  1. I've never heard any of the ponies speak, but from how you describe the accent, and given Rarity's personality, I think it's just an attempt by the writers to sound formal without making it seem as if Rarity was English/British.

  2. I seem to be the only Sniper in the universe who prefers the vanilla rifle...

     

    I love me some noscoping, and even if I don't charge that much, I don't like the BB because I often charge if a Heavy has me in his sights.

     

    Medics are also ripe for fully charged shots considering how valuable they are, and pro Snipers often pick off Medics with bodyshots.

  3. You are now Applejack.

     

     

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

     

    On the bright side (or not so bright if the show's THAT good), there's one less reason (albeit a trivial one) to become a Brony. :mrgreen:

  4. I'm not offended by you seeing us as hypocrites; I can see why, and I do agree with the population issue; I don't think we should breed endlessly, but I don't see the problem with having a restricted number of children. China may have the right idea with only allowing a certain number of children to be had.

     

    About free schools, housing, food, etc... I don't know if we should do it or not, but I do realize the importance of adoption, and I think children should only be conceived if you're 100% prepared to raise them.

     

    I guess you could consider my way of thinking pro-life, but in a rather liberal way.

  5. You say a fetus should be terminated because it's a parasite, but what if every mother used your argument and decided to have her child terminated? There would be no next generation.

     

    Now let's say you were an abortion because clearly you're a parasite that should be killed...

     

    You wouldn't be able to make any of the arguments that you have.

     

     

    You're just making up an insane circumstance that could not possibly happen. There are people who want children, and there aren't enough doctors in the world to perform enough abortions to end a generation. That's just being silly.

     

    I almost was aborted, and, in all honesty, I should have been. My mom didn't need it and if I knew what was going on (which being a cluster of cells, I didn't know, think or feel anything) I would have understood if she choose to get rid of me.

     

    An unwanted child is the parasite, not every single baby created.

    What do you mean an "unwanted child" is the parasite? Doesn't every fetus suck up its mother's nutrients?

     

    Also, I realize that the circumstance is ludicrous, but if Michael Archer is correct (and able to prove his point) about all fetuses being parasites, then every mother would (or should in his eyes) abort any children she conceives.

     

    I get the feeling I'm being dense, but that would cause a slow but certain decrease in the Earth's population.

  6. My first post in this thread. I'm not a good debater, but... here goes.

     

    The ones getting abortions are forcing their opinions on the fetus as much as we are our opinions on the parents. We're telling them what's right or moral because (yes; I know I'm disregarding what Michael Archer has said about the fetus being alive) the fetus may not be considered alive, but it will grow to be alive. Do you think murder is just? Using that logic, it should be because outlawing it is taking away someone's choice by "forcing your opinion on them."

     

    To Michael Archer: I'm fairly certain you're going to demolish this sorry excuse of an argument like a wrecking ball, but I'm interested as to what you have to say about this.

     

    You say a fetus should be terminated because it's a parasite, but what if every mother used your argument and decided to have her child terminated? There would be no next generation.

     

    Now let's say you were an abortion because clearly you're a parasite that should be killed...
