SIT PROPERLY DAMN IT

[kaijyuu]

I approve of Lyra choking Heartstrings.

[LordBucket]

+ me and (was it Lord Bucket? Maybe, anyhow)
argue for days about some meaningless topic.

Whether racially based child slavery exists in Equestria, with Spike as the example.

The way I remember it, we both agreed that it was a a plausible but unverifiable interpretation of the evidence. Kind of like if we saw a box and heard ticking from it, and one of us said it might be a bomb and the other said it might be a clock. Neither of us seemed to be actually asserting that it was a bomb or a clock, just that it was possible because of lack of evidence to contradict it, and only circumstantial evidence to support it.

In the case of Spike, there are unanswered questions in the show, and that he's a race-slave is a plausible answer to those questions that doesn't contradict any of the available evidence. And that he isn't, is also a plausible answer without contradicting the available evidence. But once we agreed on that, we kept arguing anyway. Kind of felt bad. Usually we've agreed on pony things. But once the ball starting rolling downhill, it kind of kept going.

I think my brain just imploded. ...what in Equestria are you talking about?

The discussion lasted almost 10 pages. It would be difficult to summarize.

If you'd like to read through it, start here.

[Dsarker]

Here it is, summarise:

LordBucket: Spike must be a slave.

Slaves are not returned to people of their race, slaves do work.

Spike is not returned to his kind, Spike does work.

QED, Spike is a slave.

Flying Dice: Spike is not a slave.

Dragons are dangerous even to other dragons, Spike has no want to be reunited with his kind.

Spike is not returned because it would be dangerous and he doesn't want to.

QED, Spike is not a slave.

And whatever you do, please don't start raising points of your own, because I don't think any of us want to take ten pages or so to determine that we can't convince each other again.

Edit: Looks like My Little Hangover has another chapter up! 

[LordBucket]

Here it is, summarise:
LordBucket: Spike must be a slave.
QED, Spike is a slave.

Flying Dice: Spike is not a slave.
QED, Spike is not a slave.

That is a gross misrepresentation of both sides of the discussion. We both agreed that we could not disprove the opposing interpretation, nor conclusively confirm our own interpretation, based on the available evidence.

Of course that is, because you misrepresented the representation.

[Fniff]

And it all begins again.

ARMOK FUCKING DAMN IT NOT AGAIN

Anyhow, there is PONY SPACE. I made it to the 2 minute mark, then I died due to the whole floor being covered in necroponies. Have Fun 

[Fniff]

I was sort of hoping it was an unholy cross between Dorf Space and Pony Fortress.
