Am.I.a.bad.person?
Is it wrong that I want to see the big guy put the little guy’s head in his mouth?

Just a note, but He Pingping is technically yet to recognized as the world’s shortest man.Still reminds me of the meeting between Josef Boruwlaski and an Irish giant by the name of O’Brien.

Yes ‘they’ are. I was making a comparison between another giant / little person meeting back in the late 1700′s

‘Lala’, repeat after me. Bao Xishun and He Pingping are both [i]Mongolian[/i]. Are you suggesting Mongolia encompasses all of Asia?
There is nothing remarkable in that two ( admittedly very remarkable) people happen to originate from the most populous, culturally diverse, largest land mass in the world.
However -as you clumsily pointed out -yes, they’RE both from the same country and that is slightly interesting.

I’m confused. Mongolia is not part of Asia?
Asia = continent
Mongolia = country
And if they are both from the same country, I smell a conspiracy here!

^You’re right, of course. I became irritated with Lala because, from the tone of her(?) post it sounded as though her opinion was that all ‘asians’ are the same… an attitude of ‘us versus theirm’.
Mongolia is a vastly different country to, say, Sri Lanka or Israel.

As the Tithonus Pednaud Said: Pingping is technically yet to recognized as the world’s shortest. and still dont convence me! i know a African man DEMBO DJassi, 34 years old, and 57 cm. he live’s at small village, and small contry( Guine Bissau)..its dificult for someone poor, without any knowledgeto be reconized…
anyway! I still believe, that has someone somewhere more small than Pingping and even than Dembo Djassi.

For crying out loud, they ARE both Asian. If they’re both Mongolian, they are necessarily both Asian. Poor Lala. Geez. She was just making an observation.
