Hello, I am new to ATS.

Greetings,

I must confess, after finding this site, I have read many interesting and quirky threads! It has taken me a couple of weeks to join because I wanted to get a good feel for the site. I appreciate that ATS has a great and diverse community that welcomes healthy debate on topics that run from the mundane to the extreme. I noticed some discussions can become pretty heated but , for the most part, there is resect for differing ideas or points of view. That is why I am happy to be a part of this community and I look forward to reading more threads and posting.

I would like to share that while I have strong points of view and beliefs, I like to keep an open mind to any and all possiblities. No one has absolute answers to some of life's most intriguing questions (including me) and searching for those answers is vital to our growth as human beings. A healthy dose of skepticism is a good thing but being open to new ideas and ways of seeing things, is also immensely important. To quote Confucius " Real
knowledge is to know the extent of one's own ignorance."

Thank you and I look forward to reading , with enthusiasm, the posts out there!

Pamela.

Hi LadyLyra (Pamela)!!!

Welcome to ATS!

Yeah things can get a bit heated occasionally but generally it's all positive or educational!

Somebody should pop in here, eventually, to give ya some links that are worth checking out.

Other than that, make yourself at home, join in, and I look forward to seeing you in the threads!

Welcome to ATS! I am glad you enjoy the site.

One of the first things on your list should be to get an avatar up! They are really fun and help to individualize yourself while here on ATS. A mod will be coming in here soon to help ya out some more.

Yes, that is why I made a point about it. I like the way that members respect eachother even if they have differing opinions. ATS is a site where you can post without fear of being ridiculed or insulted. That is important because it enables healthy debate and discussion.
