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.

    However, Dre's age is irrelevant. Let's discuss the topic at hand rather than making personal attacks.
    I agree. But age makes us more mature, and a matture attitude is as important as critical thinking.

    No, his real age does not matter but there can't be a meaningful discussion without a mature attitude.

      Agreed. And I wouldn't hold my breath in anticipation of a more mature dialogue with him. This is what he does and then when you corner him he says "I'm bored" and moved on.

        At one point I stopped taking him seriously. On the bright side, he gave us the opportunity to post links that discuss how life can evolve differently in different conditions.

          Putting evolution in front of the sun is pretty much scientific suicide.

            Okay, let's reason through this one. Now, there are lifeforms that live in those caves and in the depths of the ocean where there's no sunlight right? Well, they would likely continue to live if the sun stopped its fusion today. Now if they continue to live, then they will continue to evolve.
            But again, it was just an expression. Stop clinging to that because it's the only position you think you can defend and/or you want to avoid evolution.

              I'll ponder that thought, but in the meanwhile, I have to attend the 94th Commemoration of The Armenian Genocide. Perhaps Turks will evolve to see things our way one day. Peace.

                  And fyi, things that are well evidenced, like gravity, in science are still considered a theory.

                  Also kan, just looking at evolution in actual human, (post ancestors), we see plenty of evidence for it. Asides in differences skin pigmentation, and skeletal structures, you see Europeans evolving a tolerance to latcose due to herding cattle for centuries and including cow milk in their diets. In Africa, where countless people have been exposed to malaria for centuries, many africans now have a higher amount of genes for malaria resistance, (in short, if you took ten africans, 10 asians, and 10 europeans, all who have never been exposed to malaria and exposed them, the africans would have the best chance at fighting/avoiding the disease)

                  of course through cultural exchanges these beneficial genes will spread throughout the species instead of staying localized and dividing us further

                      Re: Question to Anonymouse - From "Traditional man and country"

                      Can pigs evolve wings if their "environment" promotes wing development in the same manner it did for the ancestors of birds? Or did the pig's ancestors miss the boat a long time ago and thus... became flightless terrestrial mammals?

                      Darwin's theory of evolution implies that "environment" can evolve these wings the way a dog breeder can overtime, encourage certain traits for his dogs such as having long ears, or tripling their sense of smell, except that instead of attributing these adaptations to a sentient breeder, it's associated with this force of "survival of the fittest" and "environment". Modern biology dictates against such a possibility. We know today that the environment can't be credited for being this formative hand in evolution. In many cases, it's just a series of mutation that are successfully transmitted to a large population through mating. When certain members of the species do not have access to gaining those mutations through breeding, the genetic gap increases between them and the population enjoying these inheritences of mutations. Overtime, this could lead them to no longer be the same species. If environment is to be credited at all in such cases, it must be limited in reference to geographical or perhaps social barriers seperating the two populations.

                      So what is the theory of evolution that is used today which accounts for the limitations of this "environment" role in leading the dynamic of evolution? Can someone define it for me because the Darwinian model is definitely not the one we're working with anymore in science, it has no predictive power to back Darwin's naturalist orientation.
