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.

    Originally posted by surferarmo That was a long post.

    The fact of the matter is that people would congregate around someone who provided a service. It would be ineffecient for everyone to have their own police force with a farm and their own system of highways. People would specialize, then trade, and there you go, centralized authority arises. The police force house would be the central authoritative body thus the central governing body.

    Anarchism fails.
    Again to the long post of all I had to say you produce small little paragraphs without any insight.

    You assume that because such a system hasn't been employed it cannot work.

    The system propsed, I chose not to explain fully because I might pervert it, as Hans Hermann Hoppe does it fully in his book Democracy: The God That Failed.

    While you say "Anarchism fails", what about democracy? It has failed. Anarchism, or anarcho-capitalism, or what have you, hasn't failed since it hasn't even been established and mind you it is based on the principle of the individual and private ownership of your property.

    The model that is proposed is based on property, production and free market economics, not some utopian ideal of property confiscation, redistribution, and taxation, which all the political systems have employed, whether it was the fascists, the nazis, the socialists, communists or the democrats.

    Democracy has failed yet you maintain we stick to the present course? All isms that are against property rights of individuals and market based economics all fail eventually.

    The supporters of 'democracy' such as the neo conservatives and other Statists have stated that "DemocracY" is the "endpoint", meaning this is as far as man has gone and no other perfect form of "government" will replace this, meaning this is it, there is no where else to go beyond this.

    Such people are also bent on using nuclear weapons since there is no endpoint and they will fight to the ends to defend this fallacious religion.

    I beg to differ as there is quite another form of development that man has not reached, relating to the individual.

    But while such small little paragraphs which you use as a response, effectively reaffirm your belief and allegiance in your ideology, and for the time being you're saved from having to critique yourself and the isms, it is nonetheless based on falsities.

      Anarchism is in place before the employment of any new state. The fact is, people run into problems and they center into a group who abides by a policy or set of policies. Right there, anarchism fails. I am not judging it as good or bad, it just doesnt work. Maybe democracy has failed, but its extent of corruption upon failing does not equal to that of a totalitarian regime like the one you are defeding in Iraq.
