Though I get tired of this format at times ,I consider it better than vegitating in front of a boob tube. Also the computer gives me access to
informations faster and of more variety than television.
There is a huge cross-section of peoples out here and hence a huge cross-section of opinion. It is up to us to filter out what we will believe and are
willing to accept. This is no different than in public school or on the magazine/newspaper stands.
Learn to build your own filter..in everything out here...not just on ATS/BTS/PTS.
No one out here has the obligatoin to spoon feed you what you like or think you deserve. You are responsible for building your own filter and
managing it properly..not others.
It is the responsibility of each member as well as the moderators to not let this format decend to the lowest common denominator. Hence as they
state here ...deny ignorance ...and contribute to the quality of the forum.
In this they are correct.
The advantage of this format is that we can reply back and interact with those of other and differing opinions...even like opinions. In this facet
this format is quite different. There is even a chat room where you can meet on a more personal level than just to post seperately.
Thanks,
Orangetom

I came here through a link- a link i have since forgotten about. I read the story i came for than became interested in something else, at first thought this place might have serious and rational discussions about issues but than came to realize this place isn't for that but for entertainment purposes ( for me anyways). I realize that is is full of conspiracies and all that but...WOW...most are just way out there.
. It's hard to imagine
that sane and rational people actually believe the things posted on here. Now I just come here to chuckle and the stories
but have always
wondered if people actually believe any of these wild stories or are most here for the same thing as me>>>fun. Sure there are stories on here that
are possible, and that few are here for answers to questions they have but i believe that most people on here just might be delusional and paranoid or
have mental issues or just plain looking for attention. Judging by your avatar, you maybe involved in the biggest conspiracy there is. Religion and
it's constant need to brainwash people into controlling them, so they do not want to lose thier power. We live in a new age and have since moved from
the stone ages and that there are no need for gods. I believe that there may be something after death and maybe there is a higher plane of existence
but to believe that there one creature that controls everything and that we have to worship it or suffer the consequences is insane. I have no clue as
to why people who follow religion continue to enjoy life, especially when they think that everything has already been planned out for them. How can
you live if you think that every decision you have made was already done for you. I personally would feel like a machine just fullfilling my duty.
