I knew it. I knew someone was going to make a MLP thread eventually. And look what happened!

Can't really say I care for the series, if anything. Nothing special, in my eyes.

yeah, it's a modern tv show. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony:_Friendship_Is_Magic) People on the internet take a (possibly obsessive?) interest to it and it weirds others out sometimes.

Post by: Scyphi on July 26, 2011, 06:56:02 AM
The show actually is pretty creative though, with a good cast of characters (despite being predominately female) and good voice acting, so I think some of the attention it's gotten is deserved. Granted, some of the obsessiveness of it all is a bit much.

...having said that, I don't suppose anybody is going to believe me now if I said that I haven't watched the show...because I obviously have. :P

I could really care less about the series. I just don't get how many people have fallen in love with it, it's a girls' show for goodness sake.  :-X Just my opinion.

But hey, here I am pretending I'm some furry fox thing, and I'm sure there's lots of people who find that weird. Oh well.  :)

I don't think you guys get it... It's supposed to be a trolling thing, it's not that they actually like the show. Because my little pony is so horribly irrelevant to most gaming forums (EVE for example). EVE also had a... slightly different variant one night that I can't go into here that proved without a doubt that the mods were indeed asleep.

heh, it's easy to assume this, and probably what some want to assume, but in general, it isn't true. "bronies" often are actually very interested/obsessed with the show and, sometimes, they get a bit "noisy" about it, heh.

while the stuff at the EVE online forum could possibly be trolling, it must be stated that the interest in general is actually present.

Although I don't feel like I will become obsessed with it, I may watch one or two episodes from time to time.

Wow, I wasn't aware of the Downs Syndrome screening. I suppose it's trying to save people a lot of hardship even if it's maybe not the right way to do it.
I wonder if it might be better to have detection as an optional thing and let the parents decide whether to make use of it.
Is that a Ford Mustang? I think I'd rather have the new Corvette if I could ever afford it, lol. Either way, there's no dealership for either in this country, I don't think.

Yes, I think the Corvette (the new one) is the best American car I've seen ... and maybe the best car, full stop, actually. I have no real affinity to Italian supercars and the like. Maybe I'm getting old but they look ridiculous to me.

Post by: Crash on July 28, 2011, 04:35:04 AM
Are you living in Denmark? I'm not sure what the position is in the UK on it, quite frankly.
I mean, it is a parental decision as to whether you even want to find out about it (or at least it should be) and if people do, then ... so be it and they can make any subsequent decisions informedly and without the knowledge having been forced upon them.

I'm not especially for-or-against abortion but I think the rate that it has reached is tantamount to a national scandal (at least in the UK) and I suspect a 'number-of-lives' should probably be introduced because some people see it as part of their lifestyle (like cosmetic surgery or going for a spa treatment almost) and have anything up to 8+ abortions. They don't even seem to recognise that the procedure doesn't just affect their body but ends the life of a human, irrespective of it not being fully completed and aware.
Therefore it might be just as well to cap it at ... 3 procedures, say but then what about all the irresponsible would-be parents after that limit?
I suppose you could say "You get 3 state-funded operations and then ... either you have a preventer implant or ... you pay".

I took a mini-pupillage at a barristers chambers last week and the amount of clearing up after aimless individuals is just unbelievable. Some ruin their lives, expect everyone to pick up after them and then they're not happy with that either (sometimes understandably) so it all gets dragged through the courts with all the expense entailed being picked up by ... Mr John J. taxpayer.
Having said that, there were a lot of extenuating circumstances with these folk ie. mental health, severe problems with their own upbringing but it's also a question of putting the onus on individuals rather than the state and saying "Well, hang on. You take responsibility for your own actions".
Title: Re: This forum doesn't have one of these yet??
Post by: Kaiaatzl on July 28, 2011, 04:48:14 AM
Nah, I'm Canadian (though I also happen to be an EU citizen because my father was born in the Czech Republic).  But as someone with a disability (not Down's though) I'm pretty strongly against controlling births like this.  After all, I wouldn't want to have been aborted would I?

I don't really much care about abortion either and that's not actually the biggest problem I see.  The point is this:

Down's syndrome is genetic but it's not hereditary -- it's a trisomy of chromosome 21, that can happen to any family, no matter the genes.  It's not like, by controlling it, you'll make it go away for good -- it truly can happen to anyone.  The only answer to this is continuous monitoring of whenever anyone is going to have a child.  It is easy to test for, and spot, a trisomy.  However (and let me say here I have no idea what kind of health-care system Denmark has), there is the issue of poor families, who may not be able to afford the test, or may be able to afford the test but not be able to afford birth control.  Suddenly they're not allowed to have children, because they can't be screened.
Title: Re: This forum doesn't have one of these yet??
Post by: Crash on July 28, 2011, 05:13:52 AM
Well that is a truly disastrous system from our perspective here as any screening of that kind would have to be a no-cost option (if it were offered at all) and if you, as the parent, decided that you didn't want the child saddled with whatever condition it was, the termination would then also be at no cost.

So the idea of imposing a test, the information provided by which, some people can't afford to act on, is absolutely unbelievable.

Czech Republic was a fun place when I went there a few times. I meant to venture in as far as Prague but I decided against travelling there on my own when they didn't seem to readily speak English or German (from what I could determine from nearer places that I visited). The closest I could manage was Russian and I haven't spoken that in 5 years.
I formed the opinion after some guy tried to steal my much-loved XDA phone in some place I visited when I asked him for directions.
I had met a friend that year called Anna and she would get irritated at my habit of calling the place "Tschechoslowakei" rather than the current "Tschechien" just out of sheer old habit as a native English speaker.

Didn't say they weren't there, just that the cast is still very predominately female. Odds are pretty good that when ever a new character is introduced, it'll be female.

At least, that's the pattern I've seen up to episode nineteen, which is as far as I've gotten thus far.

I can't survive....watching five seconds of it. It's....different! What do they do all day? What is the point or the plot? What's the danger? Who's the bad guy? Why?

Must listen to mood music and get my mind thinking reasonably again.

As I recall, the bad guy happens to be one of these guys* (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Nightmare_%28Final_Fantasy%29)

*may not actually be a physical human guy

So I actually started watching the pilot... I'm about 30 minutes in right now and I can't believe I'm actually sort of enjoying it.

I think that's everybody's reaction at first, and there are more than one episode where it isn't at all as "girly" as you'd expect, but just flat-out entertaining. In fact, I swear whoever wrote this episode (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6E2F7E8dCfk&feature=related) is a Star Trek TOS fan. :P

My exact statement was...

Quote from: Scyphi
Oh wait, drat, I told myself I wasn't actually going to admit that!

...which was to say (jokingly) that I didn't intend on actually admitting that I was enjoying the show, at least initially.  ::)

I was actually already in the process of watching the series before this thread began.

Um, a little like The Trouble with Tribbles (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0708480/), but I would say more like Gremlins (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087363/).

*considers this*

Mmm, maybe, but I still say the parallel to "Trouble With Tribbles" is larger.
