Depends on where they are.
Depends on where they are.
ive already said im not posting for a pro Pony thread as it wouldnt be for me, not as a favour to you guys.
no I dont like the attitude of the thread, at the moment, the attitude about thread bombs is very telling.I just love how Wabmue or whatever, hates the show so much and seems to positively dispise this thread, yet keeps on coming back here to respond to us over and over again as if it'll change anything, when he didn't even start the thread, which is a Pony thread to being with
But hey, I have over 600 of these bombs, growing by about 20 per day now, if he wants to keep this up until the end of Season 2 a year from now, thats fine by me.
A discussion is not won by having the most "thread bombs"
No.. not really. Not for something out of the blue. If it were something like a science thread i would.
The "watch what" was more for dramatic effect anyway.
This thread was already resolved long before you posted in it to be honest, we started having some fun, you turned up and started going all grumpy old man on us, its hardly our fault if you get the responce you engender with your repeated pole-up-ass attitude of your own. *shrugs*

Yes, that really is Miles Jupp.I was at university with him.
I love Balamory! I'd say Penny, Edie and PC Plum would probably do fine in the real world. Not so sure about everyone else though
And anyway my watch what got a video posted and now people are all giddy about it! [topic change anyone?]
that is hardly worth bragging about.
Maybe in the future ill just decide that people who let memes talk for them, are not worth talking to.
To think I was nice about the flaming.
trampledamage would we really want PC Plumb involved in riot policing?

Pinky tumble!
Pinky tumble!
Fluttershy does not look happy
And as for the memes, well if someone has already made up their mind to hate the show, I will not waste my time arguing with that stuck up person, if they want to submit themselves to hundreds of bombs for no other reason than stubborness, they get the heart attack they deserve.
Since when did i let the meme talk for me? I don't really consider the a meme anymore.. its a way of life (o.o)
where have I said I hated the show, ive not seen the showed, ive simply said that its totally unrealstic in the real world for people to be nice all the time, and that humans evolved hate for a reason.Pinky tumble!

I also said about memes that often get in the way of good communcation, and serve as a distraction.
I am going to log off now, make my tea, but its for that reason alone.
could you please tell that to Chemahkuu
He means me, because I could only really bring myself to post Pony pictures in responce to his unreasonable attitude to the show. I mean as if Doctor Who is the bastion of depth and complexity and never ever at all becomes childish and shows good winning over evil or anything like that.
i still think ponies are shit. and i started this thread, so if y'all don't like it...
GET THE HELL OUTTA MY THREAD!

I have two points on this matter:
Firstly, no pony is nice all of the time in the world of Equestria. Watching the show, you can see that the ponies there run the full gamut of emotions from elation to depression and everything in between. The point of the show is that one's friendship with others can weather such storms if it is based on loyalty, compassion, humor, etc.
Secondly, that's no reason to dislike a show. I'm a fan of Dr. Who, and I fully realize it's a fictional environment where people behave differently than they would here in the real world. That doesn't lessen my enjoyment of the show as long as the rules that bind that world are kept fairly consistently.
Memes are a way for people to join in on something they see as fun. The memes are harmless, and memes are no more distracting to human communication than any other form of media.
Aggression =/ hatred. I think that's a critical mistake you're making.
Because they're nice or because they're poorly written?
Yeah, me too. In fact, I find it kinda weird that a big Who fan like yourself is so anti-optimism, wamdue; I don't know if I can think of a modern live action show that's more grounded in optimism, compassion, loyalty, etc. and opposed to hatred and violence.
if only that was reflected in how the fans preach about the friendship and love of Ponies, in discussions about the show.
I would hardly say they have been helpful to this thread.
I would say one has "flamed" but apparntly Chemahkuu doesnt think that is possible
I had not realised I had been going around taking the same attitude towards Doctor Who that you apparntly have with My Little Pony.I mean as if Doctor Who is the bastion of depth and complexity and never ever at all becomes childish and shows good winning over evil or anything like that.
I had not realised I was talking about how Doctor Who stands for peace & love, but at the same time, using it to flame people.
this kind of beahaviour backs up what ive said before about Pony discussion of any kind being allowed only in TNZ.
sorry to double post this
however haterd can lead to anger.
because I struggle to see how such an over whelmingly postivite outlook, can have the same results in real life, as it does in a TV show, which is normally written to have some kind of happy ending, or even just an endnig. Life has no endings, sure we change jobs, we leave school, we get married, get divorced, but there are no cliff hangers, no spin-offs, life goes on regardless of anyones attempt to tie a neat story telling ribbon on it.
cant speak for anybody else, but I dont take the moral code of a TV show out into the real world, be that a good or bad moral code. Maybe the show informs me on a level, but lifes problems are rarely solved by quoting Doctor Who.
According to Yoda, you've got that backwards.
Anyway, anger can lead to hatred, true - but desire can lead to obsession. I can see the benefit to anger and aggression - but hatred? That's something deeper and more seething.
Well, life does have an ending actually - you will die, and will hopefully near the end have the chance to look back over your life. At the very least (if you're a believer in a next life) life ends and changes. And it probably won't have the same results as in tv, this is true - but a positive outlook can surely have positive results, if on a lesser scale.
Pfft. I, for one, solve many problems by yelling "Allons-y!" And it never hurts to say "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry."
But anyway, the art we produce can and does reflect and inform our values. There's the famous (if apocryphal) story of Martin Luther King's conversation with Nichelle Nichols about Uhura as just one example. So I appreciate it when the Doctor tries to find non-violent solutions, or Angel says that it's the struggle that matters. Realism and presenting things "the way they are" is important, but the message you choose to send is important too.
Not that there's anything wrong with just entertainment as entertainment, of course.
