> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by MissBungle \* > \*\*People are born looking the way they do… for a reason. > > one can stay in the shallow end of the pool, by accepting society’s ideals \*\* Your opinion is uniformed and insensitive. Note that **MissBungle** believes that you are born with flat chests (whatever) “for a reason”. If you buy into this New Age philosophy then you can feel awful all your life knowing there’s a good reason for it. A little breast lift after you’ve had children is to defy (gasp!) the purpose of your existence. In other words, she believes that God, or something else unspecified, does not want you to change. She, of course, is the interpreter of this cosmic reasoning, and therefore (irony follows) you must not understand her perspective. If you don’t buy into this belief system, then her next point is that your personal decision, your personal feelings, are “shallow” if they conform to a societal ideal. She ignores your individuality and expects you to conform to _her_ ideal of self and society. Many people will project their own problems onto you. They will not understand the motivations of another person. Everything gets boiled down to a sour soup of ideology. Add a grain of salt before believing it. ---

Additionally, in the IMHO forum, YMMV is implied. I’ll save my argument that YOU are the one who wants to impose your opinion on others for the Pit thread that is likely to start soon. :rolleyes: ---

You’re the antagonist, here, Bungle. The rest of us are just having a conversation. And, seeing as how you’ve accumulated 118 posts in a month, you must like wasting time on this board just like the rest of us. The first step is admitting it… My name is Andygirl, I am a messageboard addict. And dammit, I’m not ashamed. ---

It was a joke.:rolleyes: You’re just not very much fun at all. Maybe it’s because you don’t feel well, due to your injury. My poor buddy was being a real dick a few days before he got sick. None of us could understand it until we found out he had a serious illness that he almost died from. He’s still in the ICU, but doing much better./hijack I recommend narcotic pain relievers. They will make you feel better and they have a way of lightening the spirit a bit. ---

I am a straight male who, personally, does not find breast implants attractive at all. Natural all the way for me. _But that’s a personal preference._ It’s simply because, when I see augmented breasts (and yes, it’s obvious, at least to me), I can’t help but think of the surgery. I think of the scalpel cutting through soft skin, the flesh separated to make room for the saline bag, the whole works. I do not find surgery at all sensual or erotic. Hence, for my own taste, because of the association, I cannot find enhanced breasts attractive. But note that key phrase: _for my own taste._ I would not dream of making a value judgement about the character of a woman who chooses to have this done. I don’t know what motivates her. Self-esteem problems? Possibly. Reconstruction following a mastectomy? Possibly. I don’t know, and so I can’t have an opinion. And I certainly wouldn’t call such a woman “deformed.” There’s a big difference between that and what I said, about personal preferences in what one considers attractive. **MissBungle** , you’re way out of line. In deference to **Czarcasm** ’s request, that’s all I’ll say unless this winds up in the Pit. ---

Indygrrl, you’re right. I don’t reckon I’m much fun at all now… but more due to cabin fever and boredom. Btw, you’re pipin hot. Cervaise? Way outta line, you say? is that all? Ima try harder. ---
