Probably because there are about 7 billion of us on this planet, and with that many people it is likely that there will be weirdos, nutjobs, ignorant
people, etc, in just about every group you find.
Why are there so many crazy people on ATS!, page 1

Yeah but there is a higher percentage of whack jobs on here. Like how many people do you see at work running around acting so crazy.
By the way how did you make that picture of Bush/Obama smashed together? It looks like a friend of mine.

Lol, I have been knocked down a few points myself. Sometimes they craziness just gets under your skin. I do agree that they do a good job of monitoring all of this stuff. I can honestly say that everytime I have gotten busted on here I deserved it.

Websites like this and the mainstream media survive by attracting visitors with controversy, it would be a dead site without arguments! Though many posters appear as hell bent on breathing life into proposed Internet censorship as they are on complaining about it.
Don't be surprised if some of the more whacked comments strike you as being deliberate, there are people who get paid in this life to strike up the band. I think several of them are jumping between sites.

Ya know. You don't have to read a thread if it says monkeys flew out my butt.
I live in an area where it seems just about everybody builds a church, no matter how small or how many already exist. And there's lots of methheads and meth busts, and lots of just plain weirdness about. I come to ATS to get away from these crazies all around me.

You define the majority here as such?
After growing up watching shows such as leave it to beaver and the brady bunch, I would call crazy (defined above) as the producers, writers, etc. of shows such as South Park and Jerry Springer, as well as the guests whether animated renderings of real persons or those real people involved in scandalous private matters.
Sensationalising disfunction is but a tool. It's use is calculated.
Same with regurgitating craziness.
I've seen some threads and exchanges that are of no value. Some may feel that way about certain threads I have started, but crazy?
The majesty of the internet and personal PC is that you can, with the click of the mouse, move on.
Maybe reading a good novel is harder since the constant and avalable information is neverending on the web, and that, over time, lessens attention span that reading a book demands. Does that mean it is crazy to read a book when you can flick, twitter, tweet, text, browse and chat? or vice versa?
in that content, everyone is crazy,
except for me of course.
Crazy \Cra"zy\ (kr[=a]"z[y^]), a. [From Craze.]
1. Characterized by weakness or feebleness; decrepit; broken;
falling to decay; shaky; unsafe.
[1913 Webster]
Craze \Craze\, v. i.
1. To be crazed, or to act or appear as one that is crazed;
to rave; to become insane.
[1913 Webster]

The sad thing is that I suffer from a mental illness that makes me read a thread like "Monkies flew out my butt". What is this illness that I suffer from called.
Its just like when you are surfing channels and you get a glimpse of Jerry Springer and the title is "My mom had puppies after she had sex with my dog brother in our double wide while I watched." You have to watch.
