The 10 Commandments Of ATS

1. Thou shalt not believe in God.

2. Thou shalt not be Pro-Life

3. Thou shalt not write a wall of text.

4. Thou shalt not use all caps in your thread title.

5. Thou shalt not ignore the spell checker.

6. Thou shalt not even contemplate any form of government other than capitalism.

7. Thou shalt ignore any valid points that contradict your own, even when you're wrong.

8. Thou shalt always hatefully attack someone who quotes the Bible.

9. Thou shalt not oppose the theory of evolution.

10. Thou shalt know everything about everything before posting anything.

Follow these commandments and your experience here on ATS will be filled with stars and flags. Break any of them and the usual crowd will pounce on you without restraint.

I gotta disagree with a couple of those...

Usually if you make yourself sound like a white bigoted conservative Christian close-minded redneck American you win here.

You forgot 11: Thou shall not make pretentious Lists.

It seems I break commandments 1, 8, 9 and 10?

Of course, saying I believe in God, SOMEONE will automatically respond and say I'm guilty of being a moron. Hey, at least I'm grammatically correct, good sirs and ladies.

Other than #'s 7 and 10, the motto of ATS; Deny Ignorance, is the explanation as to why you are pretty correct in your list.

If you don't like it, I'm sure there are plenty of sites, hosted in the Bible Belt, where you can feel free to spread ignorance in all caps, using terrible grammar and spelling.

6. Thou shalt not even contemplate any form of government other than capitalism.

Dude that point is completely false. A vast number of people on ATS hate capitalism. It would be more appropriate to say "Thou shalt not promote communism."

I think you deserve the flag for the thread.

Since RedBarron 626 made Commandment #11, I'll make number 12.

Thou shall not troll, nor feed such creatures.

Crap! I'm already guilty of breaking #12!

Spoken like a true racist, militant, white hating, no morals, no religion, closed minded, anti-american, dirt bag.

Now, now...control your emotions.

Read number 12 for reference.

Commandment # 13 - Thou shalt not moderate a thread if thou is not a mod

reply to post by IpsissimusMagus




That pic is funny!

Not trying to Mod, just trying to redirect the thread back on topic.

I thought the first commandment of ATS was:

Thy shall not talk about the ATS Commandments.....

Oh wait... that's Fight Club!

Having a bad day?
Gosh, by the look of your Avatar picture Adam Ant isn't looking as well as he used to.
