  1. This is NOT the case, AT ALL. Heroine sold legally would be much cheaper, because it could be grown legally in the US (poppys that is) and formed from morphine to heroine here. There would have to be no smuggling, and therefore prices would be cheaper. This is obvious, since if you payed attention, in just the four states weed has been legalized, this has cut huge profits out of the cartels money. Also I said before, the war on drugs is against human rights, and giving people a legitimate way to get it, they would not have to serve years in jail. You're fighting for a lost cause, and you yourself are protecting and feeding illegal growers by keeping it illegal. You told me addicts would look for a cheaper alternative. You know what the percentage of drug users are addicts? Only 10-20%. See how much profit that would cut from their sales. If you believe alcohol should be legal, and you think heroine should be illegal, then I would righly believe of you to be hypocritical. And also, heroine is only one drug, and the only drug that would feed the Taliban. And now that I think of it, I literally do not get your reasoning. You said the reason it should be illegal is to not feed terrorists. But you yourself said that people would look for cheaper alternatives. So you rather not cut their profits, not make any money on the taxed product that will be legal, then to make it legal, and now that I think of it, it would probably almost elminate their profits in the US. They'll see it's legal here, and choose to just sell it in other countries rather than risk being caught for little to no sales. I know you said you would not talk about it anymore, but I wanted to ask you(don't answer if you don't want to obviosuly) do you think its fair to lock up people for their whole life for growing a little weed?
  2. Haha. Let's feed the cartels with money. Bravo! Also, if drugs money feeds thr Taliban, legalizing it would end that, as you stated.
  3. Yeah. I guess in the words of Shia ,"Just do it!" But really, I found out today after a bit a reading that having an image in your mind, or a clear goal, that helps ypu feel motivated. I found it helped me a little, since I felt more inspired again. I knew that was supposed to help, but I never realized that actually writing it down can help.
  4. Not to sound rude, but being a conservative is quite the opposite of MLP's nature. Conservative's do not care about the (at least in the US) rights of individuals they view as different. That is on their social stand points. Now on their economic standpoints, I really don't care what you are. Conservatives are against the rights of the LGBT, which I find unacceptable in a modernizing society. Just to make sure I am not labeled as a total liberal, I hate the way SJW and feminists act nowadays. They focus on xreating "equality" by blaming groups of people (such as white people or men) rather than individuals. Generalizing a group as priviledged or opressing is racist/sexist in itself. Also I am a total liberal when it comes to the War on Drugs. I believe that the war on drugs is 100% un-constitutional, and violates the rights of humans. It is not faur in ANY way, how people are being locked up for LIFE, for causing harm to noone. Granted, some substances may hurt the user, but by that logic alcohol should be highly illegal.
  5. The thing is I know what does interest me. It's just that I have lost the drive to want to create it. I think I just need to rethink my "vision" of what I want to create, and focus on the parts that make it meaningful to myself.
  6. Yeah. The thing is it's not easy to find someone else who could work with me.
  7. So basically lately my schedule lately has not allowed me much free time on my PC due to circumstances. I used to have a lot of free time in this case, so I spent a lot of time playing video games and programming. Well now that I have less time I have been taking the lazy path and just playing CSGO, and let my skills in programming sit to rot. I used to feel inspired to want to code this game, but lately I don't feel motivated at all, or ibspired, and I end up using all of my free time on playing video games. Now being about 17 now, it seems normal for soneone to just finish their school and just spend the rest of their time playing video games. But I want to create, not just use. Do any of you have any ideas or tips on how someone like me (lazy/unmotivated/un-inspired) can get to be how I felt before, creative and inspired? I used to write passages about the fictional worlds I had thought of, but now I just sit around wasting time. If you have any experience in such a dilemma, or just anything to say, it would be much appreciated.
  8. My name is geartree101, so feel free to add me I guess. Your name does not ahow up in skype, so you can add me and I'll join.

  10. The show itself... Just kidding. But reall, one problem in my opinion are mostly how the finales and 2 parts epiaodes differ so much from the regular formula of the show. The rest of the epsiodes are more fun and cartoony, whilst the 2 part episodes feel more serious. It's not really a big problem, but it's just such a big contrast. Worse than the show title itself is the intro.
  11. Wow. You literally quote mine what I said. Look at that quote in the context of what I said. To say it is racist is silly. That's like saying Tolkien is racist because Elves are not evil like orcs. It's a fabtast world, not all races are equal in terms of inherited abilities. I don't know. I always thought it flowed like that to repersent the light that emits from the moon or sun. Who knows.
  12. I agree. I think we should focus more on if the episodes with these characters/events are good, instead on focusing if the characters make sense or not. The show has some back story in it, but for the most part the show is filled with random jokes for a reason, it's supposed to be light hearted and fun. This is not racism. Racism is what the name implies, the belief that one race is greater than another. How can a baby be racist just because she was born with better traits. Thats like saying Einstien was elitist because his brain had literally more capacity to reason as he did. Or that white people are racist against asians because they have less people with lactose intolerance than Asians. People here seem to have a very distorted view on what racism really is.
  13. That is the problem. It seemed like they were just doing everythibg the fandom wanted. Your comment that this is the episode that we nitpick and it should be instead like is flawed. Just because a movie/show was made for a certain audience doesn't mean it is good or excused if it is bad. I know this sounds harsh, but I find the episode to be really boring and ridiculous. The characters were only there to pander to bronies, and I did not find them interesting at all. When you want to talk about whether a character/episode is good or bad you must look at it from the context of the show itself, not look at what the fans thought was funny. The thing is I would have been completely fine with the episode if the characters actually had a reason to be in a coherent plot, but the plot was a jumbled mess and the characters added nothing to it, and we just jokes. To me its like making a show of Jar Jar Binks. All the characters are there for is to be a joke by defenition, rather than adding comedy to the episode in a more "natural manner". Sorry for the rant. I can see why someone might like the episode, but just watch the episode like you never knew what the fandom thought the personality of the background characters are, and you might see what I am saying.
  14. I disagree. I myself think it is supposed to be funny. Why would they throw in jokes in the mix? The "crying in the inside joke". If you see any other emotional scene in the show, they generally try to keep a less silly mood. You might disagree, but I find it quite obvious. The very title of the show is corny. XD
  15. Actually I think in one of Cheese Sanwgich songs there was a mugshot, with a wall with measurements on it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q95Ns__HXVY You can see it at 2:34 in the video.
  16. I found this episode to be non-funny, not at all emotionally investing and it felt like a fan made episode rather than the creators of the show. There were some funny moments, but the story was incoherent and nothing really belonged. I know it's supposed funny and not taken seriously, but I was bored throughout.
  17. That scene was more silly, I don't think they tried to hard to make it emotional.
  18. I see people saying they are not a brony, because they think the word suggeats to much of their personality, or just that is a silly word. They say they are a "fan of mlp", not a brony. Doesn't that seem a bit nit-picky. When someone syays are you a brony, they don't wanna ask do you refer to yourself as a brony, but rather if you like MLP. So yeah, even though I don't really label myaelf a brony, I am by definition a brony.
  19. I honestly think that we can't really complain. You say every alicorn earned it, but we never had any evidence or anything refering that you cannot be born an alicorn. Also, saying that it does not teach equality is really naive. Equality is NOT about physical features or physical advabtages. It is about giving everyone the same opportunities, as well as everyone has the same rights. I know the show is a bit different then equality in real life, but even the show itself supports my viewpoint. It teaches that everyone is special, and we don't force equality by taking those specialities away, but rather use them in a way everyone can benefit from.
  20. Probably fluttershy as a filly. She's cute now, and even cuter then.
  21. I think some reason people didn't like it was because it was predictale, boring, and so sappy. I know MLP can usually be quite sappy, but usually I like the light hearted nature of the show. This episode however to me was almost cringe-worthy sappy, and the redemption was so boring compared to some of the other redemptions. Maybe because ut was more predictable then the redemption of other characters, but I still didn't really care for her change in heart.
  22. I don't see why it would hurt. Hair is such a superficial part of the body, and I think the color schemes of the character make them recognizable enough. My question is, why hasn't hasbro jumped on this opportunity to sell more toys. I do think however that if they chabge their hair styles, why would it have to be permanently, they already changed it.
  23. I think the show tries not to be realistic, but more cartooney in nature. Usually shows with animal characters don't emphasize the species' weaknesses they make have in reality.
