...are more useful than short people. We can reach things that short people can't, and we often have our productivity interrupted because some shortarse wants us to reach up and get something that they can't get to. And we get neck ache from looking down when we are foced to talk to them.

Anyone lower than 5'7" should pay more tax and those over should pay less. Us six footers should pay none at all.

We also contribute to a much more mellow society as we are generally at peace with ourselves and easy going, whereas the stumpy little people are needlessly aggressive with a massive chip on their shoulders because of their disability.

It needed to be said.

    Seems a bit self-contradictory to me - why bother posting if you're at peace with yourself? Maybe all that height is just an extra big chip on your shoulder

    You also need to look at this

    The fitter, healthier, sportier, longer-living, more environmentally friendly shorter people might just get fed up of subsidising all the lanky, space-wasting ones.

    PS I'm exactly on the average height mark, so I actually consider myself neutral in this debate :)

    Are you sure you are a six footer and not 5' 8" as I can't think of any other reason for your random cut off height of 5' 7" :wink:

    I would also put a ban on small people designing anything, especially seats in trains, buses, planes.

    Tall people are more susceptible to back injuries than shorter people. They're also much more accustomed to hearing ''Can you get that down of the shelf for me?'' Coincidence, I think not.

    Yeah, but you can console yourself by the fact that the designer also hated tired vagrants! :lol:

    Tall people are no better than fat people. Their clothes are bigger, their shoes are bigger, they want bigger beds, more space on planes, bigger bikes, bigger cars, etc. I'm sick of seeing the environment go to ruin because of tall people.

    And they can't dance.

    I'm 6'5" and lean with it, I take having a better view at gigs as compensation for the extra time spent trying to find clothes and shoes that fit well and having fark all leg room on planes.

    One brother 6'3", baby brother 6' me 5'7" I got the short arsed genetics, ah well, unfortunately I didn't make it up with wit, charm or personality either, ho-hum.

    I'm 5'6" and couldn't care less. The only issue seems to be with taller people who constantly have to comment on me being short. I guess they have inadequacies in their lives so feel better by constantly telling people they are short....!
