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.

    can u believe in science

    kerry said that he believes in science.
    this is rather ironic, because science is knowing (latin translation).
    believing in something, makes it faith. if he knew in about the things, he would use the word know.
    this just confirmes that science is sometimes like religion. because people advance their cause from their faith. if he knew about it, he would just casualy say "i have the facts here that stem-cell research works". but you have to still believe and see what happens. you cant know about something's success if it didnt happen yet. i mean, the research could say that todays technologies are unadequate with doing stem-cell therapy.
    believing in science is rather a paradox for people who claim to be cool secularists.

      oh no, my dear.
      one must truly believe in science.
      one must pasisonatly hope that things would work out. when one believes in something's success to jepordize his career- thats called faith. faith in reason.
      i suggest u to read some works on faith and reason.
      even reason is faith based. because one must believe in data's consistenly. doesnt matter how much evidence u have. no theory is fool-proof.
      kerry or others, for that matter believe that science can better human life. this is a phylosophy. a faith in progress. i mean c'mon if people just knew how to "make reeves walk again" they would just say it matter of factly.
      edwards said that if kerry is elected "reeves would be able to walk". doesnt that sound mystical? making the lame walk. does that ring any bells?

        I don't know...science goes only so far though, atleast as far as scientists have discoverd up to date. When you get to advanced chemistry, physics, boilogy, etc...you can make more sense of things and and the same time complicate it further. They are so complex that it seems impossible that it could occur naturally out of no where, you must think that someone must of "programed" it. I mean Darwins theory explains some of it, but no one knows how all that really started. I won't get into it any further, I'll just get to the point. Science is more believable cause it can be proven, religeous faith is all up to you. I think both do cross paths at some point...

            This sounded really harsh towards Garegin, I didn't mean it that way. It's just I've been looking for an excuse to use this line, lol.

              i dont believe in science. because theory is a theory. i dont think darwin's theory is so solid that it would make me uestion my faith. i recently read a wired article about scientists who are prososing a inteligent design theory. darwin's thoery explains a little. if animals "envolve", then how did the first animals get created. the theory explain the middle of the story. it doesnt try to answer the age-old question. was there a beginning. because something can not come out of nothing. so in order for something to "evolve" there has to be something to begin with.

                I think aliens planted the first "seed" ...or it came with an asteroid. Either way, it must of came from outer space. I think there was even a basic amino acid found in a peice of space rock that crashed on earth not too long ago and amino acids are basically one of the most essintial building blocks of life. If that can be found floating around space then there is a good possibility that the material for the first life form may have came from outer space. How that amino acid was created...I can safely say that no one knows.

                Darwin's theory doesn't exactly explain much, like someone said, it only fills a gap in the middle of the problem. The first life form was probably a small bacteria, then it grew to a type of reptile or whatever and over time these sun rays, while passing through objects damaged the organism's dna and altered it into something else. Thats how I think everything started, but how that one bacteria was created...again, I don't think anyone knows. Thats what I meant, this is where religeon and science cross paths.

                  even if living-things evolved from non-living things. say, acids deformed to create DNA. but what created the first rock? if no matter is created or destroyed, then someone must have created the matter.
                  thats why darwin's theory doesnt try to explain the "genesis".

                    and BTW, the alien theory is a joke.
                    someone must have created the aliens in the first place.
                    "big bang" thoery tries to say how the universe became bigger.
                    but it doesnt explain of what happened before the big bang.
