If I understand it correctly, the guy with the vertical handicap received three days of training for the job, and just after that asked, and got fired.

If you discriminate a dwarf, you don't give him a chance first by letting him in, and you don'T give him three days of job traning first.

To me this smells like just another case of this modern contemporary special mindset at work that I love so very much.

Handicaps or not, employees must make sure they fulfill needed criterions to do a job. That'S how it is. If the physical appearance of somebody is such that he/she doe snot fit into a given job, he/she is better up with finding another one more fitting. The same is true for educational preconditions, and gender.

We push these equality-rights into absurd extremes. Healthy reason is what I would prefer in almost every case.

In america, the law system additionally makes it too easy to file the most absurd cases, it seems,a lömost with fairy-tale sums of money mentioned. Remember that judge from some years ago, who sued a Chinese washer for having lost his trousers, and demanding compensation for the psychic pain that caused him, I think it was several hundreds of thosuands of dollars, eh? The Chinese washer had to close his shop over it. Either that judge was an azz, or it all was a staged act to illustrate a fundamental problem.
