Drama / My true Blockland identity.

« on: December 11, 2009, 11:27:12 PM »

I am Straton. I use a IP address for this account. I made this account to ventilate my rage over the forums. I own at politics, if you give me the chance, so why not ventilate over it? Plaz shared his philosophies with me, and I was inspired. I now realize my decisions where stupid.

I can only ask for forgiveness. With all the stress under BiT, its hard to say stable.

Off Topic / Pending HR-3500 Healthcare Bill

« on: December 11, 2009, 09:30:48 PM »

The majority of the US does not support the healthcare "bill" that is about to be rammed down our throats. We want healthcare, just not a rushed, stuffty, government-run one. The pending healthcare bill is named, "HR 3200," I am assuming "HR" stands for "Health Reform." That's exactly what it is - a stuffty reform that allows government to control one more thing in our lives.
One thing I oppose:

On Page 425 of Obama's health care bill, the Federal Government will require everyone who is on Social Security to undergo a counseling session every 5 years with the objective being that they will explain to them just how to end their own life earlier. That is basically pushing people to commit Self Delete to cut medicare spending.

Another:

The bill doesn't even cover all of the uninsured. It covers sum 29 million, and most illegal aliens. "So, Horhey... Why you in today?" "I cut myself hopping over the fence..."

Honestly, if you want to create a healthcare plan, lets do it right. The pending plan right now was just Nancy Pelosi on her period. We can't even afford a plan right now. We're in a 12 trillion debt as it is. No, really, we are. Pay a visit to http://www.usdebtclock.org/.

Post your opinions, vote in the poll. Thank you for your time.

Suggestions & Requests / Forums exclusively for players who own Blockland. (Reset Poll)

« on: December 08, 2009, 05:56:48 PM »

The Blockland Forums should be exclusively for the players who own the game. This will eliminate the need for banning because of trolls, alternate accounts by a banned user, and make it easier to track posts. If there is a troll who decides to post pictures of a kitty being mashed to death, there is no need to IP search the starfish. Most of you may be aware of the RTB forums, for they have a similar setup.


READ THIS!

Please read the whole topic before voting. Come to a conclusion about this before you vote. The vote will be reset on 12/09/09 @ 9:30 PM EST.

Thank you for your contributions and votes.

Drama / Bisjac calls it quits.

« on: December 05, 2009, 11:12:36 PM »

The following link is a link to his profile.

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;u=1934

Note that his signature is a sympathy post itself. If you recall that Badspot permanently banned Azimuth/Inaxio for doing the absolute same.

This violates Rule-#5:

Do not make posts about how you are leaving the forums. Just leave.[/b] 
    * Do not make posts about how the game isn't fun for you anymore.  Just stop playing.
    * Do not make posts about how you are going to kill yourself.  Just do it. 

Bisjac should be banned for his sympathy post, as Azimuth was banned for his.

Drama / Inv3rted

« on: December 03, 2009, 08:55:36 PM »

We all know the forum user, Inv3rted. Recently, he has accused me of being Maximum. Since, about every post I make, he compares me to Maximum with some stuff comparison. I think he thinks I'm Maximum because am a Libertarian that turns to FOX News for news. I understand that we have different views, but he takes to a whole new level.

I posted a topic about a Roblox fan getting me suspended, this is what he had to say:

My bet is with him making this up. He does smoke for attention, after all.

He has implied a lot more stuff, comparing me to Maximum. But honestly, I don't want to fight. I have sent a him a message about a compromise, asking him what he expected out of it, and am still waiting for a response.

Off Topic / Robloxians at school get me suspended.

« on: December 03, 2009, 07:07:47 PM »

I was telling my friend about Polymer's RP and the drug add-on. A kid walking by to turn in his paper overheard me, and went to tell on me. Mr. Hume asked me to come up to the class and go to the office. As I went back to get my stuff, I said to the kid, "What the forget is your problem?" "I'm a Roblox fan." Wtf. I was later suspended for talking about drugs in school. On Friday, I'm gonna kick his ass. This is the 10th grade, grow some balls.

Off Topic / Gay guy eaten alive by bears.

« on: November 29, 2009, 10:47:18 AM »

We all remember Steve Irwin. Watching on TV, "That idiot is gonna get eaten one day." Well... Timothy Treadwell signed a contract with Planet Green TV to live with the bears for 2 years. He raised a few bears. He went back to see his progress. He was happy. A month after, him and his girlfriend where found dead, appeared to be eaten alive by his cubs; that he raised. I was watching his show on Planet Green, I couldn't decide if he was a man or  A woman. Oh yeah, his show was called, "The Grizzly Man Diaries." Lmfao.

DON'T PLAY WITH BEARS. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE GAY.

Off Topic / All government sucks.

« on: November 28, 2009, 01:01:49 AM »

And as soon as everyone figures this out, the world will be THAT MUCH better. America is going down the same path Europe is just coming out of. It started in the Bush Administration and it won't end until someone with common sense comes in. I have a problem with big government. I always did. I don't like the government deciding if I can or can't go to the doctor's on Tuesday (Obama's 627 Health Care Bill), or them raising my taxes so they can build tunnels for turtles, or for them to pay the UN.

This is a warning to all Americans, WAKE UP.


THE BELL CURVE:

 LEFT
Communism, Fascism, Socialism, Liberalism.

RIGHT
Anarchy, Conservatism.

FIGURE IT OUT!

The 2012 election will be a unique one. I am predicting that there will be a third party, thus loving everything up. The Libertarian Party. This will be an overwhelming party that will turn our bi-partisan system into a tri-party system. What you have to understand is that the bi-partisan system is loving this country up.
