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.

  • Strange Things Houseless People Have Said

    I said houseless because homeless people are really houseless, not homeless, because a home is an abstract concept we create. Today as I got out of Washington Mutual on the way to my car there was a houseless person roaming around. As I got near my car he was standing close by and looked at me and said:

    "I bet it feels good to deposit that shyt. I bet you in college. Don't ever take college for granted. That shyt costs money, guy."

    Somehow that affected me profoundly. He didn't ask for money or a smoke, and after he just smiled at me, I couldn't help but smile back. Another time I was at a bar and got out for a smoke ( I believe it was the Three of clubs or Three of Spades or some crap on Vine and Santa Monica ) but there was a bum who asked to bum a cigarette and then he said, "I'll give you the best advice in the world. Don't say goodbye. Just say seeya later."

    Again some wise shyt. Clearly bums are walking philosophers if you ever talk to them.

    They're also great researchers.

    This may be a repost. The best sign I saw made by a "houseless" dude:

    "Money wanted for alcohol research." One of my friends volunteered to be his research assistant.

    They are clearly an essential part of society.

      Very much so. The vagrants, the houseless, the vagabonds, renounced their status as 'citizens', untied to the chains of civilization, simply living as the day comes along, no stress, no worries, no responsibilities but their individual self tied to nothing more than finding a piece of a leftover sandwich to eat. Laws, statutes, regulations do not scare them nor apply to them, for as often as they are harassed by a cop they are as unshaken as an oak tree and look for jail a more suitable place to sleep than the corner of a street.

          Was he black? If so, I have seen such an individual who looked rather trashy. You know, that's what I wanna do, if I could do one thing in life. Renounce myself from humanity and civilization. Be a bum, and just read all the books I can.

            And they're loyal to each other too. A la Antigone in New York.

              And once I was a at a red light, at night, and bummed out for some reason, and the bum was crossing the street, he stopped in front of my car, and put his two index fingers on the corners of his mouth and made a “smile” gesture. It totally fixed my mood.

                  Was this, by any chance, on Vermont? Vermont and Wilshire, I believe.

                    When I lived in New York City, I remember a "houseless" person told me that if winter ever came by, and I had no place to go, I should comit a petty crime and land myself in prison for 4 months where it is warm and they feed you right. Scared the hell out of me, but they know how to work the system.

                    There are many "houseless'" people that read the newspaper and books...good guys...society is too strong a factor in human attitude.
