    More valid for what purpose? And why?

    Well, nvm, attempting to rationally argue the statement "Feeling is more valid than reason" is probably not going to go very far.

The question of legitimacy isn't really important to him, nor would it have been particularly wise to write about, since he was writing for a usurper.

    Holy shit, Fastest Chrome is smart...

    Highlighted Python with double click to see stuff about it and showed the usual snake stuff, so middle clicked it to open a new tab and it opened on the programming version...

    I'm scared, my browser is stalking me.

    Anyways, good night ponies.

    Oh, and you (yes, you), dont turn around. There is a demon possessed little girl behind you, but she wont touch you if you dont look at her. So yeah, dont turn around.

    Laters!

    Pretty much.

    Of course you consider emotion. It's part of the world around you and part of yourself, and is therefore something you "put in" to reasoning. But it doesn't mean that you deny well-established conclusions because you feel like they're wrong. I'm actually really glad I won't be around tomorrow night, I'm stressed as hell lately and the last thing I need is a political argument with a whole table of people on the other side of the aisle >.<

    EDIT: Around family, that is.

    No one is suggesting becoming vulcans. Just that there is places for emotions, and there aren't. When the fate of an entire country of people hangs in the balance, I don't accept "It should be this way because of my feeling" as a valid argument.

    So.. I've started to watch this. I admit I used to love the original cartoon as a kid (best episodes - Bright Lights, Return of Tambelon and End of Flutter Valley) and the original movie too (Nothing can stop the Smooze... except the Flutter Ponies that is). This new one is pretty awesome, I watched all of season one and up to umm.. season 2 episode 7 (all I could find on Youtube) in around 3 days. So uhh... Original Brony checking in here.

    P.S. Fluttershy is best pony.
