Why people dislike "neutrals"

@@Steel Accord,

I believe in friendship.

:muffins:

What is your stance on MLP?  On being a Brony?  On acts of kindness?  On...  Not murdering people lol?  On eating babies?  I get it if someone is religion neutral or politics neutral.  But perfect, ultimate apathy would not a perfect life make.  There's something that matters to just about anyone; I believe that.

I can answer those.

In a PM.

 

I see your point.

 

 

That's not nothing, so you can't get rid of that can you?

I think I just blew it actually.

:lol:

Why? Do you suddenly not care about maintaining harmonious relationships?

:o

I do.

I'm just afraid my recent few days of bad mood will alienate people from me.

Don't sweat it my friend, everypony has their bad days. Real friends will recognize you are just out of sorts and know that you just need some time.

 

After all,

Please tell me your stance on baby-eating!  The suspense is killing me lol.  You don't really have to answer any of my silly questions.  And I'm not saying that you have to change or that there's something wrong with you or any such thing.  I was just encouraging you to care, in my own weirdo way.  Which involved baby-eating.

I hope so.

I got a big blow now.

I'm KO!

 

Staying neutral does not help progress at all. The least you can do if you don't side with someone is to be in constant conflict with them.

I don't really care about progress.

We're supposed to be a society here not every man for himself... Not caring has lead the world where it is...

I can't even influence a tv cartoon.

You are overestimating me.

Well being self-centered doesn't mean the same thing as being selfish. Not going out of your way to help others is fine, but actually causing harm do to only caring about yourself is not.

I think you're underestimating yourself. Each one of us are far more important and capable than we realize. The connections and friendships we build only facilitate that importance.

If you had more help then you could. Anything is possible...

No that's simply the difference between being actively selfish and not being actively selfish. Doesn't matter still... the mentality in itself is harmful and won't get you anywhere. The least you can do is acknowledge others and consider the consequences of your actions to them... your "neutral" stance ((not "yours" but you get what i mean)) against things and you being unwilling to take action hampers those who do try to take action.

"If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem." I get what you are saying, but just because someone isn't particularly empathetic doesn't mean they are indifferent to the suffering of others. Someone can just do their job and that's what they contribute to society. Nothing wrong with that. Different strokes for different folks.

But personally I am not interested in society things at all.
The jungle is the only solution for you then :/

No i get it... it isn't that you don't care... it is that you don't care enough. But if it affects you to an extent YOU SHOULD care.

Dude! "The Jungle?!" That's a little harsh for a fellow brony isn't it? I suppose if somepony didn't want to do Winter Wrap Up, would you just banish them to the Everfree and say "good luck"?!

I don’t feel the same way: but I don’t see why being neutral is a bad thing, with some things it’s probably a good idea to do the fact finding missions and using the power of thought before deciding that such and such is what you think.

I hate people who hate neutrals. Together we form a strong bond between each other, a bond of seething hatred and jihads.

I'm pretty neutral to religion..... Just keep your beliefs to yourself and don't shove them down my throat and we will get along.

It's best not to talk aboot politics with me.... Sence my stance on politics has me comparing our government to something that might find its way coming out of the back end of a cow.

Milk? What's bad about milk?

I am sorry if it sounded harsh but i didn't say it with hard feelings. I have no power as to banish anyone of society. You know what they call creatures that feed upon others but don't care about them at all? Parasites... I guess however that if you don't harm the one next to you you are allowed to care however much you want. As for the MLP comparison if somepony didn't want to do Winter Wrap Up i would simply leave their house with snow and stuff all winter and just let them live their lives alone. If you don't like the jungle go somewhere where you can live a hermit... hell "Go primitive" if you like i heard its a nice trend.

No Comrade.

As far as politics go you can't be neutral... because being neutral means you're being a puppet of the rest. As far as religion goes and sexuality and whatnot these are preferences limited to the individual... however if you do not care about the suffering of your Neighbour then he/she is likely not to care about you at all. You'll be treated how you treat others...

You can care and be willing to do something to help others in need around you while still not especially caring for the system built around those people. Making things like politics into an issue for yourself doesn't necessarily mean you'll be any good at it, you can easily get caught up in some cause or another, lose sight of the big picture, and be just as useless as you would have been if you hadn't done a damn thing in the first place. People have different tolerances for different things, we can't all be incredibly proactive. As long as each individual is at least trying to be a good person in whatever way they can then that's fine.

You may choose to leave their house that way, but other ponies won't, I know I wouldn't.

 

You're also only a parasite if your life is hurting someone else. If you do your job, whatever function that's fulfilling, then you're contributing.

I strongly disagree with whoever says remaining neutral equivalates to not taking a stance. It's really a matter of circumstance, but who says there HAS to be a "right" side? Sometimes being neutral and not siding with either faction (when both are WRONG) is just as significant as picking an opinion. Sure, systems like laws exist that tell you what to do. But nobody is allowed to tell you what to think. It's up to you to make that decision.

 

I'm sorry, that's just my view.

 

Edit: ...meant equivalates, not equivocates.

I feel strongly about many such things, but I will not bother to try to convince people. I'm a little worried if you can possibly be neutral with the way things are now, but it's up to you.

Sig made by Kyoshi.

Cool things people have said about me:

Never heard of him but I guess just you mentioning him is a good reason not to go anywhere near that name.

(In reference to an author I suggested.)
