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.

    I fit into that category of analyzing everything to death, thus ruining a lot of opportunities my emotions would have liked to have run with. I look at emotions as being irrational, even though I know that's not always the case. Perhaps I do this as a defense mechanism to keep distant from people/situations.



    Oh, and Wise's constant nonsensical bible quoting brings a quote to my mind....

    "Beliefs allow the mind to cease functioning and closes the mind off to greater possibilities, including the possibility that you are dead wrong on any given subject at any given moment. Believe in NOTHING!" (Me - Club of Armenians; 12:17)

    When it comes to Bible, YOU have to go back to my AVATAR!
    You are my guest and its my duty to respect you! so..


    The reason most people are lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory. THe word of wise, You should go out from this thread !!

    It's not just the ups and downs that make life difficult, it's the jerks. We dont need you in this thread but we respect your PRESENT!

    Some minds are like concrete...all mixed up and permanently set. Dont worry ! you will be fine with US...

    My Dear "Experience is something you never have until just after you need it." so go for it!

    It's what you learn after you know it all that really counts. so just listen and learn...

    THe most important thing that YOU must learn it! "When you're in deep water, it's a good idea to keep your mouth shut!" so why not?

      Uhhhh.....number one, I am not your guest. This is not your board. Number 2, your respect is about as imporant to me as a cavity search. Number 3, save your bible thumping for deaf, dumb, and blind sheep who were born to follow, such as yourself. Some of us have already broken free of the Matrix, and are no longer part of the programming you are a prisoner to. But you go ahead and enjoy your stay.

      The most important thing that you need to learn is SOME ENGLISH!!! God damn, try to put together one freaking sentence that makes sense!

      Is a moderater going to shut this guy up, already? Man, talk about a waste of bandwidth! None of his posts have offered anything remotely intelligent to the threads he's replied on.

        Originally posted by spiral You're looking at this in a much broader frame, than I.

        And I'm not asking you to take an objective view on it, I'm asking for your view.
        I'll take reason over emotion any day, though I will admit I can be an emotional person. I'm still very cold, mind you, but volatile nonetheless.

        and you did mention earlier that one does infact come in the expense of the other.

        and I gave you an example with which you agreed with saying that " he is right to separate the two. Emotion comes at the expense of reason, but that doesn't mean emotion can't be valuable."
        Yes, of course, they are two separate things. I didn't say the existence of one came at the expense of the other, though. I just said that placing a great deal of emphasis on one will cause you to lose touch with the other to some extent. A person who spends his days reading Plato and studying Kepler will have little sympathy for the preteen girl he runs into who is having love issues, and vice versa.

        I'm not saying that one of the two is invaluable. I'm saying that to different people, one may have more weight than the other.

        which goes back to the "mind over body" mentality.
        You did kind of change the subject somewhat. Now you're talking about "reason over emotion." Both are of the mind.

          I moved the rest of his posts to another thread.

          Wise, please stay on topic and try to actually address the points being given you. You've been doing nothing but insulting people and preaching since you got here, in almost every thread. Give it a rest or you will receive further warning points.

            Thank you, sir. And...sorry about the outburst. I usually try to refrain from letting people get to me, especially on the net, but...I guess we're all fallible, as the religious sort would say...

            Anyways, where were we.....

                Can't you PM me if you want to know the reasons behind personal preferences I have?

                What was I talking about before?
                Given the title of the thread, I assumed you meant "mind over body," not "reason over emotion."

                  No I can't. Don't make it so personal.

                  Mind over body=reason over emotions

                  as far as I'm concerned.

                    Don't make my personal preferences personal? I'm not saying everybody should favor reason over emotion. You favor whatever works best in you. I'm pretty good with reason, terrible with emotion. That's all.

                    I don't know about you, but my leg isn't all that emotional.

                      That's enough. Now was that all too personal?

                      I don't know about you, but my leg isn't all that emotional.
                      ah yes, you put both reason and emotions into one category.

                      well let's, -hypothetically, or even metaphorically speaking,- connect emotions with body, and reason with mind.

                      What have I changed?



                      the discussion is over.
