Gravity kills. All you planet-bound people are so happy with the idea of living on gravity-tied landmasses, not even thinking about the many, many new ways it creates to kill you. Parachuting, skydiving, driving a car--all these things are interesting to you because they're about fighting gravity, but you complain that you can't do them in zero, never mind that these things kill a statistically significant number of you. Yes, you can argue that the main reason cars kill people is momentum, but c'mon, gravity does its fair share too. That's not enough for you, though. Oh, no. You have to bring your gravity up to our stations, complain long enough and loud enough about not having any gravity, and eventually you get some. You even get some smart stupid engineer to dream up the idea of variable gravity, which is like having gravity that kills you but also sneaks up on you when you're not expecting it. And no, us spacers aren't the only ones it's gotten. It's gotten a fair number of you Earthers, too, who didn't think through the whole different planet/different gravity thing. Oops. Maybe now you'll have some appreciation for us and our point of view. No? Didn't think so. And I'm really not appreciating the gravity in the infirmary, given that it was gravity that put me here in the first place. Sure, sure, some things are blood problems that require gravity for fixing properly--
