Why are you all arguing about the wigs and all that ... you people seem like you have nothing important to do  ...  this is a free world.  If men want to wear wigs let them wear wigs.  Would it make any difference to the way you are living?  Are they taking any money from your pockets?   I really don&#039;t mind them.  Some do seem rediculous but who cares?  It&#039;s their problem not mine .. or yours!!!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[He wears a wig to hide the scars left by PN tugs after the 98 elections.

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - He wore a wig before he was attacked, Grace. He opened to the door to those strange men at midnight without his wig on, hence the cuts to his scalp. The wig would have afforded plenty of protection, its only useful purpose. He then released photographs to the press showing the cuts on his bald head, and sadly, the sight of Tarcisio Mifsud without his wig obscured the story of Tarcisio Mifsud being attacked. So get your facts straight. Also, tugs pull ships out of harbour and there was no political motivation involved in the attack. The question that was never answered, on the other hand, is this: those men who he said he had never seen before rang his door-bell in the middle of the night when he was alone at home because his wife and daughter were out of the country. And instead of speaking to them from the balcony or an upstairs window and then calling the police, he opened the door to them. But after all this time nobody cares, really. Just remember: he wore a wig before 1998.]&lt;/strong&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I suggest that Alfred Sant and Vince Farrugia should get in touch with Tarcisio and enquire about his wig as I must agree with you Daphne, this guy is an expert when it comes to wigs.

@ John Tabone

Dear Dr Tabone, your argument is ridiculous. I am bald and happy. I started losing my hair at 25 and back then my hair was very important for me but I just accepted it and would never ever consider wearing a wig. It is simply ridiculous especially in a country like Malta where everyone knows everyone.]]></description>

Some tiny hints for the empty vessels: I am 35 years old and no I am not wearing a wig. I WOULDN&#039;T MIND IF I NEEDED ONE. I am a doctor too for a change.

Alopecia in males can be pathological. Losing hair from the forehead is one thing and doesn&#039;t bother anyone, but losing patches of hair randomly at a young age is another thing.

Can you imagine being at the workplace and one day your hair is fine and after a month three quarters of your hair is gone, patches falling here and there ?

&lt;strong&gt;[Daphne - Just shave it. That&#039;s what the normal men do, the ones who don&#039;t think that a wig is less embarrassing and more attractive than a shaven head, that is. Ask around: women would rather you took a razor to your head than walked out in, horrors, a rug.]&lt;/strong&gt;

Alopecia areata multilocularis or Alopecia areata totalis - it&#039;s nasty but it can happen to anyone. It might affect your job, your social perception, driving you into depression. Cheap people like you are not helping these people. It&#039;s like making fun of disabled people. It&#039;s on the same wavelength. Bad isn&#039;t it ?

I&#039;d like to express MY SOLIDARITY with all people wearing wigs.

STOP THIS RUBBISH. Empty vessels make most sound but they&#039;re still empty vessels.]]></description>

“Men should never wear socks stuffed down their trousers”

Who are you to decide that men should never wear socks stuffed down their trousers ? I repeat… who are you ?

I can never imagine myself passing such comments about the female sex. I will never imagine myself saying female should never wear prosthesis of any kind.

To all men wearing socks stuffed down their trousers….. KEEP ON WEARING THEM IF YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH SOCKS STUFFED DOWN YOUR TROUSERS.

You are offending all poeple with tiny...[I&#039;ll leave that out].

I know the answer. YOU ARE NO ONE.]]></description>
