Remember reading this as a kid and it's very true, a great personality can override most physical deficiencies.
And the opposite is true as so many 'hot and sexy' women are an advertisement for celibacy with their personalities.
I used to know a girl with Down's.
She was really fat, but you could never call her ugly, because she was always smiling.
I always felt sorry for her. Genetic disorders suck, man.
Knew a girl who while being fat had a very beautiful face. She wasn't a bitch but she was a bit special, didn't help that she was the best friend of the girl I was into and maybe was just a bit protective but overall a nice girl in her own right.
The other day i went to the bowling alley and the special ed league was finishing up.
I saw a downie take the plastic topper and straw off his glass when he returned it to the bar and threw it away. 100% pure goodness from that downie.
I never feel sorry for people with Downs, they always look like they’re having the time of their lives.
