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.

    church

    is the church currupt ?

    see....basically the church and relgion were used to control stupid society. Why was society stupid and uneducated ? Because priests , monks kept all the books and knowledge locked up in the church. Only they were allowed to educate themselves. People were kept stupid so they would be easily controlled and tricked. The church is a million, even billion dollar business.

    do you know where the idea of christianing came from ?
    the church made it so people would christian themselves in order to buy yourself a ticket into heaven. They also sold parchments, scrolls and other things to people, as a way to get into heavin easily. And stupid society believed this, so they bought up all the different things in order to get into heaven, got christianed, etc etc........thus the church got rich.

    I personally think, that my belief is inside me. I dont need to go to church for that. My body and mind is my temple, it is my sanctuary. If i have my belief, i dont need anything else. Whatever your god is , its inside you and all around you. Its not in wood, bricks and stone. Its not in 4 walls and a roof. Its inside you.

    if i offended any church goers, sorry....but this is what i think. deal with it

    im not saying that all churches are like this, some might have a good cause and beleif....but whatever.

    but basically throughout history, this was the main reason for creating a church, it was to use society, milk them dry of money, a way to control people using the name of god.

    i dont think the name of god(whatever god you believe in) should be used in order to get more money, or to control other people around you for your selfish greedy agendas

    I agree. But if you don't spring guilt and mind control on the masses they'll each start inventing their own religions to excuse their stupid behavior. Mind control is better than mindllessnes I guess. But today man is smarter, on certain parts of the planet anyway.

        yes, i agree.

        whenever there are humans, there will always be some type of control on others using religion or whatever else there is .

        is religion as strong as the law ?

        who are we to excuse our actions using 'religion' as the excuse, over the law ?

        i killed a cat and spilled its blood, its okay because im satanic, etc etc.

        is the law above it, or is religion above the law ?

              Not with you apparently, since one can argue, you yourself are a victim of another kind of mind control. Then again, you are an eggplant.

                  Re: church

                  I agree with you in almost all the points. Religion became "useless", if we may say that, and used today for controlling the mass (for some countries at least).
                  Bible says "love", people went to "love" Irak, Afganistan, Koweit, etc... with God approval,. From an abroad point of view, USA's church seems to be very corrupted.

                  Religion used to be a ciment for society, and this role is now ensured partially (almost totally) by the state. It tends to disapear, but like any entity, is trying to survive.

                  But one may wonder what the society would be without this kind of faith representatives.

                    But not you, you are enlightened and know above all. And stop interjecting stupid stuff about eggplants, I guess it is my turn to say something about a mouse. You bore me so.
