On his radio show Friday, Dennis Prager got a call from a woman asking: “I was calling to get your opinion of breast augmentation?”
Dennis: “Here’s my question for a mature woman, not a high school girl: Why would there be a reason not to?”
Mary: “I guess the opinions of other people thinking you’re being vain?”
Dennis: “What does being vain mean?”
Mary: “That you are more concerned with your outward appearance than what you are inwardly?”
Dennis: “That’s weird.”
“If you shampoo and do your hair, are you not concerned with other people?”
“I don’t know a good argument against a mature woman getting breast augmentation unless she has beautiful breasts.”
Mary: “What about people who say, ‘You should just be happy with what God gave you’?”
Dennis: “I think it is one of the ten stupidest lines I’ve heard in my life.”
“What if God gave you essentially no breasts?”
Mary: “That’s pretty much what I’ve got.”
Dennis: “What if you’re born deaf?”
“I would ask somebody, ‘Why would God want to handicap me in attracting men?'”
“I think you care more about others if you do want to look good. Why should you brush your teeth as often or use mouthwash or deodorant? What does vain mean? Does it mean you care how you look? If so, I’m vain. I care how I look.”
“Exactly how you came out is how God made you and you should do no alteration? What about Siamese twins? Did God make them Siamese twins? Did God make people deaf? Did God make people with all sorts of impediments? It is an insult to God to say that the way you came out of the womb is what God wants. Did God make you a brunette?”
