		<description><![CDATA[Some years ago, &quot;Mad&quot; did a spoof on how Americans are becoming softer because they avail themselves of technological conveniences ever more frequently, from electric can openers to riding lawn mowers. The piece ended by showing lean and grinning Red Chinese Army soldiers poking bayonets at some helpless American suburbanites who could only sway on their fat butts like a bunch of dipping ducks.
 The point is as poignant and relevant now as then. After all, how many civilizations have collapsed from decadence?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t know who you think you are but bronies have done more good for the world in their first year of existance than you will in your whole life, in the first year (2010-2011) bronies raised over $100,000 for charity, if these bronies are Meir &quot;boys&quot; they must be pretty rich if you ask me. Also bronies have made amazing music (&quot;great to be different&quot;-by forest rain, &quot;Loyalty&quot;-by mandopony and accusticbrony, &quot;between fairytails and happy endings&quot;-by princewhateverer and many more) great art work (check out the &quot;cutie art crusaders&quot; on YouTube for a good showcase). Also there are many celebrities who are &quot;bronies&quot; and have given brony shout outs like Andrew W.K (brony), lady gaga (brony/pegusister your choice), Seth Green (brony), Notch (brony, creator of minecraft), Wierd Al Yankovic (brony), Stephen Colbert (many brony shout outs on air). I&#039;m sorry this sort of turned into a rant but please at least do some research about an amazing phenomenon before saying anyone who enjoys it needs to see a psychologist.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Maybe not bronies but they at least prove some people can step back and say, &quot;You know what, for a little while I just wanna focus on the virtues of mankind, just so it isn&#039;t constant conflict.&quot;

no they dont. they are grown men who enjoy a cartoon and merchandising designed for 8 year old girls. the person you are describing is gandhi. he was a noble man who achieved so much. (he even became a succesful lawyer before being &quot;the mahatma&quot;) he was a productive member of society. not a weirdo whos into little girls cartoons.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#039;t you guys think this article plays it up a little to much? I mean...Jesus,  we&#039;re iust a bunch of guys with an odd hobby. There&#039;s nobody in the fandom who deserves the freaking Nobel Peace Prize.

And for the record, this article only gave examples of the extremists in our group. Actually very few of us would be caught dead cosplaying as one of the characters. Though many of us would buy like one or two items of merch, mostly t shirts and the aforementioned comics.

I just felt like putting the truth out there.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You mean that thing every fandom ever has had? Oh yeah that stuff. I hate this common misconception. I personally check up with bronies often on multiple websites (neither 4chan or reddit for good reason) and I have never seen MLP porn once. I saw one guy mention it in a positive light once, and then defend his position. He was permanently banned within a few hours though, and that&#039;s the stance of round-abouts 90% of all bronies according to my own observations and mulitple surveys.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I see, the measure of a man is his testicles, a person needs balls, needs to like guns and hatred. Jesus you are EXACTLY WHAT THIS ARTICLE IS MOCKING. You lack this much self awareness? Why can&#039;t people be like, &quot;Hey, I wanna see something that isn&#039;t filled with blood and gore, guns and murder. I watched a lot of Breaking Bad lately, maybe it&#039;s time for a different show for 20 minutes?&quot; Somebody liking something about being loyal to those around you and truly loving diversity is bad but guns and murder are good? It sounds like we want the ideal world to teach that bloodshed is good, and that violence should be the first solution! As much as I wish upon the world a horrid dystopia of murder and moral decay, I would rather have kind individuals who would look out for their brother or sister of the planet than envy what they have and commit acts of violence or betrayal for it. Maybe not bronies but they at least prove some people can step back and say, &quot;You know what, for a little while I just wanna focus on the virtues of mankind, just so it isn&#039;t constant conflict.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately we live in times when it&#039;s not ok to not be tolerant of peoples stupidity. Not only can we not slap these jackasses upside the head and tell them to get real jobs, we have to give them the venues for them to &quot;express their feelings&quot;. 
Its like that movie, 21 jump street... What used to be cool is no longer cool, and everybody is so sensitive that if you punch a guy (who came up to you violently) its a hate crime because he happens to be a gay black kid!  ]]></description>
