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.

    The Weight of Love by Udiah (witness to Yah)


    I once was asked concerning love versus hate
    Why does it seem that hate is so great?
    While hate is a very strong emotion too
    Nothing can equal love that is true

    The weight of hate is very heavy to bear
    While it seems like love is lighter than air
    Accounts of hate make a big news headline
    While actions of love you must look hard to find

    But when you consider that love is patient, kind,
    Envieth not, not pompous, not puffed up, not rude,
    Seeketh not her own, slow to anger, thinks no evil,
    Rejoices not in wrong doing, but rejoices in the truth,
    Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
    Endures all things, and never fails*

    You soon learn that the density of love is so much,
    Although the scales be heaped with a great volume of hate
    It's catapulted by a mere measure of love's touch,
    Love strengthens the bearer so one feels not its weight

    *author's translation of 1 Cor 13: 4-7

      HoOps
      I am freefalling down through hoops,
      like giant halos, but they change
      from gold to red right before I reach them.

      I suppose they are composed like rainbows
      or clouds, wet and bright. Sometimes
      the time just passes and I find myself in hot water.

      These hoops-deadlines, due dates,
      late fees. It's such a drag to almost miss
      and snag one on a limb.
      It falls along with me till it dissolves.

        The Strongest Girl I Ever Knew
        © Ronald Doe
        In Loving Memory of Kelly Doe

        She never got to dance,
        Or go to her own Prom.
        She never got the chance,
        To forget where she came from.

        She never got to kiss,
        A man she idolized.
        She never felt love's bliss,
        'Cause she was paralyzed.

        She never got to talk,
        About love with a smile.
        She never got to walk,
        Down a Church's Aisle.

        She never got to say,
        Those precious words "I Do".
        But she was far and away,
        The strongest girl I ever knew.

        She couldn't brush her hair,
        Or put make up on her face.
        She couldn't hold you dear,
        Or give you a warm embrace.

        She couldn't clasp her hands,
        As if in the form of prayer.
        She couldn't understand,
        Why she was in a wheelchair.

        She never showed her fears,
        Or let you hear her cries.
        She never showed the tears,
        That fell down from her eyes.

        She never looked for pity,
        Or sympathy from you.
        That's why she'll always be,
        The strongest girl I ever knew.

          FootBall

          Upon the Astroturf the football bounces wildly
          Though their hands and under their feet
          Around their ends their helmet’s meet
          Still the ball bounces wildly

          Upon the ground to put it mildly
          The sound of shoulder pads crashing violently
          Number eleven, and number ten
          Down they go and up again

          Still the ball bounces wildly
          Forty yards then twenty
          Ten, nine, eight
          And when the ball comes to rest

          The referee put it best
          Taking it back to its beginning
          The ball had won this round
          Apparently!

            A Food for Everything

            Meals are the food for the body;
            Knowledge is the food for the mind;
            Meditation is the food for the spirit;
            Music is the food for the love of heart;
            Dreams are the food for the consciousness;
            Prayer is the food for the Almighty;
            Love is the food for the living heart;
            Thoughts are the food for the brain;
            Colourful ink is the food for the pen;
            Ideas are the food for the stories;
            Truth is the food for the will;
            Sun’s energy is the food for the plants;
            Plants are the food for the living beings;
            But one man’s food is another man’s poison!

              Standing At The Door

              Standing at the door,
              dog tags in hand.
              About to tell
              a loved one about
              their loss.

              Thinking of how
              it could have been me.
              Wondering how they
              will react.

              Reaching up
              with heavy hand,
              I knock on the door.

              Waiting nervously,
              I prepare myself
              for what's to come.

              Wishing anxiously
              someone else had come.
              Wanting desperately
              not to have to
              deliver such news.

              He gave his life
              for this country
              that he loved.

              Dying so suddenly
              without warning.
              He never got to say
              "Goodbye, my love."

              Sadly thinking
              how to treat
              the wounds
              I'm sure to inflict.

              Praying for peace
              and getting only
              a saddened heart.

              The only tribute
              I can give
              is this poem.

              His memory
              will never fade
              from my mind.

              His lust
              for life
              never replaced.

              His joy
              in his family
              and his friends,
              never forgotten.

              He will
              live on
              'till the end of time.

              He is
              one of us,
              the unforgotten vet.

                A DREAMER OF DREAMS

                Author: Gloria Jean Berry

                You have come to me from a distant land,
                Dreamer of dreams, to fill my hearts desire,
                Sweet music flowing from your nimble hand
                That plays within... to light my passion's fire.

                A symphony of word and thought you bring.
                Excitement builds upon crescendo's sound,
                Brought forth in tones to make my light heart sing
                For all the beauty that, with you, I've found.

                A life is changed in just an instant's time,
                All darkness fled before that brillaint sun
                That shines from spoken words of softest rhyme
                And speaks of treasures, only just begun.

                This mystic meeting gives my heart a glow
                That few have seen and only you will know.

                    I love it!!!


                    Hmmmmm...

                    Today I was down in L.A.,
                    dealing with the epically huge fray.
                    Got a bunch of shopping done,
                    made it back to the 101,
                    I must say today was a good day.

                      Friends

                      I feel like I've known you forever
                      Although I only met you sometime this past year
                      But our friendship will remain forever
                      No matter what shall cross our paths and hearts

                      The best thing that's happened to me
                      Is finding a forever friend like you
                      You're there to listen, help, and talk to
                      And best of all, I know I can confide in you

                      Some say the best love is one sprung from friendship
                      So I feel this is why we should try
                      Time leads us in this direction
                      Should we follow on down the line?

                      Friendship and love are always intertwined
                      Too close which sometimes causes confusion
                      But if we don't try, we will never know if it was meant to be
                      But forever you will remain my friend

                      I don't know if this is going to work
                      I'm not totally sure we should try
                      But I have all these mixed feelings
                      Bottled up inside

                      I love you both inside and out as my best friend
                      And I know that you love me that way too
                      So when I say "best friends forever"
                      That even means when I'm saying" Goodbye, I love you, too."
