Plastic surgey is horrible. We don't need to make our bodies perfect, or better. This is how we are born, accept it for what it is. The only reason people get plastic surgery is because of today's society, all modern society is worried about is perfect women and money. Mutilating your body, and making a practice out of it is perfectly legal. Smoking a plant is not?
Its not about what people do to there body, its this thing that soceity has spawned with Medical Technology , and Insecurities.
Your average woman prefers beauty over brains because your average man can see better then he can think.....
Guess thats just how it is now a days huh? Personally, I think its sick. I can understand, if you have a disfigurement, or need it for medicinal use. A face lift , botox , and a tummy tuck, all expamples of what im talkin about. I mean im not outraged over it. I know thats how the world goes now-a-days, but the world was perfectly fine before we had Silicon breasts.
I totally agree with you fAKdded, through my journey of life i find it rare that more people dont see the disgust in it. My mom is totally for plastic surgery, her thing is 'if it makes you feel better about yourself why would you have a problem with it'. I just think people are becoming more and more concerned about looks and live their life in vain trying to meet the societal 'norm' which looks awful and unhealthy IMO.
interesting thread... reminded me of the show Nip/Tuck. The dudes always ask "Tell us what you don't you like about yourself". It is kinda sad that so many people are so unhappy with themselves that they need to have drastic plastic surgery to make themselves look totally different, but with that being said i see no problem with making minor cosmetic adjustments here and there. I see it as no different than say whitening your teeth or something... what you do to your body should be totally up to you.
the worst case of all this, Fox's "The Swan." oh god that show was horrible. I cant believe something like that could be on TV. find two girls who have thought they were ugly and inferior their whole lifes, so much so that they are willing to let strangers rebuild most of their face and body, and then after 3 months of going thru all this hell, they are subject to a beauty pagent, where one of the girls is told, after all this, you still arent good enough. i just cant imagine the heartbreak the loser must have felt after all this. And to think, theres no going back after that. what if they didnt like the outcome? what if their husband didnt? discusting.
Look at it from the other side of the fence; Artistic Body Modification (ie peircings, tattoos, etc.). Same thing, isn't it?
Their body, they can do whatever they want in my mind. But I'll never pay for it on my own body, even though I'm far from perfect.
Not really, Theese things have been practiced for many years by civilaztions. I think its just the Moral decay, and modern medical technology.
The only difference between tattoos/piercings and plastic surgery is that one is used to try to make a body look different from everyone else, and one is used to try to make a body look the same [as everyone else]. I don't see the moral issue but to each their own.
So has religious mortification, doesn't mean it's right or even legitimate. Anti-semetism has also existed for thousands of years, ever since and even pre-dating the exodus of the Jewish people, doesn't make it acceptable. Don't get me wrong, i'm not saying body modification is wrong, i'm just saying that they're both drastic forms of modifying one's body. The objective isn't nessecarily rationalized in the reasoning, when it comes to plastic surgurey. Many people have it to fix severe athstetic issue, but for those who dont; those who choose to have plastic surgurey based on ideals of perfection, or even their own personal concepts of beauty is really not far off base with the reason some people modify their bodies; because it's somewhat acceptable in society, especially in youth culture. It's vainity, many people get peircings or tattoos to look a certain way, to fit an image, appear more agressive, fit into social groups. If the reasoning is similar, fundamentally, then what does the objective matter (in this case)?
ouch! i see where your coming from fakked, but the same way you believe you should be able to smoke the reefer, they believe they should be abke to do that to their body. But i will say this girls who are not fully developed getting boob jobs,..that's fucked up wearing make-up at like 11,..that's fucked up not allowing people to do things that effect no one but themselves,..that's fucked up
The old age of a practice is no way to justify it. My grandfather hasn't clipped his nails in ages. That doesn't change the fact that they're dirty, smelly, disgusting fingernails. The old practice of clipping fingernails is not justified by it's old age, but rather by the fact that it prevents dirty, smelly, disgusting fingernails.
wouldn't know dude... can't see myself being friends with anyone stupid enough to get it lol besides that my type of girl looks perfect as is
