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.

    Sting or and/or The Police?

    I can't decide, despite my decisiveness.


    Here are the lyrics to one of my favorite Police songs...
    (you need to read and think about metaphors):

    Young teacher, the subject
    Of schoolgirl fantasy
    She wants him so badly
    Knows what she wants to be
    Inside her there's longing
    This girl's an open page
    Book marking - she's so close now
    This girl is half his age

    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me
    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me

    Her friends are so jealous
    You know how bad girls get
    Sometimes it's not so easy
    To be the teacher's pet
    Temptation, frustration
    So bad it makes him cry
    Wet bus stop, she's waiting
    His car is warm and dry

    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me
    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me

    Loose talk in the classroom
    To hurt they try and try
    Strong words in the staffroom
    The accusations fly
    It's no use, he sees her
    He starts to shake and cough
    Just like the old man in
    That book by Nabakov

    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me
    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me

    Don't stand, don't stand so
    Don't stand so close to me
    [Back:] (Please don't stand so close to me)(Repeat to fade)
    --------------
    What does this poetry mean to you?

      So, TomServo, I take it you didn't like my soup?
      It can't be the lack of chicken.

      I'll try again.

      "Sacred Love"

      Take off those working clothes
      Put on these high heeled shoes
      Don't want no preacher on the TV baby
      Don't want to hear the news

      Shut out the world behind us
      Put on your long black dress
      No one's ever gonna find us here
      Just leave your hair in a mess
      I've been searching long enough
      I begged the moon and the stars above
      For sacred love

      I've been up, I've been down
      I've been lonesome, in this godless town
      You're my religion, you're my church
      You're the holy grail at the end of my search

      Have I been down on my knees for long enough?
      I've been searching the planet to find
      Sacred love

      The spirit moves on the water
      She takes the shape of this heavenly daughter
      She's rising up like a river in flood
      The word got made into flesh and blood
      The sky grew dark, and the earth she shook
      Just like a prophecy in the Holy Book
      Thou shalt not covet, thou shalt not steal
      Thou shalt not doubt that this love is real
      So I got down on my knees and I prayed to the skies
      When I looked up could I trust my eyes?
      All the saints and angels and the stars up above
      They all bowed down to the flower of creation
      Every man every woman
      Every race every nation
      It all comes down to this
      Sacred love

      Don't need no doctor, don't need no pills
      I got a cure for the country's ills
      Here she comes like a river in flood
      The word got made into flesh and blood
      Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill
      But if you don't love her your best friend will

      All the saints up in heaven and the stars up above
      It all comes down, it all comes down
      It all comes down to love,

      Take off your working clothes
      Put on your long black dress
      And your high heeled shoes
      Just leave your hair in a mess

      I've been thinking 'bout religion
      I've been thinking 'bout the things that we believe
      I've been thinking 'bout the Bible
      I've been thinking 'bout Adam and Eve
      I've been thinking 'bout the garden
      I've been thinking 'bout the tree of knowledge, and the tree of life
      I've been thinking 'bout forbidden fruit
      I've been thinking 'bout a man and his wife

      I been thinking 'bout, thinking 'bout
      Sacred love, sacred love…"

      Hogwash? I should make you some lentil soup, dear.
