There is a small problem here: If all the dudes buy themselves taller bodies, the average size of males raises. Then to stay above average they'll have to buy other even taller bodies ad infinitum. That's actually a great marketing strategy.

They can serve as presidents. As said previously: You won't have to vote. You'll just have to build them in factories.

Interesting post, thanks.

But if i may, if you think us "first world" countries lack people who skirt the law, you idealise us. :D

And i am not sure i want to call Brazil some sort of third world country. :D

Dear slashdotters,

Do you think this guy is :

-A shill for a pseudo medicine who has found a weird place to sell his horse manure ?

-A troll who has a little fun playing a crank ?

-One of these multiple insane people on the internet ?

Or the likes of Patrushev.

It may very well be his own ultranationalist circle that puts a knife in his back because of his failures. But that would not be a guarantee of improvement.

People start slowly to accept the idea that dumb people are harmful, not cute. Good.

This a quite parochial comment. Do you think only the united States exist on the planet and that what happens in other countries is irrelevant ? In most places you have an age condition to have an amateur radio license. Even for a short range VHF permit.

Depends of the country. Some have age conditions.

Also whatever system will not work out because it will not be compatible with more or less exotic people, or people whose ID happen not to be from the USA (around 8 billion people...). The people making those laws are retarded. And voted by retards too.

I will tell you: These are floors full of Helen Lovejoys who think of the children. They have their special place there.

And in Brazil its March 17. You have 12 days and a few hours to comply with the law of your Brazilian overlords. And the penalities are insane.

Note that in this kind of cases, white smoke, LOTS of white smoke, is not necessarily a good sign.

Everybody know where they are.

In other news, the committee tasked with finding a successor to Khamenei has been bombarded.

"Regime" is a more appropriate word. It is how the German press, including the right wing one, calls it.
