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 Tramanian Glad to know that I'm not alone on this issue.

    If you haven't read Ayn Rand's non-fiction you really should, she lays down the most logical basis for Capitalism that I have ever read.

    Of course, Politics is only one of five branches of philosophy, and her work with metaphysics, ethics, morals, and epistemology is absolutely suberb. A capitalist should never call himself a capitalist without having studied objectivism.

    PM me if you want some recommendations in particular.
    If you are referring to Atlas Shrugged, well it's been conquered.

        Actually I'm speaking of her non-fictional work: "Capitalism: the unknown ideal," "The virtue of selfishness," "Introduction to objectivist epistemology," et cetera.

          Ahh well those have yet to be conquered. By the way, I would highly recommend you read "Human Action" by Ludwig von Mises. Are you familiar with the Austrian school of economics, or the Mises Institute?

          With the help of our extraordinary supporters, the Mises Institute is the world's leading supporter of the ideas of liberty and the Austrian School of

            www.mises.org
            Absolutely, Von Mises is/was a brilliant man, although I tend not to enjoy his writing style as much as Rand's.

            While Rand does the best job of laying down the philosophical basis for Capitalism, I think Von Mises does the best job of laying down the economic basis for Capitalism.

            Another good one is Milton Freidman, or Al Greenspan before he became a God damned fascist.

            I'll check out that book, thanks.

              hmmmmmm...

              Sounds to me like 'the causality paradox'.

              Isn't it HUMAN NATURE to assume if something exists
              it must BELONG to someone, or something?

              If we exist then we must have an owner/creator.... is that it?

              Does anyone think of giving a credit to MOTHER NATURE at all ?

              Leave a glass of water unattended for a while,
              you'll come back only to find some creatures are swimming in it..

              The balance of the universe has always been the
              Male & Female... There can be no ONE CREATOR !

              ...and the only two substances that can breed life out of
              nothingness are WATER and OXYGEN..

              Doesn't that explain why there is no life on the other planets in
              our solar system?

              It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God, but to create him.

                    Yea, them silly humans. I created many Gods myself, mostly while I've been on the toilet, bored out of my mind, trying to think of anything BUT the vein popped in my forehead.

                      Would you like to explain what human nature is???

                      The fact is you simply babble out the bourgeoise analysis that is fed to you.

                      Bourgeoise analysis claims humans are naturally "individual" beings and that we thrive on being individual....would you like to explain why early stonemen worked together and not individually when living and working?

                      They say we are naturally greedy...but then seem to forget that the whole system of capitalism means you have to be greedy or live at a great disadvantage

                      They say we simply look out for ourselves, hoow many times do i have to use the example of people risking their lives to save others theyve never met before?

                      Simple slogans and insults wont get you anywhere....
