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.

    It kind of pisses me off when religious freaks chalange you to find proof to support your ideas and when you do they disregard them as irrelevant. Seems unethical doesnt it..

      Re: Evolution

      If someone hasn't studied biology, I guess a lack of knowledge may account for them not believing in evolution, but if one has studied biology, especially in higher education, rejecting evolution as a myth is doing a big dishonour to academia and knowledge in general.

        Well thats what xxxxed up about it all. There are tons of well educated people who seem to rely on fairytales rather then science. Its not that they are ignorent its more like they are morons.

          My cult following? I assure you that that professor at Occidental and lecturer at CalTech is not my follower. You rely on stupid webpages that anyone with web access can create to back you up. I went to an expert with my question. Unless you want me to bring you fossils I dug myself, whether I find the information myself or someone else points me to it, it will still be from another person. Evidence doesn't exist in a vacuum in my brain. Besides, does it make it any less credible or convincing because it came from an expert in the field rather than me? What an odd criticism.




          Haykakan, given we're having a dialog with such persons, how about we not call all who won't recognize evolution morons? Forum rules and all? Thanks!
          Besides, I don't think that's it; I think it's largely ignorance (they're educated in other fields and have avoided science) and confirmation bias.

          When nothing will change one's mind, then s/he ceases to be thinking critically. That's a sign to disengage because you'd just be wasting your time with them.

            Nah Sigggie i know some biologists who are in the inteligent design camp and they and all like them are morons indeed because they ignore solid proof and propogate unfounded and unsubstantiated claims. If one ceases thinking critically then one should walk out to the garden and call oneself a vegitable.

              I already wrote for the millionth time that evolution as a biological process has nothing to do with humans morphing from sub humans. Most of Israel's population believes the earth is 6000 yrs old and God made man out of clay. And they rule the world

                So according to you humans just appeared out of nowhere?

                  The problem with most intelligent design/evolution arguments comes down to the same thing. WE WILL NEVER KNOW FOR SURE AND DIALOGUE IS, MUCH LIKE BASEBALL, A PASS TIME.

                      There has not been, since Darwin first proposed the theory, a single discovery that was inconsistent with evolution. There's no controversy in science about this.

                      Haykakan, I wouldn't call people with BS in Bio, biologists necessarily. In the higher echelons of academia, there's no controversy. Even the Pope accepts evolution.
