There are people who will find a way to be offended even if one doesn't actually exist. The fact of the matter is that someone is making a living by administering the "Little People of America" and they are justifying their position with actions like this. Doesn't joing or contributing to a group like this differentiate you from general society just as much as a label like midget or dwarf? There's a lawyer here in Houston who is one of the most respected attorneys in the legal community, and he never let his dwarfism get in his way. He's not worried about labels. He just takes care of business. Somehow, I don't think he's contributing to the "Little People of America".

Oh for Christ's sake, let's just all commit suicide so nobody is offended. What a f---ing mess this society has become. I'm gonna say ANY damn thing I please. If you or anybody out there doesn't like it, just go to hell. There I said it !!! Damn !!!

Yep because "little people" is so much better, get the hell over it, you wanted attention well now youre getting it. We may as well get rid of every other descriptive word that might touch people in a bad spot. Damn, get over yourselves.
