And quite often ugly people aren't all they're cracked up to be.
I wasn't aware I was having an INTERACTION with someone by commenting on their picture that was posted on a chatboard. If someone posted a picture of George Bush on the 9:30 chatboard, and you commented "That guy is an asshole", are you thus having an interaction with him?
And as far as JUDGING her, yes, I was judging her looks. I was not projecting that as a complete judgment of her as a person. Based on what I see and read about her, she's book smart and homely, which is what I pointed out. She's also stupid for being addicted to soda. Those are the only judgments I can really make about her, and they certainly don't cover a lot of ground.
Some of you need to get over yourselves and stop being so selectively judgmental. Why aren't you calling out Vansmack or Fico for being shallow every time they point out that some 18 year old girl is "hot"?

Why would anyone be anything other than shallow on an internet message board?
And why does pointing out what people look like make someone shallow anyway? I'll bet looks are the only thing you notice about 99% of the people you come in contact with yourself.

Yeah dude...you're constantly saying how ugly, fat, bald etc people are. It's pretty funny actually.
Shallow, shallow, shallow.
Too bad we can't all be super buff male supermodels like Mr. Rhett. You should change your username Rhett, Shallow Male Supermodel.

You'll have to ask yourself that question, no? While this may only be an internet message board, yes, some of us do take offense to superficiality, no matter the context.
Your argument is what's troubling me right now. When asking why your comment made you shallow, you reasoned with the fact that apparently everyone else acts this way. I'm going to have to say that there are plenty of us on here that don't pay that much attention to that kind of stuff. There's a difference between taking notice of someone's appearence (something which is simply human nature), and using that observation in your judgement/interaction with that person. And as far as I'm concerned, the second one is NOT okay in my book. Whether on an internet message board, or in real life.
Say what you will - I'm the LAST person who is going to try to dissuade anyone from speaking their mind. But just trust me; beautiful people are NOT all they're cracked up to be. [/b]
