you do relise this is after hours dont you ? :pac: your on the wrong forum

i agree with this

also i wasnt replying to the OP's post haha
if you had half a brain which i hope most small people do you'd see i never quoted the OP's post
ive been quoting yours all along :L

*awaits gozunda's rant*

For the benefit of yourself and your sidekick I measure in at 5.11. In this country that is above height for your information

However I do have a child that has a growth disorder so I find your puerile and inane comments pathetic at best

I was commenting the OPs topic - if you can't make any useful contributions may I suggest you keep up the day jobs as your career in comedy is doomed to failure

Hope that is enough of a 'rant' for you...

Why do you think it not legal?

I guess I'm mistaking it for other procedures.
I still seems very risky for people who don't "need" it though.

Right. Canis Lupus, gozunda and saiint - cop on and play nice or cards and bans will ensue.

Im not reading 12 pages worth so this has probably been said but if there's a chap who wants to purposely, deliberately and voluntary present his two pristine and functional limbs to be sliced open, broken and have a foreign objects bolted into them before months of pain and rehab and possible diminished movement just to satisfy some warped sense of vanity, then he needs the finest kind of slap that will rattle his brain and sting for a week, preferably delivered by an amputee or arthritis sufferer who would sell their soul to have legs like his.

And to get some quack in India to perform it was well. At least when the gangrene gets him he's assured of a Darwin award.

I'm 5'7 and would never get this done

Yeh you always get the same oul slags like "short arse", "midget" or "Come here ya lil shíte ya", but at the end of the day they are all funny insults! I laugh along with them, lifes too short to be worrying about height issues.

I would not go through the bother of a painful operation like this, plus you'd look a bigger eejit coming back a few inches taller...

Although below average height for an Irish male, you don't qualify as short according to the definition in this journal article, which states:

We consider that an adult has a short stature when their height is at least inferior to two standard deviations.

Taking figures from this rugby thread, the average male height is 177.5cm. Subtracting two standard deviations (2x6.3cm= 12.6cm), we are left with 164.9cm.

Using those figures, an Irishman is not short unless he is less than 5'5''.

All of this is based on the opinion of the authors of course, but I think that it's useful to put things in context.

this is after hours
dont come here looking for sympaty cause you wont get any from me

My daughter does not need your 'sympathy'. What is required is that all people are treated with basic respect and dignity. Making derogatory comments about physical characteristics is pathetic imo.

your 5ft 11? and your ranting about tall people

Yes indeed. why what height are you? There was no rant about 'tall people"' so please reread. My previous post points out the problem with the abuse and discrimination directed against those of less than average height but could well cover all such discrimination. . I may be of over average height however I feel no need to be derogatory towards those that may not be. I am interested why you feel the need to do so?

will you cop on:rolleyes: its hard to believe you have a kid cause you act like one :pac: usefull contributions? again its afterhours

Yes After Hours is for banter imo not personal insults or abuse of those of less than average height. There is a difference between humour and abuse btw.

insane comments? your pathetic mate seriouslyyou really need to grow up ( thats not a pun ) you really need to get a grip on life pal

Btw the word is "inane" - look it up. As said previously the comic asides don't really amount to anything.

In order to fight for your daughter's rights, you go on the internet to scold anonymous posters who are gossiping and joking about surgery which will not be undergone by a man who may or may not exist?

Eh No don't think so...do actually read my first post on this thread where I posted my own thoughts relative to the OPs topic, These issues are very real whether the person exists or not or whethet bill or bong wish to take the p1ss out of other posters...

Perhaps there is a more productive way in which you could assist your daughter?

More productive than challenging prejudice? - I think not...

My post concerned the OPs topic not my daughters rights or otherwise. The wise cracking kids decided off their own bat to take potshots at this. That is their problem imo not mine.

The question here is whether or not 'confidence' is *correlated* with you finding a particular man to be attractive or whether or not it *causes* you to be attracted to a particular man.

I'm old, fat, and boring - but I'm CONFIDENT AS HELL. Do you want to do me? Probably not.

But the tall, attractive, rich guy at a club....well, of course he's going to be confident, he's tall, attractive and rich.

I've a weird taste in men so it's probably not me you should be asking
Anyway, of course I was being obtuse and playing devil's advocate for the sake of it, but I do think it should be consider whether height is causative of success, or if it is a correlating symptom of successful people (going back to the childhood nutrition thing I mentioned earlier), which then leads it to being used as a visual marker, sure. For example, famous jockeys are known for being financially successful, having gorgeous wives and being incredibly short. Famous film actors would be another group of men on the successful side (both financially and with the opposite sex) and also known for not being particularly tall on average. I still hold that it is success/ self confidence that will lead a person to be attractive, rather than height alone, but that height would be an indicator for a potentially successful person (so yes, being used initially as a visual marker, but if the rest of the criteria don't add up, height alone isn't going to help you much). Ultimately what I'm saying is, a tall egit is going to lose out to an average sized genuine charmer any day.

Put it this way, do you really think you'd immediately get more action and a raise if you were two inches taller? You'd still be you, is what I'm saying.

As for the "would I do ye" comment - it's a bit silly to compare yourself to a rich attractive tall person in a club - while describing yourself as old fat and boring. If it came down to a rich, attractive, tall man, compared to another rich, attractive, slightly less tall man, or even a rich, attractive short man, then it'd depend simply who I liked more, regardless of height.
Bit of a moot point since the "rich attractive man in a club" does absolutely sod all for me - my "fwooooaaar" list includes the like of Jack Nicholson and Christopher Walken, who aren't conventionally attractive but sexy as hell, in my opinion, mostly due to their abundant self-confidence 'tis all about the mojo
