    Haha, its nice to see little people  fit into major roles in our society.  Obviously also in game of thrones. 
    But then again, little people were always very common in the entertainment industry, i guess nothing changed much.  They probably still get laughed upon in school, growing up..  Having a hard time getting a respectable  job...  (lawyer, doctor.... Well i guess physically it's hard to be a doctor.) 
    Well they are handicapped in a way, so only the arts department is really there for them, maybe they are lucky, following arts in life is not an easy choice, but it's easier if all the other options are closed. 
    /end self debate.

    Basically clicking away text windows ruins every MMO, try to have fun instead of rushing things. Without story and lore all there is left is a bunch of mechanics.

    I don't understand this.  Why can' a little person be a doctor or lawyer?  If you mean a medical doctor.  I can't understand why they couldn't.  With all the new tech and the Da Vinci medical machine, physical size is arbitrary.  Not sure why you believe they couldn't be a lawyer though.  I think you might want to actually meet some little people.  They really are no different from regular people and are not limited to side show acts and playing christmas elves at the mall.

    Baker, who stood only 3-foot-8 and was not expected to live past his puberty, began his show business career in theater and the circus. He shot to international name recognition with Star Wars in 1977. Director George Lucas hired him because his stature was small enough to fit inside the cylindrical, diminutive droid's chassis.

    R.I.P.

    Well simply  enough because most people wont want a funny midget to represent them.  That's reality.   I meant like a surgeon i guess and such, their arms are too short, and they lack proper balance.  You can say what ever you want, i still see small people mostly in show business only....  So that's reality for you.
