That shriveled raisin in Bucky's chest?
unless you were intending an accent by spelling it phonetically, it should be "divine"
divine
Edit: Curse you, you beat me by about the length of time it took me to tag up the post.

As a creature with a gun, I take offense to this.
Still better than Milhouse.
Also, nothing wrong with prostitution, and depending on the pimp, nothing wrong with some of them. My friend's dad is a pimp, nice guy.
5366143
Context my friend.
In this instance, the creatures with the guns are the fringe element, a minority within their societal context.
Perhaps... Rising can build a metal jail if Sparkler can get him the ore from the ground?
Adoption, eh? Awesome. Now, CocoMarshmallow lost chapter?

You know, there is a way to handle the pimps and the stallions going to them for a quick easy lay... Have Sparkler make them harder than they can ever remember being in their entire lives... for about a month or so in a statue garden. While they stocks being talked about are probably less extreme than this, these stallions treating mares like objects should be made objects themselves.
5366155
The Ponyville Public Shame Garden is coming... brace yourselves.
5366146 Only you would take the gun thing and completely ignore the pimp thing. I like that.
5366163
Prostitution is fine. Exploitation is bad.
5366146
Yay Context! I love context. such a necessary thing in so many places. For example, in the context of a race of hermaphroditic creatures who mature young, live long, can regulate their reproductive cycles and gain the energy needed to fuel their natural mystic powers through telepathically linking and providing enjoyment or pleasure to another, family orgies are a great way to strengthen bonds and relax while encouraging the growth of each individual's potential. In many many other contexts, family orgies are terrible ideas.
5366171
Daddy, get offa me, yer crushing my cigarettes...
5366165 So I can expect to see fair and just pimps in The Chase at some point?
5366181
No. You will not see fair and just pimps in The Chase.
5366138 5366139
Devine also works, honestly. It's French. Or, in Equestria, Fancy. It is not a typo, this is Rarity we're talking about.
i demand a lost... so many lost chapters that needs to be made and are failing to do so...
5366155
The stocks aren't just unpleasant because they're physically unpleasant... but because it's humiliating and completely public. Imagine someone the society doesn't know very well, who is then paraded out for doing unacceptable things. Humiliation and ostracization would be the norm for that kind of punishment, and would lead them to having an impossible time gaining any traction in society. It would be a situation where levying punishment would hurt more than the crime itself, causing the criminals to be unable to be rehabilitated because it's a risk to employ the ex-con, and you hate their moral inadequacies.
Just look at how tough Diamond Tiara and Filthy Rich are having it, and neither of them were legally condemned, which would presumably make it even worse.
By that, being turned to stone is about the same effect, except they don't have to sit through the experience of being in the stocks.
5366208
Somebody is paying attention to the underlying theme... verra verra eeeeentereeeesting.
5366180
well part of that context that i left out (to see what would happen) was that the telepathic linkage let all involved feel everything everyone else in the link was feeling, pleasure, pain, arousal, anger, sadness, the floor beneath your body; hurting each other would be equivalent to hurting yourself and everyone else in the link. It is a very effective way to weed out negative behaviors when everyone is frequently under something like the "Penance Stare", feeling the pain of others as though it were their own.
5366208
Maybe. But Quite Honestly? I couldn't give a flying fuck about those criminals. Know why? I know several who are in and out of jail on a yearly fucking basis who NEVER LEARN THEIR LESSON AND KEEPING DOING THE EXACT SAME SHIT! IMO, anyone convicted of a crime should no longer have a place in society unless they are willing to change. And many criminals just aren't willing to do that... Or if it is one of those cases where a person was falsely accused and convicted, but I believe those are the only ones who make an honest attempt at regaining their place because they never did anything wrong to begin with.
5366214 Master is pleased, master is happy ! Minion happy too !
5366163
This fan group keeps getting weirder and weirder. I think in the context of the story it's because the pimps are impressing the girls to work through coercion. Maybe they should alow for brothel licensing.
5366219
American prisons are not a good place for rehabilitation. Not that it doesn't happen, but the extended stays in them reduce employability and opportunity when they get out, and then the reputation (especially of certain crimes) can follow those convicts for the rest of their lives.
If they have no good honest opportunities, then it's no wonder they will resort to a crime they have already displayed the tendency to resort to again. Especially considering they have been surrounded by probably other unrepentant criminals for years.
The American "Justice" system is a place of punishment, not of rehabilitation. It shouldn't be surprising that it turns out that a place that is bad at rehabilitating doesn't produce rehabilitated criminals.
5366234 It really depends on the methods of operation. If it's a group of working girls/guys who have a pimp for protection, and that's all he's there for, that's perfectly fine. It's the shitty branding and drug addiction for cheap control that's despicable. In the situation with my friend's dad, we live in a low-income area, and there are a lot of hookers, which attracts people who rob or murder those hookers, so they need protection they can't go to the police for.
5366236
One of the main ones I know actually doesn't have any problems getting a job. However he is either too lazy to go out and get them even when he promises to or he only goes long enough to get money for what he wants, usually as a way of going "I have a job, now stop bitching" before basically quitting by no longer going in.
5366246 But there are worse options. He cold turn in an over-active MLP fanfiction writer that seduce his readers with promisses of non-stop updating powerfull emotional and funny stories !
Those, those right there, are the worse....
5366242
but that's the problem, it's a screwed up cycle. For every good one there ten guys willing to do bad for profit. The act is a crime so it brings more crime. Drugs, gambling, organized crime, these things drive out business and other lawful employment forcing the population to do unlawful work. The more crime increases the worse the situation becomes. Your community is suffering because of crime it will not improve until steps are taken to reduce crime. But due to the community reliance upon criminal activity there is a strong pull in the community that is against crime reduction. It's a systematic problem.
5366269 We live in a low-income area because we're in North Alabama, which missed a lot of the industrial boom of Birmingham and was skipped over a bit by Roosevelt during the Depression. Crime itself is not the main problem, it is the lack of chances to get out; I'm lucky, I have gainful employment that I can retire from if I play my cards right, my friend with the pimp dad is unemployed and briefly left the state to look for work in Ohio and came back jobless and broke, because he has a criminal record with a couple of charges of petty theft and most businesses in the area won't hire him. Crime is a problem, but it is a symptom of a larger problem, and that is a lack of development in infrastructure and education due to a lack of funds because we lack the infrastructure and development to acquire those funds.
Crime is a vicious cycle, but so is poverty.
5366246
I'm not going to try to excuse or explain his actions as the sole fault of a society leaving him behind, and no, not every person who is a criminal has the potential to be rehabilitiated... nor can I claim that even if we had a system that encouraged rehabilitation more seriously than the one we have it wouldn't be an uphill battle to turn criminals into productive members of society... but there are a lot of additional obstacles that a convict and ex-convict faces that do not encourage rehabilitation.
I don't think it is a simple case of every person who committed their crimes will repeat it because they are simply too broken, lazy, or flawed to be fixed. Being treated with contempt, and being put into a terrible situation can make them feel like they simply don't want to behave. That there is nothing for them down that path.
Again, I don't want to excuse their behavior by saying this: if someone is a criminal then continues to commit crimes, even if every attempt was made to give them a positive situation, then they need the consequences to come down on them. Again, not every person is rehabilitable, but to continue to present a bad situation is hardly encouraging to those that would reform.
its not only in these sentences, but in several more, where the punctuation is wrong . There should be periods at the end of these sentences not commas.
I have directly dealt with criminals in my line of work so I can safely say that Sparkler is going to be hated by the criminals no matter what she does. Even just making herself a symbol of authority and justice, it's inviting every criminal with half a brain to try to take you out. Criminals WILL band together and attempt to overthrow what authority is there (criminal psychology 101). If crime rises in a population and there is a power vacuum of authority and opposition to them, any individual or gathering thereof, that attempt to halt illegal and illicit activities will be a catalyst for open-ground violent conflict between the two. The criminals will band together and try to openly KILL anybody they see as being in their way. Sparkler is going to be dealing with open fucking combat in the streets. The small-time criminals can be dealt with, but anything that is prostitution, burglary, and so forth is going to become violent. You can't just fucking 'be their friend' these dirt bags will buddy up to you and stick a knife in your back then rape your wife and kids before they butcher them like lambs. Corporal punishment works, public executions work. Sticking them in jail almost NEVER gives you a reformed person once they come out. More than 90% of people who spent time in prison will go back because they underwent prisonization and cannot survive among civilized society.
5366317 What the hay is your line of work, playing Grand Theft Auto? That was NOT what was taught in my Criminal Psychology class, nor what my mom (A police Sergeant) says. \

But you see that's what happens as an industry falls apart in an area it opens the doors for new industry to come in. The vacuum left behind is in desperate need to be filled. The problems are two fold, cheap labor is no longer cheap in America. With out high (compared to other countries) minimum wage, and heavy tax laws cheap manufacturer jobs are being sent over seas. Not much can be done about that, the community could look to establish a new industry or several smaller industries. And that leads to the second problem, crime. Crime is usually the first industry an impoverished area turns to. This starts the cycle down its path. As the crime rate goes up, those who are looking to start new industry are driven away. Soon you find business closing due to lost profit some from less costumers some from increased crime. Soon those who can leave have left and those who can't seem forced to do what they have to to survive.
The truth is there is no easy fix, but no matter what caused it crime is keeping things static, unable to improve but not completely letting things fall apart. Reduce crime and opertunity will knock.
5366324 How dare you accuse me of playing that game. That game is a piece of shit that glorifies everything I hate in America. The developers should be drawn and quartered. If your mother is a police Sgt. which I find highly unlikely due to your comment, she would completely agree with me and for your information I work in private security. I'm not a simpleton either before any of you assholes starts calling me Paul Blart or something. I've spent more than 10 years working for hospitals and 7-11s. I've been shot (vest stopped the round, still cracked 3 ribs), stabbed, hit by a car, beat up by six guys, seen a man murdered, and found a newborn baby boy still alive in a dumpster. I do not want to hear anybody fucking telling me I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't know where you live bub, but I live in Hampton Roads in Virginia. Hampton Roads is a series of 7 cities built so close together they mesh into one.
(Do not ever accuse me of playing G.T.A. by the way, it will piss me off. I passionately hate that game and everything associated with it.)

Different regions have different problems, in law enforcement we see the worst of the worst society has to offer. We see humanity at its worst almost daily. And in heavy crime areas it is pure concentrated bad. As I was saying in my other post, some communities rely heavily on crime for a living, any force threatening that living is an enemy. That's why there is so much hate out there for police. Some police realize this and so they try to relax enforcement in these areas opening the doors for corruption. This in turn causes people to lose trust in the police. So police crackdown on crime thus furthering the rift between the police and the community.
5366342 I live in Jasper, in Walker County, Alabama. The only industry we have is coal, and that is dying as it is. My job works out of Birmingham, in Jasper; all are my friends are from Jasper, I went to high school in Jasper. Jasper is out of the way of everything, we live on a large highway between two interstates, one of which goes through Birmingham and the other through Tupelo, Mississippi. It is not crime that drives people away, so much as the inability to do much of anything; there is little room to grow, little that does not already exist here in some weak fashion. Niche markets do not exist here because most people do not know such niches exist, for example there was a computer repair shop in downtown, right across from the Jasper Bank and next to a flower shop, and I remember them because they had a kickass Space Invader game, original, that they'd fixed up and put in their front room, since the business was operated out of a rented house. Walmart drove them out, not crime. We had a mom-pop barbecue joint, wasn't the best, but it was nice enough; they burned their store down for one last profit when Full Moon came to town.
This area is dying because it is not developed, and cannot develop on its own; we live next to the fifth most dangerous city in the US, with a whopping 25% of our residents either unemployed, disabled, or otherwise not working, compared to the (still high) average of 17% for the rest of the state. Walker County is not a place that is unwelcome in itself, but its location is so terrible for businesses that while it's possible to get by running your own business for a time, you're unlikely to get ahead. Could the state help out? Certainly, if every law we passed did not need to be amended into our state constitution, which I must add was added in to prevent social progression at the time of its drafting in 1901. We can't progress without choking on red tape.
5366386 I'll grant you that my experience out here has been rough and perhaps there is a difference between Hampton Roads and other, more rural areas. I honestly don't know about areas except where I've worked and what I've seen in person.
5366388
OK granted fixing crime will not solve your problems. Some areas will suffer due to poor fortune, bypassed by the interstate, nearest city high crime rate, lack of interest from investors. Problems that if easily solved with something like crime reduction it would have been done. That being said some communities out there are being torn apart because crime. People in the area blind to it because they blame the system, or the government, all the while businesses refuse to do business there for fear of the volatile environment.
We need to have an accidental pimp. Just a guy who keeps taking in and protecting a large group of prostitute mares, and taking care of them. They buy him food and stuff with their earnings, but he doesn't specifically ask them.
Hmm... Trying to see from another's perspective? An importnt part of any functional society, that, whether it's family, governance, or creating a legion of arachnid servitors in emulation of your beloved daughter's terrifying arcane abilities.
In any case, it's always nice to read another one of your unique slices of life. Things actually happen and progress. Looking forward to more.
Sounds like Bucky wants to try and avoid unnecessary bloodshed and try to reason with the mirror travelers.
5366809
In this instance he was speaking of the firearms issue, not the mirror travelers.
5366165 Prostitution is exploitation.
5366816
Not always, no.
A person can sell their own body willingly and make a buck. If somebody coerces them to do that, it is exploitation.
I imagine mare prostitutes would have a hard time making a living from prostitution when the gender ratio is something like one stallion per three or four mares which prompted Berry to suggest the herd thing that started the whole mess in the first place. To me, it seems like it would make more sense if this was turned around with stallion prostitutes.
5366843
Yes and no.
Think of the trouble that Filthy Rich ran into.
Mares want a stallion they can keep. There are so few of them around. So sex comes with a lot of pressure to stay and maybe raise a foal.
Prostitutes provide pressure free sex, no strings attached.
So for a stallion like Filthy, this is a win win scenario.
Edit: remember, Berry Punch stopped having flings when she got serious about wanting a family and tortured herself through a dry spell.
5366148
Why must you subject my heart to this horribly cite picture?!? I don't think that this fan fic site will allow my heart to continue much longer.
5366324 "Line of work"
That sounds like a Mafia line to me. I'm guessing, and this is just off the top of my head, but I think he might be a water boy for a Texas Football team.
5366956 Agreed.
5366836 its exploitation in this day and age and whenever there is no sort of regulation to it.
i never understood why you have this weird number comparison between stallions and mares...... or at the very least such an extensive one.
