The question assumes that you can't be beautiful and smart or ugly and dumb.

it doesnt.
lets say you have to choose only between those 2 options.
of course beautiful and smart is the best and ugly and dumb is the worst.
but what about the other 2 options?

"fucked" alone also works ok.

― shoe me, Saturday, 1 April 2006 01:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Hmmm, "Fucked and Confused" eh?

i would rather be beautiful and dumb because:

#1. i wouldn't know what i was missing
#2. i would be beautiful

depends on how smart

I'd be ugly if I could be like total super-genius who could penetrate the mysteries of physics 'n' shit, but I wouldn't trade my boyish good looks for the ability to do long division

"I'd be ugly if I could be like total super-genius who could penetrate the mysteries of physics "

but this is the only thing you will be penetrating...isn't that a shame?

― coridos, Saturday, 1 April 2006 02:03 (eighteen years ago) link

I'd take lucky and interesting over smart and beautiful.

fortunately real life does not present us with these neat calvinist dichotomies.

― yuk, Saturday, 1 April 2006 04:05 (eighteen years ago) link

yes, the dichotomy doesn't become apparent till the afterlife

Well when you consider babies, you can't be born smart OR beautiful, so really now, this dog won't hunt.

(Yes, go on, tell me all babies are beautiful and I'm mad).

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 1 April 2006 07:12 (eighteen years ago) link

looks fade, plus most beautiful people don't know how to make the most of their looks while they have them.

(Throw Your) Pearls At Swine
He:
Write it on a sheet of armour
Wrap it round your heart
She:
If only I'd been born beautiful
Instead of smart
He:
They can give you what you want
But never what you need
She:
Is this pity if it hurts you
So much so see me bleed

Chorus:
And all the things you thought were so important didn't matter anyway
The things you need you found you threw away (x2)

A beatiful lady once told George Brenard Show they need to have babies:they will be perfect with my face and yr brain.
Show:and what will hpeen if they got my face and yr brain?

I think it would be better to be born beautiful and to grow smart as you get older.

― Abbadavid Berman (Hurting), Saturday, 1 April 2006 18:34 (eighteen years ago) link

It's better to be beautiful. I'm fairly sure that it would be possible to Prove this by Science.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 1 April 2006 19:35 (eighteen years ago) link

plus brains fade too as you get older! "wisdom" is a con meant to disguise the simple accumulation of wealth over time; just look at politicians and crotchety old folks.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 1 April 2006 19:43 (eighteen years ago) link

it is to be born lohan

― account settings (account), Saturday, 1 April 2006 19:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't really mean that about wisdom, but brains do go too.

― Dan I. (Dan I.), Saturday, 1 April 2006 21:05 (eighteen years ago) link

I want to be nice to look at; that is all I want.

― Lara (Lara), Saturday, 1 April 2006 23:31 (eighteen years ago) link

most beautiful people don't know how to make the most of their looks while they have them.

A lot of smart people don't make the most of their intelligence either.

i red somewhere that beatiful people get more mental problems than ugly ones, cause of the high expectations society demends from them.
they commite suicide more than ugly ones, if i can remember correctly john cleese's observations, in the tv show he made about peutiful people.
