Uglo-Americans???

Well when stopped by the police for speeding and other vehicle infractions it is true that attractive females get warnings while males get tickets.

On the witness stand in court, good looking perps get off more than the fugly ones do.

Who wouldn't want to be in the presence of beauty vs. skanks?

They checked if the adult buckled the child into the grocery cart seat

Michael Moore's parents used to buckle him to the junk food isle while they sneaked away for a leisurely lunch, a casual walk along the river ... capping it off with a few beers and some karaoke before returning to retrieve him just before closing at 11:00 PM.

My parents never let me go anywhere with them.

If certain parents treat their kids this way- they don't exactly protect their bloodlines.

Some people (myself included) are fugly children and don't become attractive until they're older. I'm not saying I'm model material, but I certainly don't look like I did when I was a kid. What about us???

No wonder I felt like my brother was babied! He was adorable, and I was...well...like I said, fugly. Messed up teeth, too tall, awkward. The whole deal.

>Of course, ugly is subjective. Herrell and his research team judged it on a sliding 10-point scale, one being the Lyle Lovett of kids, 10 being Brad Pitt.<

Ok, so if 10 represents Brad Pitt, what is Tom Selleck, 100?

hate to rain on everyone's parade, but just how did this guy define "ugly" and "attractive." what if his definitions are the same as that twilight zone episode? That could have some bearing on the study as well.

Perhaps we should expand hate crimes laws to cover ugly people. Helen Thomas can be the poster girl.

I wonder how scientists define "ugliness" and "beauty." Seems to be beyond the scope of the natural sciences.

It's also ironic because objective standards of human beauty or perfection require a fixed human nature as a basis of judgment --the existence of which evolutionists deny.
