Boy meets girl, girl is physically smoking hot! Girl thinks boy is incredibly handsome. Both say to themselves after a few dates, "Even if he/she gets fact, ugly, loses all his/her teeth and smells bad...so long as he/she has intelligence, compassion, empathy, courage, ingenuity, etc., ... he/she is my soulmate for life!" Sad no one ever!!!

It happens all the time. People often commit to each other for "better or worse". It's like you've never seen a wedding vow. I bet you would really scratch your head at a beautiful woman with a not so beautiful man, but, again, this happens all the time. Not everyone is so vain and egotistical that they would dismiss potential partners because they aren't fit for magazine covers. Besides, beauty is in the eye of the beholder (its not an objective measure) and there are other factors that might be more crucial.
It does NOT happen all the time. It's the exception to the rule, if and when it even does happen. 
Beauty is objective. Megan Fox (back when she was in the first Transformers movie) standing next to say, Maya Rudolph or Rachel Dratch, any boy/man would drool over Megan Fox and be repulsed by the other two. Ugly men would drool over both. Cause if May or Rachel hit on them, they'd feel special.



The fact that we did not stop degenerates from procreating has led us to the epidemic of the mental health, health care and crime crisis that we have had [...]
That is quite the claim. Could it be the frequency of mental health issues has not changed, but awareness is higher? Or perhaps, frequency of health care issues and crime has increased because of unique factors straining all aspects of modern society like, say, a worldwide pandemic? Suffice to say, I question your assumptions and your conclusion.
If you have done half the research and studying (via academics) that I have, you would know that my claim isn't that quite. The pandemic has nothing to do with my claim, because what I said applied directly to times before the pandemic. The pandemic only exacerbated the already existing negative issues referenced.

There just are too, far too many fucking UGLY people in this world.
great idea

let's change the conversation

nobody can say "race" or "racism" ever again

we'll just start saying "UGLY" versus "PRETTY"

everyone hates "UGLY" and everyone loves "PRETTY"

one example of this is that courts routinely give lighter sentences to people who are considered "PRETTY"

and harsher sentences to people who are considered particularly "UGLY"

Actually you are wrong, there are ugly people and there are attractive people in appearance.  It is absolute undeniable fact. It isn't some made up social construct.
well stated

Physical "attractiveness" has ZERO to do with intelligence, compassion, empathy, courage, etc. etc. etc. 
Agreed - and that's the point: These attributes stand apart from attractiveness and add value to humanity nonetheless. 
general attractiveness does have a sizable effect on an individual's world-view and can impact one's educational opportunities for example

@TWS1405
the italians want to live in an italian neighborhood
the russians want to live in a russian neighborhood
the vietnamese want to live in a vietnamese neighborhood
the haitians want to live in a haitian neighborhood
the jamaicans want to live in a jamaican neighborhood
and they tell us that black students do better in school with black teachers
doesn't this translate logically to everyone else as well ?
sense of community
is like a sixth sense
food and language
cult(ure)

Discrimination for sure.

Sense the difference, assess the difference, respond to the difference.

Pretend to be indifferent.

And some people are better than others at maintaining the pretence.

Tolerance and respect of differences only works if all parties are tolerant and respectful of differences.

Nonetheless there's a chance that everything is not chaos. 

There is perhaps an overriding evolutionary certainty to everything. 

Or perhaps there isn't, in which case hope is futile.

Nonetheless hope is beneficial if it gives us a lifetime of hope.
