It doesn't make me clever or give me rights, but it does give me a retrospective view of ATS.
I've had fun and mental jousts. Some won, many lost, and my opinion occasionally rerouted.
As I remember we used to present an argument or theory and debate it, but now it seems we present the be all and end all scenario and challenge others to shoot us down.
It's not that ATS is irrelivant. Just kinda lost it's soul.
Am I wrong

I have noticed this recently as well. People tend to stand on a "soap box" and flame anyone who has a differing opinion.
I am really sick of the my country is this or this country is evil because... debate. We are truly divided on ATS. Specifically the US members. I'm honestly done trying to prove I'm not the ignorant American they see on TV
Did ATS die

I have been lurking around ATS since '99 and I've yet to see a single person admit that they were wrong

F me. I had a nice long reply to this but my iPad #ed me over. Anyways, the jist of it was, as the membership grows so do the threads and whatever YOU are looking for gets diluted. Doesn't mean the other 99% are no good, just not what you are looking for. Don't take the memberships contributions for granted, without them we are less informed, if not entertained.

Yup. That's what happens when conspiracy theories become part of popular culture and a fad at that.
