I heard this happens in Colombia Many people are forced to do plastic surgery to be able to find a job if they are not good looking, regardless their skills. Well, I know that plastic surgery is well spread in Latin America... Raise your hands if you know about this and why don't people fight against this?

My alma mater city, Santa Cruz, has an anti-discrimination based upon appearance ban. I am all for that and think superficiality is bad for business. Good workers come in all shapes, sizes, and styles.

So true. Nobody should be forced to get plastic surgery to get a job, it's their ability to do the job that should matter most. And no, I didn't know about this until now.

It is a very strange reality indeed. Unhuman I'd say.

druidess6308: I agree, Cris.
Perhaps on the one hand, nobody cares because rich people are usually rich and when they are ugly, they don't mind fixing it? On the other hand, poor people are normally uneducated to understand that they can fight for a change?

People are animals. Only a great political system stop people from doing worse. I'm starting to think that people take ages to develop. Politics are ahead of the people. It's more utopic. We follow politics and not really the other way around.

That can be true if you are overweight as well. I don't remember where I read it but the "beautiful people" usually get promoted before the rest of us. Physical attractiveness is a very powerful thing.

Never heard of this until I read this thread topic but I do know one thing for certain that I wouldn't want to work for a company of any kind who had that requirement.

I wouldn't want to live in such country!
Anyway, some love competition, no matter if it's dishonest. It reminds me of those love to fight their husbands mistresses instead of doing him!
