Hi fomalhault, please give us some links of threads that you are reffering. I have not really seen it that much, probably it is not really my interest.

In my opinion, these two that you raised are valid conspiracy items. But of course it depends on how are you going to make the thread, on how you are going to present the subject. It also depends on where you are posting it BTS, ATS, etc.

IMHO

Cheers.
SFT

Controversial subjects such as the two you mentioned will usually get more replies and will have a good chance of hitting the front page.

I suggest you start using your MyATS page to make your ATS experience better.

All of these were culled in the last 10 min. from the front page, the hot topics pages, and the top topics pages. I get your point about there being real religious conspiracies, but most of these consist of post upon post of personal opinion with very little research being done. The quality of many of the posts are just horrible (in the grammatical and relevant sense).

That's a good recommendation. However, I don't really have a favorite area. I like all of them except the political and religious ones. I have been relying on the popular list to browse but it seems it is being inundated by garbage lately.

It's more likely that a few of us non-fundamentalist traditionalists of a Conservative Libertarian mind frame enjoy a good laugh.

ATS is a Large-Scale-Media-Outlet


It has Grown into this...

This, power that is created itself, is accessed by anyone who wants to.

And contribuited to by anyone who wants to...


Thus,

Those with an ideology of inflicting their views, will flock to mediums of power.



This is nothing more them AT LEAST Thousands of years of human history being played out on a new medium...

The internet...
And that sub-medium is ATS...


The movement in the death of the Western World, is the elimination of moral truths, and the ushering in of a new religion, and first, they must destroy the old religion.

Homosexuality is not a new issue, it has existed as long as we have.

And this is not the first time that certain societies have embraced it, and certain powers, promoating it.


What made AboveTopSecret will destroy ATS.

At the start, everything was open to discusion.
You could talk freely...

Over the years... ATS grew... this little idea of free thought, ignighted a segment of the world that was tired of the Politacaly Correct world where everything was a lie and a fraud...

ATS bears the burden of all living things, the way of decay... and make no mistake about it, ATS is alive, it grows and changes it min. With new ideas, stories, and restrictions...

Yes... Restrictions...
Things were called into question...
What WAS accetible topics?
Could the average member really be trusted to talk freely?


Restrictions were put in place...

Starts small...
Certain topics...
Or hobbies...
Then it moves to to words...
Then... it moves to what 'they think you are saying'...


The system gets bogged down with rules and restrictions...

And the inherent limitations that come with the emotions of humans, and the privilages of power.




Now we bring it back to your main point...
Whats with the threads, on certain topics...

Those are what ATS is now... Those are the topics that ARE the acepeted ones..

You say you want ATS to get back to its roots...
My friend, that is not possible... not unless you got a time travel device... Which, acording to SOME people on this site... you just might...



Now Rather then Mangle the idea with words anymore, which you can see is a specialty of mine, I give you the answer to all your questions... In words more graceful then i ever could.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murder is less to fear.


--Marcus Tullius Cicero
Roman orator, statesman 42 B.C"



We are mere actors repeating out a story...
Only the Charaters and Scenes change...


If you ever think your the first to think of something... Your a fool...


This world is magnifigicent

And the only object to Human inovation, is censorship...



Now, with all that in mind...
Figure out your part in the play, our point in the play, and what these Facts that are happening, means is going to happen, in this great big Play called Human history


Now... im sorry... cause... you were only asking about the Shadows on the wall... and I stated talking about WHAT is making the shadows on the wall...


You must realise, that what you are seeing, is merely the result of what you are NOT seeing...

And if you only read one sentence... let it be ^^ THAT one

"Why So Many Religion and Gay Threads?"

Divide and conquer...

I've noticed a whole lot of anti-religious trolling over the last few months. The pro religious stuff ends up in BTS pretty quick usually (or it was started there in the first place.) Typically consisting of the types of scholarship, insights and reasonableness one can find at your local Sunday school class for toddlers.


They go something like this:
The Bible says God is all-powerful.

But, that means that God could make a hot dog so big He couldn't eat it.

But, if He couldn't eat it He can't be all-powerful.

Logix... I haz it! Christians r dum!

A "free-thinker" can expect several dozen stars and flags for something like this. Hence... many more will follow. This stuff has been sticking around in the Conspiracies in Religion and Origins & Creation forum instead of being moved to BTS where it belongs. It's a big big place, I'm sure the mods are doing their best.

The recent Israel-Palestine conflict is probably fueling some of the religious threads too. 'Til then, you can just ignore 'em... that's what I do. Haven't noticed many 'gay threads' but, as was already mentioned, with the recent election it would make sense.

The zealots and/or insecure on both sides tend to do most of the talking. Same as it ever was.... *shrug*


ATS is what we make it - user-generated content. Internet Discussion Rule Number 1: Don't feed the trolls. They eventually go elsewhere to feed or just starve to death. Either way, problem solved. No matter if your pro or anti whatever... look for the quality discussions, let the others go.

What else can you do?
