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.

    Fight Club

    The story of Fight Club is about an inner struggle of the two sides of a man. On the one hand, there is the nameless main character we will call Jack. Jack is meek and weak. On the the other hand, there is Tyler who is driven and agressive and lacks compassion. They are both intelligent. At the end of the movie, Jack shoots himself. The unexpected consequence after that action is that the two personalities, Jack and Tyler, combined to form one, consistent personality involving both the will to power and the will to love (if you want to bring Nicht Freund into it). I guess this will happen with me now. It is unfortunate there will be no fireworks.

        *OK, THIS IS YOUR DAMN SPOILER WARNING IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE YET.....WHICH IF YOU HAVEN'T.....YOU PROBABLY SHOULDN'T EVEN BOTHER BREATHING*

        I didn't see Tyler Durdin as "compassionless", or aggressive in the nature of stepping on people to achieve something (you know....kinda' like Cali Armos? I KEED, I KEED!!). Rather, he was the free individual alter ego that "Jack" wanted to be. It manifested itself through a delusional character (Tyler) in his mind. Tyler pretty much spells it out when Jack discovers the truth. "All the ways you wish you could be, that's me....I'm free in all the ways that you are not".

        Tyler had the balls to fukk up the nice and tidy ways of the world, forcing people into vulnerability and causing people to have to think for themselves. Jack had to sort of....ease his way into what he wanted to be. "It is only when we have lost everything, that we are free to do anything". When you still own things or are in a position (employment, financial, or otherwise) where there's a lot still at stake by society's standards, it's difficult to throw that all away because you want "a different way". Hitting rock bottom (which they referred to several times in the movie) gives you the excuse to try for that massive change since you have "nothing to loose".

          Just to let you know, the intent of the thread was not to discuss the film.

          Project Mayhem and the Hand-Burning/Speach scene are beautiful examples of the will to power. That is Nietzsche. And, I guess, so is the end when the symbol of the will to power collapses, but that is more historically Nietzsche. You mentioned all of the literal aspects of the film, which are all well and good, but the philosophy of it was not put into words.
