What does Blockland Forums think Blockland Forums would be like in 2018-2020, if it still exists?
Not sure what you mean, but It will definitely exist.

During this time, a good chunk of the community today would be 18-20 years old and starting to be independent and stuff.
Different chunks of the community have came and gone, I doubt half the people we have now will even be around, or post often.  We will have new players in the forums.  It's been like this ever since it started out in 2005.  And It will continue this way.

What do you think you would be doing during this time? Would you still be on Blockland Forums? Do you think that all the 14-15 year olds will leave and then a new generation of 14-15 year olds will take the stage?
Yes as I stated above.  Some individuals will stay as there are old members around now.

    if its not completed your getting detention.[/li]
Is there no policy coercing that in your school system?  When I was in high school teachers could not give detention for missing assignment, and I agree with that policy, if an individual does not complete said work, then it counts against their grade.

Here is the full report of Nestle Chocolate Cookie Dough: http://www.nestleprofessional.com/united-states/en/BrandsAndProducts/Brands/NESTLE_TOLLHOUSE/Pages/11003897.aspx?UrlReferrer=https%3a%2f%2fwww.google.com%2f

From reading the ingredients you didn't eat anything that would cause you to do anything you're describing. Best of luck.

This means nothing.

Any major war that happens and there will be drafts now.
I there's another world war, there won't be time to fight a traditional, ground/air war. It'll probably be nuclear and over in a limited time.  Will there be a draft if a small-medium war occurs? Probably not because most powerful countries have nukes.


i like this discussion. first discussion i've had in a long time where it didn't turn into an argument.
Yes because most of the forums is covered in petty Blockland drama, I am not saying all of it, but most.  Things like this are actually worth debating about.  In the future i'll post more conversational threads that are enjoyable to debate and communicate to others about.

"My car's engine is the best in town and no one can do a thing about it!"

...8 translations later, Bing gives us:

"My engine is the best in the city, you do not do this work!"

Yeah I would rather not learn one of the most complex languages to exist this day and age.  With all it's different hanzi symbols, It's not phonetic either.

Apologies if this was already posted, but if not, hopefully this brings to your attention.  Before World War II our Military was not as it was now.  But the Pentagon is attempted to set budget cuts to set us back to how much smaller our military was.  Deductions in military spending is what it is.  Forces and weapons programs address the stark reality of growing budget pressures at home while pointing to the improbability that the United States will engage in a large ground war.

"The Army would be reduced to between 440,000 and 450,000 — a 10 percent deeper cut than originally planned and the lowest level since 1940, when it had 267,000 active members."

"Special operations forces will grow from 66,000 to 69,700 to deal with counterterrorism and crCIA response."
