Violence is the last resort... it's an interesting resort with sandy beaches and sunny skies, but is still the last destination.
"Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia," says Tom Forsyth of RAD Game Tools. "'That Ug, always holding things. His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."

Violence isn't even a last resort. It simply isn't an option for me.

Haha... Well of course I'm kidding when I say that. I've never even been in a fight, but I don't plan on letting myself get brat around when someone else starts it. But no one has ever decided to, so it's all good. :) I eventually plan to tell my friends, noting the ease I'm putting into it talking about making a fursuit and such. My family doesn't even really have to know. :P
This shall pass... Megalomania... Congratulations on mutilation for life.

UPDATE: Almost done with the mask!! Furred it all but the eye area, just gotta get to that and details like the nose and teeth. Now writing for new album!

Don't worry, the furry revolution is coming! Hate will be abolished in favour of mellow happiness all year round! ^_^
Besides, the world is a constantly changing place. Who knows? Maybe furry fandom will move into general acceptance in the near future. Heres hoping!


Add me! Always nice to meet new furs :3

And the fur war begins. Millions of furs die on the battlefield, both armies led by complete and utter nutters

Not only do furries get it bad in the media, but also about 90% of the internet, who don't bother in getting to understand the interest, but condemn it, and call us perverts.



Probably because all they've seen are the yiff-crazed side of our community.
