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.

    Re: Rate The Last Book You Read!

    Books online.

    These are books available online which you can access.

    Ethics of Liberty by Murray N. Rothbard might be a bit too heavy but here it is.

    Also available is Murray N. Rothbard's Man, Economy and the State which is recommended reading for a grounding in free market economic principles and Austrian thought.

    Here is the book from Alfred Korzybski, the man who developed the general theory of semantics, called Science and Sanity.

    Do you want to know how Wall Street bankers financed the Bolshevik revolution? Well, let Antony C. Sutton be your guide. The book Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution is here. It gets better though. Do you like to know how these same Wall Street bankers financed Hitler? You need to read Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler

        I haven't read anything by Agatha Christie but I've seen the film version of her novel Murder on the Orient Express. It was okay.

          It took me about half an hour to find this thread with the stupid Armenian Club search function, that doesn't even work properly.

          Anyway, I'm going to start reading The Notebook today. After I finish it, I will finally read Requiem for a Dream.

            "Life of Pi" by Yann Martel was a really good story, I highly recommend it.

              L'Abbé Prevost, Histoire du Chevalier des Grieux et Manon Lescaut — very good.

              Next on my list is Henry James, The Princess Casamassima,
              finishing D.H. Lawrence, Sons and Lovers (so far so good to Part II), rereading James Joyce, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and hopefully coming closer to understanding it this time, and George Moore, Confessions of a Young Man.

              Then back to some Armenian literature.

                Teabagging, it reminded me of that.

                  A good follow-up book to that is Arthur Nersesian's The F.uck-Up. See how many differences and similarities you can find between the two.

                    Finished Science Friction by Michael Shermer a few days ago. It's a collection of essays. Like his other articles and books I've read, this was excellent as well. Did not disappoint.
