    Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

            I know I'm sloww, but I still don't understand how mandating that, I'll pick a name at random, Mobius for instance, gets rid of glasses, takes out his false chompers, and removes toupee for a photo for his passport is going to solve anything.

            SOMEONE please explain this to me.
            What is the gain?

                The purpose of passport photos is to identify the holder. So of course a neutral/normal expression is preferable. After all, few people walk around with a stupid grin on their face the whole time.

                Government authorities deemed it necessary to advice people on how to get their photo taken for a government issued document. I don't see what the problem is.

                  I really don't understand what the problem here is.

                        Sloww, sometimes I just don't understand you. If you need to get a government document then they have every right to ask that you conform to their standards (which are in place for obvious practical reasons).

                            Ok, I get your point.
                            Now we don't have to work about terrorists with UK passports.
                            I know I'll sleep easier.
