  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

What's on your mind?

Twilight's an easy dislike for many :p but I enjoy it

Well, I always say, when it comes to games/books/films if you can find something that may normally be hated and heavily criticized, yet you somehow find a bit of personal happiness in it, then more power to you. Because at the end of the day you will still be better off than if you instead just spent your online life griping about it all of the time ... like I do with Final Fantasy XIII. :eek:

It's hard not to complain about MLP:FIM when it literally took over the internet a few years ago. Every website I went to, ponies. Back in the 1980's, if a guy in high school or college admitted to liking MLP, he would have gotten his butt kicked. Now, it's considered perfectly acceptable for God knows what reason.

I hate My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It's a show made for little girls and somehow managed to gain a fan base of pimply man children who live in an over-idealized fantasy world instead of reality.


Well, kinda. I don't personally watch it myself (in fact, I may like it if I ever took the time to sit downa nd give it a shot), but I do know a few guys around my age who do and, personally, they seem well-adjusted enough to me. I even applaud them for going against the grain and the stigma of grown men liking "cute" things. Better to find inspiration and personal joy in something genuinely lovely and good like, well, friendship and love - which I assume is what the Ponies are all about - than in violent and vulgar crap.

Who would I be to judge, anyway? K-On! and Cardcaptor Sakura are two of extremely few animes that I am totally a fan of. About the only way you could get more cutesy and innocent than them is, probably, My Little Pony. :confused: They just ... sort of bring me a few moments of a sense of peace and calm in the middle of a life that - for all of my positivity and naivety (as perceived by some others IRL) as a person - really can suck a lot of times. And that suits me just fine. ^-^

Just thought I'd give my two cents on that since you brought it up.



.... I do not believe my face to be terribly scarred by the red curse of acne, though. @YankeeGirl saw my face in person recently. She will vouch for me. ^_^

I kind of figured guys are still getting their butts kicked even now if it is discovered that they are MLP fans, although maybe to a lesser frequency. I don't mind if it is more accepted, now, because, well, it shows that in some ways the world is in fact bringing us fewer jerks of human beings than it used to. While in other specific ways, unfortunately, people do in fact worsen in personality. :/

Lol. I guess we all have our non-stereotypical preferences in movies and tv shows.

I grew up loving hardcore spaghetti westerns. Clint Eastwood in his poncho was a favorite of mine, haha. The Good the Bad and the Ugly is still my favorite western and one of my all time favorite movies.

OMM: I wish this stomach whatever it is would go away! It's hard to be motivated to do anything when you feel gross. Blah.

In other news! I hope everyone is having a great morning so far. :)

I gotta love God's sense of humour. I've been a bit down and angry about being single and living life like I'm just spinning my wheels. And I go to Facebook and over 50 friend requests from a majority of women just asking me if I'm single and how old I am etc. Here Bortsss are your quail. Remember. Don't complain. Lol

Praying for you Traveler, please feel better soon! :pray: I like your idea for gift wrapping too-very creative!

I'm having a good morning, it's almost time to get back to drawing. I hope everyone's day goes well! ;)
