[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think the 30 minute rule makes sense.  if someone is just ugly or has a big nose, you shouldn't make fun of them.  if they have a ridiculous hair style, fair game.

something they can not easily change about themselves, why should they be made fun of for something like that.  ridiculous choices, sure, go ahead.[/quote]

This sounds reasonable but actually is just as vicious as someone who makes fun of someone for having a big nose. Who are you to judge someone else's hairstyle of clothes? Really, what are your credentials here? Some of the people I've known who were quickest to criticize someone else's appearance were people with what I consider to be bad taste, and I often view it as a mark of someone's insecurity about their own appearance if they feel the need to criticize others.

I think 15-20 years ago most people felt the way you do, but it's out of step with the times. People have wised up to the idea that saying unkind things about people for no reason is actually kind of awful. It's one thing to criticize for something that actually impacts you, for their behavior. But making fun of someone's appearance just seems tacky and low class to me. I'd much rather hang out with someone with ridiculous hair than someone who feels like that's a good reason to make fun of someone.[/quote]
