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.

    Define what's life

    Well, this thread is about whatever you think about life. I always wonder what is it, why we have to try and try and try and to achieve things that after we achieve, they don't matter anymore.
    Where is this leading? All we do is just trying. Trying at kindergarten, elemntary,school and university etc! We plan our future like everything is going to be perfect! But lot of times nothing goes the way we planned! I feel helpless and confused and angry why is all these have to be like this.(planning and working hard for it, but never goes the way u plan or u desire it to be) In these kind of circumstances how u react towards the situation, how u try to handle it and what role do u take to this play called life.




    P.S. if u think this thread sucks dont bother to type any lame comment,also if u cant keep ur comment leave it to the flamers section.....

    thanx

    Well, since you rarely make threads, I like to make your threading experience a nice one.

    With that said, what is life? Well, I think that's exactly, we really dont know, that is why we all these things, learn, school, labor, family, to give it meaning, otherwise its an existential paradox.

      "Existence is identity, consciousness is identification."

      Human life is consciousness, and as humans it is our job to perceive or identify existence by using a valid epistemological philosophy.

      The point of our lives is our own sustainance and growth, or our own well being.

      The way to achieve this is to desire rational goals, and to persue them by using our minds in the way that nature or the law of identity prescribes we use them - logic and reason.

      You say the schooling that you've done doesn't matter anymore? Have you considered that you wouldn't be able to get on the internet and ask these questions had you not learned to read?

      There are no worthless goals save for those which are self-destructive. Anything achieved that benefits your life is a worthwhile goal, although it may not be the most fulfilling.

      To be fulfilled you must figure out what you love to do and you must figure out how to do it. If you love to paint, then figure out how to make a living out of it, if you love computers, figure out how to make a faster computer and build it.

      To be fulfilled, you must think. The mind is man's only means of survival.

        You are my new role model!

        As far as my interpretation of life, well life is like a game of chess and we are merely chess pieces, acting our role to reach a certain goal, the purpose is self fulfillment what ever it might be. I personally like the horse, it's so ambiguous you never know when it sneaks up on you in a very indirect way.

          The mind may be a means of survival, it may also be a tool for knowledge and wisdom, etc., it is also a prison.

          The difference between an animal and a human is that while the initial is spared the knowledge of death, humans live with it a whole lifetime with death haunting their dreams, and due to that all that we do is a move against death and one for immortality.

          And if anyone were to speculate the full condition of this paradox would go insane. To quote Pascal, "Men are so necessarily mad that to not be mad would amount to another form of madness". Mad because everything that we do as humans is an attempt to deny this grotesque animalistic fate.

          The paradox is that man is both a part of nature and he is outside of the realm of nature. He is a worm and a food for worms. Man can place himself outside of nature by being up in the stars, yet at the same time occupying an animal body, because he aches and bleeds and xxxxs like an animal and his body will decay and die. So there is a sense of duality. He is a creature with a name, a history, a life, a spirit, yet an animal nonetheless.

          His mind can go into spaces outside time contemplate about the atom and existence and infinity, and look at his own planet from outside, sort of like a mini god, yet nonetheless doomed to death. That is the existential paradox and why I believe the mind is also a prison.
