माइ लिट्ल पोनी फ्रेंडशिप ईज़ मॅजिक Article: The Unpopular Opinion

5

posted by btflash

Ok, so before I begin with this, let me just be clear. This is not a hate-ish लेख of any kind, like my last one was. If anything, this is purely academic (whlie at the same time opinionated), with one college class of critical thinking under my belt.

There's been a change in today's society, a rather interesting one at that. I've seen countless stories and news लेखाए about individuals at odds with one another. Arguments, discussions, disagreements.

And today, on the wall, Canada24 expressed his discomfort at having the unpopular opinion, because "people hate him because of it."

While I can understand why आप would feel that you're hated for having such opinions, I'm going to tell आप something. Tell आप to feel something else.

I want आप to feel proud.

Never be ashamed to have an unpopular opinion. Don't be afraid to be that one guy that says "I disagree with this!"

Be proud. Hell, if आप have it, then flaunt it, and I'm going to tell आप why.

The human race has only gotten to this point in ALL DIFFERENT kinds of growth because people disagree with each other.

However, with the ability to have an unpopular opinion should come with an ability to discuss and (at least attempt to) understand other opinions. Have discussion, try to see where the other opinions are coming from, don't see your opinion as the only opinion.

I'm not saying you're at fault for this, but OH MY GOD I could go on so many rants on how other people are, and I don't want anyone to turn into that.

(a number of those rants would be mainly about the current feminist movement, which is definitely a story for another time)

Throughout my one semester I completed at college, I learned a lot about the world of critical thinking. It's the ability to discuss, dissent, and sometimes accept the opinions of yourself and others.

It's the ability to break down YOUR OWN opinion, see its flaws, and to do so for others and come to a compromise.

If there's one piece of सलाह I can give anyone, it's to not be afraid to have an unpopular opinion. SHARE that opinion with others.
Discuss it, dissect it, accept it, reject it, आप can do it all!

The only thing in your way is your ability to share and accept.

triq267, Seanthehedgehog and 3 others like this

Canada24 Well.. After all these times of checking up on the Alpha & Omega page, were people are often hated just for HAVING an opinion. I'm glad people are more warm here.

Princesses & Country Bumpkins

Princess Trika flew around PonyVille, eyeing the preparations with Princess Twilight's guidance for the Sun Summer Celebration. Despite being क्वीन Luna's daughter, she was still अभिनय like a normal pony, having fun, recklessly doing stuff, not being like a princess. Not अभिनय like one, not behaving like one.

As Princess Twilight brought her young 'apprentice' princess to AppleJack's Sweet सेब Acres to try out some of the tasty treats prepared. As they flew towards Sweet सेब Acres, Princess Twilight had to remind young Princess Trika to not gobble all of the treats up. She nodded and...

Trixie stared at her reflection from her mirror. She was depressed. Her mane was in a bun, while her curled bangs were Hanging behind her ear. Tears rolled down her cheeks. Her eyes were covered with mascara. Snowy, Trixie's white cat tried to comfort her. It was no use. Moments later, Trixie's mother, Blue Wave, entered her room.

BW: Well, darling. What do आप think? Do आप like your new mane cut? Isn't it just this... Month?
Trixie: ..Uhh..
BW: Trixie, please say something to me. Dear, I bought आप all I could. But you're not talking. Is it because of all these accidents in school? Do you...

Silver Tune, Black Rose, and Nocturnal Mirage were cleaning the cafeteria. It was a mess everywhere. Silver Tune groaned. Ponies threw खाना on the ground and threw trash on the ground. They were done cleaning after a while. "So, should we go get the decorations right-" Silver Tune was cut off द्वारा Coffee Creme, Shredder, and Nikki going inside the cafeteria. "Oh, हे guys! We were about to start decorating. Do आप want to join?" Nocturnal Mirage said. "Sure, we can help." Shredder said. "OK, Nikki and Nocturnal Mirage can go get the decorations. Shredder and I can put them up on the walls. Silver...

Black Rose was out of breath when she was at her home. She went upstairs. Her door had a note on it:

Dear Black Rose,

Your father and I are at the groceries. Make sure to lock the windows and doors. We will be going through the garage, so make sure not to lock that door.

Love you!

She kept the note and put it in a box. Then, she took out the rat. It came out, happily going everywhere. She almost found out how hungry they both were. She went downstairs to the kitchen. Then she remembered to lock the doors and windows. She went all over the house to do this. When she was done, she came back to the...

Rarity: What are आप going to shoot?
Clint: Only a bird, then we'll head back.
Rarity: Be careful, you're aiming it at a window.
Clint: It's too far away to be shot, watch *shoots gun*

The little बछेड़ा soon realized his mistake. As soon as he pulled the trigger, a bullet hit the window, and made it shatter into a million peices.

The last solstice

Chapter 6: Contact

Nocturnal Mirage laid still on the soft grass. The warm rays of the sun were stroking his senses very gently. The stallion got लॉस्ट gazing at the sky. There were no clouds, just the endless horizon. He let his dark blue कोट absorb the heat of the fiery orb above. Freedom at last!

There’s no other place like this in the entire country! Maybe the tall mountains of his birthplace, Terra Absolutia could outshine the magnificent beauty of Amethyst Lake. The jewel of the Crystal Empire. No ripples disturbed the surface of the obsidian water. In spite the fact...

Wheels of Evil – Part 8

It’s almost dawn. The mare hears the strange rumble from far away. Not so later, the Plymouth shows up. The car backs up and parks down on her usual अंतरिक्ष in the Everfree. Bon-Bon lurks in the shadows nearby. She starts connecting the dots. That is why she remains undetected! The forest hides her. Nopony goes in there. Just द्वारा looking at the Fury, the earth टट्टू knows it’s a she.

The left door opens. Lyra gets out. She has an enraptured look on her face. Opalescent eyes. She walks like a lunatic. She’s... enchanted. Bon-Bon knows it’s the doing of the car somehow....
