How do I avoid...

...ending up like Mel Gibson in the movie 'Conspiracy Theory'?

Reading threads here everyday, and not knowing which are true and which aren't... could drive a man a bit batty, no?

Use your internal filter..separate the crap from the kernals of gold..

Don't worry Jack, you're not alone....and I don't mean you're being watched.

It's a lot to take in isn't it?

As for the Mel Gibson movie, just remember that HIS character was really the only sane person in it living his life to fit his beliefs and not shuffling about like the rest of the blind flock or living a life of deceipt.

I wouldn't recommend booby trapping your house to incinerate evidence though. Not unless you're onto something big.

Stick with it and choose the topics that interest you without making you feel oppressed in any way. Make your time here at ATS fun.

A good selection of favorite forums for your "MY ATS" page is always a good idea and a good starting point when you visit. It's my bookmarked page when I visit and things around here lead from there.

Cheers.

I do think there is ATS sickness that one can come down with after exposing themselves for too long. I do my best to leave the site for a few weeks or months at a time every now and then to keep myself from getting the sickness again.

Otherwise I turn into a real weirdo.

I am a very bad atser and I have never seen the movie.

bad nixie!

Even if you're not a Mel Gibson fan, it's a good movie.

Give it a watch, I think you'd like it.

Mel's character if real funny.

Always drink alcohol and other stuff while threading and posting.
It's a lot more fun, and you forget what you have read in short order.
Everyday it's like a fresh start or sometime you forget to log on to ATS
and just play music videos all day or ride your bicycle.

It also helps to remember that this is the www. and at least 90% is BS anyway. Hope that helps. It's what I do.


Still, I wonder who those guys are snooping around my house and stealing my mail.
