A skin head is a person with no hair on their heads. They do not wear hair on their heads because they are bad. So when you see a skin head you will know very clearly that they are a bad person. Do not talk to a skin head. They will most likely attack you and hurt you emotionally or otherwise. So now you know what a person with no hair is: a skin head. And you know that they are also bad people. But did you know something? There are bad people too who are not skin heads! In fact, they have hair on top of their heads. Be very careful, because these are skin heads in disguise, and under their hair, they are actually a skin head with no hair. So be careful at all times. I am warning you. .d&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&b. The Neo-Comintern Magazine / Online Magazine is seeking submissions.
