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.

Gay Marriages

[QUOTE]Originally posted by Arvestaked Sexual preference has nothing to do with what kind of person someone is. There are good and bad of both sides and it will always be that way. I am not saying that every gay person I have come in contact with, I liked. That is not true. But the population among homosexuals that is good is the same percentage as it would be among heterosexuals and those are deserving of as much respect. [/QUOT
she just happened to be, the worst coach and person ive ever met, and since she's a lesbian, I totally changed my mind about homosexuals......I used to care less before lol

I was never out to condemn homosexuals. In fact what they do in their private lives is none of my concern. Hell, I've met many homosexuals. Real cool people. Does this mean I approve of their behavior? No. I think it is morally wrong. However, that is not for me to decide.
Furthermore, my objection to granting them marriage is purely on moral grounds, but with a democratic state, "morality" becomes a matter of majorities, thus the relativism that pervades. The number one virtue of the gay rights organizations is tolerance. The word tolerance takes on a whole new meaning when tossed out by liberals. To be tolerant no longer means to be polite and respectful in personal dealings with individuals and ideas you don t agree with. To be tolerant now means that one must embrace, love, and accept all liberal ideas and lifestyles. Dan, I think youre cool. I'm not here to label you or chastise you. My disagreement is purely my own. Don't listen to these vociferous lefties here. That is nothing to do with me not agreeing with that said lifestyle.
Of course I'm singling out the liberal fanatics here. The battle cry of these liberal groups is "Celebrate Diversity!" Anyone who has spent one week in a public university has had this phrase shoved down his throat a million times. What is quite interesting is that the only celebration is of liberal ideas and orthodoxy. Those heretics who do not accept our "progressive society's" beliefs on feminism, forced integration, abortion, and homosexuality are to be eternally driven out of the liberal Eden and subject to a lifetime of ridicule and disdain for their sins.Achkerov kute.

Secondly, say what you will about morality being defined by the majority but if it is unconstitutional under this government, who gives a rats scrotum what the majority thinks. Again, separation of church and state. The only way it can be viewed in any moral light is through the thin pages of a bible and that becomes irrelevant in the context of lawmaking, or at least should be.Last edited by Arvestaked; 02-18-2004, 05:44 PM.

Originally posted by Arvestaked First of all I am not a liberal. I am neither liberal nor conservative. And my ideas have not been influenced by anyone, especially some University (I have never attended one). So stop resorting to party bashing to fill up space. It is completely meaningless.
