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.

  • What's the point of life?

    About a week ago me and my sister were sitting in the dinning room reading the paper while my little brother was doing his homework. It was really quite, something that is very rare in my parents home. All of a sudden my brother looks up at us and asks, "what's the point of life?" I was shocked..I couldn't believe he had just asked that, and the fact that this 11-yr-old kid is thinking about 'what the point of life is' scared me. My sister and I both didn't know what to say. We just brushed it off and instead of taking it seriously we began joking with him about it. I asked him why he was thinking about this and he just said, "it seems like there isnt really a point...all I do is go to school, do my homework, and then I'm gonna go to college and do homework, and then get a job and do more work, and then die, what's the point of all that?"
    so what really is "the point of life" or is there even a point to life?

    And when the profane asked what I was, I replied, "A spiritual being".

      Capitalism. Feeding the rich so the rich can enjoy it. And the cycle goes on and on and on, as it has for thousands of years.

        The point of life is to be born, breed, and die.

        Refer to the initial post.

          what if an 11-year old kid asks you this, what would you say to him? how would you explain it to someone without scaring him about the future and what is to become of him?

            Just tell him that the point of life is to go to work to get money in order to use it to go on vacation and enjoy yourself.

              I would tell him, "Not going anywhere for a while? Have a Snickers!" Because when you aren't going anywhere for a while you gotta have a Snickers!

                    ooook....?? you asked me and I answered. there is no perfect answer. tough luck - it's the truth. but you can lie to him and make him a delusional person. whatever floats your boat.
