Taller Men Get Better Education

[Johnboy60]

(AHN) - A study of 950,000 Swedish men reveals taller men get a better education.

The study, to be published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, suggests short people are discriminated against as they are expected to be low achievers, according to researcher Finn Rasmussen at Sweden's Karolinska Institute.

Yeah that sounds ignorant but true.

So, I guess the socially progressive elites will be rushing to implement an affirmative action program for short people now???

I'm tall, but I'm dumb as an ox.

I'm really short. Tall people do concern me. It's something about their height. It's okay when they're sitting down. But when they get up it's like, woah, look how tall this person is. It's true they seem to more educated while I'm a chronic underachiever. It's not right. Short people should get like special tax breaks and stuff like that to make up for their natural handicap. Why should I pay more bus fare when I take up the same amount of room as a 12 year old?

 

[Inconel]

Well, I did have to step over many short people to get where I am today...

It wouldn't be half bad if platform shoes were fashionable. But even then I'd look like Commander Funk from Earth, Wind and Fire. We suffer the yoke of that shrimp formerly known as Prince.

I guess then my education was just average.

I suppose you are going to say that Tall people should have assigned seating in the back of the movie theater. That they should pay more for airplane tickets because they occupy more space in the airplane(headspace). And that legislators should put restrictions on tall people so that the Majority Short people have the same opportunities as tall people.



Oh by the way I am 6'2"

Hey, don't know about education but certainly tall people have an advantage in finding jobs and dates in China. My parents come from Sichuan, long known for having some of the shortest people in China---no surprise that one of the first questions asked by my mother of any potential boyfriend is 'how tall is he?'. The country is obsessed with height! Being tall compensates for so many other shortfalls, I'm starting to think there should be some type of law against short people in China.

Perhaps it would be easier to cut their feet off.

Tall people usually die young
Due to inside of their organs and hearts
That don't have much room in their bodies.

You'd think that tall people would have lots of room for their organs....
