Im concerned. I came to ATS to try to get the other side of the story. Not to see the same crap that is all over the media. Why do we need 4 different forums for politics. realy! One should be sufficient. Politics is always the same... Someone is greedy... Someone lied.... Someone is gonna start WW3.. Someone cheated... Give it a break people. Who cares who won the election. Nothing will change. Its all a cherade (SP?). "The events on here are real, the names and faces have been changed to protect the GUILTY!" Above Top Secret.... There is nothing secret about politics Except its all a big sham. Something else to put the veil over eyes for another 7 or 8 months. Please people dont turn this super cool site into a political BS site. I vote no more political bs on this site. If you agree please star and flag, if not then please bash me and my silly views. all welcome.

We'll you're views aren't silly, but they aren't original either.

Every once in a while someone gets on here and rants about wanting to abolish the political boards here at ATS. The answer I'll give you is the one I give everyone who proposes this:

If you don't like it, don't read it.

Keep on reading your reptilian and UFO threads and you'll be fine. Why read something that upsets you or that you disagree with?

Just leave it alone.

The presidential process may very well be a shame.


But, the idea of disscusion of political ideals, and the disscusion of those ideas is very important.

In the days of ATS lore, there were even more forums, one for each corner of political disscusion.

Now, the lines are drawn, and we are corned into fighting each other.


Pay attention not the the flashy headlines.

Pay attention to the details, the issues, and the prinicples of ones self.


ATS is a public forum, expressing the opinion of the people.

Your distaste for ATS is misplaced in rage at ATS, but should be pointed at the general populace...

In a free society, we get what we deserve.

i've been on ATS for so long that it's all repetitive, just having new names makes the whole thing interesting.

i've got a standard answer for this stuff too...... "so go post something better", no really, please do. i always love to read new stuff, even the lies can teach us something.

besides, here's hoping it changes, it might not be expected but hoping to have your expectations squashed isn't always a bad thing.

I wish someone or something would change my views on politics and im not saying ATS is bad for all the political stuff im just saying that maybe it should have its own private little sector. maybe not posted in 4 or 5 different political forums. thats all. Appreciate the feed back. Back to my silly little life.
