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.

    Well I don't know since I cannot even begin to wonder at my existential paradox, but one big mistake I definitely made, and I deeply regret was smoking marijuana.

        Why? Is it when you had the insight about your "existential paradox" and how the security of the womb felt as a warmer and better place?
        What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

          I'm not necessarily implying that one cannot or should not learn from one's own mistakes, merely that if bad experiences or mistakes can be mitigated, why not? Simply put, if there are things that are possible to learn from other people's mistakes, it should be sought. However, they are indeed inclusive, and nor did I suggest you cannot learn from your mistakes.
          I'm glad that we agree. Your initial "not necessarily true" did not seem as nuanced.

          However, I did suggest that, what one could have learned from one's own mistakes, one could have learned life's lesson from watching and observing those around, or reading books to gain insights into life. After all, what are most books but other people's life experiences compacted into pages? Experiences, that we in no way could have had the time or ability to experience ourselves to learn from. So where possible we can learn from those other peoples' experience. Or listening to our parents as we were growing up (yes I admit I was bad I thought I knew more!).

          P.S. "Smart" or "genius" is a matter of preference. I think genius sums it up just fine.
          We agree that it is possible - and smart - to learn from others' mistakes - and experiences in general - but
          1- There is a fundamental and qualitative difference between "experiencing" and observing.
          2- (You did not suggest it, at least not strongly) Why limit oneself to others' experiences? Not very ingenious!
          PS. I consider genius a person(concept) who(that), by essence, transcends others' "limited" experiences i.e. based on singular experience.

                And he hasn't stopped ever since. That explains everything.

                  I did not suggest one should limit oneself to others' experiences, but where preferrable and possible one should definitely take advantage of that as it would ease great many things in life. I think that more than experiencing, not enough people have given the other a try - to observe and heed the experiences of others. It's very underrated which is why I state it.

                  Where would we be if we did not have different ideas of what constitutes a genius?
