  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How tall are you?

Wow, I'm glad to see other tall girls around here :) I get tired of all the teeny-tiny chicks that I see every day, making me feel like a giraffe-ish ogre.

Only problem is that the local guys seem to be shrinking too... :( Maybe it's cause the current generation grew up on video games and sodas instead of fresh air and milk. I don't like all the itty bitty people... *feels weird*

I'm somewhere between 5'6 and 5'7.

I think I'm technically 5'10.5 (178cm)? I haven't been officially measured in a while. The Dr's office wouldn't let me take my shoes off when I got measured a while back and they have me on record as 5'11. Not cool if a cute nurse see's me in socks and thinks I'm trying to puff up my height. ^_^

The average height for men is 5'9" and the average for women is 5'3" - 5'4".

Are we talking North American Average or some European average?

160 cm = 5.2 ft

180 cm = 5.9 ft
No, m'dear, 180CM = 5'11

I think I'm like 188 or 190 cm... I think. :confused:

That would mean you are about 6'2 to 6'3

Simple answer: I'm around 6'2".

Complicated answer:
I occasionally round it down to 6'1.5", because being slightly taller than advertised is generally better than being slightly shorter. Either way I'm over 6'2" with shoes on. My old Maine driver's license said 6'2". I seem to recall that they used wall chart to estimate. However, but I told the North Carolina DMV 6'1" when I moved here because I didn't feel like fudging 8ths of an inch or so, and I don't recall a half inch option. I'm actually not sure of my exact height in centimeters. The next time I'm in the doctor's office, I'll ask.
