Why are most short people stuck in the east, and most tall people are istuck n the west?

You mean, East like Asia. And West like Europe and the Americas? \n\nPerhaps because of the diet pattern.

there is a two-way street involved in this question.....the taller, the more mass; the shorter, the less mass......so why do tall people run faster? because they have longer legs and their strides are bigger; however, tall people have more mass and therefore usually weigh more and that slows them down. Like in everything there is a happy medium which would be the fastest.\nFor the sake of the question, taller people will tend to run faster because of their longer legs and longer strides

i spend a lot of time in asia with my wife [ shes irish]and what you say is gereraly true enough,  i'd have to say both asian men and woman are just fabulous people [ otherwise i wouldnt be there ] but they are  much smaller it stature. my wife who is small by u.s. standards towers over all ower asian friends and feels self concious about that. and in general a man is expected to be taller than his date.[ men dont care about that nearly as much as woman] i know a very tall vietnamese man, strapping stud who has the hottest tall ausrailian girl... of coures that aint scientific resurch but you get the point... see size does matter

The U. S. Census doesn't ask people how tall they are, so I seriously doubt that there's an accurate answer to your question. But based upon general demographics and immigration, I'd bet that the average height is probably lower in southern California, southern Texas, southern Florida, and average about the same everywhere else.

Nothing, really. What is west is also east. San Francisco is west of New York because you can go west across the US from New York to San Francisco. But also San Francisco is east of New York, because you can cross the Atlantic, go across Europe and Asia, then cross the Pacific Ocean to get to San Francisco. If you go east far enough, you get back to where you started. So every place is east of itself, and also west of itself.\n\nNorth and South are not like that. You can't go any farther north than the North Pole, or any farther south than the South Pole.There are no East or West Poles.\n\nPerhaps one could define x as being east of y if going east from x to y is shorter than going west from x to y. A similar definition could define west.

I guess because the majority of asians are short.

they are asian/caucasian if you want to try to label them.  the euopean continent separates from asia at a line roughly drawn down the middle of the ural mountains.

This is because we see them as rotating so.Actually the earth rotates west to east on it's axis.That's why we see'em rotating east to west.

Well, it's not just short people. A lot of people don't have a way to take out their aggressions and one way to do that is to drive aggressively and like a moronic fool.

A lot of times it tends to happen because they are surrounded by so many other people that also dont assimilate, that they form their own little community (often even complete with community grocery stores, jobs, etc) so that they arent forced to assimilate- it lets them get by without doing it.  If they move to an area where that doesnt exist, I think you tend to see them assimilate pretty fast.

How would playing basketball make someone tall?  You probobly think that because most tall people play because it's a big advantage to have height.

I'm not tall myself but since I learned to walk upright, I felt inches taller.  If you have confidence, you won't feel dwarfed by someone much taller than you.  Actually a lot of the tall people have the problem of feeling self conscious because of their height.

Sadly, yes it's true. The farther South or West you go, from anywhere around the D.C. to NYC area, people lighten up quite a bit. \n\nAfter I moved from Colorado, and noticed the major change of attitudes, and I formed a wacky theory.... The MORE people you cram into a SMALL state, the less elbow room and "personal space" each person has. Thus, the more aggressive said individuals must become to be heard, noticed, and generally make their way through day to day life. As such, the "rude" behavior is almost required (not right, but unless you want to be stepped on, required.)

How many have u seen, i m an asian, and I do not shuffle my feet, although have seen many here in europe, where i am rt. now, who do and got annoyed myself.Demeneurs and personality traits differ all over the world, if u make this a stereotype thing, u'll start getting angry whenever u see an asian, illogically, without any reason....it would be far beyond the shuffling thing.
