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 didnt say anything about fault.... Yes it is in my inate nature to steal, you are good when u dont steal, caues you CAN steal and that is bad.. and, NO that does not mean to blame "oh its my nature" that you stole something.. lol.. where did u get that from?.... we must understand, that when given the oppertunity (not when forced) it is in our nature to be bad, we are in essence bad people who choos to do the good thing, which then makes us good people. lol. ok a rather simplified and stupid way to say things, but thats how it is..
    When u are in the oppertunity to steal and u do it, you are only being human, not that its an excuse.. when you are have the oppertunity and you decide not to steal, then you have made a choice to be good.. well,, come to think of it, it seems like pretty much everythgn you do in life is your fault, cause if you can chose one or the other, then you have had a choice, and you chose the wrong thing.. etc..

      So are we good or bad? Do you even know what you're saying?

        This sort of thinking begs the question. Why is human nature "bad"? Why are you saying that "it is our nature to be bad"? We can very well restate that same phrase saying "Human nature is "good". Why is it in our nature to do good? It explains everything yet it explains nothing. The fact that we can generalize either way shows nothing. This hang up with natures either having to be all good or all evil is misleading. Think of it more along the lines of free will. We are able to do good yet evil as well. Nothing about "human nature" being either all bad or all good.

          well yes, it does all boil down to free will.. which is an essential indredient.. BUT,, then here the question that may be asked.. WHY do some people choe "bad" paths and others "good"? HAHA.. i dont think we can asnwer this one.

            Precisely, which is why we should leave it at "free will".

              Because of a ton of factors that we couldn't possibly break down and isolate. To answer that question would be impossible because we can't control people's experiences and lives from birth in a lab.

                  Note to self: Convince as many people as possible money is evil. Have everyone give you theirs in return for salvation.

                  Followup note to self: Previous note has already been done. Keep thinking.

                    I might be repeating what other people have said. But I dont believe money is evil. I just think human beings are selfish.
                    You can't hold a man down without staying down with him.
