This is the Conversation Forum for Talking Point: When the Revolution Comes... << The thinning of the American Herd Tailgaters >> Subject: Tall people Posted Feb 19, 2003 by Jessie, queen of the strange - Nirvana rocks my socks!   Posting 1 Anyone over 6 ft. should have their heads chopped off. I hate tall people. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Tall people Posted Feb 19, 2003 by Felonious Monk: Piano Thief This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 2 I thought it was Short People got No Reason to Live (according to Randy Newman anyway)? Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Tall people Posted Feb 20, 2003 by Researcher 217178 This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 3 Having read all the comments I have only this to say: It is not by ritual beheadings or torture but only through tolerance and understanding of all of these obnoxious and hateful people that we can hope to rise above the worlds petty in-fighting and live together on this small very precious planet. Except tall people obviously.....they must be erradicated for the good of the collective.

If thats the case then Tall People are Height Advantaged. Speaking as a height advantaged person then I think that short Sorry Height Disadvantaged people should be first against the wall and the first law passed would be "Any designer creating an object that lies below 7Ft in such a way to sause damage to the cranial area of a Height Advantaged Person will be forced to watch soaps 20 hours a day" I'm not a cruel person Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Tall people Posted Feb 20, 2003 by Mat Lindsay (the researcher formerly known as Nylarthotep...now he has a name, all he needs is a face) This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 5 Here here, standing at 6 feet and three inches I commend people who stand up against the global conspiracy to make tall people bang their heads and crane their necks. Tall and shorter can exist in harmony. My partner is just over five feet tall and she has no problem with tall folks. Learn to live and let live, thou bitter short-arse!

They really look up to us.

Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Tall people Posted Feb 24, 2003 by raindog This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 8 I used to have problems with short people when I was younger and we all had at least the same hair. Now I'm getting to late 30's and,like still 6'2'', half of them my age are receding as well-they emanate waves of hatred. For these reasons they must go. Something like the McDonalds height Chart-'if you are below this height and fully grown you cannot use the equipment and have no reason bothering the rest of us normal people'. Then either a choice of Munchkin Reservations, tastefully sited in, say, for the purpose of example, Mid-Wales, or like in Soylent Green, a quick lethal dose of goodies but this time in front of a fairground mirror that would make them appear normal. Maybe start rounding up the 5'9'' and under males March 1st? This is for their (your) own good- you'll just go through the rest of your lives bitter and sad and yearning, all that pain; it's better this way.

I mean for exempel, when you are on a movie, and the person sitting inhead of you are tall... You see nothing that person don´t want you to see... Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Tall people Posted Feb 25, 2003 by Jessie, queen of the strange - Nirvana rocks my socks! This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 10 Exactly! And tall people have no right to go around making the rest of us feel inadequate. Ever stood next to a really tall person (upwards of 6'2" or so) and had to crane your neck awkwardly? It really, really sucks.

It's something you need to get over (Pardon the pun) Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Tall people Posted Feb 25, 2003 by Jessie, queen of the strange - Nirvana rocks my socks! This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 12 Of course it's your fault! What, you expect me to go around blaming *myself*?

I'll need my legs amputating! Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Tall people Posted Feb 25, 2003 by Child of Saunola This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 14 I hate when I have to look up to people, just because I´m not as tall as they are Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Tall people Posted Feb 25, 2003 by raindog This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 15 Another way of annoying the Munchkin populace if you are a hefty type like me is to suggest a race- you lose 3 stone, they grow 4 inches taller-winner takes all. If you can add "and your fringe back" more the merrier. The best thing to do if you have a craned neck from standing close to a tall person is to observe this general rule of thumb: "I will stand a respectful distance (here I suggest five feet) from the tall person, the better to allow them the sense of superiority they so obviously deserve" Try writing it down on a card until it is memorised....Thank You for you assistance.
