Isn't this just a modern version of foot binding?? Those Japanese have a skewed image of beautiful..
Monday 6/17/02 - 11:18:43 PM

Monday 6/17/02 - 11:19:07 PM

Monday 6/17/02 - 11:19:28 PM
Good things come in small packages I'll just stay short thankyou very much

I wouldn't like to be taller...I don't mind the inconvienence...I just get boys to get stuff down from shelves for me! (hey they have to be good for something!)

I'd certainly be a better ballplayer.
Tuesday 6/18/02 - 1:29:22 AM
I hate being 5'8". I'm the shortest out of all my friends!
Tuesday 6/18/02 - 1:37:58 AM
I wish I was a little bit taller. I wish I was a baller...

^ that song is funny! I like how tall I am now.
Thursday 6/20/02 - 6:42:36 PM
I'm tall enough!
Thursday 6/20/02 - 6:52:19 PM
Warrick, you're a loser - I tower over you at 5'8.5" !!!
Thursday 6/20/02 - 8:01:55 PM
i thnik 5'7 is a good enough height.. if i wana taller.. well guys would just be shorter and that isnt good
Thursday 6/20/02 - 8:03:05 PM
No, Im happy being short.
Thursday 6/20/02 - 8:15:48 PM
Tall people live longer and have higher incomes and better jobs than short people. That's been scientifically proven. I'm 5' 7 1/2" tall. I'd like to be 5 or 6 inches taller but no way would I go through what some Japanese people are doing. I think that's crazy. Mind you, if I was EXTREMELY short, I'd seriously consider that kind of surgery.

I'm six foot. If I was taller my lif would be much worse. My uncle is six four and has a bad back becasue of how tall he is. i wouldn't want to o though that. That prrocedure is also being used on "little people" I was watching a documenrtary on them(which proves that I have a very boring life) and they sould this as a possibility to adapting better to the big world. However many little people feel this is wrong because it is tring to change the way that they were created. Which I agree with but if I was that short I'm shalow enough to probbabbly have the surgery if I did not have to feel the pain. The surgery looks extremly pain full but I'm sure they give you a crap load of pain killers for it

i wouldn't undergo surgery to get taller, but it might be a bit better to be taller - I'm real small
Friday 7/5/02 - 1:05:01 PM
I'm 5'9", I'm tall enough.
Friday 7/5/02 - 1:12:52 PM
I'm tall enough. 5'9 aswell.
Friday 7/5/02 - 1:48:16 PM
Maybe it wouldn't be better, but I'm sick of being 5'4. It's too short, dammit!
Friday 7/5/02 - 1:51:43 PM
i'm almost 14 and i'm bout 5'7 and i think i'm still growing. i wouldnt mind being 6 feet tall all my life
Friday 7/12/02 - 4:37:42 AM
No, I really do NOT need to be any taller than I am already! I'm 5'9" and way taller than most of my friends
Friday 7/12/02 - 9:37:50 AM
Shorter people use up less of the world's resources. As world population grows, you'd think that there would be a preference for shorter.
Friday 7/12/02 - 9:49:15 AM
no way! I am 6'1" right now, and it is hell trying to find clothes that fit me right. I have knee and hip problems. I wish I was *shorter*. THAT would make my life better. As for the japanese people... better marriage prospects?? I didn't have a boyfriend until I was in college. I was "too tall".
Friday 7/12/02 - 9:49:48 AM
How do short people use up less of the worlds resources? Sorry, but I am confused.
Friday 7/12/02 - 9:51:39 AM
nope . . i'm tall enough. i already have trouble with the height of most all shower heads. Doesn't anyone over 6 feet install these things ??????
