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.

    Yeah, I've heard. But I don't want to see the film. Everytime I see the film of a book I've read, it ruins my fond memory of the book.

      i dont really think about death but when someone close to me passes away, i get this feeling of sadness along with a sense of relief (if they were suffering). i donno, sometimes i see death as the only certainty in life. it's like, no matter how much you mess up, no matter how much pain you suffer, no matter how much goes wrong, in the end there's death, something that makes all of that go away. as euphoric as this may sound, we still choose that pain over death, which is no feeling at all. yeah, death. a strange concept when analyzed. but hey, it's procedure.

        Death is simply the cessation of physical life in a living organism or the state of the organism after that event.There is nothing to be afraid of as it is something very natural and logical.

        However the natural is not always the just.The rule of the strong towards the weak,of the king towards the peasant and of the rich towards the poor is something very natural.But just, it is not.I believe that the highest desire of the humans has always been to escape from the merely natural and consequently death.

        That is why it was rather easy for the religious leaders ,who took advantage of this desire,to manipulate the people with their lies.

              I don't know. Maybe Amoeba Records in Hollywood. Maybe from Amazon.com

                Anyway, Sean Malone's more recent project is, in my opinion, much better than Cynic. It's called Gordian Knot (I have both of their albums) and it's more in the progressive rock vein.

                      I agree death is the great equalizer because it doesn't discriminate against the poor or rich or your racial or ethnic background. It can come at any moment. And in some cases, death is but the only option. My grandmother has Alzheimer's right now, and the thing is she never knew she would be in this, and if she were able to comprehend would she still want to live like that? I know that I really couldn't live like that and I'd rather die than live like that. There is some saying my folks always say about that, let God take away my soul before my mind, or something to that effect.

                      I don't know, lately I guess I've thought about this alot, and what it means to me. That's because my grandmother's are approaching that time where they perhaps will pass away soon. They are both really old and frail. This would be classified as the first serious loss of loved one in my family. My uncle was also recently diagnosed with cancer which is "stage 4" I don't know what the hell that means (in terms of it being terminal). So sometime I am going to have to deal with this and confront it, and I'm always wondering how my first meeting with death will be.

                      I don't really think much about death either, unless like in this case I zoom in on the topic like this, and decide to make an inquiry out of it. I think that most people and most of us certainly go about life with too many everyday and practical worries to think about death. That's because the immediate things are more tangible and in front of us, and the short term worries us more than existential musings. But then, couldn't some cynic, or some nihilist just as much make the argument that all we do is simply because or precisely a symptom of trying to avoid and reject the terror which comes with death or the excessive thought of death? Or this idea of reaching a certain notion or status of success, to make a name for ourselves, to establish ourselves, and to live beyond our lifetime? Couldn't that then be somehow a struggle against time, death and decadence?

                      I guess death is sort of like a cold teacher and the only thing it teaches is that we are a frail, mortal, and an existential bunch not knowing where the hell we're going.
