A lesson on courtesy!

Thank you for checking out Sonic Blast! We try to go above and beyond what is expected in a Sonic forum or any forum in general. We hope you enjoy your visit.

Sonic Blast sets itself apart with a genius ranking system that is modeled after a monarchy styled government based around the Sonic Universe, brilliant skins themed from Sonic based characters and classic Sonic Zones from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on Sega Genesis, entertaining topics, contests, and a highly detailed, well written, indexed rule system for your convenience with many more thrilling features and over two years of being online!

Despite the monarchy styled ranks for our staff, Sonic Blast is a democratic forum and listens to member's suggestions, giving members a bigger say in what takes place. We are lenient and do not rule over people with an iron fist. Registration is simple, fast, and completely free.

Playstation Network ID: camaro126 Blog Blog of Cheese	Be kind! Kind words bring life, but cruel words crush your spirit. I'm sure everyone here has been hurt by someone somewhere saying cruel words to you. No one likes the pain associated with that, so why is it ok to inflict it on others? In doing so, you are making yourself as bad as those cruel people that you have had experience with. Don't be so selfish and look at it from their point of view. Would you want to have someone cruely disdain something you worked hard on and are trying to make it good(whether it be fanart, a task at a job, schoolwork or whatever)? No! So treat the same person the way you want to be treated. Makes sense, and if more people did this the world would be a better place. Now there is such a thing as "tough love". In which you are honest to help the said person improve. This, unlike many of you think, needn't be all the time. However, it is required in life at times so the person doesn't go on thinking they are awesome when they are not(as seen in American Idol LOL). When giving "tough love" or constructive criticism it is best if you try to help them out. If you really don't like it you would do your best to try to make it better, unless you don't really care, in which case you should not even be responding to it. And maybe your best is just telling them where they could improve, THAT'S FINE as long as you're not cruel. Maybe the person over reacts and is overly sensitive. Well if you just say "I don't like it, it could use improvements" and point out the flaws and that upsets them then so be it, at least you still kindly helped them out and there is no reason to continue discussing it.

It's sad how something so "DUH" needs to be taught to people...

I wish they would. If everyone could be nice, while still expressing their opinions, we would have this problem. These days, people get so defensive when it comes to their thoughts. They don't seem to realize that everyone thinks differently. Just being nice to one person will start a chain reaction of niceness. It's good to know that there are still some people who believe in these truths.

	Spoiler: click to toggle BOB PAGE Your appointment to FEMA should be finalized within the week. I've already discussed the matter with the Senator. WALTON SIMONS I take it he was agreeable? BOB PAGE He didn't really have a choice. WALTON SIMONS Has he been infected? BOB PAGE Oh yes, most certainly. When I mentioned that we could put him on the priority list for the Ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic. WALTON SIMONS This plague -- the rioting is intensifying to the point where we may not be able to contain it. BOB PAGE Why contain it? Let it spill over into the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end, they'll beg us to save them. WALTON SIMONS I've received reports of armed attacks on shipments. There's not enough vaccine to go around, and the underclasses are starting to get desperate. BOB PAGE Of course they're desperate. They can smell their death, and the sound they'll make rattling their cage will serve as a warning to the rest. WALTON SIMONS Mmm. I hope you're not underestimating the problem. The others may not go as quietly as you think -- intelligence indicates they're behind the problems in Paris. BOB PAGE A bunch of pretentious old men playing at running the world. But the world left them behind long ago. We are the future. WALTON SIMONS We have other problems. BOB PAGE UNATCO? WALTON SIMONS Formed by executive order after the terrorist strike on the Statue. I have someone in place, though. I'm more concerned about Savage -- he's relocated to Vandenberg. BOB PAGE Our biochem corpus is far in advance of theirs, as is our electronic sentience. And their... ethical inflexibility has allowed us to make progress in areas they refuse to consider. WALTON SIMONS The augmentation project? BOB PAGE Among other things -- but I must admit that I have been somewhat disappointed in the performance of the primary unit. WALTON SIMONS The secondary unit should be online soon. It's currently undergoing preparation and will be operational within six months. My people will continue to report on his progress. If necessary, the primary will be terminated. BOB PAGE We've had to endure much, you and I, but soon there will be order again, a new age. Aquinas spoke of the mythical City on the Hill. Soon that city will be a reality, and we will be crowned its kings. Or better than kings. Gods.
