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.

Please If we get politically correct then Short people are Height Challanged. 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"

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!

One advantage with short people, you only need low walls to put them against.

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 agree with the first posting... 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...

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 not our fault your lack of height makes you feel inadequate. It's something you need to get over (Pardon the pun)smiley - erm

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.

The campaign aganst tall people is doomed, DOOMED I say, why you ask, well because I am 6'2" and everyone on the commitie for equal hights stands taller then me. smiley - smiley but not to worry, my new goverment will allow elevator shoes and pinstripe suits as a tax write-off.
