Well, why I don't know what Fluttershy sounds like, I will confirm that Elura has a very "dainty" type voice, and kind of on the quiet side.
Also, we might be doing business in Sweden eventually. So that's related to the topic of Elura.

As squish said, so long as your criticism was based on actual facts, no you would not be bombarded with bad remarks from the rest of us.
Lord knows america fights crazy with crazy
america bombing everything has never helped anything
But yet these are not "facts", they are opinions.
American has not, and does not "
bomb everything
"
And I think we all can agree that the term "crazy" is pretty open to interpretation. I mean, was it "crazy" when we fought Hitler in WWII? Was it "crazy" when we backed South Korea against invasion from the North? Was it "crazy" when we entered the Vietnam conflict? Or when we stopped Iraq from invading Saudi Arabia in the Gulf War I?
Of all the military actions the US has been involved in, only 2 in recent history have even had any direct impact on our nation, WWII, and the current Gulf wars. Other than that, it has be the US coming to the aid of another nation, and in every one of those cases, there has been some just cause, usually an invasion of some more powerful force trying to take another free country by force, or some massive humanitarian crisis such as genocide.
Yes, many people, usually those not from the US, or those that are just "anti-war" in general, view this as us trying to be the "world police", but in fact, it is us being a protector of countries that otherwise would be overrun by some dictator, just because they can.
The one glaring exception to this was Iraq, and as I have said before, I do believe that Saddam deserved to be ousted, but the timing, the reasons, and the methods we used were all flawed.
Afghanistan has only become a mess, because we went in there with a good reason, and we fought the war in the worst possible way considering the enemy we were fighting. You cannot fight an enemy that has no rules, no cares, and is fueled by a 2000 year old, religiously motivated, absolute hatred in a conventional manner. We had 2 options, either completely and utterly destroy them, and thus the entire country (who was NOT the enemy), or go in, take the Taliban out, and just come back in 5 years after they took the country back. Instead, we fought the war half assed, and we got what we got...a quagmire, and 12 wasted years, because as soon as we leave, Afghanistan will fall right back to where it was.
and the way they treat their foreign citizens
And what way is that? Our foreign citizens have the same rights as every other citizen in America. They are free. They own businesses. They are protected by the laws and the Constitution.
Or do you mean the
illegal
aliens? Of course we treat them horribly, they are illegal. Its not like we give them heath-care and benefits. Its not like we just ignore the vast majority of them, allowing them to live and work here, without paying taxes, with little threat of deportation, let alone imprisonment. I mean, its not like we educate them in our taxpayer funded public schools or anything, or allow them to attend colleges for the same price as legal citizens.
Oh wait...we DO do all of that. Name me ANY other country that you can enter illegally, and yet still receive all that and more. Most other countries will imprison you for entering illegally. Some will outright kill you. The US government actually sued one of its own states to prevent them from even
asking
if a suspected person was an illegal.

American has not, and does not "bomb everything"
Right, I could link DOZENS of bombings that have been labeled as "collateral damage", or "mistakes in intel" Such as that aspirine factory in sudan that was bombed to hell because it was thought to be making weapons. Or the dozens of civilian homes in iraq reduced to dust with civilians inside (its hard to ignore the charred corpses) ect ect.
I'm afraid your country is a little wee bit too liberal and trigger happy with the bombs.
Other than that, it has be the US
coming to the aid
of another nation
We obviously have different interpretations of what "aid" means.
Specially chile. Salvador Allende was a democratically elected president that was removed by assassination attempt to instate dictator Pinochet. 5000 civilians dead by US death squads.
some aid.
And that's just one out of a multitude of conflicts. I don't really have a problem with the american people, or american culture, as holding them responsible for what their government does would not be fair at all, but I can't really say I approve most (if not all) of the involvements in which you "aid" others.
And what way is that? Our foreign citizens have the same rights as every other citizen in America. They are free. They own businesses. They are protected by the laws and the Constitution.
in times of peace? sure. All is peachy.
Unless you become at war with their country of origin, in which case
things like this happen.
Also, if a terrorist group from the same ethnicity as yours attacks the US in which case, the citizens will do stuff
like this.
lets be honest here, LEGAL immigrants are treated nicely and with decency in good times, but hey, in war times, or during acts of terror, the first thing to do is place the foreing ones in watch lists, in imprisionment camps, and for lynch mobs to commit hate crimes.
THAT is the main reason I don't wanna move to the US. Chavez hates the US, and that guy is also crazy, and dangerous. What if he attacks the US? what if he sponsors a terrorist hit? I'll tell you what will happen: every venezuelan in the US will live a living hell. Either because their government will screw them over, or scared panicked lynch mobs will do it themselves.
I'm sorry bro, but just as political discrimination is an UGLY side of my society, racial discrimination is also a part of yours, and when the crap hits the fan, the first place to point fingers at looking for boogiemen will be the immigrants, legal or otherwise.
I guess what I'm trying to say is: I love your country, but I fear your government. (if that made any sense)

But, Riot things cannot drop for free, AFAIK, besides, it is community made and part of it goes to creator. Also they are fresh from the oven, these sets do drop in price after 2-3 months.
Ohhhhh...
I see. I didn't know that you can randomly get them.

Another reason to not have a relationship, I think.
Maybe I should make a .doc file with all the evidence showing why I shouldn't have a relationship.
