Knights would grow beards to cover the scars on there face. It was considered a proper thing to do since talk of War in court was barbaric.

You see, looking older is a good thing for some people. Take for instance me: 17 years. With beard, I look 17, maybe even older. Without the beard, people would think I was 14.

well, thats an excelent argument in favor of beards. if you have one, and you need to suddenly look younger (midlife crisis, or just to mess with your kid's heads) you can shave it. my dad's always had a full beard and mustache, in fact, he used to have a hell of a handle-bar mustache (a relic of his hairy years in the '70s), but then he shaved it and it never grew out long enough.

my mother's side of the family doesnt have the proper 'facial hair' genes, and can grow little more than stubble (damn Canadians and thier metric system genes), which conflicts with my dad's Romanian heritige of large hairy men.

And if you look like age 14 you can sneak into Pokemon CCG conventions and use your superior 17 your old intellect to decieve them into playing Magic.

hmmm... you have a point.... but last time I shaved I had to deal with a bunch of 12-year-olds who suddenly thought I was cute (*shudders at the recolection*). And as I said, I'm too damn lazy to shave

I'd say beards look best on old people and the stereotypical looking scottish people.

I think long beards only look good on wizards(see Gandalf, or an old Merlin). (well maybe dwarves too) So you should either be immortal (or at least several hundreds of years old) or have some kick butt magical ability to have one.

As these requirements don't apply to anyone on this planet (at least I don't believe so), long beards (say over 2 inches)should be prohibited by law.

It just has to be short or long. A semi-long beard just looks ugly.

Some people look good with beards, while others...
