Words fail me when I see something like this. I'm not surprised that this is in the news, but I'm still disappointed. Makes me want to contribute to a billboard fund, showing our favorite ponies on one side, and various soldiers on the other side, with the caption "Marines watch My Little Pony too" because I know some that do.
I don't think it'd stop anything, but it'd let others in this position know that they have serious support.
I agree with you my friend, it gets a little depressing how others find enjoyment in putting down those around them. It shouldn't matter that we, that kid, or anyone else likes as long as it isn't harming anyone. All we can do is advocating the fact that the world is changing. And we can look at the bright side in that things are changing, however slowly. After all, it was little more than a decade ago that video gamers were looked down upon, and now that whole culture has expanded to the whole world. Maybe one day kids will be able to like what they want with out worrying about criticism.
.....Man, I got wordy didn't I?
