I really want to show this to some people I know...you know, those people who hate all of the middle east because they think all Muslims are terrorists? Yeah, I sadly know some of them...

I used to be one of those type. Then I started having doubts like "Turkey seems to be doing fairly well so it can't be the religion itself...". Then I see this. Complete change of heart.

...really? This one picture changed your mind? My first impression, upon seeing that, is "Well, that's certainly not going to convince anyone who didn't already think that."

I'm the kind of person who sometimes needs a good kick in the head to get me thinking properly. Other times I need a reminder. So...yeah.

Nope, which is kinda sad considering if those people made a similar sign they would expect others to believe them.

Coda to aforementioned "People are stupid" rule:
-When defining "the other guys," people overgeneralize and oversimplify and often slap on any trait that they feel does not apply to themselves, thus defining themselves in relation to "the other guys" by being not them. (And then comes the genocide/crimes against humanity) Almost everyone does this, and it's not something to beat yourself up for; it's just something to be aware of and to try to stop.

That said, funnily enough, the person with the most extreme views I've heard on what to do about the Middle East is a friend from Iraq - he claims the best road to peace involves nuking most of it, his own country included. I'm not sure what step two is. =P It's sometimes a leeeetle bit hard to tell when he's being serious and when he's being a Lord Commissar.

*BLAM* HERSEY! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT LORD COMMISSARS ARE ALWAYS JUSTIFIED IN THEIR ACTIONS, AND NEVER MAKE BAD JUDGEMENTS FOR THEY CARRY THE WILL OF THE EMPEROR!!!!!!

Good news everyone! My Phone has finally been upgraded to the 4.1.1 platform. What does that mean? It means that I now get a reliable 4G internet connection through my phone. This is most exciting. A down side to the 4.1 upgrade is its incompatibility with FOXFi mobile hotspot Applications. This means I had to go back to using the trusty old USB tether program. Not to worry friends, I have it connected to the USB3.0 slot in the hopes the data will transfer rapidly. As you ll may know, this is most exciting as I have had real problems with the cellular operating properly in LTE. So everyone lets give a big cheer to Jelly Bean.

@String: (Links) ... really? (Where is the facehoof emote you guys?) Tried zooming in? You know? By left clicking it?

@O.Hinds: (Fo3) Ah, must've missed that part. And well, mine can start a new game, the game just randomly freezes every now and then when I am playing.

(Spelling stuff) Okies. Will keep doing that then.

@Swicked: (radiation) ... we need a both facehoof emote, and a flip the table one.

@Camo: (Links) I personally quite liked Applejack, and RD. But yeah, was lots of silly in that :P (Pokey was also a gigglesnort for me xP)

@Kipper: (Ravage) Hehe, well, can be quite easily done :P (And augh! At least reply in order xD)

(House training) Don't ask me to use that, shit went wrong last time I did xD

(NV) Will hopefully get around to adding them :P

@Robo: (Remember) Tbh, the only thing I can recall of anything I was going to is the reason why I am dom. Really can't remember what the other thing was about ^^'

@Camo: (Pictures) *Pats* There, there x3

@EP: And just lastly, I actually can't recall if I tend to bring things like this up often or not, but anyhow: Really? Just finished checking all reviews, (to a decent degree) and none else pointed out or noticed (or well: thought to be exact) how dumb the whole death scene was?
And had two other decent points, but I forgot them, so eh... might go back and look later to remind myself. Though, I really have to learn to cut down on my text size.

@String: (Links) ... really? (Where is the facehoof emote you guys?) Tried zooming in? You know? By left clicking it?

yes , I know how to zoom in...and last time I checked, most browsers only have one level of click-zoom (click once to zoom in, click again to zoom out), so that takes the picture from tiny to slightly less tiny but still unreadable levels, I guess I could have zoomed in even further using the zoom function from the view menu, but I guess I'm a not-very-smart pony

I'm pretty sure this is our facehoof emote:

Face the music buddy.

@Stringtheory

Face the music buddy.

what does that even mean??? (damn no appropriate emote...)

[Ironmonger]

Alright ponies, let's see who can guess what I mean.

Hi guys. Hope I haven't missed anything fun but my usual reading of the topic today did not happen because NFL.

I will now resume banging my head against something until either the NFL fixes this garbage or I knock myself out.

Facing the music.

I never got the point of watching sports especially football, the only two sports I can watch are soccer and basketball, american football and baseball are extremely boring because I prefer constant action in a sport which I don't play (and I don't play any)

The reason for everything is a petty dispute between the NFL and its referees which has led to the refs being replaced by division III and cast-off referees from the LFL who don't know the rules and can't keep up with the game in general. Last night was the icing on the cake of the bad calls so far this season though:

The play: Replacement officials made two egregious calls on the final play, which officially went down as a 24-yard Hail Mary touchdown reception for Seahawks receiver Golden Tate. First, Tate blatantly pushed Packers cornerback Sam Shields in the back to clear room. Second, Packers safety M.D. Jennings appeared to intercept the pass and land on the ground with the ball. Tate reached for the ball as well but did not appear to have simultaneous possession. Of the two officials near the play, one ruled a touchdown and the other a touchback. For reasons unknown, a replay review confirmed a touchdown.

Long story short the refs messed up badly (and obviously) twice on the last play and cost the Packers the game. General outrage ensued from everyone in the league (except for the Seahawks) and the NFL today proceeded to pretend nothing happened.

For me it's hunting. It's too boaring.

Eh, my family is from Wisconsin. Football is religion there, I grew up with it.

*watches game highlights* Wow, looks like it was a good game.
*see's the last pass*
WHAT THE FUCK CALL IS THAT REF?!?!? I'm sorry, That is really the only thing I could think. I see how they may have messed it up when it first happened, because it was insane at the spot of the catch, but that replay...how could you call that a touchdown? WHAT THE HELL

[Caoimhe]

Not my team but that was a shitty ass call. It's been on ESPN all day today and it's pretty ridic.

Also what up 2 more pages.

[Ironmonger]

Whoever gave me those brohoofs, I have this to say: "Pffffhahahahahahahaha xD *snorts coffeee* ow."

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

ahh time now for rum on the rocks, with my good friend Morgan. He has consented to sharing his private stock.

[Caoimhe]

You and the Cap'n make it happen.

[RoboRed]

I'm personally thinking of spending a little time with Jameson tonight. I'm gonna have a bit of a long week...

[Caoimhe]

^^^ This guy knows what's up.

[Ironmonger]

With the way you guys talk and act I can't rid myself of the mental image of all of you looking like Barney Stetson or Charlie Sheen, just different clothes. The only thing that's missing is you guys trying to screw anything that moves and I'm pretty sure that's debatable for some of you. XD I dont even...
