    I suppose I would date a midget, but I wouldn't expect anything long term tbh.

    I couldn't, nothing that shallow, I just couldn't handle the inherent depression issues.

    Statistically 6 out of 7 dwarves aren't happy.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,442 ✭✭✭MickShamrock


    No. I'd laugh at them though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Anyone


    Does putting one in your garden constitute a date?


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,331 ✭✭✭Guill


    Girls, have you ever heard the phrase 'Small Jockey Big whip!"

    an argument i've had on a couple of occasions is whats actually the accepted term for little people, ya know, with the medical problem...is it midget or dwarf or what? do they get insulted by midget or dwarf, cos neither term conjures up happy thoughts - unless you think of snow white or charlie and the chocolate factory...

    Statistically there is bound to be a poster in this thread that has a sibling or cousin with Downs syndrome. Think about your reaction if I posted a thread or posted jokes in that thread entitled, 'Would you date a Mong?'

    (BTW, I think Mong is a disgusting term and am merely using it in my post to highlight my point)

    Look, I am as likely to laugh at jokes in Jackass because I know Weeman is an adult and up for it. But how can people not think about the 16 or 17 year old small person that might be reading this thread who is still coming to terms with their condition.

    I suppose the stock answer is that anyone who is different should know better to steer clear of AH. AH is only for 'Perfect' people who don't need to fear being offended by anyone cause they are perfect and there is nothing different about them to make fun of. AH lets them be the sneering bully they really are but are too cowardly to be in real life. Walk up to a small person in the street and make the same jokes ye ignorant cowards!

    Would you date a midget/dwarf?

    Sure ....it would be like masturbating with someone to talk to.


  • Moderators Posts: 51,719 ✭✭✭✭Delirium


    Damn right, some people just need to grow up!

    If they could do that they wouldn't be dwarves :pac:

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    i have no small amount of sympathy for what you just said here. this thread is little more than attempt to slight people who are different to the norm. you might say the jokers here have a minute level of intelligence and lead their dinky lives blinkered to the not so minuscule differences in the human race. only a tiny shread of difference between these people and nazi's imo. i've know this since i was knee-high to a grasshopper. we need to put these petty issues aside and focus on micro-realtions on a base level. i hope this post is not taken apart bit by bit or seen as insignificant.

    I think that's quite enough of that tbh.
