He probably has a horrible life. Give him a car I say.
-
Insanity.

You see midgets once a month or more in NYC, and I've never once seen anyone ridicule them. I'm sorry if this guy is genuinely disturbed that he's short, but thousands of others are in the same condition and are not entitled to a free car.
If the people of Norway are making his life so horrendous, he should move to NYC or something.

Why can't he just take the short bus with the other special kids? :D
-
How will he see over the steering wheel and reach the pedals at the same time?
-
Gotta give a big "who cares?" to this one. Some runt in Norway got a car in exchange for being 4'2".

for **** sake...he's not a midget. There are women shorter than him. what a whinner. if he can drive he can use public transit as well.
maybe as a condition for getting the car, they should send him toa circus and call him the gigantic midget or something :lol
-
I say give him some stilts and a long pair of pants.
-
Well at least it's not my tax dollars at play.

In the olden days this would not have been a problem. I am of course talking of those days years and years ago in the 1970s. Historians have reported it was common for women and men to wear raised footware known colloquially as platform shoes. Fancy that.
-
I think he has a Napoleon complex.
Nothing that a little bullying won't cure.

I get so tierd of listening to short people whine. I worked with a guy (off and on) for almost 10 years who was about 4'9". every thing that went wrong in his life was blamed on people treating him badly due to his size.
it got so bad that you'd have to give him a hard time just to maintain your sanity.
everyone has plusses and minusus due to whatever size they are dealt. get over it.
when I was a kid (4-6 yrs) I wanted to be a jockey. I was great with horses, even at that age and by the time I was in my early teens I would break horses for spare cash. but when I started closing in on 6' tall and my weight went over 200 it became fairly obviuse that I wouldn't be competeing as a jockey. I got over it.
every time I stay in a hotel I find the shower nossle comes out somewhere between shoulder and mid-chest, making it a real pain to wash my hair. I didn't form a coalition or a suport group, I got over it.
if someone wrongs you you have a right to some sort of compensation. but when life just doesn't work out how you wanted, through no malice from another then get over it and move on.
-
Bull****.
Life's not fair, get used to it. Mental anguish is not the state's responsibility.
-
What about TALL people?

capt. apathy: but when I started closing in on 6' tall and my weight went over 200 it became fairly obviuse that I wouldn't be competeing as a jockey. I got over it.
Have you considered visiting India? They have elephant races there. :D

Life's not fair, Tarmac, true - but it sooks like you and me should get used to it. What proportion of your taxes already goes towards welfare payments for people who would not accept a job that immigrants risk their lives for, trying to get here.
Right this minute the unnatural medical technology developed on tax money (since no private business would invest in its development) saves lives to people who will live their lives disabled with horrendous disabilities and guess who is going to pay for it all?

I need to do the same thing...
first of all, I'm sooo afraid of catching whatever diseases the other passengers might have, when they just can't stay at home when being sick.
secondly, in busses the seats might be so close to each other that my knees are touching the backrest of next seat, while sitting completely at the back of seat.
Thats way way too short space and I can't be required to stand half an hour on a bus every time!

I'm in traffic one day in the DFW metroplex and this guy on a chopper pulls along side. I'm in a Honda Accord and I'm looking down at this "reduced scale" motorcycle that was obviously custom-built for for his height. The seat-to-ground distance musta been about 24 inches, small diameter wheels, everything. I thought he had a good idea all in all. Too bad I didn't have a camera...

Yeah, I know that state-mandated reallocation of resources is sometimes necessary (or desireable) to accomplish things that the private sector won't.
But paying for a short guy to have a custom car because he won't take the bus? Not with my tax dollars -- if I had my way, that is.
There's a line; that crosses the one drawn by my common sense.

One word
BULLCHIT!!

Out of high school I tried to join the Canadian Air Force but they told me I was too tall. Perhaps I should take them to court and make them buy me a plane so I can get over the anguish I suffered.

People can be cruel. I can remember like it was yesterday the first day of basketball practice when the guys realized that my **** was over 12 inches long and had to be taped to my *****. The humiliation was terrible.

The dude needs some 70's style pimp platforms the chicks dig that.:)

Hey MT,
Your nose being 12" long and having to be taped to your forehead would definitely qualify as humiliation :)
