I thought I would share some thoughts with you all about what I have seen so far on ATS. I thought that this site was about UFO's and Conspiracies and Mysteries and interesting things like that. But what I have seen and heard from people is a little strange to say the least.

There seem to be very little intelligent discussion going on here. Very little indeed. Whether its about Obama, or UFO's or anything there seems to be a number of people who comment, a large number in fact that are just ...well shall I just say coming across as though they are a little damaged.

1) Im shocked at the amount of racisms on this site. It seems every conversation about Islam or Obama ends up being a racist rant by some of ATS members. Some of the most horrible things have been said.

2) Sexism - There seems to be a lot of men on ATS with ancient and very crude views on women.

3) Extremist Religion - Again there seem to be some real hot heads on ATS with some very concerning views about the way religion should be enforced.

4) Homophobia - Think I just saw a thread about gays being burnt in hell....that says it all. Who are you to judge Mr. Homophobe. thought the bible said judge not less ye be judged. He who is without sin cast the first stone. But again, i have seen some very worrying views on the subject.

4) Anti - religious extremism - The shear amount of hatred coming out of ATS for religion at the moment is huge. I know I sometimes struggle myself, but as long as people are balanced and not extreme I'm okay with whatever you pray to.

5) Very little truth - There are a large number of people here who simply make things up. They join a debate, start arguing and just make stuff up to prove their point.

I think ATS should block and ban more users. Im all for free speech, but then there is just opening up ATS to tides of negativity which is not serving any purpose.

And , okay, if the doom sayers here do say that this might block free speech, well I can see that point. In which case I have another message.

Im disappointed, very very disappointed, dis-heartened and saddened that there is so so much hatred and horrible thoughts in this world, that some of you feel that this is a faceless place to rant your crap. I’m sad that some of you feel that colour of sexual orientation makes you evil. I’m sorry for the world that people still think women are 2nd to men (And pets in some cases).

It truly is a sad sad world we still live in today. After 5000 years of recorded human history we still can't get the basics right.

It really does sadden me that we still can't agree on the most basic points of being human. Like all people of all colours, creeds and religions can just treat each other with respect, non-judgement and love. Agree to disagree, just get along.

This is what fair and balanced looks like.

It requires weights at both ends.

I agree!
why do you think this whole site should shut down because your not happy?
The site is here to express peoples views and opinions on what ever topic of there choosing.
I for one love this site, its is the first conspiracy forum i found and i have checked out others but found nothing as good as ATS.
Whether you agree with it or not, what you a reading are the thoughts of other people, this is what is going through peoples minds.
I have always believed that all knowledge should be heard and its up to the listener what they want to take in.

don't blame ATS for people's stupidity, it was invented long before the internet.
if you can't fight it - ignore it. simple as that.

ATS should shut itself down that's a bit much i agree that sometimes a thread can go the wrong way.
The other day someone asked me how old i was because my grammar is not too good and there is threads that i sometimes think before i post like the middle east or anything to do with Israel you usually get labeled anti-Semitism but ATS is still the best site there is a lot of good people here.

THANKYOU

Awesome, glad to have you back on board. I know it gets tough watching people "be stupid"...but hey...don't ever forget how stupid we are with them.

Just never blame ATS for the back-wash...unless of course you find out they work for the CIA-MKULTRA-ALIEN-Illuminati-TASK-FORCE.

Then we revolt!

Now I know what you "want", but you better start getting ready for what you are "going to get".

I want a lot of things but I can't be betting on wishes.

I hear you...I really do...but...you need to get used to the idea of "no one is going to fix the world" and it is very possible for it to get incredibly worse.

But I promise you one thing...there are enough "good people" out here to "not lose all faith in mankind".

Why am I not surprised that a self-loathing male also hates the places he chooses to spend his time.

Heres a hint, if you think ATS sucks, then dont let the door hit you where The lord Mars split you.

Otherwise, man up and get over the fact that not everyone thinks the way you think they should.
