That just sounds funny to me somehow LOL. anyways ATG or WTG doesnt matter to me (WHY). Well because after I getta cut I wash my hair and you wont be able to tell whether it was ATG or WTG.

I'm still afraid of washin my hair right after getting a cut even though i know that nothing will happen to me. I just got my trim and just used a wet rag 2 get the little hairs out

When you cut ATG, your hair will look thinner than an identical cut WTG.  An ATG haircut makes your hair look thinner because you are cutting against the direction that your hair lays down.  These cuts usually stay fresh longer. 
 
When you go ATG, the clippers and guard are actually lifting your hair before it is cut.  If you go ATG, you should use a higher number guard than the one you would use for the same cut WTG.  This compensate for the difference in the way your hair's cut.  On the other hand, WTG haircuts cut your hair from the backside and will make your hair look darker.

No, I'm not saying that ATG is bad.  You just have to understand that ATG and WTG haircuts have different effects on your hair.  I prefer the darker look of WTG.  Also, you're less likely to cut your waves out or scalp yourself when you go WTG.  ATG haircuts leave more room for error.
