[My Thoughts] Time to leave?

"The opinions expressed in this show do not necessarily reflect the views of Flatty Himself"
Firstly to all eAustralian's, Happy Australia Day hope everyone enjoyed a fantastic day getting wasted, throwing a snag on the barbie and enjoying a day off work.
Now, right about here I would have a cute cuddly animal to ensure everyone reads on and to make the article a little less serious and direct to anyone in particular. But sadly today, there will be no animal as my mood is pretty pissed off. If you read on, you will see why.
So to begin, there has been an something that has been riding my thoughts for sometime now and it will be revealed soon. Anyways, the PTO is over, the major threat from eIndonesia is over, yet, for some reason everyone still has their heads rammed up their rears and the bickering, fighting and insults are worse than ever. Now there are many I could point a finger at, but to avoid spamming etc from everyone we will keep that anonymous (I spelt that correct the first go!).
Why are we all still fighting, should we not be working together to get the nation back together, or does everyone not realize this as all they see and smell is... well something not pretty.
Now, what DA said was outstanding and I would love to share it with everyone. Being a politician is as much about how well you connect with people you disagree with as it is with connecting to people you agree with.
Lets all take a note.. wait maybe a page... screw it lets just take DA's entire book because it may be the one thing to stop everyone arguing and see the light (no not the light to your stomach, the one out of your rear).
Now here is the crux of all that I have written, with school approaching in 2 days, my job, x-box and may more other activities, I have considered leaving this entire game, not pull a *Insert Name Here* and move eCountries but the entire game. The arguing, the moaning the "elites" nonsense thrown around by people that clearly don't care about another persons thoughts, feelings, morals, ideas, views or opinions has driven me too far. People I looked up to now getting involved in this ridiculous spam. There is no PTO, there is no common goal, there is nothing that is exciting for me. I am not in senate, and pretty much the ADF is redundant or is going to be done so by some.
What do I have left, why stay and listen to everyone tear each other apart?
Winston Churchill said, “Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.”
So open your eyes everybody and begin to pay attention to each other, treat each other with respect, as human beings and learn to work together, not against.
We are all eAussies and we can do this, it is in our blood as patriots of our nation, band together or be left to the cold alone, to die.
So, can we do it eAustralia? Or will we tear our selves apart?

I agree with your totally Flatty, I wish we could get over the head being rammed up other peoples arses.
inspiring words
lol, eAus will never change. And never reach it's full potential because of it.
Haha. Nah eAustralia has been worse 🙂
Two words;
Icey, AustralianWarlord.
Please don't go, Flatty. 😢
Voted.
LOL i wrote about this infighting business when I started.... nearly 2 years ago.
I don't see it changing unfortunately
Farewell Flatty my friend.
You will be greatly missed

LET'S ALL AGREE ALL THE TIME. We can then be truly great.
lol
Please don't go? 🙁
You are one of my eHero T_T
You will be missed Flatty, good luck mate 🙂
i too am growing increasingly tired of this bs. i have thought about leaving (after 2 years) seriously in the last month.
the only thing that is really keeping me in the game in my new found joy new outreaching to the newbies in a non politically biased way (unlike the ANP or PaPP).
Tim Holtz u always seem so up tight and serious, loosen up. It's a game
im uptight and serious? i get abused because of my political beliefs, everything i do gets critisized, at the same time as that the people i identify with have the same things happen to them.
oh lets not forget that instead of working together to u know like win etc we are busy having pointless arguments month after month on the same issue.

sorry Tim but the only player in the PaPP that recruited new players to join the party was paul hamon so saying that the PaPP does it is just an ignorant way of looking at it. Though i applaud you for messaging new players, that has been what i have been doing for 6 months continuously and i have never in the first message ever mention the PaPP. Neither has Majester, Arfman or John Rolfe.
"im uptight and serious? i get abused because of my political beliefs, everything i do gets critisized, at the same time as that the people i identify with have the same things happen to them."
Really? I never see you get abused or criticized 😛 Who does it?
"oh lets not forget that instead of working together to u know like win etc we are busy having pointless arguments month after month on the same issue."
I agree and it's not the people everyone instantly lables as the trouble makers (me, rest of the ANP etc" It's people like XG and larni. Like the little "closing down the forum" stunt XG played today to provoke me
Still have my head up my rear? Excuse me sir, but I only just put it up!

herp
"at the same time as that the people i identify with have the same things happen to them."
case in point
also callumh123 please be quiet and stop trying to provoke me... your in the ANP not the PaPP and lets be honest here how many truly active and community participating individuals does the PaPP have?
also
"first message ever mention the PaPP"
i NEVER bring party politics into talking to new players.
Yup, same infighting day after day after day after...................
Its like watching Jersey Shore
"also callumh123 please be quiet and stop trying to provoke me... "
Callumh123 provokes everyone, i have just learnt to ignore him 🙂
I'm quoted next to Winston Churchill!
votes..
And here it goes again !
Flatty's Article makes a good point and half the comments here concede to the point!
Damn embarrasing to be an Aussie sometimes!
Lets face it, we are not an eRepublik at all. We are an eDemocracy!!
Lol, I am a new player to this game, and it became very apparent that a lot players had some serious "team-play" issues. So I just rolled along with it, trying to stay beneficially neutral towards most people. In my opinion Everybody needs too lighten up!
Oh and if you start am argument we'll lynch you and chop your balls off, period. Understand?
@Scotty
i've been out of this game over two years, and the name 'Australian Warlord' still fills me with rage.
anyway, long time no see... everyone.
Well said, I entirely agree.
Honestly, I blame the state of RL politics. Over the past three or more decades, RL politicians have increasingly forgotten how to listen to each other. Political infighting is the name of the game. It's how anyone these days knows how to do politics. If you're not belittling the ideas of your political rivals, it then is proof that your ideas are worse. It's all a lot of bullshit. And yet it is bullshit we take into eRepublik. If everyone would fight for their own beliefs as vehemently as they attacked the beliefs of others instead of attacking the beliefs of others, then eAus would be an excellent nation.
@Tim
Also, PaPP is dead so... awkward...
