re: How do you feel about midgets reproducing?

So you hate everybody?

That's a bit of a reach. When did I say I hated anybody?

There we go. This is the OT baller in play.

And those girls are not twins. No way in hell unless mama was taking the BBC along with whitie in a 3 way. Then we need pics or GTFO.

Dunno…

I was in the hospital where the daddy was a pale redhead and momma was extra dark chocolate. The kid that came out of her belly was just as pale as daddy and looked nothing like the momma.

I had a midget friend at A&M. Dude studied, drank and partied just like everyone else. Even shagged a few normal sized females.

I see nothing awful about their lives that would make me think midgets should question having kids. Essentially they are just really short (and some have skeletal/joint problems).

Delays in motor skills development, such as sitting up, crawling and walking
Frequent ear infections and risk of hearing loss
Bowing of the legs
Difficulty breathing during sleep (sleep apnea)
Pressure on the spinal cord at the base of the skull
Excess fluid around the brain (hydrocephalus)
Crowded teeth
Progressive severe hunching or swaying of the back with back pain or problems breathing
Narrowing of the channel in the lower spine (spinal stenosis), resulting in pressure on the spinal cord and subsequent pain or numbness in the legs
Arthritis
Weight gain that can further complicate problems with joints and the spine and place pressure on nerves

With proportionate dwarfism, problems in growth and development often result in complications with poorly developed organs. For example, heart problems often present in Turner syndrome can have a significant effect on health. An absence of sexual maturation associated with growth hormone deficiency or Turner syndrome affects both physical development and social functioning.

I for one find it to be incredibly selfish and borderline reprehensible. These people know how hard it is to be a midget and how much it negatively affects their everyday lives. Yet they still get pregnant knowing full well that the baby has a great chance of being born with a debilitating deformity. Why would anyone knowingly do that to a child?

shite, if midgets weren't fricking and having other midget babies, we would have never been able to enjoy the glorious Tyrion Lannister on Game of Thrones. It would just be some fricking kid or short non-midget.

So should women who get married in their 40's not try to have kids because of the increased health risks to the child?

---

No, they shouldn't try to have kids.

Should minorities not reproduce since their children will likely face more oppression and racism towards them?

---

You could make that argument. I'm not.

What you define as a "normal" or "good" life doesn't mean everyone else defines it like you do.

---

Like "normal" lung function? Or a "good" spinal cord?

What do you disagree with ITT?

So long as they can raise them on their own dime to be productive members of society, I don't care at all.

This…

Also in the event of ELE or near ELE the smaller you are the less you need to consume to survive so maybe only the midgets would survive a nuclear winter or something like it.

So in other words, you would be alright sterilizing people you don't deem fit for reproduction.

Women over 40 shouldn't try to have kids. That's not my opinion, it's science. Women shouldn't really be trying to have kids after 33 because of the health risks to the child.
