State ordered to buy car for short man....

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.

 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.

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
