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.

      Re: Why are atheists disliked in America?

      The last post seems to have shut this thread down. However, rather than starting a new one I guess I'll just use this thread to ask a question that's been on my mind. For those of you who are atheists (seems like there's about 4 or 5 of us), are you openly atheist? Do your parents know you're an theist? Your friends? The reason I ask is because I actually know quite a few atheists who are Armenian, but only very few are actually open about it with their friends and family.

          Guess what? he sends you his regards, and asked me to give you this message: he said you won’t do well as a lawyer unless you defend only the criminals who scammed innocent people of their life savings and left them homeless not able to feed their kids, because you’re good in fabricating evidences and proofs, you will be given the power of banning the prosecutor just before he want to respond to your defense. And just because you’re a female you should be given an extra power. you would be able to ban even the judge in case you didn’t like what he was saying.
          Funny how god seems to be limited by your understanding. Would think that in addition to knowing the true point of the exercise, he would know that I have never had any intention of being a lawyer or at the very least that there are more options than criminal defense in the practice of law.
          I'm ignoring the remainder of this inane blather because it's just your anger talking and is nothing worthy of response.

          To this one: This is the masterpiece of ignorance.

          So according to you, for thousands of years when people were praying to their God they were doing not so bad, but the minute he started answering to their prayers all of sudden they became hallucinators? Did you think that these people were knocking on a door for thousands of years with no avail, but they've kept on knocking till someone answered and then they were called hallucinators?
          ...
          I didn't mean if god answers prayers, but rather answers you... as in replies to you (btw there are studies of this and no discernible effect of prayer was found). I meant specifically in the form of visual and auditory "perception" (although in this case it would be perception in the absence of stimulus of senses, i.e. sensation). Of course, you would never think to clarify a point before reacting to it as you did... it's impossible that it was a language issue.

          Now you can do me the honor and ban this account too.

          But be careful if you write back stupidities I will find a way to come back and say my word. Remember God will help me to do so (it was his words)
          I don't know where this smarter because female stuff is coming from, because I certainly never made any such claim. I think it's an overreaction to your own prejudices, if anything. Either that or you misunderstood something, yet again?

          Let's be clear on one thing though. The only reason you were banned was for breaking the rules. You can disagree with me all you want, but if you hadn't lost your temper while doing it, you'd still be here. Trying to circumvent your ban is not a great way to ensure a speedy return either.

          Might have also been that I haven't really been able to post for a few days. Not even sure I'm coherent enough to be posting now either, given the pain killers I'm on, but oh well...
          I'm open about being an atheist. My friends and family know and there's no uncomfortable friction or anything.

            It is always nice to see religious chrytians putting down women when the one they worship actually was saving women from being stoned to death. I am more then sure that these guys would have been the same ones itching to throw the first stone. This is a good example of the wonders of reigion. As for being agnostic it gets hard to differentiate yourself from athiests when it comes to explaining to others your beliefes. I also meet people who claim they talk to god and the only distinguishing characteristic i have noticed about these people is that they are self absorbed aholes.

                He does exist.
                For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                    i wholeheartedly agree with this, It comes off as very pretentious and annoying when irreligious philosophy is tied to something of its own religion, rather than disregarding the concept of god as you would a pok'e-mon like mudkip after you turn 12 it no longer matters one bit, you don't go around naming it and talking about how it never existed and make it a daily routine to hate mudkip for being fake., you just move on. however... it is kind of sad to see grown men still idolizing pokemon. as is our species someday the time to move on will come, yet there will still be those who stay behind..
