  1. One mean-spirited comment by an unrelated person.

     

    Harsh reply to that comment.

     

    Harsh reply to that comment by a completely different person.

     

    Entire argument involving two unrelated people to the first comment that spans several pages in length.

     

    Youtube in a nutshell.

  2. Alright. Now try typing that in English.

  3. The War of 1812 was a 32-month military conflict between the United States and the British Empire and their Indian allies which resulted in no territorial change between the Empire and the USA, but a resolution of many issues which remained from the American War of Independence. The United States declared war in 1812 for several reasons, including trade restrictions brought about by Britain's ongoing war with France, the impressment of American merchant sailors into the Royal Navy, British support of American Indian tribes against American expansion, outrage over insults to national honor after humiliations on the high seas, and possible American interest in annexing Canada.[3]

     

    The war was fought in three principal theatres. Firstly, at sea, warships and privateers of both sides attacked each other's merchant ships, while the British blockaded the Atlantic coast of the U.S. and mounted large-scale raids in the later stages of the war. Secondly, both land and naval battles were fought on the American–Canadian frontier, which ran along the Great Lakes, the Saint Lawrence River and the northern end of Lake Champlain. Thirdly, the American South and Gulf Coast also saw major land battles in which the American forces defeated Britain's Indian allies and repulsed a British invasion force at New Orleans. Both sides invaded each other's territory, but these invasions were unsuccessful or temporary. At the end of the war, both sides occupied parts of the other's land, but these areas were restored by the Treaty of Ghent.

     

    With the majority of its army and naval forces tied down in Europe fighting the Napoleonic Wars until 1814, the British at first used a defensive strategy, repelling multiple American invasions of the provinces of Upper and Lower Canada. However, the Americans gained control over Lake Erie in 1813, seized parts of western Ontario, and ended the prospect of an Indian confederacy and an independent Indian state in the Midwest under British sponsorship. In September 1814, a British force invaded and occupied eastern Maine, which they would hold for the duration of the war. In the Southwest, General Andrew Jackson destroyed the military strength of the Creek nation at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814. With the defeat of Napoleon in 1814 on April 6, the British adopted a more aggressive strategy, sending in three large invasion armies. The British victory at the Battle of Bladensburg in August 1814 allowed them to capture and burn Washington, D.C. American victories in September 1814 and January 1815 repulsed all three British invasions in New York, Baltimore and New Orleans.

     

    In the United States, victories at the Battle of New Orleans in 1815 and in the Battle of Baltimore of 1814 (which inspired the lyrics of the American national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner") produced a sense of euphoria over a "second war of independence" against Britain. Peace brought an "Era of Good Feelings" to the U.S. in which partisan animosity nearly vanished. Canada also emerged from the war with a heightened sense of national feeling and solidarity, as it celebrated its defeat of multiple invasions. Battles such as the Battle of Queenston Heights and the Battle of Crysler's Farm became iconic for English-speaking Canadians. In Canada, especially Ontario, memory of the war retains national significance, as the invasions were largely perceived by Canadians as an annexation attempt by the United States. In Canada, numerous ceremonies took place in 2012 to remember the war, offer historical lessons and celebrate 200 years of peace between Canada and the United States.[4] The war is scarcely remembered in Britain today, as it regarded the conflict as sideshow to the much larger Napoleonic Wars raging in Europe. As such it welcomed an era of peaceful relations and trade with the United States.

  5. So Hasbro has made a few bad decisions, that doesn't mean they're ruining everything. Every company makes bad decisions, some more than others, and some even learn from their mistakes. Now again Hasbro has made some bad decisions, but they've also made some good ones, like giving Lauren the creativity she had in the first season. E.G. isn't out yet, and people are already saying it sucks, and it'll ruin everything. It's a gamble, it's an experiment, does Hasbro have Bronies in mind with this gamble? Who knows, my guess is they don't, my guess is they have female preteens and younger in mind, something they intended with FiM.

     

     

    Edit: This does a better job at explaining my views on the subject:

  6. Well I'm not going to judge them, I'm not pointing fingers at them. They brought Alicorn Twilight, people hated them, and look what happened, it all worked out in the end. It's the same as Heath Ledger as Joker, and Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, hell it's the same with any change. Something changes, something people are used to, and they go batshit crazy over it, again I'm not pointing any fingers, I'm talking in general. If you lash out at me because I said "people go batshit crazy over change" that's your own fault. Now I'll admit, I'm not all that crazy over Equestria Girls, but hey, when I first heard of grown men liking My Little Pony, I wasn't too crazy about that either.

  9. Well, Pendleton Ward, one of the greatest cartoonists of modern day (IMO) has created an internet series that is posted to YouTube. Season 1 is closing up this Thursday.

     

    All the bits are moderately short, but packed with random humor and fun. I thought I'd show it to you guys:

    This here's Episodio 1

    Well then... the show is uh.... okay at best. The humor is there, but like Adventure Time, it's just not for me. Although I did like the attention to detail with the time traveling in the first episode.
