Jesus came to establish the rules for the "new testament", many of the old
rules were suspended... if Jesus had walked around with short hair, such
as became the style this century, he would have had stood out like a sore
thumb...

Those are derived from artists depictions from the middle ages.
During that epoch, long hair like yours was common, and it was natural
for the artists to paint Jesus to look like themselves.

In actuality, it is highly probable that Jesus had short hair. Even
the History Channel has put on programming which points that out.
Your own lack of scholarship is clearly evident in the comments quoted
above.

Paul (or Saul) lived during Jesus' time and was intimately familiar
with the customs of the day. Long hair like yours was regarded as
effeminate by most male Roman citizens (Saul was a Roman citizen), and
hence the quote from one of Saul's letters to the Corinthians.

If Saul were alive today, he would probably say "If Woger posts his
photo on Yahoo, it is a shame unto him."

And he would be right.
