Hello everybody from the new guy.

Hi everyone!

I'll start off by telling you a little about myself.

I live in Oregon and am currently in high school (with less than favorable grades) ,which is out for summer, but don't fret-I'm not here to troll or 'Myspace-atize' this forum. I've always been interested in the paranormal and conspiracy. The world is frightening and messed up right now. I don't know what to-and not to believe anymore. I try to think for myself and use critical thinking. I don't want to become a sheep.

Over the years I've sort of learned not to trust people entirely right off the bat. I try to study people and get a feel for who they are.

Anyway, I came across this site and looked up "about ATS" and liked what I saw, especially the alterant news. The idea of a forum where people can openly discuss things like this without attack is great.

Can't wait to get to know you all, discuss, and edjucate with free mind and speach.

Cool emoticons BTW.

Hello Neighbor!
Welcome to ATS!

The idea of a forum where people can openly discuss things like this without attack is great.

While the majority of people who have chosen to be members and exchange ideas here want to hear from you there are a few in the vocal minority that will give you a hard time once in a while. Don't let that rattle you, you have a lot of support here.

As you get more comfortable with the tools and format on ATS your posts will be more organized and readable here than anywhere else on the net. It will sharpen your research and reporting skills.

I use Firefox from Mozilla.org for easy tab browsing to assist in writing and researching.

Have fun! I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Just trying to figure the site out.

See ya.

Hello Jon.

Welcome to ATS.

Hello, and thank you!
