  1. Which is precisely why I said: Some may completely disagree with me on this point. Sadly, this nasty behavior was most obviously displayed and used towards any and all adults while I lived in England. So many of the teenagers have had poor role models ("parents" living off the Dole, working just under the maximum hours so they can keep their benefits, sit at home drinking and watching the telly; kicking their kids out of the house rather than disciplining them and dealing with them like responsible parents would. Then those kids sit around outside in the streets heckling and harassing passerby just to get attention). Thank god I haven't noticed this level of abhorrent behavior here in the US yet (not where I've lived or seen so far). My little sister used to think that the "bad boys" in school were who she was attracted to and so all the guys she dated in high school were dirtbags and idiots with no respect for anyone. When she got to college, she actually somehow fell in love with the complete opposite: a really nice, thoughtful, super nerd. 'Twas very strange to see that turnaround. Honestly, it comes down to the rebelliousness and immaturity of youth. Teens are stereotyped and trained to think that rebellion is cool, or that they have to do certain things to be remembered. Once you graduate though, unless you live in a vacuum, you likely won't see or talk to most of the people you knew in high school ever again... Your goals and interests will adapt and adjust with time (or they usually do) and it all just comes with experience. I was raised as the only son with 6 sisters, so I was trained rigorously on proper ways to treat girls and other people (so much to the point that I became more aloof and shy in high school and got along better with the teachers than I did most of my classmates).
  2. The whole, "You can't tell me what to do" attitude is an atrocious behavior. Though I'm sure we've all been guilty of it at least once in our lives, it's not an attitude I think one should find "cool" or "sexy." It's an attitude of 100% disrespect and self-deception. When I look at teenagers as a whole, this is exactly how I see them, because these types are the most loud, outspoken and obnoxious of each generation. Sadly, the well-tempered teens never get that much attention because they're not really 'newsworthy,' in that they live their lives peacefully and subtly, not trying to destroy the world. As a soccer referee, I work with and officiate a lot of teenagers. Many of them are fine, but that's all based on what I see during the matches I ref. I have some teen-aged Assistant Referees that show up early, know what they're doing, are attentive to the match and show they are personally invested in doing a good job. Then I have some others that show up just before the game starts, missing their referee socks or patch, no watch, and are looking off in the distance or trying to sneak a peek at their phone at each dead ball. You can tell which ones have been taught how to be disciplined and have good work ethic. I plan to be a teacher within the next few years, but I really, really hope I don't have to teach at a high school for too long; I need to teach at a college if I plan to keep my sanity over the years...
  3. Exactly how I played it in K-5! Boy, I don't think I've played it since then, but it was one of my favorite in-class games...17 years ago! haha
  4. I was giggling pretty loudly to myself throughout her impersonation sequence, but this one really got me laughing! A ship I can actually root for!
  5. Spare us, Lordav! I beg of you!
  6. What about MLP makes its fan base so prone to these desires to make it edgier/darker/mature/political?? If you want a darker kids show, go watch Gargoyles from the 90's. That's a good kind of dark, with a great villain. Go watch the animated Star Wars: Clone Wars or Rebels series. They're meant for older audiences, what with all the conspiracies and killing et cetera. Friendship is Magic has had some darker moments, but it's meant to be a wholesome show that parents can feel comfortable watching with their kids or just having their kids watch it and not worry about them being exposed to mature themes. This is what makes is such a great escape from the rest of television these days. You want dark MLP? I imagine it wouldn't be hard to find and go read MLP-Game of Thrones crossover fanfics or something, but please, please, please leave the show the ray of sunshine that it is meant to be!
  7. But human-cat is possible! ...and..and Sunset Kitty!!
  8. But...that pic would infer that she went from human to cat...and you talked about staying pony... :awuh:
  9. If she stayed a pony, she would not have learned the magic of friendship and become the amazing hu-mare she is now!
  10. I just counted and I have over 550 pics and gifs saved in my MLP folder that have something to do with Sunny... Here's 7 that I don't remember seeing here recently and/or at all...
  11. Mmmmmmm! This has always been one of my absolute favorites! I remember sharing it in here long, long ago! It needed to be re-posted or sure!
  12. Perhaps we should be focusing on our Shimmerbetes rather than hating on SciTwi...She was only as scientifically curious as pony Twilight ever was. Magic is a huge game-changer for those that have never experienced it. Sunny got angry with her because she was being sneaky about it and that secretive approach to it ended up endangering everyone. It's not like Twilight meant to do it. If the cast had found a way to get Twilight to open up to them about her research, they could have simply shown it to her. Time to lighten the mood:

    books Animorphs

    I read a good % of the series growing up. I only owned a few so I had to borrow the rest from the local library. This made it tricky to get the books in chronological order since my selection was always based on what was there each time I went. I am definitely going to that site! Side note: When I first started reading, I had never seen the name Tobias before, so I mentally pronounced it Toe-bee-us. It wasn't until I saw an episode of the tv series and heard them say "Toe-by-ess" that I figured it out. I thought they were wrong, but then again, I later did the same thing with Hermione from Harry Potter (I was one of the many that referred to her as "Her-me-own" up until Rowling acknowledged this pronunciation error was so widespread that she incorporated the situation into Hermione's interaction with Hagrid's half-brother, Grawp in The Order of the Phoenix. Haha
  14. I honestly don't know what to say here...it seems that the first page is filled with the 5%...haha Is it even possible to have this many above avg in one forum (not on a scientific forum at least)?? I decided to distrust all IQ tests you can find and take on the internet. There's no proctor to ensure that you're not googling answers or having multiple people work on the answers together etc. Heck, it took me weeks to find a believable personality test! All this said, I believe that I tend to have a pretty practical outlook on most situations when I compare myself to those around me. I usually tend to be correct on topics I devote at least some level of attention to. I was a 4.0 student up through 5th grade, but then I started to hate homework. It all felt like busywork to me and my grades started dropping simply because I avoided doing the homework. I aced the tests on a regular basis. I forgot to bring a calculator to the ACT (Utah doesn't give the SAT) math section BOTH times I took it, but still scored higher than the majority of those who took it along with me. English was my strongest category though. This has continued into college. I got a 98% (the class high) on a physics test on relativity after arriving to class not even knowing we had a test that day and not even having the textbook to read. Meanwhile, a number of other students were furious with me, stating they had spent 16 hours at the library leading up to the test and got ~85% (the class avg on that test). All of this self-edification I suppose goes to show that I do believe I am naturally quite perceptive and intelligent, but I'm pretty sure I could be a total brainiac if I actually had the desire to put in the work. However, my love is sports, so my father's pissed that I chose to major in PE and not Software Development or Programming etc.
  15. That's disgusting! I gave up ramen noodles 4 years ago and haven't regretted it for a second! Nasty, nasty! If I were to never need any other nutrients and this food magically supplied all my body needed...I would go with beef. (Though I'm guessing you mean a very specific meal, rather than what I'm hoping...haha) It comes in various cuts and styles... If not allowed more than one cut...I'd go with Top Sirloin steak. MMMMMM! If I were to be realistic...I'd probably go with a Chicken Bacon Ranch sub sandwich. Gets me: Carbohydrates (bread) Protein (chicken, bacon) Vegetables (lettuce, onions) Fruit (pickles) Dairy (pepperjack cheese) Fats/Oils (Ranch Dressing) Nailed it!
  16. You realize the brain isn't actually a muscle, right? Just think how different our heads would look if it was! (Some people's heads would be massive and other's would be all flabby)! With that, I'm actually majoring in physical education, but I'm minoring in psychology. It's amazing how much impact our mentality can have on our physical ability and social interactions!
  17. Probably my epidermis; it keeps everything else I consider to be me together...
  18. 100% Omnivore. I strongly believe that being purely carnivorous or purely herbivorous can be detrimental to the average person's health. I've yet to personally know a true vegan that has looked remotely healthy to me, while eating only meat can leave one severely lacking in many essential nutrients. Humans have adapted over the years to have the means of eating both meat and plant-based foods, hence our various teeth. I know there are people in the world that are unable to eat certain things for serious health reasons, like my roommate who is Celiac. Allergies are definitely worth concern, but thankfully, I have no food-related allergies. Nothing beats a good sirloin, IMO, though pizza or a burger with sirloin on it comes pretty dang close! I have always liked some fruits, especially bananas and grapes, but it wasn't until I lived in England that I started to gain an appreciation for vegetables. Sprouts and asparagus are actually amazing (when prepared properly)!
  19. True, True. Your analysis of Equestria being pre-industrial feels pretty spot-on to me. I think the only way we'll see more than one "teen-looking" pony in action on screen will be if they decide to slowly age the CMCs and show that transition, seeing as there's a large difference in body structure between fillies and mares.
  20. Papa Murphy's does a 5 Meat Pizza-Stuffed Pizza that is the best one I have ever eaten. From their site: 5-MEAT STUFFED™Red Sauce, Canadian Bacon, Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, Bacon, topped with Ground Beef, Provolone, Cheddar This is how I want to eat the 5 Meat
  21. Are you all forgetting Big Mac in the Cutie Mark Chronicles? That being said, they do seem to be rare...
  22. You should probably add an option for "Other" to the poll for those like me. For me, it's all about Apple Fritter.
  23. It's also one of the few that actually makes sense to me. haha
  24. It will be FORCED by the freaking fans trying to get it "equalized." You can't just up and change the mane cast for no reason besides perceived "gender inequality." When they do, it usually ruins the entire premise. Look at what they did with the Hobbit as a film. They stretched it out (an entirely different conversation) and added a needlessly over-complicated love triangle because the screenwriters decided there needed to be a "strong" female in the story, where Tolkien had zero in his novel. Even as a "strong" female character, Tauriel was still made to be flirty and swoon at horrible genitalia references, which IMO, strongly diminished the character. She could have been fantastic, but they screwed up a character they created themselves. MLP would need to go to the next generation and preferably relocate out of Ponyville if they wanted to have a "balanced" cast. Any major changes to the mane 6 would be forced. They could do a spin-off in another town and have a different cast, maybe with Sunset Shimmer...???) They have plenty of locations to choose from that haven't been used much, if not at all in the television series: Las Pegasus Trottingham Baltimare Fillydelphia Hoofington Mustangia Whinnyapolis to name a few
