I cut 40+ people's hair this week and not one word of Shriavo or the Pope.

[Cobalt Violet]

Yet the MSM covered little else.


Wouldn't you say the MSM is out of touch with the people?

[rfranklin]

1. What were th ey talking about?

American Idol?

[Cobalt Violet]

5. Not that either.

Family,jobs, school, hair, weather, high gas prices, commutes, technology.

[hippiepunk]

2. I usually wouldn't talk to my barber

about someone's death. kinda creepy

[bigwillq]

3. And we all know how much gossip/talk

goes on at the barbershop (both male and female) so that really is saying something.

[jean]

4. Yes. And did your clients have any common thread in their convo's?

Gas prices, for instance?

[Cobalt Violet]

6. Yes. The price of gas came up several time.

[blm]

7. The GOP controlled media ALWAYS sensationalizes anything they think

can score political points or distract the public enough to get them to vote against the interests of the average worker and their family.

[kenny blankenship]

8. then you have something

to thank God for.

[etherealtruth]

9. I am not going to chance offending or upsetting

a person cutting my hair by discussing anything controversial. I think it might be hard to do a good job while upset or pissed off.

[Cobalt Violet]

13. Good idea. That's what I do at the dentist.

I never bring up religion or politics while cutting someones hair. I also would never give someone an intentional bad hair cut for their beliefs; but the thought would cross my mind.
They very well could have friends, family and co-workers who will come to me if I give them a good hair cut.

[DesEtoiles]

10. Do you find it rude if people don't want to talk when getting their

hair cut? With some people it's hard to make small talk for 30 minutes.

[Cobalt Violet]

14. No, I don't find it rude.

If they want to talk that's fine. If not, that's fine too.

[ruggerson]

11. If you were holding a scissors to my head

I wouldn't mention Terri Schiavo either

[Bluebear]

12. Don't THINK of dissing progressives at Cobalt Violet's salon!!

:hi:

[Cobalt Violet]

17. Lol! Nice hair don't! And that face!

:rofl: I haven't done a haircut that bad yet.

[Cleita]

15. I have noticed a trend in company like your shop or a coffee shop,

or a party where people aren't that well acquainted with each other of them not discussing anything political at all or anything that is in the latest news, unless it's on a very local level like news about the school board or something like that. It's like people are afraid to talk.

[woodsprite]

16. We included both

in a prayer in church today, and here I am sitting up in the balcony totally steamed because they didn't mention little Sun.

[yorkiemommie1]

18. i'm lucky

because the man who cuts my hair HATES * so we just go on and on!

he's from Chile. my friends who are from different South American countries ( and don't know each other ) ALL hate *!

[onehandle]

19. I don't usually talk about current events....

...with the woman who cuts my hair. Usually less substantial stuff like restaurants, car tales, trips we've taken or are going to take with our mates, and such.

[Cobalt Violet]

21. I just find it odd that if some news story is so important...

That the media sees fit to cover it non-stop, 24/7 for a week or two that no one brought it up or had anything to say about it.

[Ironpost]

20. I would say you had a very good week. n/t
