Introduction/Question?

Hey Guys(and Girls),

My name is Matti, incase you didnt notice in my Username.
I, like many others on here spent a lot of time browsing and reading these forums as I enjoy other peoples opinions and am generally interested in Conspiracy Theories.
I decided to make an account after reading all the "nonsense" surrounding the whole OBL scenario in the past week. I say "nonsense" in reference to the way that the US government has dealt with the situation, NOT in reference to any of the opinions on this site(although I have to admit, some of the theories are a bit far-fetched). You will probably find me lurking in the Aliens and UFO forum mostly as this has always interested me since I was very young(might have had something to do with my step-dad at the time reading UFO magazine and similar things), but I like to take a general interest in whats going on in the world, so I'll be floating around most sections on here from time to time, generally keeping up to date =]

I just have one question, as this is predominantly a conspiracy website...Why, considering all the conspiracies relating to MJ(not Michael Jackson =P), prohibition etc etc is the topic not covered at all on this website? As this is a topic that [[snip]] interests me a lot...Apologies if I have just missed a section somewhere that already explains this but this does'nt really make any sense to me.

Again, hello and I hope to share some of my opinions with you on many subjects in the weeks, months and years(fingers crossed, 2012 etc etc =P) to come.

In the T&C they state that no discussion of illicit material or actions will take place here. I can't speak for the cite staff but I assume it has to do with laws in certain countries that even the discussion of such topics might bring unwanted attention to the site.

The site pays the bills by advertising as well.

I agree the topic should be up for discussion within certain restraints.

Suppose you cant really blame them for wanting to cover their own backs. Cheers
