Please read the U2U below:

???????? buddy!!

Long time no u2u...hope all is well.

First off - forgive the 'vibe' of this u2u as I am quite baked...

I had an idea for a thread that I think would be fun for all members of ATS...

It would be a thread that allowed members to post "classic quotes"...or more to the point - a place to post funny, provocative, enlightening, ect...posts from other members that garners more attention...

It would obviously be an "open thread" for good as it hsould be a thread that evolves with the site...I can't recall just how many awesome quotes have come from the members here - from all 3 groups...skeptics, believers and on-the-fence-#s....

One rule would be that you cannot post a quote from yourself - this would prevent global narcissism...actually, that would be the only rule. And you know why..? This place is about freedom of speech, so to say, "you cannot post negative comments from other members" doesn't cut it...you would have to hope that the members would police themselves...

So there, brotha'....let me know what you think. I wanted to run this by you ('cause I value you opinion...) before I pull the trigger...

Talk to ya soon dude...


His response is mute, as I want this thread to stand on its own merits…

What I am trying to do here is create a thread that allows members to post “classic quotes” from other ATS members…
There have been so many intelligent and witty comments on this site that I couldn’t possibly keep track of a fraction of them – but if the members here go out of their way to post quotes worthy of a second look, I and many others will have the opportunity to view them.

As discussed in the above U2U, these quotes should have content that warrants attention; though I cannot prevent members from using the thread to promote their own agenda, I think the members of this site will police it accordingly, as they always do…

These quotes can come from any forum and date…but they just can’t come from yourself. This should prevent any abuse of bandwidth…please link the thread that the quote comes from as well (due diligence is always a good thing). I am hoping quotes from both ATS and BTS are shared here as each have visitors from both sides of the fence.

The one thing that I ask and seems necessary to the integrity of this thread, is that you share a brief comment regarding the quote you posted…this will give insight as to why you found it so profound, funny, ect…
This does two things – it starts the conversation off and even more importantly, it ensures that the member posting the quote isn’t anonymously promoting their own agenda…transparency is necessary...this is just a spot for kick ass comments from ATS members and nothing more.

Also, try to set up the quote with a brief description if possible...

I will start it off with a rather recent post (there were quite a few ‘old’ posts that came close, but since I was a member and following the thread at the time, it had more of an impact on me…the topic was Planet X and we all know how comical this topic can be, but the following post from defcon5 was classic big time! Not only did he utilize an image that just plain RUINED the thread, but the sarcasm and creativeness of it in so little words, was second to none IMO.

I believe this is an accurate accounting of planet X’s orbit and current location based on information from ZataTalk:



Sarcasm is the Drink of the day...

I don't believe the OP ever responded, and no wonder...!

O' ya...feel free to title your link with anything witty...I tried above - but only time will tell...

Have fun and enjoy!!

Im wealthier than most I know, so while I was bummed about the loss of the camera, I was more interested in the story. I chalked my loss as a lesson learned and nothing more. Im not going to miss the money if thats what you are curious about.

THanks for sharing more nice quotes

Two more that come to mind, both regarding the same thread, based on this photo, claimed (in the OP) to show some alien: for more informations, please visit the thread Possible Brown ET Picture, Speilberg Got it RIght

"enhancement" by the op


Quote # 1, by RiotComing
I laughed my head off when I saw that first picture. Now, if that pic was real, would you think it would be a genuine human reaction to laugh at the sight of an alien? I would doubt it. My gut reaction is that someone is having their little joke with ATS once again.

Quote # 2, by Blaine91555, in response to this post by the OP, same thread:

Amazing, so many people working hard to debunk this, I must be onto something. I guess you have to do what your paid to do, however your military logic gives you away.

I plan on retiring on what I've earned just on this thread alone. You have no idea how hard it was to alter your original photo to make it look like an ordinary back yard and crack your security to delete your picture and replace it.
My "Military Logic" tells me that this job is done. It is Miller Time!
Look, nobody is doing anything other than looking at a picture of your back yard with nothing in it other than bushes and grass. If you honestly think something is there ( a concept I'm not ready to buy into) install some yard lights.

I thought this one was quite witty...and it kinda made sense considering the topic...

The thread was The 1 item you would take to another planet

I would bring Chuck Norris. No explanation needed.

As soon as I read this quote from NuclearPaul, I just knew it would be perfect for this. Culled from a thread regarding an apparently incoming asteroid, channeled by Native Americans and remote-viewed by "Zeta and Other Stargazers" (www.abovetopsecret.com...') :

As a believer in almost everything, I must say that for some reason, I just don't buy this.


It was hilarious in the context of the thread, and it is so perfectly suited for a number of discussions on ATS.

Edit to add: internos, the two photos are fantastic . Nice find!

There that should do it.
Sorry about that,
anyway this post had me laughing all day.
It wasnt what I thought or anyone else thought it was.

For me because of the truth of the quote,

On the most important event since world war 2 and the reaction to it he highlights it against,

His honesty of the Debunking and sceptical behaviour we all show on different topics based on our interests and belief systems,

And the topic it was posted in , in which I totally agree with him, I cant get too involved with it because of the horrendous nature of the research, dangers and thought of some type of living bits of wire invading my body!

From Sunsetspawn as my current Sig in thread:

Morgellon's Identified

I'll be perfectly honest. This is one of those topics that I absolutely HAVE to ignore.

I flagged it, yes, as it is important. As for myself, I just can't get too involved.

Just like many people resist or ignore 911 because they can't handle it, I'm ignoring this.

At least I'm honest about it and I haven't started debunking irrationally.


A gem with much truth about ATS, psychology and dangers of the modern world.

Kind Regards,

Elf.

The weekend is here...hopefully we get a large influx of posts - I sure like reading some of these quotes, most of which I have never seen.

this thread needs to keep going!

OK, let's try to keep this one alive, because it does deserve it, imho:
another one, from the thread:
Are these saucers, disguised in clouds?

Perhaps these are clouds posing as saucers...
