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 heard this sexaholic girl on a talk show once (you decide the credibility). She said that she lost the bridge that connected the emotional to the physical during sex, like an animal. Man, that would suck now that I think about it.

        HAHAHA , I don't know!

        I don't think the frequency matters as much as the animal need for it. I don't know how to word that. :?

          I got it!

          I don't think the frequency matters as much as how they perceive it.

          Yea, that sounds better.

            I think that the ultimate meaning of life is to be happy. Happiness is the meaning of life, and whatever causes one’s happiness, varies from person, to person.

            Thus, "the meaning of life" is seemingly different, yet when u break it down, it's the same for everyone. Happiness / satisfatcion of one's self and/or life.

            There is no certain meaning, no dogma. We create in our minds, or decide what is most meaningful/ "great" to us, and to attain this greatness, is the meaning of life.


            And as flames said, for people who feel that they have no meaning, it's a sad sad world. Doesn't mean that they were never menat to have mening in their lives, it just means that they don't choose to give it Their "meaning", or they dont value anything enough for it to serve as the core or motivation of their happiness.

            only we can determine what is the meaning(cause of happiness and satisfaction) of our lives.


            every man for themselves.



            oh and surfer, as far as religion goes, I think religion is sort of a safe haven for people, it make them feel guarded, and protected knowing that God is there.
            Most people "believe" simply because of hopes that they will be rewarded in the "after-life" Or because of fear of just the opposite.

              Would you guys consider Astrology a type of religion?

                no, Astrology is science based on facts.
                if "anti-astrologists" gave it a chance and read about the houses, stars, planets, and how their movements cause changes through time...they'd know what I mean.

                  yes it uses science to explain itself. However it is a belief, as is religion. Some choose to believe it and some choose not to. The only difference is that no religion has a somewhat scientific background, and astrology does.

                  therefore, for some, it may have more credibility.

                    Astrology CAN have spiritual and religious undertones as evidenced by studies of ancient Egypt. but it's neither a religion nor a belief system.

                    astrology is a language. It works best as a language, and it's more universal than English. The astrological classification system can and does relate to anything and everything...
                    As for the so-called scientific critics, why do they offer such unscientific criticism of astrology? Why do they fear open discussion? Why do they not offer specific studies of astrology?
                    Many of us think of astrology only in terms of newspaper sun sign columns. By their very nature, they must be general and even vague, but they do serve a purpose to introduce us to the world of astrology.

                      People. Check this out. A very heavy philosophy known as existentialism. The human ability to create meaning! That is something that we do. Come on folks. This goes along with the nation state. We created that for security, and for nationalism. Nationalism creates purpose. Think about this. We go to college, we are scambling for a major. We dont know what we want to do yet. Why do we need to find something to do, for security. We dont want to be homeless. Security is our purpose. Imagine if you just stopped right now, and didnt feel the need to have a purpose. We are always working towards something, we always put meaning in something. Imagine for one second a world without nations, without purpose, without meaning. I cant imagine it.

                      Even religion is ruled and made credible by fear. If you sin you go to hell, so do what you tell us. I believe in religion, but it is true that it is governed by fear. Our purpose is to please God, to reach heaven. Why? Because we will go to hell otherwise. We put meaning into this. A muslim guy is feeling the same thing I am, I put meaning into my religious experiences, and he puts his meaning into his. Surfing is something I cannot live without...I put meaning into it. If they banned surfing tomorrow, half of you wouldnt care...I woulndt know what to do with myself. So what do you do in a world without purpose and without meaning?

                      What do you think?

                      I would definitely kill myself, because if you don't have any purpose and meaning in this life, then what's the poit of living and wasting nature's time :?: Do u know that the most suicides are happening in Scandinavian
                      countries, and you know why? because they have no meanings in their lives. They live in the absolute perfectness. People are rich, they don't need anything, they have everything, government satisifes people's needs. All they do is get up each morning go to work,if they want to, eat,
                      sleep, go to WC and nothing new. People have lost their interest of life,
                      and that horrible to live like that. But a purpose gives something to yourself, you have a goal to reach! a life full of challenge and interests.
                      my whole point is whoever is a person, he/she must have a goal, otherwise he/she has no place in a growing society, which needs people
                      to help it's growth. Because of the purpose humans achieved so many things, so life without a purpose it's not "life".
