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 think that I was trying to figure out what you guys have a problem with, the fact that the method used to skin them while alive is too painful, or skinning animals altogether is 'immoral'. Obviously it would be more 'humane' to put them to sleep first, but would this make it o.k?

      As for the video/sound clip or whatever it is, I didn't click.

      And as for fur, I wouldn't wear fur, because I dislike animals. I have petted an animal...maybe once in my life.

The problem is that it is not necessary to kill these animals for food. Do you eat fox or mink or chinchilla? Even if they completely eliminated the pain factor, I don't see a reason an animal has to be killed in order for someone to wear a stupid fashion statement on their shoulders. You heard that clip, did you know that more than a hundred animals have to be killed just for one coat?? I know that certain places use the cows for more than just meat, they also use the cow, after the meat part it taken care of, to make leather and suede, and it's hooves to make gelatin. Ok, optimizing the use of a cow for all those purposes, that's ok. Not that I'd go out of my way to wear leather or suede, it's ok because the meat is taken for food, etc. But why use traps and all other sorts of really inhumane methods to trap wild fox and other animals for their fur?
        Why are you jealous of rich people if they wear animal skin or not? If they can afford it, it is theirs. Quit with the lefty politics of envy.

          Oh mouse, if it is rich people envy you see then clearly you read and read and read and speak as though you are smart but really completely miss the point every time and aren't really so smart after all.

            Oh no, you don't think I'm smart. Woe is me. It seems the only point here is that rich people are able to afford fur and you don't like that.

              You completely missed her point but that's okay, you're determined to not get it.

                I got her point fine, I don't need you to act as a self-styled interpreter telling me what I did or did not get. The point is, animals serve humans, both as needs and luxuries, get used to it.

                  Well if you got her point, then why were you acting as if she's jealous of the rich or something?
                  I don't think I can ever get used to having animals skinned alive.
                  We might NEED meat to survive, but I don't think we NEED to wear animal skin... I don't consider animal skin a luxury either.

                    Tough luck, there is a market for it, which means there is a demand, which in turn means that the market decides it is a luxury. You don't have to like it, but that is the way it goes.

                      Don't project your petty little jelousies on me mouse. I did, after all, go to the University of Spolied Children. To be jealous there needs to be something someone else has that is unattainable to you that you desire. I choose not be in the market for animal fur. Woe is you.

                      Tough luck. I suppose you can say that for people who are murdered because people want to take their money or steal something they own, right? Tough luck, they had something someone else wanted. The animals have fur, people want that fur, tough luck for the animals. *shrug* That kind of attitude is just so frustrating I don't even know how to respond to it!

                      As for market demand, just because there is a demand for it doesn't mean I can't look down on the vile disgusting excuses for human beings who wear furs. I can, and I do. I also look down on people who act as though common human decency and protection of things that cannot speak for themselves are secondary to what the market demands. But people want fur! Let's give it to them then! It's true, money rules the world, it also rules people and I pity people who are so ruled by money, the 'market', the need to make more money, keep more money, and follow everyone else in the pursuit of money and in doing so miss out on what it actually means to be living.

                      Enough lectures though, it's not as though I am trying to change anyone's mind. I already have my own convictions and 'popular' or not they're mine to stand by, not something I am following because everyone else is.
