I explore different subjects with logic and reason. Do not take anything I say personally... If you find a hole in my logic, please tell me so I may fix it.
Things on this blog do not represent my current thoughts and mindset. My beliefs are quiet different now. Maybe I'll eventually clean up this one and make a new one. Who knows.
Kindness isn't the only thing that makes a hero. It's opportunity. Heck, if I was in Jesus's shoes, I would do what he did 15 times over to achieve the same results. I would feel a lot of pain but I would save everybody else the need to feel eternities of pain.
Now how am I not a hero? Its not because I'm not kind enough, and no I don't think I'm better than everybody else either.I'm sure A LOT of people would also agree to do the same considering the good things that came because of it. Of course there are people who wouldnt agree to die on the cross and other bad things, but there are always good and bad people. I also understand that many good people would simply be too afraid to agree but unless their in denial they still would.
Other examples are like Gandhi or anyone heroic you hear on the news. They simply had the opportunity to be good to many people, and they just happened to be in the right situation to become famous because of it.
Peeping is disgraceful, but I don't think it should be something to be punished for very seriously. Peeping doesn't hurt anyone, unless the peeper is caught; then both the peeper and the one peeped will feel bad. The peeper will be afraid and feel hated by the other. The one peeped will feel violated and hate the other.
But if the peeper isn't caught, then what? Then no one has been hurt. The one peeped will be as if nothing ever happened, and the peeper feel pleasure. Pleasure is a positive emotion. If the peeper isn't caught, the events are positive as only happiness was achieved.
I don't support it at all, but that's only because humans feel the need to feel uncomfortable when someone sees their skin. I think it's that trait that is odd, and really it's the human tendency to feel negatively about things that don't affect them negatively in any way besides that feeling, that I find strange and bad. But that's just the way we are.
Also, if you don't want to be peeped on, then at least protect yourself properly. Go buy some blinds or curtains or something...
The only thing I can be 100% certain of (no rounding) is that I exist. Not necessarily my body, or even most of my mind. Everything else could be fake, but I can feel, therefore in some shape or form, I exist.
It's a lame excuse to say that it's right to eat and hurt animals just because they do it themselves to each other. Are you really stooping down to their level? Animals aren't angels, I'm not gonna lie, they're just low dirty beings. And so are you if you willingly step down to their level and believe everything they do is right. But yet you think you're so different from them? So why in the world are you considering yourself to be so high and mighty if you act as they do, and excuse your own actions because they do the same? Are you like them or not? Nothing deserves pain.
If your not a vegetarian/vegan, and you don't support animal rights, then don't tell people not to scare birds, because that is so insignificant compared to what your doing, I'm not even gonna say. Now chasing birds is bad yes, but that's not the point. You really have no right to tell them what to do at that point, because what your doing is likely way worse than what their doing.
Every year around 70 million animals are killed for experiments, 40 million are killed for fur, 200 million by hunters, 4 million in animal shelters, and about 10 billion land animals (and billions more aquatic animals), in the US or 58 billion worldwide are killed for human consumption every year. Most shampoos, toothpaste, cosmetics, and personal care products have all been tested on animals, which means the animals have been drugged, shocked, beaten, starved, burned and done other things to, in the various experiments done to them. In most cases the animals are rodents and chimpanzees, but many other animals are often used as well such as cats or birds. Then thereâs leather, which most people think is cool, but I dare to disagree. This applies to fur, wool, as well as silk. Most of the animals are skinned alive, after their beating, and sometimes even stay conscious for hours after being skinned, which keeps them in horrible pain, for a horrible amount of time. Often times chunks of their body come along with the skin, which is quite painful. Many animals, people rarely realize, have this done to them. Baby seals for example are beaten, hooked in the eye or cheek to avoid damage to the fur, are dragged across the ice, and are then skinned, of course all while still alive. Most fur though comes from China, where dogs and cats are bludgeoned, hanged and bled to death. This fur is often mislabeled, so it is hard to distinguishe it from other fur. Other animals victim to this are lizards, snakes, sheep, minks, and silkworms. Now for the worst, but most contriversial topic of all, meat. Almost everybody eats it, but it just happens to be the worst of all. Factory farms are responsible. There was a time where animals had a happy time roaming around fields eating and sleeping, but that time is no more. Nowadays animals cramped together in metal cages or pens where they can barely move or even lay down properly. The cages are rarely cleaned, meaning that the animals end up living in their own filth most of the time. The only time they ever get even close to fresh air or sunlight, is when their loaded into the trucks for slaughter. The animals are also loaded with antibiotics and growth hormones, resulting in growth at unnatural speed and size, resulting their legs to cripple under their own weight. Animals are beaten and eletrocuted to go and do where and what humans want, sometimes resulting in death. Animals too weak are often beaten to death. Pigs often experience stress-related behavior in highly crowded conditions, such as cannibalism and tail-biting. For identification purposes, young pigs have chunks of their ears cut off, and have id tags nailed on to them. They often have their tails cut off, and have the end of their teeth broken off with pliers. Many are badly stunned, and experience the scalding hot water baths. Chicken are forced into tiny wire cages where the floor is also wired which causes strain on their feet. These cages are crowded with chicken, so that they can barely move their wings. Their beaks are cut off to avoid them killing each other under their great stress, caused from all the pain. Egg laying chicken are forced to constantly lay eggs. Since the chickens are in wired grid cages, the eggs fall through the cage after coming from the chicken, into a processing system. Cowâs horns are cut off in a way that more than just the horns come off. They are forced to give many more times more milk, than natural. At the end of their lives, their throats are often slit, and they are left to die. Keep in mind that the animals have to endure this their whole lives! As if one day wouldnât be bad enough. All cruelty is of course done without any painkillers, as people donât seem to care about them, but they definitely should!
âAlthough other animals may be different from us, this does not make them LESS than usâ (2). Most people let this cruelty happen because in their minds âanimals are lesser than us, therefore we can do whatever we want to themâ. But âthe question is not, âCan they reason?â nor, âCan they talk?â but âCan they suffer?ââ (2). And let me assure you, they definitely can! While most animals are smarter than most people think, this should not be the main reason to stop hurting them. The reason you should stop hurting, beating, and torturing animals, is because they can feel every bit of it. They feel it when you hurt them, and you can bet the skinned animals are in great pain. Why should intelligence matter? It doesnât change the fact that they can feel pain. Now if you donât care about something or someone whos in great pain, you can truly consider yourself evil. So whats the cause of all of this? Why is this happening? The reason is, because of you! Yes you! Unless you donât use any animal products, you are the reason why. Everybody who buys animals products are indirectly hurting these animals in the ways mentioned. In exchange for them keeping an animal caged for its whole life, hurting it, and at the end, killing it and giving it to you, you are giving them money. In other words, your giving factory farms money, for the exchange of tortured animals. The only benefit to you is a single meal, that may be tastier than other options, but really for the exchange of all that pain? âPoor animals, how jealously they guard their bodies, for to us is merely an eveningâs meal, but to them is life itself.â (2).
âDominion does not mean domination. We hold dominion over animals only because of our powerful and ubiquitous intellect. Not because we are morally superior. Not because we have a "right" to exploit those who cannot defend themselves. Let us use our brain to move toward compassion and away from cruelty, to feel empathy rather than cold indifference, to feel animals' pain in our hearts.â (2). Theres only two ways to stop this cruelty. Either by force, or by the spread of compassion. People have already tried the former, making laws to stop abuse, however while it has made a significant difference, it has not been significant enough. People will always find ways around laws, and the only way to stop that from happening, is to get people understand why they shouldnât, through compassion and sympathy. Only through that can one look at a plate of meat, and feel sad. The way to stop this suffering, is by ending your contribution, and beginning to show others why they should too. Help others feel sadness for suffering and understanding for pain, then can only and truly, people be morally complete, and good at heart. Stopping meat consumption helps humans too, âa reduction of meat consumption by only 10% would result in about 12 million more tons of grain for human consumption. This additional grain could feed all of the humans across the world who starve to death each year- about 60 million people!â (2). So what can you eat without causing pain? Plenty of things. Most animal products have had nonanimal counterparts made to them. There are soy versions of meat, which taste just like meat, only their made of soy. Soaps and toothpaste may sometimes have a label saying âno animal testingâ or similar, indicating that very thing. Alternatives for milk include soy milk, almond milk, and rice milk. Almond milk is very nutrienous, while rice milk tastes just like real milk. Eggs for batter have replacements for them and such. Most people are afraid that they may not get enough protein from nonmeat diets, this however, isnât true. Soy contains plenty of nutriens already, and some companies add more because of this thought and belief. Spinach is also a great source of protein, while being just a plant, and what about beans and nuts? The only hard part about this diet, is that many products have meat, but it should become relatively easy to figure out what does and what doesnât. After all you have stopped contributing to life times of suffering, if you do this.
I certainly hope âthe time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.â (2). Animal cruelty is a terrible issue that hurts us all, and pain is the least thing we should want. The suffering happens all around us, every piece of chicken leads to death and suffering. People need to stop this and follow a path that will bring more happiness than not. This path is very accecible that almost only requires one to switch their diets. Only when this path is reached, can this world be a happy place once more. We are the cause of all this suffering, now we must to end it.
 What you think:
When people hear the phrase âMy Little Ponyâ, what comes to mind are the countless of pink and girly pony toy commercials, or one of the TV series about girly ponies having tea-parties and laughing hysterically at pointless things when it's not even funny. What comes to mind are toy ponies with hair brushes and playhouses and sets. What comes to mind is a show about ponies without a trace of conflict or plot to be found. Ponies that all act same and barely have any personality, while being overly loving and girly to one another. Ponies that like stereotypical things like fashion. What comes to mind is a franchise that no one except 6 year old girls, should even gaze upon.
Speculation:
There was a time when that was also what came to my mind whenever I heard some say âMy Little Pony.â Why would anyone besides little girls even watch such a show? That's so weird and freaky! I mean seriously, teens and adults watching a show for little girls? Whats up with that?! Just like most people heard of the older fans watching that show, I was weirded out. But what was in our minds was not the newest show of MLP, it was the toys, and the older generations of the show. What came to our minds was the 3rd generation, not the 4th one.
Lauren Faust:
The 4th generation changed everything. It was no longer the pink and girly show it was before. It was something much, much better! Ever since the director changed, the show stopped being horrible, and began being awesome. The new director that stepped in, was no other than Lauren Faust, the director of the âPowerpuff Girlsâ and âThe Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends.â Personally, I think her newest show âMy Little Pony: Friendship is Magicâ is way better than either of them, though it's been a long time since I watched either of those shows.
The Reality:
Everything is different now! There's actually a plot this time, and conflict in each episode. Things aren't all pink and girly anymore. The characters are all different now, and have a lot of depth in them. It's a genuinely good show now that anybody of any age can watch. It's a show, matching the quality of other shows such as Star Trek, except it's animated, and has ponies instead of humans. Big deal! In my opinion, the show is way better than most things on television these days. I was impressed by how much better the show was than I thought, after watching 3 episodes because people told me so. Surprisingly I wanted to watch more, but only casually. After watching a couple more episodes and truly realizing what the show was all about, I was hooked!
Explanation:
The voice actors, the animation, and all of the music, it's amazing! It's very pleasant to watch and listen to. But we're all after the plot right? Well good news, it exists! The new show always has conflict, whetever it's because of a dragon, an evil pony, or a conflict among the good ponies themselves, it's done well. Yes, the best friends have conflict between each another, but it works surprisingly well, and the characters interaction is very enjoyable. The characters are very varied too, from Fluttershy the animal loving shy pony, to Rarity the fashion designer and drama queen, all the way to Rainbow Dash the tomboyish pony, who manages to be awesome, even tho shes not exactly the modest kind. The show is a great mix of humor, and real conflict. So like I said, we don't watch the show for nothing.
Morals and Theme:
Besides being very entertaining and fun, the show has good morals too. Their about how you should act to keep your friendships together. Sounds cheesy and childish I know, but if you ask me, if anyone needs these lessons, then adults definitely need to learn, and start acting upon those. I've even heard stories of people gone out of depression by watching that show. The moral phrase all of us fans tend to go with, is âLove and Tolerateâ, and that's what most of us bronies go with.
The Community:
Bronies are MLP:FiM fans that are out of the demographic of the show, in other words teen and adult fans. Brony comes from bro and pony, regardless it's a unisex term. Pegasister is also used, but only for female fans. There are many, many millions of us fans out there, and our community is not only the most kindest and loving one you'll ever find, but it's also one of the most talented ones. However, lately the fanbase has gained some undesirable making the rest of us seem bad. The brony community has made countless of artistic drawings and pictures in very professional quality. We have also made professional fan-music and remixes, games, and very awesome fanfics, that are actually worth reading! It's worth being a brony just to experience the wonderful community we have shaped. When you meet a random brony and exchange brohooves (brofist in brony) you have instantly become friends! Most of the time anyway. So feel free to join us bronies in a wonderful quest for friendship. Trust me, you won't regret it!
Conclusion:
We have the one of the best shows and the awesomest community. Our show is pretty much a masterpiece, and our community is freaking wonderful. I tried to explain the show and it's fans in the best way I could, but it doesn't do justice. The only way to truly understand something is to experience it, so before you judge it, please do give it a chance and watch it. See if you like it. If you don't, then that's too bad. But if you do like it, then welcome to the herd!
TL;DR:
The show is better than you think.
Suggested First Time Episodes:
-Pilot: It's a good adventure introductory episode, but doesn't do justice.
-Ticket Master: It introduces the characters, and is a social episode.
-Dragonshy: It's an adventure episode.
-Winter Wrap Up: It's got a catchy musical song in it.
-Party of One: Most bronies favorite episode. Pretty girly, but gets pretty deep as well.
-Lesson 0: Pretty good episode. Far from being girly.
-Read it and Weep: Generally a very good episode. Indiana Jones Refrence.
-It'sAboutTime: A pretty interesting episode about time travel.
