Inspiration for those WOMPing. I put both the description and the interests into Google image search and got the following results:
I can't get face morphing website to load at work but I'm pretty sure those two will combine into Twid.
Description: 5'8," grey eyes, glasses, goatee, shaved head. Tattoo of a red dragon on upper right arm. Considered unarmed and harmless.
Interests: Heavy Metal, Discordianism, hot sauce, space, compulsive office supply purchasing, Friday, flat caps, wearing black for a week and then Hawaiian shirts, being easily amused

This.
It got argued quite a bit. I didn't see a clear definition.
To use one that makes sense. Something beautiful is something which is pleasing to look at. We want to look at beautiful things and we enjoy looking at them.
If that is an acceptable definition then people really do get more beautiful as we get to know them, assuming they have good attributes for us to get to know. I'd much rather look at my friend than some random well built stranger, my friend is more beautiful to me.
I'm talking about the current Western standard of physical beauty.
That's the OP, right there, giving a definition. Anyone who disagreed with that definition and started talking about some other shit wasn't actually involved in the same conversation.
Some asshat was all:
"BUT WHICH STANDARD OF PHYSICAL BEAUTY? HUH? HUH?"
//

:requia:
And the OP further clarified:
Let me try to simplify this for you: this is not about standards of physical beauty. This is not a debate about the Western standard of beauty or whether there's more than one. This is not about whether we have a biological drive to be sexually attracted to pretty people.
This is about the practice of using the concept of "beauty" as the ultimate value judgement. Rather than saying "it's OK to not be beautiful", we try to insist instead that people, women particularly, still have value because they have "beauty on the inside", or are "beautiful at any size", instead of validating the many other potential value sources they possess.
This merely reinforces the culturally ingrained ideal of beauty and reproductive viability as the source of a woman's value.
Which was nice of her, considering.
Then, as far as I can recall without going back again, some other dicks (and you kind of did it as well) were all "Okay, but if we use this definition that I have here, my response is as follows..." which is stupid, really.
It's like if I started a thread where I was all "POST ITT IF YOU THINK BETTY WHITE IS AWESOME." and RWHN came in and was like "IF BY 'BETTY WHITE' YOU MEAN 'GUNS' AND BY 'IS AWESOME' YOU MEAN 'SHOULD BE BANNED', THEN YES" which would be a dick move.

That kind of faith in the GPS reminds me of:
You're on the right track. On your way to the restaurant. You're going to love the restaur... No. Don't look outside. Look at the GPS. That's your car, there. On the way to dinner. That's you. That's the real you. On your way to the restaurant. You're on the right track.

Ficker said he was hired because the girl’s mother read that he had handled a similar case in Maryland. In that case, he represented a 6-year-old boy who was suspended by an elementary school for pointing at another student with his fingers folded like a gun and saying “pow.”
School authorities called it a “serious incident,” and said the boy “threatened to shoot” the other student.

Dear Mr and Mrs Oh, I don't know, probably Muhammad Hussein or something,
We regret to inform you that in order to protect our students from your terrorist daughter we have had to suspend her for ten days. We hope that at the end of this suspension period, she can return to school, no longer a terrorist.
Regards,
Ms. Susan Nestico
Principal

If the offender had been armed with the weapon in question at the time of the threat, would it have been reasonable for one of the newly armed teachers to shoot her?

Ficker asked the school principal to overturn the girl's suspension, but he refused. He did reduce the charge against her from terrorism to "threatening to harm another student." Her suspension was also shortened from 10 to 2 days.

I love that "terrorism" is an established charge in the kindergarten disciplinary system. I want to work at a kindergarten where the "Why was little Jimmy sent home today?" spreadsheet has a drop down for "bomb threats, biting, throwing toys, possession of lethal chemical agent".
