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.

    <Radical mode> Wiping out we-know-who. </radical mode>
    <Softer mode> Sending Bu$h and $haron to hell, so they can sort out their financial issues there. </softer mode>

    and what is more important to change first .. ?
    The more radical solution would be ideal. It would put an end to the problems. The softer solution would also work, by eliminating the root of the problem, although you still run the risk of Sharon's minions doing the same thing after he's gone to hell...

    is there a perfect solution .. ?
    Yes. Having a solution is a perfect solution. I think the radical solution is a perfect one. But not too many people will like it, for obvious reasons (propaganda yada yada yada)..

      Sounds like a plagiarised version of Sir Thomas More's Utopia.

          That's not necessarily true. It's not the differences in views and lifestyles that causes the violence. It's the inability to accept those differences. If people could learn to petrify the ego, and not be such control freaks, there wouldn't be this constant need to conquer anything or anyone that is not like ourselves in order to conform those entities to our likeness. People opening their minds to greater possibilities and things beyond their immediate surroundings. People realizing what a small, pathetic, insignificant part of existance they are in the grand scheme of things. Humility, humbling. These are things that don't seem to be a part of human nature. Or perhaps we have defied them long enough that they no longer are. THIS is the part that will never change, thus the reason we will never see world peace.

            yes, kill yourself and everyone else too...look at the stars, so peaceful, no humans there yet (to the best of out knowledge ) other than that, there's no other way to achieve peace the way I look at it...but of course why would you want to kill everything? might as well just "live and let live" (i'm sure that's in another context, but hey, anything goes)

              A book that I'm reading now satirizes the concept of peace and the threat of nuclear war. It's by James Morrow - This is the Way the World Ends. Great book. Worth the read.

                such as the US, UK, France, Germany, all the other European nations, Russia, South American countries that are democratic, Japan, S. Korea...so on and so forth...I'm not saying that every democratic nation has peaceful relations with other democratic nations, but majority do.
                US and other democratic nations didnt have good relations with Russia until the Soviet Union broke up, same as with S. America when it was controled by Communism, and some European countries during WW II.

                p.s. this is not my own philosophy...it is what we discussed in class.

                I can't help but agree with you...if only it was possible

                    I was going to offer that as my answer, but thought it was too radical.
