Well, in this day and age, no, I agree with what you said.But if I was living in Tally's time, I would have, because that was just normal, like getting your driver's license. I would have wanted to be like everyone else, and since they push you to be, I'd hate how I looked and want to be pretty.
No, I meant if you knew about the lesions in Tallys time. Would you still?
nooo way. exactly for the reason u said. i wouldn't really mind changing how i looked ot be pretty, however i'd want to stay me, to think for myself
lookin great=AWSOME!!!losing control of your brain= not so great. and i liek ym brain the way it is, so.. i'll stay an "Ugly" lol
I wouldn't want it in the first place. I mean, what if I like me? What if I liked my hair and such? All I want to change is my skin! PLUS YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OVER WHAT THEY GIVE YOU!
exactly! I'd only want it if I could just change one thing about my that bugged me, and keep everything else the same!!and just like they said from that twilight zone episode...if everyone is pretty, really no one is, because you need ugliness to have prettiness!!
but there are still the uglies...so i guess it counts...
ya, cuz there are Uglies. I'd change things I don't like, but not everything.
No. Absolutaly not. I'd run away to Smoke with Tally, and not let them chance me no matter what.
i probably wouldn't..... I can make myself look how i want to look with lots of time, exercise and make-up. I don't want to be a bubblehead that looks like everyone else.
I can't! Either I don't know how, or my features are impossible! ...or I don't have everything I need. But I don't have the patience any way!
I have the patience for someone ELSE to make me pretty, but not for myself.
Lol! XD I'd be glad to get a makeover from Alice ANY day!! I'd probably look like a prom queen afterwards!! lol. XD
I wouldn't mind a makeover from Alice every once in a while...I would do it more than Bella but less than Alice had in mind. I wish she were real, oh well.
um, back to scott westerfield books people!
Hmmm...it seems that nobody would do it thus far but truly,it wouldn't be so terrible. It's either, pretty, happy, protected, sheltered, no responsibilites/homework/job/etc, a whole in the wall for anything you want, nourished & taken care of...or...ugly, on the run, exposed, in constant danger, scared, jealous, angry, cold, exhausted, and in danger of seeing those you love die.I mean really, it would be soooo dangerous not to be bubble-minded, unless it was after they stopped doing the lesians, obviously then it would be different. I'm not saying I would want to be pretty, frankly i don't know what i'd want, I mean, I'd like to believe i'd be brave like Tally-wa and Shay-la but who knows?

I am pretty sure I would move to Diego... everything seemed so much more... adventurous.
Mod
id want to be pretty, but id hate to b dumb u know?
i totally would turn pretty. i'd be convinced that i could over come it like tally did. of course, i'd probably just end up a bubblehead.
It depends...I have two sides to this. If I didn't have a David, and ugly was very ugly. I'd defintely want to be pretty. So.. IDK!!! But, If I had a David, I wouldn't want to be pretty. But since I probably wouldn't have a David, probably yes....
I'd definitely write a letter to myself though, telling me what life is supposed to be like, so I might be less dumb, like Tally...sorta...
I wouldn't have. I cherish being able to think for myself, and I wouldn't want to be a bubblehead!
What about you?
