavior and appearance. No, it's not a 100% predictor; there are plenty of clean-looking flakes, and plenty of responsible freaks. But many stereotypes exist for a reason.
Or to put it another way. You're in a bad, dark part of town. You can go two ways. One way has a couple of mild-mannered businessmen in conservative suits. The other way has a couple of long-haired, tatted up men in jeans and T-shirts. Which way would you go?
And if you say you wouldn't choose the cleaned-up men, you're a total liar.
digitaldeadstarNov 7, 2010
How would I be a total liar? I'd go with a crowd I fit in more with, which would be the "bad" looking men. And maybe it's just because I deal with those type of people more often that I find a lot of them are perfectly responsible adults who just happen to not fit in with their peers. And on that same token, most presentable people I find to be just as responsible. So in conclusion I find that appearance gives me little indicator of how a person actually is.
nairebisNov 7, 2010
So, you're saying that there is an equal probability of being beaten and robbed between the vagrant-looking men and the businessmen in this example rough neighborhood? Or you just would just deliberately take the vagrants despite the higher probability of being beaten and robbed, because you don't want to be judgmental?
Either way, you would be a fool who will deserve what you eventually get by ignoring reasonable caution.

Well I pretty much grew up in really crappy neighborhoods visiting family and playing with all the locals and getting to know them. That may have a hand in it. I go to various shows in horrible neighborhoods, been lost in bad areas of DC and Baltimore. I hop right out of my car and go up to the nearest person I see and ask for directions. It's no big deal. Same as I'd walk up to someone in a nice suit and tie and chat with them. Maybe I'm lucky, or maybe people aren't all that bad. One day I may get what I apparently deserve.
Am I supposed to see some black guy with his pants hanging down and run to the other side of the street? Skip going to the bathroom because a big, tattooed guy went in ahead of me?

Who is Dave Grohl and how is this important?
gkiltzNov 6, 2010
The school he went to was a pretty ordinary public school. Not a joke, but nothing special either. It worked for him!!
sniperhareNov 6, 2010
I doubt the people who run the preschool will know who he is.

You'd be surprised. The majority of Foo Fighters fans I've known are in their 30s and 40s.
lantzaNov 6, 2010
Hence why he should probably look like a respectable person not a former grunge rocker with long hair, tattoos, etc to prevent some sort of stereotyping.
absaysthisNov 6, 2010
Always nice to a responsible dad.. Am trying to be the best doting dad ever too..
koushiroNov 6, 2010
The biggest rock star on the planet? This is the first time I've ever heard of him. Sad he has to put on a costume for things like that. Society needs to loosen up a bit with the dress code thing.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
demdudeNov 6, 2010
The first time you've ever heard of him? What, have you been living under a rock for the past twenty years? Ever heard of a little band called Nirvana? Or another little band called the Foo Fighters?
koushiroNov 7, 2010
No? Should I have?
