I thought you had called a truce.

Really
I think public awareness about Atlantis, Lemuria, and things of the sort should be raised. I mean are you not the least bit curious. Regardless if they had advanced technology or not is irrelevant, It would be fascinating to know anything more about a culture lost in history.
What if they knew something we didn't, think of what great mysteries could lie in a civilization as enigmatic as Atlantis. Do you really think that we would find solid evidence to completely support the theories about Atlantis in a short time frame? No, just as it took many years to develop the accepted theories about Egyptian culture, it will take a long time to piece together the puzzle. Not to mention that the best evidence is probably at the bottom of the ocean, possibly buried. Oceans which cover roughly 2/3 of the planet, and are very difficult to explore.
In the end, why do you gotta be such a buzz kill. Live a little.
You too!
-Have a nice day

Who says it's an American obsession?
i agree
Most of the places the investigations lead to require a significant degree of foreign interest before we can even begin to explore.
Please share this evidence with us.
Besides, Atlantis has more than a little evidence supporting its former existence
and who doesn't want to be the discoverer of a new and strange land - or whatever is left of it?

Yes, i am curious, but not to the point of over exaggerating every thing to the extremity of trying to connect it to completely irrelevant subjects.
Yes, a lot of spectacular things could be uncovered by exploring a site such as those similar to the myth of Atlantis. No, i do not expect rapid acquirement of evidence suggesting Atlantis is real, nor do i want to see people blindly accepting it as fact.
The last place (but most often place) i want to hear it is ATS...where i like to chill out.

Oh, you want me to share evidence with you? I think not. After all, if you want to sound like you know what you're talking about, you should already have done that. Unless you DON'T know what you're talking about, which means you would eventually ask for evidence under the guise of challenging another person's viewpoint - which you are doing right now!
Nope, I'll leave it to you to prove you actually know what you're talking about, because I don't think you do. I am fully willing to admit when Americans are at fault for something, but making my country a scapegoat without due cause is another matter entirely.edit on 29-9-2012 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
What is accepted as proof by some may be considered a theory to others.
You challenged my observations by suggesting there is evidence, and i want to see what you have that makes you believe in this Atlantis.
By the way, this thread is not debating about whether or not Atlantis is real, but the obsession of the American TV programs and many ATS members regarding Atlantis. Especially the theory that they had great technology. It is just absurd.

Just like your OP, right?

What reason do you have to believe that Atlantis didn't exist? I think that's the better question. I'm a bit lazy this morning - I had a rough night - so forgive me if I don't humor your antics.
