  1. I probably went down a lot of blocks in the charm list because of my latest blog, What affected me the most is that I hurted my friend ponyEcho, which I love dearly. I begged him for forgiveness and thank God he forgave me. That blog probably also made me look like a "rich" (LOL I ain't no rich) snobby brat that enjoys to step on other people unfortunate economical situation and just hate on them because they are poor and filthy, end of the story, when in reality I am not like that. I can't fix that fact that I looked like an asshole, because the things I wrote in my previous blog were very much true. Many people will dislike that right off the bat and I can't do anything to change it, but what I can change is what I want you to see from my points of view (which they were poorly excuted in my latest blog) from a subjective manner to a more objective and well explained manner of what I trully meant. I let my emotions to speak for me and I'm not sure if I didn't word alright my ideas or I didn't explain myself well, or my lack of proper english words betrayed me, so allow me to fix this, not to mention that I want to apologize for the horrible things I wrote. Let me start by saying that I don't like or hate people because they are poor, to be a friend of mine, that's completelly irrelevant to me, but what I do is that I often judge people at first sight or on a first impression, it could be the on the clothing, or how they look or how they behave in the first minute I interact with them or see them. I think it's very easy to know when someone's homeless based on just their appearance, or if they are looking for stuff through the garbage, yeah I have seen people doing that. And yeah, as assholish as it may sound, I kinda look at them with a kind of superior attitude. This artwork of Rarity would explain better my reactions. Concentrate on her face. I feel bad when I do this. Because it's not fair to just judge or think people is inferior to me just because they are poor. I know this is wrong and I'm aware of it, but I still do, and I hate this of myself. But I'm sure I'm not the only one on here that judges people in X or Y thing. And it would be hypocrytical to call me names when you do the same thing, I'm not trying to find guiltiness, I can only be responsible of myself and my own acts, not for other's. I repeat, though a first impression is important to me, it can always change when I get to know that people better, and when they show me how ignorant and stupid I were for judging them, then I start to feel guilt for my actions and for the way I thought of them. My problem is that I fail to be emphatetic, I know there is poverty around the world, I know that there are hunger and people that have no choice but to beg, that life is trully a piece of shit to them. But sometimes I forget about these stuff, I just want them to go away when they ask me for money, how cruel I can be? But I have my moments when I get touched and became generous and lend them some money because I feel like doing it. But I'm sure I'm not made of stone, I am ignorant and I am even more ignorant because I never went through the hard life of a poor person or a homeless person. I never slept on the streets, I never beg for food or education, I had what I wanted. So it's hard for me to be on a homeless person's shoes if I am not shown what is like to have a very hard economical situation in life. I remember I saw this movie "In search for happyness" with Will Smith, and the scene when he was in a public bathroom with his son because he had nowhere to sleep and he had to lie to his son in why they had to sleep in a public bathroom, and when someone tried to come in, he kicked the door shut still with his son in arms and it was so overwhelming that he had to cry in silence because their future was uncertain and their life was practically shit. That scene broke me inside, and I don't want to see that movie again. I saw another movie of a colombian woman who got together with an american man in the US I think, and she had 2 children, he either died or left and she was alone, and on top of that she was illegal, so a shitstorm of bad things happened to these 3 and on top of that she was pregnant again. I cried in both movies, and I really FELT for these people (note both movies are based on real events) and it made me feel guilty for how I act sometimes. Now that you see that I am not a heartless monster, I want to explain in a objective way my "thing" with poor people. I should have categorized poor people in 2 groups. One group, is the poor people that have no choice but beg (If they have nothing) but they try, looking for jobs or something to get a better life, no matter what cost (this explanation was kind of shitty). And the poor people that use their condition of "poor" to awake feelings of compassion on other people and get what they want in the shameless way possible, that's the people that I dislike. Continuing with the second group, these people make a living out of other's charity and they take advantage of it. Let me put convincing examples, so I can show you want I trully mean. A parent sell things on the streets, if they don't get things bought they bring up the fact that they 8 kids to feed. Why in the hell you had 8 kids in the first place if you are that poor? And if that is not enough, they bring the 8 kids with them and they put them as well to sell things, and if they don't make enough money, they get beaten up. This is not new of course, and I consider this child slavery (because it is slavery) is not permitted (at least in my country). These kids should be in school studying. These guys that sell things in public buses are very popular. Many of them just ask for funds for a random organization that helps a abandoned children shelter house. When they get the money during the day, they usually open the piggies and take the money, it's been confirmed by the newspapers and local news. Using the name of God as an excuse of why I should give them money or buy whatever they are selling is often used, when it's obvious that they are trying to manipulate us. And the people like this woman that was outside of my house who takes advantage of a kindhearted action of other person, when the cleaning lady gave her a cup of coffee and crackers to eat, she still asked for money to buy gas....Seriously, tell me if that is correct to do. Why didn't she asked her to buy her a house instead. Now, I hope you get my reasons, and though I know this will not save me, at least you can be open minded enough to understand me. I'm not a snobby person, I don't firmly believe that I am better that anyone else. I don't have a maid, I have to do home chores, like washing the dishes. I've been taught that money don't come off of trees and that I have to work to get what I want, I have my feets on the ground and I know that if I want a bloody WiiU mommy and daddy will not get it for me, if I want one, I'll have to get it myself. In fact, when I didn't get something when I was a child I never made embarrassing scenes to my parents, if I couldn't get something because it was too expensive or they said no, I accepted it. Now, the poor people (the first group) to believe in this, and what to be successful in one future have my complete respects like I mentioned in my other blog's comments. Because they started with nothing and ended with everything. Now if you still believe that I am a fucking asshole, you should see this MTV's show called "My super sweet 16", I've never seen such as spoiled brats as this bitches who just don't get pleased with anything and they are just disrepectul to their parents and friends. At least I'm grateful for what I have and it doesn't hurt myself a bit to say "I'm sorry" or "thank you" Well, many will not read because this entry was too long, but I'll use it as a way to say sorry to whoever I offended and that my last blog was poor in content and objetivity.
  2. I quickly became the biggest asshole in the forums, I cannot do anything else than accept it, I deserve it.
  3. never saw the movie, so I can't give an opinion
  4. owww (why the hell you change your username that much!!?!) no way I can be meaner than you
  5. I'm very naive as well, and your comment makes a lot of sense, maybe the people that annoys me are beggers, because there are a lot of poor people that are an inspiration to society, how they literally came out of the shithole they were into and worked to the bone to have a better life, these people have my respects. now I ask wut... I'm taking into consideration that you have no idea that Panama even existed before, so it's not true when you say those things. This country is not a rathole, and it's in fact, the most productive country in all Central America, despite the fact of our size. Now I'm not defending it, and I'm not rich by any means, but I am not poor either, let's say I am economically stable enough to live a confortable life. I don't know you, I don't know how mean you are.
  6. I have no excuse for the way I think, I consider you a very close friend even if you were homeless. But we all have corruption inside of us, no matter what kind, but as a difference I decided to share this while other people don't say anything because of fear of rejection and whatnot. I hope you can forgive me if I offended you.
  7. what you didn't understand
  8. 'Ello everypone, welcome to another episode of Motion Spark's rants. I'm going to talk about poor people, now, If you think that I'm always likable and overall a good guy I'm going to confess to y'all something that it may me look like a total scumbag. I don't like poor people (I don't hate them all, but I just have a lot of disconfort with them at first sight), yeah I said it, they actually bother me, their presence it's annoying to me and I can't be around them for much time, especially if they smell bad or are ugly, or don't have nice clothes. Just a couple of minutes ago, some sort of an old random woman came to my house asking for something to eat. The cleaning lady was outside, and I was sitting with my laptop on the kitchen table. As soon as I hear that annoyingly soothing voice calling "heeeeello". My blood started to boil, and I started to get stressed because I have very little pattience of these people who asks for things from house to house, to rob or sell things that we obviously don't need. I stood up and looked through the window to see who was this person, while the cleaning lady went to the porch to see what the hell she wanted, then she came inside and told me that this woman was hungry, that she would get her some coffee, I rolled my eyes, and told her, go get the coffee I'll watch her, like as if I was expecting her to pull out a gun or a knife to threaten us to give everything we own. My mom taught me to not to trust in anyone. While she was waiting outside the house, my eyes never left her while I was looking at her, with despise. Yes, I despised her already, I was thinking. "Why she wasted her life like that, to end up asking for food in random houses?", "why is she so poor?", "where in hell is she going to sleep tonight?", "why my house, damnit!". Then the cleaning lady came out with a cup of coffee (the cup was disposable of course) and a pack of crackers and she gave them to her. I even hated the way she drank that coffee. If I was home alone, I would probably wouldn't make any sound or just hide so she would thought that the house was empty. Yes, I'm THAT dickhead. Also, I can't stand these people who sell things on the streets, or in buses, I think they annoy the hell out of the drivers and passengers who are already stressed with their own problems. And on top of that, if they can't get people to buy their crap they start to mention God or mention how shitty their life is in order to manipulate the weaker of the minds so people can "feel touched" by their stories and naively buy their crap (by crap I meant, crappy stickers, crappy pens or pencils, crappy gums, crappy keychains, crappy everything!). But I'm not buying that bullshit. Also I remember telling my neighbours friends when I was much younger, that I would be ashamed if my dad was a taxi driver, they called me an asshole for saying that, but that was what I trully meant. I fill my mouth saying that I'm humble, down to earth and whatnot, but by no means I would accept to live under a hard economical situation, I guess I am an spoiled kid, which I never dared to call myself. I have no right to judge these people because I'm ignorant of what things they are going through and how hard their life is, and I learned in church (wow! I'm quoting church), that I should not give my back to any person because that person could be Jesus in disguise, and I just feel so bad to be THIS judgemental but I just can't help it. Am I right to be like this about them? am I wrong? you know it's an internat battle between morals, justice and what's right and what's wrong. But at the same time it's just not fair to put their children to sell things for them. I don't remember the last time I went to the McDonald's auto-mac without encountering kids trying to sell shit to me, and if I refuse to buy, they say that they are hungry and they want money. I always ended up giving them some coins, but it's obvious that they are being manipulated by adults because their words are so mechanical it's very clear they've learned what to say when people don't want to buy their shit. Is this they way they want to succeed in life, their parents teach them to ask for money, and that's what are they gonna do for the rest of their lives. That's the part that make me dislike poor people, because they are not hungry for this world, they don't strive for success. They want everything given to them in their hands, since it's more easier to ask for money. I'll say FUCK THEM ALL, they can be anything they want but they just prefer to have the easier way to get an income. UPDATE: The cleaning lady just told me that after she drank her coffee, she was shameless enough to ask for money to buy a gas barrel. See my point here? I'm even more pissed to poor people now
  9. oh, yeah...hated it Have you ever eaten some plate of food out of courtesy but deep inside you hated it, and ended up eating it all despite the fact that it was disgusting?
  10. I'm not mad if that was your true intention. In fact, if you permit me, I want to point out a few flaws. (I was about to do it anyways even without your permission) your OC's cute mark seems like it doesn't belong into the picture, perhaps the gradients colors are too different, and it is not applied correctly. In fact, I think I've never seen a cutie mark with so much gradient. The fore hoof that it's touching Rarity's butt, is incomplete, where is the beginning of it? overall is a pretty good vector. It has to be very easy to trace one of "Wonderbolts Academy" scenes, and use Thunderlane's body as a base. Very good PFFFFT! keep dreaming, actually your christmas vector, in which I didn't comment was much better compared to this one.
  11. lol dragon, I think we all know here by a fact that your grandma is obese, you always mention it, no need to apologize XD
  12. Sweetie Belle's sqweaky voice HNNNNNNG!!!

      oh dear lord she's so cute!!! dat voice, can't handle it

  13. "I respect your privacy by knocking the door but I'm asserting my authority as a parent by comming in anyway" every parent do that, why not yours, knocking only is overrated.
  14. @@Feather Spiral, it's funny how you want everyone's babies but it is Viscra who end up carrying them XD HEY Kirsten, why do you look so stiff during red carpets? :< I so wish your dad would come in while you are doing this and he makes some of these faces:
  15. I think we should assume of what it is provide in the show, we never saw a phone in the show for what I know, so we shouldn't have phones in the RP. Imagine, if we add phones, then we would have TV, internet and whatnot (though Electrobolt and Amber passion for videogames should be an exception) just wondering, if you guys noticed my post lol XD
  16. I edited my post silly! I meant Clarity That I think that you are overreacting by thinking that you are a waste of human flesh, that you are a useless piece of crap that is not good at anything and other stuff you mentioned in your blogs.
  17. if you are a dick about it, that would show your true colors and insecurities because you fear to lose against Clarity. One of my opponents is Shankveld, she's 10 times more popular than I am, and she's a girl....so if she gets picked more times than me, there's nothing else I can do other than accept it, it's other people's opinion after all. I understand myself (enough for both of us ;9)
  18. I paid more attention to the hat, what kind of hat is that, it's very good looking
  19. it's not working what? I'm confisued, I'm just stating my opinion. I think you don't like the fact that many people think that Clarity is a fervent fan of Applejack. in fact you are making yourself look bad. you just need somepony who can give you a big shake and then you can come back to reality.
  20. what a beautiful video <3
  21. Allthough Beat Spark heard the mare's story he was just focused on that fact that she didn't bring the things that he asked for. Her words had no effect on him, however he just stared at her. When she finished talking, he felt like saying something, but as soon as he was about to open his mouth, Jade interrumpt getting into the car levitating a plate of some sort with his green aura... Beat wasn't happy for such a response, but what caught more his attention was the presentation of the tray. He thought it was disgusting, the tray was all wet with water spilled on it, instead of a glass he got a very tiny plastic-made cup with a coffee stirrer in it, and the 2 pills were directly touching the tray. He then looked back at the mare with despise, but Draco got in the way and said to him This chaotic train ride finally got a possitive turn to it. "Thank You Draco" Beat replied to him "But I think I'm gonna rest for a while. I still feel a bit of pain" he said while he let out a long yawn. "wow, excuse me for that!" Despite the fact that it was unaceptable the way he got this tray, he was too tired to think. "perhaps these pills will also help me to sleep" He took both of the pills and ziped the water in the cup. Then placed the tray on the floor and rest his head on his seat, and sooner than later he dozed off. .... ZZZZ .... couple of hours later (it's past afternoon, almost at night) Beat opened his eyes.... There was a lot of silence in the train, all other ponies were sleeping. It was dark but a lot of light was comming from the windows, He looked at his window, and saw one of the most beautiful sunsets he has seen ever. He couldn't help but smile right away. Involuntarily, he started to move his hooves, forgetting that hours before he was completelly paralized by the power of Draco's talismans. He then noticed he was covered by a very warm red blanket. "Who put this on me?" he asked to himself. "It's red" he thought, then he kind of knew who was the owner of this blanket. "Draco" he mumbled, while he slightly grinned. He moved his hooves again but this time he tried to reach the floor. With a bit of struggle he managed to stand up without falling and he slowly started to walk up to Draco's seat while grabbing the blanket with his mouth. As soon as he got near Draco, he covered him with the blanket and mumbled: "Thank You" while he smiled. "I need a bath! URGENT!" He thought to himself. With more effort he walked to his saddlebag. Nosing through his stuff he grabbed a towel and placed it on his back. He let out a subtle "OUCH!" while he turned his neck. "Hmmm...I guess I'm not fully recovered, I must be more careful". He took off his very heavy golden necklace and took off this gentlecolt boots. "I need new boots" he said while he looked at them. With very small bursts of pain through his spine, Beat walked 2 cars back in where the bathroms were. He took one stall, and opened the shower. The stream of hot water felt very refreshing agaisnt his fur. He closed his eyes and started to meditate about all the things that happened today. In his thoughts was this pegasus royal guard that saved them from the other royal guards. "Why did he help us?", "does he needs something from us? I mean it was very easy to get all of us arrested while he were there." He soaped his body and he was very careful in the way he washed his injuries. "I don't want to end up with any scar" he thought while he washed. "#$"#$&/" Beat heard a very strange sound nearby the stalls. He quickly opened the upper door of the stall. "Is somepony there?" He asked very suspicious.
  22. back off Clarity I got this! do you remember Clarity and AJ fan-art? it was very bad art (sorry Clari) BUUUUUUUT ...that drawing got so many brohoofs it was ridiculous, I think she got like 25 or something. Can you please explain to me that event Spakxzi? Her popularity on the forum and love for Applejack gained her that ridiculous amount of brohoofs, so that's another reason why she is best Applejack fan (in the forums that is)...but that doesn't mean that you can't be a fan of hers too. I don't know how to explain it, when Clarity posts about Applejack is so wicked genuine, truthfull and sincere, it's not that you don't have those things, but she tries harder.
  23. ummm, how many kind of trains we are using? do they have baths or showers? actually that comes in handy.
