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.

Zionists however are the scumm of the earth no better then fascist nazis were.
    You just said you have a problem with organized religion. There is not a single group of people that are more organized on this planet than the J3ws.

    Try this: Type J3wish organizations into google and take a look at how many (transparent and known) organizations exist. Good luck counting

      You sound like the people who want guns to be banned. Just because some people who claim they follow a religion do evil things does not make the religion itself evil. If you are against only organized religion but do not mind personal religious/spiritual practice than you have a more legit point.
      For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
      to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

        What if the religious texts prescribe these violent, "evil", things?

            Read it in context both within the historical epoch in which the text(s) were first written, as well as the context within the wider passage/chapter.

            Science will never provide all of lifes answers. And the majority of the worst dictators and mass killers of the 20th century were atheists. Food for thought.

              I think in the US the younger generations are far less religio-nuts than the olders. Hopefully in a couple of generations we'll see this religion disease wiped out completely (localized and sporadic cancers will always remain in different shapes or forms but hopefully, at least systematically, we won't see religion as the core belief system anymore)
              this post = teh win.

                There seems to be a common theme among right wing rulers. That is, the cheapest way to control a poor population is with religion. I suspect the Republicans will take the helm after Obama's demise.

                  Yes, and the left wing panders to science/secularism and thinks that human beings can do anything. People can use any idea, no matter how noble, to do evil deeds. If a person has a negative or even evil agenda they will use whatever means they can to achieve their goals.

                    You think the "younger generation" are far less "religio-nuts" than older generations? Au contraire, mon frere! Have they truly given up "religion" or just traded the religion of their fathers for the new lie of materialism. The new materialism is even worse than the old materialism (communism); at least the communists on some level pretended like they were doing something good for the benefit of others. The new materialism is the religion of the self and we will be seeing and are seeing the fruits of this psuedo-religion today.
