A man in China sued his ex-wife for being ugly after learning she had spent $100,000 on plastic surgery without telling him. The judge awarded the ex-husband $120,000. While looks may matter more in Chinese culture, where women are seen as trophies for men, love should be based on more than just physical attraction. Having plastic surgery does not make the ex-wife a hypocrite for valuing beauty, as looking good is now common due to the influence of plastic surgery.

Zapped by the Utility: What if other industries could shock consumers like el...John Farrell
Utilities have suggested that because they have high fixed costs, they should have high fixed fees. But few other industries work this way, because of the wrong incentives it creates (see #1). The post office encourages efficient use of the mail system by charging per letter based on weight, not per customer, a policy that would make little distinction between Grandma Josie sending a birthday card to her grandson or Netflix mailing 100,000 DVDs. Starbucks charges more based on the complexity of the beverage, not $5 to enter the store. Both of these businesses have high fixed costs for employees, premises, and equipment. High fixed charges would create an unfair shift in costs to occasional users, who incur minimal costs.

To stop racism, jealousy and untamed emotions! Get it together world. We need to create change and give love instead of indifference. Change your heart!
Try to keep things a certain way is something that is incredibly dangerous in many respects. It is generally the people who challenge convention, who really make an impression.
The political climate of today is different from what it used to be. The Presidential contenders of previous elections would debate fiercely on their own position, but then go out for a drink after their time was up. Respect was expected, and deserved, and given. America’s issues were shared by all citizens. Whoever spoke against integrity, honesty, empathy, and good moral values like these were looked down upon, and thought to be the outliers of American Society. But now, people who don’t hold these values are looked up to, are tolerated, and are gaining support everyday. Discrimination based on race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, mental handicap, and other attributes are now more public than ever, and aren’t questioned. We are divided based on the differences we see in other people. It’s not much different from America’s deadly past that most people think we’ve moved on from. But the truth is, we haven’t moved on at all. Things have only gotten worse.
1. Sued for being ugly? Do looks really matter?
Has the world actually gone mad?
When I read the story about a man suing his ex-wife for being ugly I had to delve
deeper. Basically after having a daughter with his wife, Jian Feng accused his wife
of cheating, as the child was so ugly it didn’t look like them. After all the false
accusations of her cheating, she decided to come clean and tell him that their
daughter looked nothing like them because she had spent over $100,000 on
plastic surgery to improve her looks. Only it seems she didn’t let her husband
know about her little makeover. It comes to something when a male judge
awards an ex husband $120,000 because he got married to a liar.
Are we that stuck on the idea of beauty?
That a woman got divorced because she was deemed ugly and a fake?
It’s that old chestnut of do looks really matter?
They obviously mattered to Jian Feng who felt cheated on by his now ex-wife.
I’ve been told that it’s a different world in China; men’s wives and daughters are
seen as trophies for them to parade around and gain social acclaim.
Is that really any excuse though?
I’d like to think that I’ve got something about me conversation wise and my
relationship would not hang on the basis of my face collapsing into itself. Love
should be based on not just attraction but mutual interests. It sure says a lot
about him if the thought of his wife having a bit of a monobrow in the past put
him off for life; I mean she looks good now so where is the issue?
In a society plagued by plastic surgery, it is now the done thing to improve your
looks; you can’t even tell anymore if someone has had work done. I wouldn’t
have work done myself but I can see (without being horrible) why she chose to
have procedures. I suppose she is being a hypocrite because looks obviously
matter to her also for her to go to those lengths to feel beautiful. Deep down
everyone knows that looks matter, it sounds shallow but judging a book by the
front cover is something people do subconsciously whether they want to or not;
our brains are just programmed that way.
