What makes MLP fans think Fluttershy is the oldest out of the Mane Six?
NOTE: I DON'T HATE FLUTTERSHY, SHE'S MY FAVORITE CHARACTER BECAUSE I CAN RELATE TO HER. I'M JUST CURIOUS OF HER AGE DESCRIPTION.
I recently got addicted into My Little Pony because I kinda want to switch my stress and mental feelings around... Anyways, I heard fans always say that out of all Mane Six (Twilight Sparkles, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rarity obviously) Fluttershy is considered to be one of the oldest. I don't get it, other than living alone, caring for animals and a year older than Pinkie doesn't make her the oldest. She sometimes can't stand up for herself and is even scared of her own shadow at first, she (sometimes) needs her friends encouragement in order to get what needs to be done. If she's older than the rest of the Mane Six shouldn't she always try to calm her friends down with courage instead of speaking in a soft voice. Rarity looks older than the rest because she can make her own business and put effort into what needs to be done. Twilight too is extremely smart and she can take care of herself easily, she's always there to bring everyone together and is responsible, doesn't she act maturely?
I'm not saying Fluttershy is bad or anything (Read the note above) but how do fans think she's one of the oldest in the Mane Six.
Thanks in advance :)
3 AnswersComics & Animation7 years agoWhy does it seem like most blacks listen to music from black artists?
NOTE: THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE RACIST
Honestly, I always see white people listening to all sorts of music. They are pleased with any. However I always see black people listening to hip hop and rap music, and to top it all up, its all made by black music artists. I never seen a black guy listen to Eminem or any white rappers. Or black girls listening to R&B they only listen to Beyonce and Rihanna just because they both are black? I don't get it, these "new" generation of black rappers only rap about money and girls, why would "these" black people love these songs so much? And whats wrong with white R&B artists? Because they aren't black?
Again, this is not meant to bash against anyone but it's based on my observations outdoors everyday.

3 AnswersOther - Africa & Middle East7 years agoWhy do I do worse when I calm down?
Ok, this is probably a extremely rare question and problem but I don't like it and I want this to be vice versa.
Whatever I do, no matter games or education. If I calm down and relax, I do complete sh*t and gets completely humiliated. Such as Call of Duty Black Ops 2, I rage on that game a lot, yet I somewhat do much better. If I don't rage however, my kdr would go down extremely quick and it will be like a 0.2-0.5. This is just one example, people always say to calm down and concentrate more, somehow it doesn't apply do me because I'm the opposite. Why does this happen? And how can I make it different?
2 AnswersPsychology7 years agoWhy is electronic music such bad charters in U.S. compared to Europe?
Well, not unpopular, but many people don't know any new songs released by these DJ's.
Billboard is a music chart in U.S. that shows us the most popular songs of the week, and the higher the charting place it is, the more popular and sales that song is. All the time the Billboard chart is dominated by pop, hip hop, country, blues, rock, R&B, but what about dance music? What about trance? What about electronic music? What about house? These genres are some of the best and most known in Europe but somehow in U.S. it's like a speck of dust flowing through. Barely anyone I know in America listens to these genres of music (except me, I LOVE IT). For example, DJ's such as Avicii. His awesome songs such as Levels (topped the charts in Europe, but only reached number 60 in Billboard U.S.), Wake Me Up (another European topper, but in U.S. it's only number 4), I Could Be The One (good in Europe, yet didn't chart in U.S.). Other electronic DJ's such as Tiesto or Armin Van Buuren can barely get into Billboard yet they can in other countries in Europe.
Why is this so? Is it because electronic music really is unpopular?

If that happened, then the economy wouldn't be as powerful as today? Military wouldn't be the world's strongest? More poverty? Corruption and shattered?
9 AnswersHistory7 years agoWhy do kids today know nothing of football?
This question isn't stereotypical or random thoughts, it was based on my observation:
Many people (especially in USA) call football "soccer" (okay okay, that's not a bad thing but it just sounds unreal, real fans call it football and that was the official name for the sport), and kids will stick it to "soccer" all the time instead of official word "football" (should really be called American Rugby). For those who don't like this sentence, I'm sorry but that's who I am and how I feel about this "soccer" word.
Now for the players, one of the biggest problem is name calling: Kids (especially girls) be like: "OMG RONALDO SCORED FOR PORTUGAL AGAIN! HE IS SOOOO HOT!" Sure, kids (if you are) and teens that are born to be football fans today calls CR7 "Ronaldo". Now if you are a kid then you may think nothing's wrong with the phrase. WRONG! WHO WAS RONALDO? WHO WAS THE REAL FENOMENO! Seems kids today don't know who is Ronaldo and even calls him "fat", trash, nothing compared to Cristiano. For the previous generation (20th century), you all should know who was Ronaldo. However your next generation only knows CR7 and Messi, whom aren't even the best in history, but they seem to act like they know everything about football and who is the best. Why kids... Just why...? As an adult now you should go ahead and ask kids who was Roberto Carlos, who was Rivaldo, who was Kahn, who was Van Basten. All these real players...
Sorry to offend anyone but I just want to express my feelings. Thx! :)
Other - Soccer7 years agoWhy does Hetalia include random countries?
If you know some countries (I know generally 90% of the world's countries because I have a map at home and I generally have an idea of which countries are more well known), and their histories (I have curiosities with many countries and their histories). Then Hetalia shouldn't be a problem for you to understand of whats going on (Lol, I literally laugh at each episode and I think some of you people do as well).
Now here's the part that I can't explain clearly. Hetalia included European countries (even Liechtenstein...), North American countries (USA and Canada), Asian countries (East Asia and few Southeast ones), few African countries (SEYCHELLES? REALLY? BARELY ANYONE KNEW OR HEARD OF HER BUT WHY INCLUDE HER?), even micro nations (ahem, Sealand) This here is somewhat strange, if they gave the spotlight to those famous and popular countries (Germany, Japan, Russia, France, U.S., China, Italy), why didn't it give some spotlight to other famous countries such as Greece (well sometimes, but too little), Turkey (just like Greece but not enough), Lowlands (Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. These countries are world loved and some of the best, yet Hetalia only made them appear in 2 or 3 episodes), Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. Though these guys have some of their own scenes but still too little), Middle East (lol there's none), Africa (no Egypt) and Oceania (AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND!)
So my question is: why did Hetalia choose these countries?
Thx!
7 AnswersComics & Animation7 years agoWhy do people call CR7 Ronaldo?
Okay, 1990's-2000's was when the REAL Ronaldo Fenomeno (Luis Nazario) owned his opponents ((alongside with Rivaldo, Carlos, Romario, and of course, Ronaldinho (aka 小罗 in Chinese because its the Small Ronaldo)) and shocked the world. And thats only 1-2 decades ago, not forgivable.
Now these years there's this "Cristiano" Ronaldo, which we all know a famous 29 year old Portuguese player that plays for Real Madrid and girls love his physical appearance (sigh.. I know, I know). So he has these other names, CR7 (he currently wears the number 7 after Raul left), CR, and RONALDO? Wait what? Okay, here's the thing: Just because he got the world's attention with/because of his pure hardworking skills doesn't mean that he's the best of history (nowhere close to Ronaldo, aka THE REAL ONE). When people (especially teens and kids) mentions "Ronaldo", I would always ask, "Which one?" And they feel like I'm a dumbdonkey (yes, a dumb-donkey) because I don't know who CR7 is(I do, but he never deserved the name of "Ronaldo"). Well guess what ignorant kids. Who was the Real Ronaldo in the past generation?
Now I have nothing against CR (he was the first football player I ever heard of) and I admire his beast abilities. But calling him "Ronaldo" is just too far; Ronaldo accomplished much more feats than this Cristiano. Is it because of long name so people call CR Ronaldo in short? Is it because people forgot about Ronaldo?
Thanks! :)
3 AnswersOther - Soccer7 years agoWhy do people even say "nobody cares"?
It's so common today, like whenever you do something that's supposed to get some attention and humor, somebody pops out of nowhere and say "nobody cares". Which is pretty stupid, because if that person literally said it out loud, then that makes that person a complete idiot (why? BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT THAT PERSON CARES!). Now instead of you getting humiliated, that person humiliated him/herself because he/she just wants attention as well? I have so much anger towards this phrase because it's so damn annoying, why do they even say it if everyone never cared at first place?
Thanks in advance! :)
7 AnswersEtiquette7 years agoWhich Atletico was stronger?
When nobody expected Atletico Madrid to make it to this far (but me and few other Atletico fanatics), they decided to lurk in the shadows playing like a regular club until SUDDENLY BOTH FCB AND CHELSEA GOT THEIR DONKEYS KICKED (plus La Liga first place)! Speaking of the Atletico finals, wasn't there one back then in 1974 when Atletico made it to the finals but then got knocked out by Bayern (Real Madrid got revenge for Atletico by beating Bayern with 5-0 this time and Atletico got revenge for FCB by beating Chelsea as well)? So which time was Atletico stronge? 1974 or today?
1 AnswerUEFA Champions League7 years agoWhy didn't Communism in Europe end sooner?
We all know that the Revolutions of 1989 helped end Cold War 2 years later and made America the sole world power (plus ending Communism in Europe and many other nations). Many new countries were formed (yay! Hooray! The world's at peace once again... No not really). However I have a question: Why didn't the Revolution begin earlier and why didn't Soviet civilians protest earlier than before so that peace between the world may be more possible?
Thx
5 AnswersHistory7 years agoWhy is the NYC subway so dirty?
I know that my predecessors in Answers asked this but no one actually answered throughly; I know that the metro system began about 2 centuries ago (third or fourth oldest behind London Underground and Paris Metro and another one that I forgot), and over the years it served millions of passengers (and I'm talking about MILLIONS, which are served worldwide so its not much of a surprise lol), and over the years it will get crowded, cramped, dirty, crappy and OLD (YES, VERY OLD). But come to think of it; Seoul Metropolitan, Tokyo Metro, Beijing Subway and some others serve much more than what the Apple does and yet some of their metro subways (ESPECIALLY SEOUL, ITS SO SEXY!) are clean as Iceland.
London Underground is older than New York City Subway, but they're clean and looks pretty fixed everywhere, yet the city where I live in can't fix the problems? What's with the system? Can somebody please break this down and answer me?
Thx! :)
2 AnswersNew York City7 years agoWhy can't Netherlands ever win WC?
Honestly, if the lowland weed orange is so good at football and is considered to be one of the world's best why can't they win a major event (league, cup)? They had so many great and fantastic players; not to mention Cruijff the genius plus the trio (Van Basten FTW) that made A.C. Milan become the best club in football history (in history, yes Milan was the best but sadly only for awhile). Whats going on with their national team? Can't they cooperate properly or something else that stopped them dead on the track? They made to runners-up (3 times) but what about the finals? NEEE ZE STERVEN (not sure if I said that right but oh well)!

Slim Shady... Was known for his black sheep (lol, he's one of the few white rappers out of the black ones) in hip hop... His well known albums and singles... His natural rapping talent... And dissing other celebrities? Christina Aguilera, Michael Jackson, oh too many. But in return only few well known ones made a comeback at him, so what about the majority rest of those victims that Shady dissed? Did they even do anything about it or did they ignore it like it was nothing?
Another related question: Did that fool Weezy even know that Shady had dissed him in "No Love" as of today?

3 AnswersRap and Hip-Hop7 years agoWhy do people think of Americans as ignorant?
Everybody (even immigrants) are always saying Americans are ignorant and stupid and knows nothing about the outside world. Like really? If they are so stupid and ignorant, I don't see why they became the world power and the country itself still exists, is it possible for a country to be ran by some idiots and ignorant fools? I don't think so!
Okay just because there are some Americans that are ignorant doesn't mean that they all do, Americans never judge a book by it's cover, they won't say French people are stupid because one of them are, they judge by the whole thing itself. All those learning channels and shows created by Americans and how did they do it? BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT IGNORANT AND STUPID, THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!
Not everyone is perfect so I don't see why do people around the world have the right to judge America when America right now is wasting money just to help some of your people's nation, I know America shouldn't interfere with other nation's problems but at least she's trying to help them by sacraficing her economy. Why can't you people criticize my nation (China)? It's far more worse than U.S. and I don't see people criticizing Chinese people yet people COMPLIMENT on us? Like really? We have a lot of problems and because of our people (not really, its the government but the government has the brains of a Chinese as well!) we made China herself as a corrupted nation. America isn't corrupted because the people there are not stupid and ignorant bunch.

3 AnswersGender Studies7 years agoDoes the world really need U.S. interference today?
Many people hate America today and even to the point they don't deserve to be called "Americans", but please rethink: How will both WWs be without U.S. interfering or without U.S. helping us back then we may be corrupted and poor (probably, not 100%).
But today, there are organizations such as the UN (United Nations), NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), EU (European Union) and other worldwide organizations in order to accomplish peace and stability (in conclusion, to keep humans thriving in this world). But sometimes U.S. still has to help other nations (Pakistan, Afghanistan, almost Syria but thank god they didn't, and more) fight miltias and Islamists by going to their own soil. Some of those nations began to hate U.S. because of this and criticize her, so does the world still need U.S. help today? If U.S. can stop interfering, their economy may recover much more quickly.
