"My brother said that short is short; my claims of long-limbedness do nothing to alter the facts, which are that I am "height challenged." Being shorter than normal is nothing compared to having a lower than normal IQ. 100 is normal. People with a 100 IQ cannot be doctors. For every person with a 120 IQ there are that many with a 80 IQ. That makes life tough. Alexis, would you prefer to be tall and have a below normal IQ?<br /><br />Women interviewed said that height to them was very important. I am 5'4.5" and height has never been an issue to me. I was in Junior High for 7th and 8th grade and the most important thing in my life was the the most beautiful girl in the whole school liked me. At that age people said that I looked like President JFK, referring to face not height.<br /><br />Kim Kardashian is 5'2". Do people say that she would look good if she was not so short?" Mother Teresa was only 5 " but won the Nobel prize for peace. Mahtama Gandhi was 5'5". Mahatma means "great soul" not "tall one."Tom Cruise is 5'7". Robert Downey Jr. is 5'9" but he has 3 Iron Man movies and 2 Avengers movies. I read his co-stars made fun of him since Captain America (actor) is 6' and Thor is 6'3".<br /><br />At age 16 I fought in the Northeast United States Regional Karate Championships in the junior division for everyone under 18. I came in second. I was fast.<br /><br />At age 17, I was in high school and was a volunteer in a hospital. But I never saw patients. I was the only volunteer there that worked in the bacteriology lab developing the PAP smear slides to see if women had cancer. During the summer I did this volunteer work almost 40 hours a week and it is normally done by the lab technicians working there. It is much better to have luck than to be tall.Chuck Bluesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291807414895185920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-70838313284773631452015-05-10T07:02:53.062-07:002015-05-10T07:02:53.062-07:00If you want to go by average heights, whites are t...If you want to go by average heights, whites are taller than Mexicans, but blacks are taller than whites. So does that mean that blacks are better than whites?Chuck Bluesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291807414895185920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6485729541580426717.post-26197292206431167492015-05-10T06:57:20.197-07:002015-05-10T06:57:20.197-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Chuck Bluesteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291807414895185920noreply@blogger.com
