Yes I think that most of us do as we've been conditioned by the media as to what is attractive and what's not. It could also be instinctive, as often when you meet people for the first time, you might have to decide whether you will be happy to spend more time with them or not. A lot of teachers can tell just by looking at a new class of students, who will be discipline problems and who won't.

Well I think almost everyone firstly judges others by their looks and appereance. That's part of fucked up human nature no matter you want it or not. The best thing you can do is to keep those prejudices as your own thoughts and not to say them aloud. My principle is to live and let the others to live. I don't care what people are if they leave me to live my life in peace and then I will do the same for them. But if they can't do that...they're in big trouble. I can have really sharp and spiteful tongue if people provoke me into using that... In arguments I try to avoid starting to attack other's persona. I might criticize and attack his/her ideas but not the persona unless other does it first. Once in supermarket some obese woman and her two obese kids were behind me in the in the line. Their shopping cart was full of pizzas, beer and coca cola. Then that woman started to insult me being too slow and used racial slur. Then I insulted her about her obesity and kept doing that until she started to cry quietly. I don't think it was right but I don't have the nature to take shit without showeling the shit back to the sender.

yes, i do. sadly. for example, i might see a girl who is overdressed, wearing too much makeup and very stylish clothes, and i immediately think that she's a high-maintenance princess, stuck-up, etc. however, later i find out that she takes just as much care in treating her friends. also, in the USA, there is an obesity epidemic. thinner people see overweight people and feel uncomfortable. they also immediately assume the overweight are lazy; however, most people i know work out and exercise everyday. yes, they are still overweight, but they are trying. and we all know, especially from our discussions here that it's what inside that counts. i think all the diverse sizes, shapes, and colors we are make the world more interesting, don't you? :) diversity is good; "birds of a feather flocking together" = boring.

Almost always
