Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Lightning occurs in this natural world and observed, studied, predicted, explained and recreated. That means it is NOT supernatural.
    I'm not claiming "lightning" is supernatural. I'm claiming that I don't see astronomers/scientists discovering the forces that produce lightning.

      Have you looked for research and not found any? The discovery of "sprites" is fairly recent. Take a look at that.

        We can't look for a 'political force' behind every single scientific development, can we? The 'political force' behind science and religion can be true only to a degree and in some cases...

        The best way would be to have a foot in Armenia.

        Okay, I thought you were complaining about your personal life, as for people around you that's the case everywhere in the world except that its manifestation is in a different way depending on cultures and how developped a country is.

          That will just bring you back to the "what came first, the chicken or the egg?". The world is entirely linked, everything is dependent on something else and we're in perfect equilibrium. If the first domino were to fall, the rest would go down with it.

            Well, I have come to find that these arguments are at their peak during "election" time .

            But yeah, I wasn't implying every religious and scientific force is untrue

            Why do I need a foot, isn't a heart enough?

            I was, but that's also tied to this retarded society that has formed around me.

              Come again? You complained that it's not being studied. Then upon seeing that is is, you say it's pointless?

                Not pointless, it will just open new doors.... the learning is never ending, its an endless cycle.

                  That's not the same as a chicken or the egg (directionality/causality) quandary.

                  You know you type words, but you really aren't saying anything.

                    That's because I don't talk when I type. And you can't relate one thing to another unless its the exact same subject.

                    If you're walking through a series of rooms, and in each room is a piece of knowledge and once you acquire that knowledge, a new key is given to you to open the door to the next room. The gauntlet is endless. The chicken and the egg in the same way is an endless argument. This doesn't mean that it's pointless, this means that we are naturally inclined to learn and grow and the only thing that impedes progress is those that don't want others to attain the knowledge that certain people already have. Knowledge is power and not everything is going to be revealed to the general population. The reason why you say that I'm not saying anything is because you find philosophy, politics, religion among many other studies pointless.

                      Enlighten me then and show me the connection which I failed to see.
