Whoa, I think people are getting a little bit too emotional here.  There are a LOT of great points in this thread (I must say, all made by those who are pro-dreads or have/had them), but they're starting to get really personal.  I do agree, though, that dreads are WAY hot and anyone who wants to get them, no matter their race or religious beliefs, should go for it!  Those who were saying that people with dreads are 'dirty hippies' or 'dumbfucks' or whatever else need to lay off the stereotypes (as Brody said in a more malicious manner, haha... what a silly little guy) and stop making this so offensive.  The thread topic was (if I remember correctly), 'Anyone else sporting some dreads', not 'see how much energy you can pour into rediculous efforts to bash someone's appearance'.  If you don't like dreads, merely say that you don't like them, you think they're ugly, or white people look stupid with them (as benditto did).  Don't go throwing names and stupid shit around to try to convey your opinion.  Hot damn, just CALM DOWN.
