Would you be willing be extremely physically ugly... if it meant living for 1,000 years at any age you choose?

With regards to treating ugly people poorly, I think that's just how the human race treats people they don't need anything from. We're really a very primitive, ugly species, if you think about it. We're only really extra nice to people who have something we want - whether it's the promise of a relationship witha good-looking person, or just the money of an older, not-necessarily attractive man.

But I won't discount the nature element. I think we do tend to create a sort of hierarchy about how we treat people, which is organized by looks, even if it's only subconscious. There's just something about an aesthetically-pleasing face, even if it belongs to someone I would never date - even if it's a person of my own gender.

I can't explain it. Maybe it is something primal and instictive. As for the inner beauty deal, though, I do want to say I think our society tends to take that to an extreme.

It is good to appreciate inner beauty, but I don't agree with our society's belief that it's the only thing that should matter. For one thing, it's natural for outter beauty to matter for obvious reasons: that's how we detect a suitable mate. You may not like that, but it's an arrangement that's kept us genetically healthy for millennia.

And for another thing, inner beauty can be faked. A person can be evil on the inside, but feign inner beauty with their actions. Many serial killers have done just that.

The only way to really get to know if someone is beautiful on the inside is to really get to know them and go through thick and thin with them. And once we've done that, I find that we DO love them for who they are on the inside, regardless of the exterior. I don't just mean me, but I think most people are like that.

So I don't think this is as big of an issue as people like you make it out to be. Maybe inner beauty matters more, but the thing about it is it takes a longer amount of time to get to know a person well enough to see their real inner beauty. That's just something you have to deal with if you want people to be judged by that.

Maybe we could stand to be nicer to those people who we've just met who don't have outter beauty, but on the whole, I don't think this is an unfair system at all, really.

Not that I was mean but I did avoid the person. Here is my story. I was on bowling league about 7th or 8th grade.

There was this girl at the bowling alley every Saturday when I was there. She had Downs syndrome. I was at the bar getting a soda and she was there eating Cheetos talking to one of her friends.

Next thing I know, she had her arm around my shoulder saying I was her boyfriend from that Cheetos stained, crumb laden mouth. After that I avoided her, was not mean, just avoided her. I think the main reason I avoided her was that I did not want to be ridiculed.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
