Non-El-Hazard Topical Discussions / Re: Test: Are You A Hottie or Notty?
« on: October 17, 2003, 06:33:43 am »
I would just like to go off on a rant here, please insert earplugs now.
I don't get it. Why is appearance so valued in socity today? I mean, what is it? What is the defination of "beautiful"? Bleach blonde hair, ribs sticking out and tits like basketballs? Why are those considered beautiful? And in the end, what is beauty? Is it being so thin you can't bend over without the danger of snapping? Why can't people learn to look past the appearance. My apparance has put me through a lot of pain - will being "pretty" solve that? No. People are just too damned prejudgised. It not freakin' fair. The world seems to focus on what you look like. Why are models idolised? Most have done nothing but look pleasing to the eye. People are no longer appreciated for what they actually do, and are instead loved for their looks - too much of which is false. And people who are against cloning and "playing God", isn't plastic surgery to change your appearance "playing God"? I understand somepeople have had diseases, or have been in accidents who have corrective surgery - but people should learn to see past "defects". I admit, it is an inborn thing - we are mostly raised with the impulse to judge people on what they look like, but surely, humans have come such a long way, can't they fix their personality? Without much effort, you can actually be nice to people, imagine that.
And you! Stop rounding on Aya to show her picture. Have you ever thought she might not want you to see? Maybe she has low self esteem, and you are doing nothing to relieve the pressure of that! Maybe she feels ugly, or like people will stop liking her for what she looks like. It takes a lot of self believe, or even none at all, to post your picture to people who have come to know you for not what you look like, but who you are! Stop trying to make her give you an open window into her life! Can't you just like her for who she is? Or is appearance everything for you?

Okay, I'm done...
