If two ugly people produce children..does it sort of cancel the ugliness out..and mean that they will produce an attractive child? Kind of like..two negatives multiplied equals a positive? Please describe applicable experiences.

Children will inherit characteristics from their parents. The children will get their parent's eyes, pattern baldness, high cholesterol, history of heart disease, or whatever. It's a mix and match with the DNA pairing. But if you want attractive kids, it helps to have attractive parents but does not guarantee attractive kids.
Humans breed dogs for appearance, horses for speed, cows for meat, tomatoes for a tougher skin... you get the idea.

Genetics are tricky. A lot of times two ugly people have a beautiful child, and vice versa. But there are so many factors that are involved, and a lot of chance. I had a friend that was beautiful, but her parents were ugly and her two sisters were ugly. So maybe the probability is a lot lower for two ugly people to have a beautiful child.

uhm... there's no ugly gene, so it's not like you can multiply to get a "positive". The child may get many of the traits from their parent, but still look "attractive". It's just chance of how the child turns out.
And it's not like two attractive people are necissarily going to make an attractive child.

haha, thats a funny theory. I'm gonna hafto use that. But so far, i mean, if you look at like your second cousins, you know the ones who come over for the Family Reunion, the ones that their names all end in -Bob...their ALL purty much dog ugly, except like one really pretty blond hair, blue eyes tall thin model almost kind of a girl. the one you probly end up marrying. but other than that, I see only simple math.....*starts talking like the Count* One Ugly person plus One Ugly person equals Two ugly persons Ah Ah Ah.

Two wrongs do not make a right. Ugly people produce little ugly people, therefore should not be allowed to reproduce!

I knew this man who was the UGLIEST person i'd ever seen (and an a**hole to boot), then I met his wife, and nothing against her but she was just as bad. To be honest I was scared to meet their 3 kids, but when I did they were the most gorgeous kids I'd EVER seen... So I know for a FACT ugly people can have beautiful kids, so yes, I have hope... :)

This is a matter of genetics that only a professional can answer. The technical points will not be available to you here with the level of intelligence I've come to experience here.
But I can tell you what they'll say. "Hmmmmm....it may or may not be possible".
Figure that one out.

Your definition of ugly is what? Ya, see there you kinda made yourself look silly. In the future you should refrain from asking such questions if you want to taken seriously at all.

What's ugly to one person, may not be ugly to another. Who's to say they aren't beautiful and the person judging them is the one that's ugly?
