So you're going to judge and treat people differently based on the fact that you think they look icky?
"Icky" is an understatement, those two look like something out of a horror movie. Better yet, South Park actually made me a little bit intimidated by their version Michael Jackson [http://theoccultsection.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/michael-jackson-ghost-south-park.jpg].

Did you miss where the photograph says "unnerving push towards uniformity"?
What are you talking about?

Well thats your problem. If you think you have the right way to live which is better than anybody else's, then why haven't you earned a Nobel Peace Prize yet?
Its not a problem at all, I have every right to judge a person. Its a human thing to do.
I never said I was perfect and above criticism, but that doesn't revoke my right to had thoughts and opinions on the appearance of other people.

Not really, I've never been accused of being addicted for playing video games for 15 out of 168 hours.

No, but it does explain some of his operations so that not all of them are without what you consider merit.
In regards to surgery related to fixing his burns? Sure, they have merit. Now in regards to dyeing his skin or getting multiple nose surgeries? No, it doesn't justify them.

Missing out on something that is meaningful to you? Thats generally not a good thing.
That is hardly "suffering", more along the lines of first world problems.
MarsAtlas said:
You can, but I've seen it done by people who lacked a lot of social skills, so its not unachievable.
MarsAtlas said:
So your comparison between spending too much time on video games and getting multiple surgeries when you don't need them doesn't hold up. You can make new friends, you can't get your old nose back.

Let me compare this situation to marriage. Its "til death do us part", right? But whats wrong with a marriage that is very happy for 30 years that doesn't make it worthwhile? Why can't it be twenty years, or ten, or just five years, if its five years that improves the lives of the people involved? People call that a failure, five years of happiness, because of the fact that you're technically considered divorced now, something irreversible. So what if somebody has an operation that improves their life, but it doesn't do so for the rest of their life. Does the fact that it worked out for them for ten years, and then because the person suddenly feels its not longer beneficial, mean that part of those ten years of their life where the alteration drastically improved the quality of their life were somehow wasted?
Carpe Diem, really? I guess I would consider that person short sighted for living for the "now" and disregarding the future when it involves something as serious as facial plastic surgery.
