But what about Warhammer 40k? All the races in there are violent warring races, and it's implied they wouldn't have survived without ruthlessness.

…Warhammer is silly.
Not only that, but it’s science fiction, which is also silly most of the time. I’m not saying science fiction can’t be interesting and entertaining, but it’s not something you should use as reference in certain debates. After all, most science fiction uses more creative thinking than critical thinking.
Do radical vegans ever harass you?

…No, I don’t think they do.
…I don’t even think there are any radical vegans in Ponyville.
I would assume that a visiting alien would be some sort of scout for an empire looking for new lands to conquer. Sort of like the defunct British Empire.

…British Empire?
…Anyway… I believe they would just choose some other planet, and, with science and magic, turn that planet into a habitual planet of their own instead of using conquest to spread. If a civilization has advanced to a point where they can travel into outer space, they’re a civilization of peace, as a civilization of violence would surely fall before that point.
Since you're a bear of science, could you tell us about UFOs and Aliens in Equestria?

There are certainly some unidentified flying objects reported throughout Equestrian history…
…But aliens? Seriously? Now I’m not ruling out the existence of other life forms in the universe, but there would absolutely be no reason for them to come here… Unless they’re extremely sentimental tourists… Or they’re interested in trying out our food.
…Anyway, except for a few reasons like those reasons, there honestly wouldn’t be any rational explanation for extraterrestrials visiting.
I honestly despise the idea of UFOs being aliens. Everyone just seems to throw that explanation around without using common sense, and it gets in the way of analysis…
Back when I was in college… Or at least I think it was college… I was a member of a UFO club. One day, we had gotten our paws and hooves on a recently-taken picture of a small unidentified object flying at the front of a rainbow. Rather than acting rationally and doing research and meditation, most of the club jumped to the conclusion of aliens without even giving consideration to the fact the small object in the picture had wing-like limbs.
The resulting frenzy of foolishness led to me leaving the club and basically dropping that hobby.
…I digress. Most of the time, UFOs are just going to be stunt fliers, weird dragons, or some kind of magical beasts.
…But when it’s not most of the time… The mind can be allowed to ponder… What can exist on this world of our own?
…At least until some party-pooper starts shouting aliens. Then you just shrug and move on.
I feel sorry for you.
I really do.
Lyra loves you, but she doesn't want to stay committed to a non-pony. You're just a phase she's going through, where's she latched on to an anchor to keep herself stable for a while.
I imagine in a few months, she'll be seeing some stallion instead of you, teddy bear.
You should probably just break up with her now to avoid future heartbreak.

I fixed that last question for you: Have you considered beating Lyra AT GAMES? It would probably lead to some much needed improvement WITH HER GAME-PLAYING SKILLS. Just be sure to grab her horn so she can't use any magic on youR GAME BOARD.
…Eh, I’m still not okay with that last bit of of the question, but over all, it’s an improvement.

No.
I will never hurt her.
Why did you make Lyra cry you insensitive jerk?
Anonymous
Because I gave her a honest answer to a question she asked me, but we sorted it all out though.
Let me set something out, though. I will never make Lyra cry on purpose. I refuse to be that kind of bear.
How does it feel knowing Lyra finds Mr. Cake more attractive than you?

She didn’t ever say anything remotely like that. Stop putting your own words into the mouths of others.
What is your opinion of otherkin and other "transracial" individuals?
Anonymous
…I don’t see the word otherkin in an encyclopedia, and all I got for looking up the word transracial was websites about adoption….
In any case, adopting is a splendid thing, no matter the races involved.
Edit: Out of curiosity, I did google the word otherkin.
…I’m honestly not sure what to think. On one paw, it’s weird. On the other paw, why would anypony actually think they’re actually a space dragon or something ridiculous like that?
