Poll: You are approached by a mysterious, cloaked figure and asked a question...

[Utrechet]

Scenario:

You are walking down the streets of your local neighborhood when someone approaches you from around a corner. He tells you:

"I will ask you a question. I will not answer any questions you have about my question, and you have only 1 minute to answer my question. The question is, 'Would you own a farm of midgets.'"

Random as it is, you have that one minute to answer the question. Your answer is simply impulse with only a little time to contemplate the possibilities and benefits of owning a farm of midgets. Would you make money? Would they have funny costumes? How long would you own it? Thoughts flash through your head and you decide on an answer. Post what you come up with in the poll.

(Random?)

... Midgets are humans that just happen to be shorter because of a biological irregularity.

So no.

That's... well, racist isn't the right term, but it's the closest equivalent I can come up with.

Now, a farm/prison where I gather all horrible movie/game/book creators/writers and keep them away from anything that can help them create things, well... that's a different story.

 

[RedEyesBlackGamer]

That is...odd. And I hate slavery. So no, strange shadowy man, I would not own a farm of little people.

 

[Canid117]

Pretty sure that owning a farm of midgets would be illegal and also would break some personal rules of mine.

 

[thefrizzlefry]

Yeah, I'm gonna go with everyone else and say, "no." I would not have any problems with having little people WORK on my farm, but I would not farm little people.

 

[staika]

ME: "Who are you?"
Shady dude: "I will ask you a question. I will not answer any questions you have about my question, and you have only 1 minute to answer my question. The question is, 'Would you own a farm of midgets.'"
ME: "Seems legit, Hell ya I'd farm midgets that sounds like a wonderful idea."

 

[Raskolnikov34]

Yes, and then I'd release my midget slaves to freedom, so their future families would be indebted to my descendants.

Or train them as a midget army.

 

[Dags90]

That's... well, racist isn't the right term, but it's the closest equivalent I can come up with.

Some people use the term "ableist".

No, I wouldn't want to own a farm period.

 

[WorldCritic]

Um... no. That's a really weird question, and I would be creeped out if someone asked me that.

 

[The Hero Killer]

No and I would not be amused by the question. Now if it were a farm of attractive women... I'd be more inclined to accept. Especially if I were the only method for breeding.

 

[TonyVonTonyus]

Yes, I'd farm space pirate ninja midgets for my army to commence the invasion of Denmark.

 

[Akytalusia]

it only too me 1 second to come up with an answer. no. it just sounds like too much of a hassle. that's all.

 

[infohippie]

That's... random. Was there something that inspired you to ask that, or did you just try to think of the most random thing you could?

Could I milk said midgets?

Ew.

 

[Utrechet]

Get to know me. You'd learn that this is nothing. (Insert Smiley-Face for you here)

 

[Katie Paxton-fear]

No, farming midgets is too impractical.

 

[SteewpidZombie]

Yes in the idea that in this random situation it were possible to make some sort of actual profit off of such a career...buuut in reality I'd say no...there ain't no real money to be made in farms...now the Midget Tossing League on the otherhand...

Anywho, for the the sake of argument in this fictional world I'll say yes.

Get ready for some of the most politically incorrectness that you'll see in this thread.

My farm would be a once a week Midget gladiator arena and petting zoo with $3 bags of peanuts that can be thrown at the midgets. For a additional fee of $20 you and your children may rent out the midgets for parties and if requested: kiddy rides, in which they will be dressed as varying animals and forced to crawl on all fours. We are currently looking for sponsers from the 'Take a wish foundation' and 'Beating Sacks Full of Kittens' (B.S.F.K) organization for additional funds so that we may help castrate the males and sterilize the females (Don't want them getting out of hand in population growth). But of course let's not forget that once a month the farm hosts a family night where you and your kids may take sticks and beat our midgets like pinyatas as they hang from the ceiling.

(For anyone about to make a comment about me being rude, insensitive, cruel, ignorant, ect., please just know that this is all just a joke. If you take offense, then I am sorry, however the whole point of the thread is a joke).

 

[Shoggoth2588]

That's... well, racist isn't the right term, but it's the closest equivalent I can come up with.

Midgets are dwarves which are their own race in basically every universe but ours so I would call that kind of a racist question. Of course that view in itself could also be considered racist and I don't want to offend anybody...

...to answer the person though, I would say 'no'.

 

[Vault101]

I would say

"who the fuck are you? get away from me! and NO! I wouldnt...what do you have againsts midgets?"
