The Ugliness Problem- Is it irrational to discriminate against the appearance-challenged?

Good God! Talk about FUGLY!

I posted those two guys four years ago and it was deleted by the mod. I think it was too scary for people to see.

The mating practices of human beings offer a reason for thinking beauty and intelligence might come in the same package

First let me state that I am a woman. I have a friend whose husband I thought was rather cute when I first met him. He opened his mouth and I've never thought him cute ever again. He is a dimwit and he isn't blond either.

[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

Yeah, sure. That's why all of the girls (both of them) in my Fluid Dynamics and Wave Mechanics classes were supermodels on the side. We used to have a joke in my college Physics classes, though it is true far more often than not: "Beauty times Brains equals a constant." Sadly, telling it to an attractive woman usually confirms the theory. ("Huh? I don't get it.")

According to Erdal Tekin, a research fellow at the National Bureau of Economic Research, low attractiveness ratings predict lower test scores and a greater likelihood of criminal activity.

And the fact that less educated/intelligent people might not take as good care of themselves never crossed their minds...

I too absolutely detest having my pic taken.

I have been known to pull film out of cameras.

I have no idea what you look like, but I think all Republican Biker Chicks are cool.

"How exactly do you outlaw discrimination against ugly people? How do you write that law, let alone enforce it?"

You just let me worry about the wording of the law.

Sincerely,

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Well I have 3 pics of you in my Freepmail somewhere. So if mine shows up, so will yours!!! (devious laughter)

I do NOT want that woman to be President! Nor do I want Feinstein or DeGeneres as President, either!

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

I have an announcement to deliver to all of the cute people all over the world.
If you're out there and you're cute, maybe you're beautiful, I just want to tell you something:
There's more of us ugly &@#$%*@#$%ers than you are, hey!

[Darksheare]

Well, if you do, use the one with the most humor use available.

[Hand em their arse]

Never get into fights with ugly people, they have nothing to lose.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

I am holding your pic to keep you from posting mine!

[JamesP81]

I will probably have to pay a massive bribe to my best friend and his wife-to-be to not show them to anyone.

OTOH, at least I don't have to have my own wedding pictures laying around. A desperate troll wouldn't date or marry me. At least, since it's not my wedding, I can escape the majority of the pictures. Might be able to get away with only being in one or two.

If I'm lucky.

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Well, I at least got someone to marry me. Poor bastard!

[Revolting cat!]

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life 
Never make a pretty women your wife 
Go for my personal point of view 
Get an ugly girl to marry you 

A pretty women makes her husband look small 
it very often causes his downfall 
As soon as he merrys her then she starts 
to do the things that will break his heart 
but if you make an ugly women your wife 
you'll be happy for the rest of your life 
An ugly women cooks meals on time 
and she'll always give you a piece of Mind

When you look up ugly in the dictionary, you'll see a picture of Waxman.
