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.

    I guess one thing may be that you learn what you like as a kid, and your taste doesn't really change much afterwards.
    oh but it does... i used to listen to public enemy & MC Hammer. i didnt like jazz at all & i guess i sorta had a neutral opinion on classical music. this when i was reeally young. later on, i started loving classical & hating rap. mainly i listened to beatles, zeppelin, santana, U2, aerosmith..

    things have changed. now, my life revolves around jazz. i am a slave to classical music. i still love the beatles, ledzep & the others. & every time i hear gangtsa rap, i want to kill people.. starting with the guys who r creating all that irritating noise & recording it because for some reason beyond my comprehension, some ppl actually enjoy polluting their brain listening to that garbage.

    im sorry. i have a totally open mind about all kinds of music. i respect types of music that i dont even listen to just because it has some content or a positive purpose. gangtsa rap is not music. its total garbage. no original content whatsoever. & absolutely no purpose other than to make youth believe that money buys happiness & if u dont have it, then u should kill the ppl who do. make like ure from the "ghetto" & u had a hard life & now ure driving a souped up hummer wit yo b!tches'z n ho'z.. FAACK YOUU... soo irritating.. tupac was the last & the only great in terms of gantsa rap. its over now. somebody has to plant the 10th & final bullet in 50cent's hollow skull & ppl have to stop taking eminem seriously..


    im sorry.... so yea..... taste does change with age lol

        well it sorta goes something like this: since i started playing music, age 11-ish, i always wanted to have a strong base as an instrumentalist, so i took classical piano lessons. that gave me an appreciation for the music already. & what it also did is it helped me understand the inner workings of music, so the better i get at it & the deeper an understanding of music i develop, i get a better idea of how i could evaluate the musicality of music i hear.. gangsta rap has none whatsoever. but whatever ive liked in the past, by learning about music, i gain a better appreciation for it, if its good.. some of the stuff i listened to before, now i realize that it wasnt so great after all. & it doesnt have to be complicated. i listen to bob marley all the time.. its so simple, but what a groove.. u know what i mean? its really musical

          words are meaningless and forgettable...
          words are very unnecessary, they can only do harm.

            I've been listening to Mozart for the past week now. I can't tell if it's working or not, but I have been more studious. I've been reading a ton of papers on the neural basis of visual perception and aesthetic judgement.

                If I listen to classical music while studying, it's usually either Vivaldi or Debussy. I would assume classical music, in general, has a meditative effect. On the other hand, Vivaldi makes me cry.

                  Vivaldi and Debussy? They are drastically different; it is odd that it would be between those two.

                    This research is pretty new, but I dont think I buy it. Even the guy who did the original research thinks its out of control. The effect was not huge and it was a short temporary change at that.
                    Besides, the article misspelled skepticism (scepticism).
