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.

  • Meet your meat!

    This has got to be the saddest thing I have ever seen... I couldn't even finish watching it! I never considered vegetarianism, but I think I should. I understand there is a high demand for meat, but this is absolutely intolerable! If this is not animal cruelty, then what is?
    PETA delivers a variety of animal rights videos: from sexy animal rights testimonials to humorous celebrity public service announcements (PSAs) to graphic, undercover investigations.

    I haven't watched the video because... well I don't want to.
    I haven't eaten beef in a month and I had maybe half a steak over the last 2 months and I can't stand pork.
    I'm trying to cut out red meat and I've cut down the chicken a lot.
    Morningstar is my friend! Their stuff is great. You won't miss meat at all. I cook with their "meat" crumbles and it's yuuuummy. Try their stuff, it's very good.

      I watched it ... it's pretty dramatized but makes a good argument.

      I say if someone doesn't have the ability to go chop the head off of his or her own food, then that persion shouldn't be eating meat to begin with. And the other point to take away from this is that we have waaaay too many people on this earth as it is.
      this post = teh win.

          I second that. If you can afford it, and are bothered by factory farming, try products of sustainable farming. For more info, check out http://www.themeatrix.com/

          Places like whole foods, and trader joes have organic crap, you can find more places from that site and watch a fun flash video clip.

              Yup I've decided... no more red meat (but I love steak ) or pork. Chicken, once a month or so... but I'll have all the dairy products... I used to give my dog pig ears for treat! Noooo, now I know how they're made .... I was telling my cousin about my new diet, and he said I can still eat at McDonald's cause they use worm meat!!!! Has anyone else heard of this before? I think its a rumor or so I hope... nah, its a rumor, it can't be.
              Thanks siggie, never heard of morningstar before, but I found their website.

                I heard KFC actually uses lab grown chicken meat, it's not even from real chickens.

                  Lab grown chicken meat?? KFC uses real chickens, they just inject them full of tons of vitamins and crap, but definitely nothing like lab grown meat. You can be sure we'd have heard more about it if they had gone further than just growing goldfish tissue in labs.

                    Cows used for their milk are kept in conditions that are just as bad as those chickens in the video. They are hooked up to milking machines and injected full of vitamins and don't even get to see the light of day because they are caged in warehouses and hooked up to the milking machines all day long. I am telling you people, go organic. It is a law now, as far as we can trust these things to be followed to the letter, that something that has an 'oganic product' label must follow certain guidelines so you can more or less trust the source is better than a chicken factory. You pay more for it but I think it's well worth it.
