Roughshod

I'd go with the Samurai. Their swordsmanship seems to have been based on much more disciplined training and the katana is probably the best designed sword of its time period, if not all of history.

Blueberry pie. What's the strangest thing you've seen on these forums?

The biggest thing wold have to be my perspective on the world around me. When I was younger I used to be half amazed and half angry at everything going on. Now I usually just sit back, laugh and try to enjoy the ride as much as I can.

Pretty decent. I guess. Maybe.

I'd leave date with the check if I didn't like how it went. That's a faux pas if you're the guy generally speaking. If you had to fight one of the MLP:FIM villains, which would it be?

A chimpanzee. It's similar to my actual species in form and habit but also more primal in its nature.

FDR. Simply put he was the most influential president of the twentieth century, which was the most influential century for the United States. The list of modern American presidents can be divided between those who came before and after Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Just as the very notion of modern american state economics has forever been impacted by his New Deal and state programs. By joining the allied forces(albeit in a forced way after bring attacked by the Japanese Empire) in WWII, he made the decision to aid in the defeat of the most dangerous and totalitarian governments the world had ever seen. I'm not saying he was perfect(Japanese internment camps, ahem) no president was, nor should we expect them to be, but he helped guide his country through the worst set of crises it had faced since the Civil War. He was so popular he was elected an unprecedented 4 times. He suffered from polio but didn't allow his illness or political and social expectations to prevent him from doing what he thought was necessary for the benefit of America. It could be argued that what was great were the circumstances of his time in office, not his indivdual character so much. I disagree. While not an American, I hold the view that the United States was made better from his presidency.

The day started wih me waking up at approximately 8:30am and then deciding to go back to sleep. When I awoke again it was about 10:00am. I then decided to skip breakfast and proceed to philander about the interwebs whilst lying in bed and dreading the moment I would have to leave for work. I showered, brushed my teeth, got dressed and did all the other daily minutiae that comprises my morning routine. Sigh. Sadly neither sickness nor death fell upon and and it behooved me to, at long last, leave my humble abode and step out into the cold, cruel world and set forth upon my journey to make mad stacks of riches. Due to the close proximity of my place of employment, I have always preferred to walk rather than take any other means of transportation. I find it allows me to channel my energy and stabilize my chakras in such a way that I can best communicate with my animal spirits and remember how badly I want to be the best, like no one ever was. On the way there in came across a very cross looking cross-eyed and apparently cross-dressing crossing guard who's arms were crossed holding a large cross. He appeared to be proselytizing something to the masses but I could quite make it out. I considered getting closer to find out what the meaning of this commotion was but thought "Nah, I'm Roughshod. I don't have time for this!" and went on my merry way. I whistled the Argentinian anthem as well. Once I arrived at work I was greeted by my adoring coworkers and subordinates(no one is superior to me obviously). I spent the next few hours break dancing to the works of Mozart while philosophizing on the crises of the Aztec empire. When lunch rolled on by I simply stepped outside and allowed photosynthesis to take its course. The rest of the day is a blur honestly. I recall arm wrestling a chihuahua and inventing a new language but then again that could just be a premonition of what's to come. I often have visions of that sort. So that was my day. Not too bad if I do day so myself. All typos above were intentional. This especially includes the pun 'day so myself'. You are welcome. I suppose now I can add 'generously donated wit' to the things I accomplished on this morrow. The truth is rough but I sure can be smooth. Huzzah.

Strongly disagreeing with someone.

So it's the banality of evil then? You've just proved my point of how hypocritical and ironic it is for people to mourn these events, while simply shrugging off the deaths of others in certain places because it's simply "expected". The deaths of innocent people from war and terror should never be simply "expected" as if it is somehow tolerable. How can you possibly stand by such a horrid double standard? There was no justification for killing civilians simply because they voiced an opinion that others disagreed with. That is the antithesis for the very values France has stood for. I don't give a damn what your religion or set of values means to you, it does not give you a right to infringe on the freedom of others. You are unbelievable. Go on then and indulge in your own emotional self-gratification. At least you can show sympathy for some victims of terrorism, provided they meet your standards of innocence. I may have never disagreed more with someone on this forum than right now. How dare you judge the lives and deaths of those people and rationalize their suffering. This kind of indifference is revolting.

Somewhat bemused at the ardent hypocrisy of people mourning the attacks in Paris when most don't care or prefer to ignore the thousands who die violently everyday all over the world. I guess it's all about perception and novelty. People react to what they're expected to react to, which is the unexpected. In this case it's the uncommon occurrence of terrorism in a world famous city in a developed first world country. It strikes close to home to know such a thing cpuld happen in a place not too unlike where many of us may reside. While I don't downplay the tragedy of what occurred I'm not going to pretend to be shocked by it either. I am however interested to see what the aftermath will be.

lol I didn't meant to come off as that caustic or rude. But you're probably right. I'll refrain from chastising any further suggestions. It's not even my OC after all.

Geez. With a story like that it's no wonder he took to drinking. He's probably depressed. Was his father an alcoholic too? His background does mention his father drinking. There's no mention of his mother so she might have died or his parents may have gotten divorced and that's why he moved. What a nice story for a children's show universe. Either way Thoroughbrew is still fairly snooty and Canterlot worthy. I stand by it.
