   I guess little people have to make a living to and if dressing up to look funny is the way you make money then isnt that an easy job.

   If a little person couple has a kid, and it doesn't carry the dwarfism gene, is it then released into the wild to fend for itself after it grows more then 4 1/2 feet tall?

   If the discrimination is so bad that its preferable to be segregated into a community where the main, or only industry is to hold yourself up to the same ridicule you meant to escape, then, no, Fishbottle, I doubt it's an easy job. And since were talkin' 'bout ridiculing lp's, someone should point out "normal size" isn't the appropriate term, you want to say "average" instead.

   Well, travis, if you're going to get nitpicky about terminology, "average" isn't appropriate either. Most people are either taller or shorter than average. Very few people are exactly the "average" height. On the other hand, one of the dictionary definitions of "normal" is "characterized by average development", and as such, "normal" is probably more appropriate than "average".

   Honestly, what are those kids going to say? "Hey, your dad's a midget!" "Yeah? Well your dad's a midget too, so shut the hell up!"

    Am I the only one here that's reminded of "Even Dwarves Started Small" by Werner Hertzog?

    Travis is actually correct. The term, "average" is more acceptable than "normal" in the LP community when describing those who are taller than they are. Thanks for the comment anyway, Craig. For example, my best friend is 4'5", I am 5'4" and my boyfriend is 6'4". Using Craig's logic, only I am of average height. Besides that, I would hate to label my friend as abnormal, which he certainly is not.

    I just wonder what they put on their front lawns.

    I like how this is the way China protects against discrimination just gather a group of similar people in one area and call it a day. Separation does not solve the problem. Another example: while I was abroad, our program took us to a school specifically for children who's parents are convicts. Way to not single out and totally make the children feel accepted in society (*sarcasm*).
