Reply #5: I dislike this sort of post

that implies that people's physical attractiveness is a reflection of their value as a person, or that the ugliness finally "seeped out of them" while they were terminally ill.

There was a post some people read recently about my dad having a heart attack 2 days before the election, and coming out of it 10 days later - and one of the first things he wanted to know was "who won".

Hypothetically speaking, if he is deformed or bloated and such from his medical issues, if he can't fully control a side of his face after this ... is it fair to say that's due to "ugliness seeping out of him"?

There are an awful lot of people on this board who have dealt with people who were critically ill. Can you understand why posts like yours, with the photos to demonstrate how "ugliness takes over a sick person's entire body" might be hard to stomach or leave people speechless about how insensitive that is?
