Well everyone, its been a while. A good long while in fact. I guess I owe to those that are still around some sort of explanation.
Almost done with my finals ^^ looking forward to having time to write again this summer! I promised a couple of things and I'd like to get them done for you guys.
Some unexpected problems have come up. In life and in writing. I'm sorry to disappoint you all but you'll have to wait a bit more. If it makes you feel any better I am working on Chapter 8 of Grasping Happiness right now. I've had a bit of a hard time getting back into the groove I had while writing it and I don't want to give you guys something sub-par after waiting so long. And also one of my
Alright guys. Good news. I'll be writing up a storm this week now that I can relax a little for spring break. I already got the next chapter of Winter's Warmth done and ready now to go over before I send it to the editors. As for Grasping Happiness, I'll have it ready next weekend, (Hopefully), so brace yourselves for the next installment after I let you guys all hanging for so long with
All these changes are really getting to be annoying....
The story updates page feels so wrong now to look at now and a lot of the pages feel stretched in length and needlessly big. And then there's the way that the notifications are now split up, having blogs now in its own separate area. If you ask me, they should have done that with the group stuff.
18 elementary school Kindergarten students confirmed dead now today at Sandy Hook elementary school. That's 18 little kids that wont get to open up their presents this Christmas.
Seriously. That's fucked up.
This is why I have so little faith in humanity.

Do you see wy i want to leave this world and go to Equestria and live the rest of my days there?
This is why I no longer watch the news... to much shit that makes me just want to check out and jump off of a fucking bridge
610455
Just so you know, it's a very interesting feeling when you ARE standing at the edge of the bridge about to jump off to check out. It clears my head at least (100% fucking serious, I do this all the time). it's sad that humanity makes me have to do something like that
The Colorado theater shooting just wasn't horrific enough. Maybe this will be mind-wrecking enough to get gun control legislation back on the table.
Newtown ain't that far from where I live either. My mom shops in new town.
This is messed up
WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK. Ya, im with you.
610460 Oh don't worry. The UN will have it stripped by the next decade....
A pity this had to happen...
God, what's with the media? It seems that bad news is the only news worth reporting, apparently.
610458been there... three times in my life
610468 Thats pretty much all there is to news... That is indeed tragic
610471
sorry to here that. have a highly inappropriate pic from someone who also surrendered his sanity just to exist for a little longer

I'm gonna go enjoy a refreshing firebomb for now (don't worry, I'm just burning nature)
Honest question: has anyone (who doesn't collect a paycheck because of it) actually benefited from hearing this on the news? Anyone at all? I'm not saying it shouldn't be reported, but why do I have to hear about it constantly?
610480 mostly because the people who get paid want their pay checks to be a little heavier.
And my therapist wondered why I have no faith in humanity.
This is why I don't read Dark / Tragic / Horror fics. There's enough of that outside my door already. Real Life is harsh and brutal and fragile, and inserting ponies into it doesn't make it any more palatable. If I want grimdark, I'll check the news.
Excuse me, I have to go write a warm happy fluffy fuzzy shipfic now. Maybe it'll help someone smile.
I have faith in humanity, but not everyone lives up to my expectations. And that makes me sad.
Those poor kids and their families.
And this is why I'm a brony. Because for a few minutes, I can forget that I live in a dark in terrible world, where horrible things happen and no one trys to help anyone. Becuase for a few minutes, I can forget about that and enter a world where everything is bright and everyone trys to help others. And this is why I'm a brony.
And people wonder why we like a show about about love and tolerance.
610652 THANK YOU
.............uhg......just.......I need some air....
It makes me wonder if people are doing all these shootings and things because its suposed to be the end of the world. If that is the case then people are even more fucked up than I thought.
This is horrible, but this is also every day in foreign countries. try not to lose your mind. 9/11 was horrible, but most Americans use it to justify millions that die in wars we have fought sense. Humans are savages at there core and our education system is not even 2% what it needs to be to be to tech our nation to see thing for what they really are and how stupid things are like war and fighting. It is sad, but is reality :(
610460 So long as the gun control involves using one hand to pull the trigger and the other to steady the gun, I'm game. The other kind changes nothing; never has, never will.
610681 You are most welcome my friend.
611208 I like that idea of proper gun control.
611208
I literally do not know how to respond to this. Someone opens up on an elementary school and your responce is "the best gun control is to make sure people aim straighter?" Sure, guns don't kill people, people kill people. And we've made it incredibly easy for them to kill huge numbers of people in a very short time by making it so mind-boggling easy for any hostile malcontent to arm themselves with a whole lot of guns.
611620 Actually, my response is "the best gun control is aiming straight because the other does not work"; the first half is somewhat flippant but the second half is the real point. Gun control has not kept one gun out of the hands of a criminal, not one out of the hands of a psycho, and has not affected the frequency and severity of mass homicides at all. What "gun free zone" has successfully kept guns out? "Gun free" high school in Springfield, OR gets hit by Kip Kinkel; people die until someone braves gunshot injuries to tackle him, 2 dead 25 wounded. "Gun free" high school in Littleton, CO get hit by Harris & Klebold; people die until the killers get bored and kill themselves. "Gun free" college campus Virginia Tech get hit by a whackjob that cheerfully walks from room to room with total impunity and kills 32, wounding 17, before he offs himself. A nutty kid steals guns from a friend and goes to the "gun-free zone" at the mall; he's stopped by his own stupidity (he didn't know how to use his weapons properly) and the incredibly rapid response of gun-carrying police officers. Another nutty kid murders his mom, somehow takes two handguns (which are illegal for him to own) and a RIFLE passed a security checkpoint at a gun-free zone and murders 6 more adults and 20 children. Yup, that "gun control" and those "gun free zones" worked wonderfully!
Contrast this with the gun control I somewhat flippantly advocate for. High school student walks in with guns and ammo to murder, vice principle gets his gun; three dead, a couple wounded. Shooter walks into a school and starts blasting; off-duty police officer runs in with his service revolver, two dead. Kid opens up in a school dance; store owner hears the shots and brings his shotgun; two dead. Shooter goes active at the Appalachia Law School, two off-duty sheriff's deputies pull out their service weapons; three dead. Shooter opens up at a mall in Salt Lake City, UT; off-duty police officer runs in with his gun, three dead. Consistent feature: a law-abiding citizen, competent with their weapon, brings a legal gun into the "gun free zone" and the psychopath's spree comes to a screeching halt. Any reasonable person would ask "Gee, why aren't there legal guns and responsible gun owners in ALL gun-free zones?" The "gun free zone" spree shooting is a relatively recent phenomenon and, entirely coincidentally, didn't pop up much 40-50 years ago when you could carry your shotgun into the classroom and keep it at your desk so you could head out and hunt after school.
The problem is not, nor is it ever, too many guns; the problem, outside of societal factors (familial breakdown does wonderful things for the psychological health of children, you know) is that our policies around guns got stuck on "stupid" and some delusional fantasy in which you can magically prevent gun violence somewhere with a pretty sign. There's a direct correlation between large numbers of CCW (a permit to Carry a Concealed Weapon) holders and general depression of crime rates; there is no such relationship between strict gun laws and depression of crime rates--or, more relevantly, impact on the severity of mass murder shootings.

And aside from the person who stole a gun, none of those people would have been able to shot someone if no one had sold them a gun in he first place. Yes, there are a great many instances where gun control has failed, mostly because of the dedicated efforts of pro-gun ownership lobbies to make it as easy as possibly to buy guns, all under the cover of protecting the constructional rights of American citizens to own as many guns as they want and take them wherever they want.
We live in a free society, and that often means that we have to give up some small freedom of convienace to ensure the public well being. We have traffic laws to protect us from the people who drive like reckless jerks, taking some freedom away from anyone who owns a car. We have business regulations to keep the stuff we buy from being personally hazardous, taking rights away from companies to make what they want, how they want. We have a long and honerable tradition of firearms ownership in this country, but we also have a long and horrific tradition of people misusing the right to bear arms to kill their families, neighbors, and coworkers. Honoring the first tradition does not mean we must acquiesce to the second.
Also, the idea that we would be safe if we are all armed and thinking we're Dirty Harry is laughable, if only for the reason of how easy it is to acquire ballistic armor over the Internet. Or do you think that we should start some sort of zero-sum arms race that will have use all looking like space marines whenever anyone wants to go shopping? I for one want to exercise my right to live in a society where I can be free of paranoia where I don't need to worry about whether I'm a quicker draw than everyone else around me. Even more naively, you make shooting someone in a crisis situation sound as easy as killing someone in a video game. It is not, and flaming that it is only shows your vastly you have oversimplified the problem.
Yes, gun violence is the end of a long train of societal failures. If we had more competent and comprehensive mental health care in this country, fewer of these indivials would end up in a situation where they do take the lives of others. But seeing as taking on that issue is even harder than legislating effective gun control, the least we can do is make it more difficult for criminally minded indivials to acquire weapons.
I would hope, desperately, that if anyone ever suggested that you give up your right to a trial by jury to ensure public well-being, you'd say "hell no!" What you're suggesting is precisely equivalent. Owning arms (which is understood to mean firearms), with only the smallest and most reasonable checks (it'd be absurd to suggest that a private citizen could own a nuclear weapon for example), is absolutely fundamental to the American concept of liberty. Moreover, we know, without reasonable doubt, that what you're suggesting makes the problem worse.
Incorrect. We have a long and honorable tradition of firearms ownership and legal use in this country, and a long and horrific problem of ignorant politicians responding to rare tragedies by stripping lawful owners of the power to defend themselves. Logic would suggest that you increase the capacity of the lawful to defend themselves in response to innocent people being hurt but instead, we see attempts to decrease the power of the lawful to defend themselves.
Laughable... and true. As I said, there is a direct relationship between widespread legal gun ownership and a marked decrease in crime and in the severity of mass-homicide events.
Quote me discussing the ease of shooting someone in a crisis situation, please.
No, we can't... and no, we haven't. Under the regime of small-minded political hacks, we've been required to surrender our power of self-defense and we get nothing, nothing in return. We create more gun-free zones and we get more mass slaughters. We throw blizzards of paper at the problem and we get fewer citizens able to exercise their fundamental rights. We ignore the facts time and time again at the behest of people who think that gun control will save us and get blood-splattered corpses and the wails of innocent people who've just had loved ones torn from them. No matter how often it's proven that greater freedom DOES save lives, every tragedy caused by the gun control obsession is used as a springboard to propagate more of what has failed.
saw that in class today so sad i feel you bro
This is now old news
