I mean?.I think now Im looking at this movie and asking, are they taking the ?piss? out of persons like him??..I know they are known as ?dwarves?, but even when I say that or tink that I feel bad, I feel it?s a terrible ?label? for them??ya know?????

My mum says??But these pple know what they are doing, if they weren?t happy, they wouldn?t be in it? ? and Im well aware some movies may need ?small? pple (sorry, sorry, I just hate sayin dwarf, I feel like Im victimisin them

?.if I offend anyone here, Im really?.really sorry?..
 
Aw-I know just what you're saying hon-even though it is his choice, and he's making *I hope* a nice amount of money to do it, it makes me uncomfortable too. His name is Verne Troyer

I'll never forget being on a school bus and some kids yelling out and making fun of a 'little person'(I hope it's OK to use this terminology, though some don't care for this either)-it made me so
