Everyone has their own personality coupled with the enviroment they grew up in. I am not sure which is more important but both are.
You must be a psychology major. Man you guys LOVE to split hairs and get all technical.
I try to keep it high school and old school as much as possible. Like a 57 chevy!
More like a high school drop out who got a GED and went to some community college and decided to stop.. I just think and research a lot. I was going to school to become an electrical engineer some day.
I'll keep it simple:
I agree with your first point.

I've only been in the 9/11 forum twice and it's because I stumbled in there by accident. The people were exceptionally rude and each side hangs on to their notions about 9/11 RELIGIOUSLY. It's insane. And some of the theories are whacked. Seriously whacked. But if you interject common sense, suddenly you are a 'shill' or whatever. I don't go in there. The 9/11 forum is an embarrassment IMHO.
If you meant all the other forumns, then yes I agree with you.
Yes .. my comments are about the other forums.
AND SO ARE WE MY FRIEND SO ARE WE WITH GOOD REASON

Sometimes my brain hurts. Is it because my brain filled up too much from the input and could not output quickly enough and expanded so much it closed off the places where outflow would normally leave the brain?
Like right now, my brain is starting to hurt just a little.
ehh sorry. All I meant was that programming exists from everything around you and based on that any input that comes in has to get filtered through that.
Meaning that once you spy and collect enough data on the internet as a whole you know how to be able to steer public opinion without brute forcing it.

Text You've probably run into them before -- those seemingly random antagonizers who always end up diverting the conversation in an online chat room or article comment section away from the issue at hand, and towards a much different agenda. Hot-button issues like illegal immigration, the two-party political system, the "war on terror" and even alternative medicine are among the most common targets of such attackers, known as internet "trolls" or "shills," who in many cases are nothing more than paid lackeys hired by the federal government and other international organizations to sway and ultimately control public opinion.

Most of us here at ATS won't be surprised that paid Goverment shills target online forums and chat rooms. This article discusses how the Government, CIA, NSA and other assorted alphabet agencies actively recruit college students to disrupt and derail online discussion on conspiracy sites. I think we all have seen certain posters that consistently try to destroy open, intelligent debate on a variety of controversial topics. There are a few on ATS that I personally suspect of being on the Goverment payroll. Do you think that this is going on or are we just being paranoid?
Conspiracy websites are typically the most heavily targeted by government officials.
Hmmm.
