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.

    By that "logic" Jesus was at fault for the Crusades and the Inquisition because he laid the ground work which led to these sorts of religious endeavors. The Wright brothers are at fault for 9/11, Newton for weapons like bullets, cannon, missiles, etc., Pasteur for biological warfare, and so on...

    Science is about acquiring knowledge. How that knowledge gets used by others is an entirely separate issue.

      Your "logic" fails you since the motives behind Sir Francis Galton's and Charles Darwin's work was directed towards putting humanity on the same scale as animals.

        That statement makes is evident that you don't even understand evolution. If you'd like to tell me otherwise, I invite you to describe the basics of the theory. And don't paste me some some blog post like you usually do... I'm asking you.

        That was not their motive. Darwin's motive was to understand how there were so many varied species all so seemingly well adapted to their environments.

          No, the problem with these British "intellectuals" is all the same. They think they are superior minded people who believe that some humans are less human than others and don't deserve to be treated in the same manner and their justification in doing so is "scientific study".

            Science is neutral. It seeks knowledge. It doesn't take sides. It is not racist.

              LOL, I can't believe you're defending Eugenics. Doesn't surprise me.

                Only you would think I'm defending eugenics.

                  No, really. Eugenics has nothing to do with evolution unless you think it does.

                  You are because according to you science is infallible and cannot be criticized.

                    I don't think Siggie has said that. That is the basic definition of religion and we both know what she thinks about religions
                    this post = teh win.
