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.

    surfer i will get back to you on that meant to be stuff later.

    i shall enlighten you all about what your answers to this question 'mean' later too.

    for now... as for my answer??

    I would run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have mad great heat providing sex with the perfect partner against the bus stop, then drive off with the old friend for some drinks.

    Man, I just love happy endings!


    hahahaha

        "Its meant to be" is an excuse for lack of responsibility, and for someone who is afraid of commitment for any reason.

        I have gone off on people on random people I dont even know for saying this xxxx. I am not mad at you, just that stupid ass dumb xxxx saying that women have been saying after watching movies like "Sleepless in Seattle."

          ok so out of all of us, dstyle and omniscient get the job. seriously.

          Background:

          According to my brother (he used to be a recruiter for PWC) this dilemma, while it isn't the most morally or ethically offensive/thought provoking/hard to answer, is a question that pricewaterhousecoopers recruiters ask candidates during group interviews. It's supposed to give interviewers an indication of which of the candidates can 'think outside the box.' You know, sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. People have a hard time doing that sometimes because they like everything boxed up and packaged in easy to retrieve labeled peices.

          The problem.... You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again....

          The story goes that one time it was areally really close call and the candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) was the one who came up with this answer. He said: "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."

          So dstyle and omniscient (andf whoever else came up with the 'right' answer), congrats, you just got yourselves a 100k per year to start job with all these fancy little perks. My favorite happens to be the no limit amex business account

            so i believe that there is like one person out there that you click with on every level and are 'meant to be' with. Seriously I have seen so many successful marriages with these people who even after 20, 30 years of being together still make you want to gag sometimes because they are so perfect for eachother.

            having said that, while i believe you can be meant to be with someone, i agree with surfer that you have to take a chance on things (no matter how much you might get your heart broken). What, you're going to leave the guy there and tomorrow you're going to be given a chance like that again and he's going to show up somewhere you are and you get to take a chance then? not going to happen. no matter how much we might believe in destiny or predestination even, nothing happens if you just sit there doing nothing. I believe that the road we're supposed to go on is paved, but we put the potholes and the detours and the wear and tear in it with our actions. so i would definitely take the chance if i though something positive could come out of it.

            as for surferdude being all touchy about the subject, i don't know where that comes from. maybe you should enlighten us? i agree that sleepless in seattle is a tad facetious in the meant to be department. I rather like meet joe black, though it is also quite farfetched it does show how important it is to act on gut feelings. and if you act on them on the floor of the indoor pool room, well then all the better

            and another thing, just because you've had a bad experience in the past doesn't give you an excuse not to give it your all the next time around. seriously when it comes to love and such the ends more than justify the means, and then some.

                  with all my respect.. that wasn't your answer...
                  it was dstyle's...
                  so shut up!

                  when it comes to me... that perfect partner crap is crap...
                  you can't call someone "the perfect partner" unless you know them...
                  so I think you should rephrase that to "some hot chic" or "some gorgeous guy"... for you're purely referring to their physique!
                  I would choose my friend, whether or not he'd saved my life before...
                  that's what friends are for...

                    I highly doubt that this question was the ONLY factor they considered when they were making their hiring decisions...
                    if I'm wrong... They're pretty stupid and THEY need to start thinking outside the box...
