Discrimination--Weight/Age/Hotness/NotSoHotness ???

Wow. Great discussion folks. That is all I was looking for. I was so shocked by the original girl's mean attack when I pointed out that in the world we live in, there is a lot of bias (better word than discrimination) especially toward overweight folks. I figured most of us fit in that category--either now or before. I thought it would be good 'therapy" to 'vent'.
I enjoyed hearing about how there is also bias against the young for 'being perceived as too young, therefore not educated enough or worldly enough." That's a different take that I respect and can understand. Because "life isn't fair and equal". But hopefully, good discussion without calling people ugly, etc., raises our own empathy to others. I guess that is all we can ask for.
And thanks everyone for being polite and informative.0
