Nose job.
I also have a deviated septum so the surgery will help me breath as well as just making it look better.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Let me put this as simply as I can. If the majority of Americans are not pleased with the way things are going, they should get off their asses and do something about it. There's not much more to it than that.
Do you live in such a country where the government is similar to the US? If the answer is no, then you could not possibly understand how things are in this country. Until you can say that you have had first hand experience in dealing with politicians who lie just to get elected, then you are absolutely ignorant of what it is that happens here in this country.
I DO vote. That doesn't mean that the person I voted for is going to get elected. So if the opponent gets elected, none of the changes my candidate wanted, will happen. None of the things that should take place, will, so your argument is crap.

Post a close up of your nose. I want to see what the problem is.

Here's a side shot. It looks fine from the front. I broke it when I was little.

You didn't address my argument in any way, so I'm not going to play into your hands here. First address my actual argument, and then we can talk.

Well, I can’t really see your nose, but your whole face taken as one impression, is lovely.
Me, I have perhaps more nose than is actually necessary for the purpose of respiration, but when I was one and twenty, a guy told me I have a sexy nose. That changed my life. I was born again.
Good luck improving perfection. 
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

You can either do something with the little control and knowledge you do have or whine about it. You'll never have much power or knowledge, unless you become a dictator, so get that out of your head.
All you can really do to make a change is help spread rational thinking so that your fellow citizens might make better decisions and so that you'll eventually live in a better society.
