@loveydoe *Insert 17 syllables of the word "rocks"*

@loveydoe My rocks sit in rows / These, these are my rocks, states Maud / I love all my rocks

@loveydoe I dunno. I managed to change my own mind a few times throughout that argument, I'm sure you could've done it.

@loveydoe Well, it's much more complicated than that, and requires subscription to multiverse theory and understanding of various existential crises to figure out my viewpoint. It actually boils down to *pleasure & entertainment > all else* however.

@loveydoe Please. I have spent like an hour typing all this crap that I barely even conform to. While I honestly don't believe in romantic love, I honestly couldn't tell you why and everything I've typed is actually me taking this opportunity to spitball to try and figure it out. I actually have no reason to believe my side of the argument is any more valid than yours. So have a filly Luna. http://rainbowdash.net/url/771689

@loveydoe Here's a simple way of putting things: we've gotta survive before we can thrive, but just because we're thriving does not mean we should stop surviving. I believe romantic love ultimately inhibits the surviving part more than it should to be considered practical.

@loveydoe The population, should it need reduction, should do so through natural selection (the mere inclusion of that phrase will draw anti-Darwinists in hordes, so prepare your fortifications) so as to further strengthen the race as opposed to slowing down the birth rate; the former method arguably strengthens the race while the latter method typically keeps it at relatively the same level. Your proposed argument of the importance of pleasure isn't incorrect, however I believe pleasure should be viewed as more of a reward than a necessity; as per being the most dominant race on our planet with advanced cognitive capabilities, we've advanced our society to the point of where we can allow ourselves some pleasure. While this is most certainly not a bad thing, we shouldn't let it distract us from advancing our race further.

@loveydoe how are you a fan of MLP but then claim to not see the value of relationships

@loveydoe It's not so much a matter of happiness as it is a matter of impracticality at that point. *I'm going to use homosexuality as an example to elaborate an important concept to understand for this discussion, I'll return to your question momentarily. From a practical standpoint I don't support homosexual couples. Socially I have no problem with them, but practically, I cannot support them because biologically they cannot accomplish the single most important goal of mating; reproduction. Being in a homosexual relationship, biologically speaking, wastes two people worth of genes to continue the human race. My point is, the practical point of relationships is to reproduce.* Now, back to your question. Romantic love, while it might initially appear to stimulate a relationship and advance 2 people towards this goal, ultimately distracts from reproduction in the long run, because it blinds either or both of the people to other reproductive opportunities.

@loveydoe While it may matter to the people who experience it, I believe they are mistaken about what they are actually experiencing. Again, it is a concept concocted by the human mind; a deception, if you will, to quell some other problem, typically loneliness or a need for self-assurance. While they may believe they are experiencing love, they are actually fooling themselves by trying to make themselves happier. While this in itself may not seem pointless, let me remind you it is a substitution for happiness put in place by a lack thereof; romantics would be better off solving their own problems and gaining happiness through themselves instead of relying on others and deception to gain it.

@loveydoe While I agree her butt would likely smell like butt I feel like she would also have a great standard of cleanliness (although as I said, a butt will always smell like a butt)

@loveydoe SOUNDS SO COOL! THE BEST PLACE TO BE! And, would fit in the G4 cannon, I mean, The pegasi were depicted as militaristic, and island like that would fit perfectly in line! And, There seems to be a lack of Tropics in the G4 map...
