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.

  • Ideal Form of Government

    We're starting to talk about this in another thread, so I figured I may as well start a new one. This topic seems worthy of its own. I'd like for people to get as specific as possible here. Don't just say democracy or communism or fascism. I want to know how you think local and federal authority should be balanced, how much regulation of the economy there should be, how much taxation, in addition to what the governmental structure should be.

    Frankly, I'd be amazed if anyone actually participates in this, but oh well, I can hope. I'll post some of my own ideas soon.

    Ideal Form of Government?

    No such thing. Humans will complain no matter what.

      Of course there is an ideal form of government. That is why politics exists in the first place. The state of nature/ anarchy led us to ideals which took shape as "government."

      To answer you question, lose, I believe the best form of government is a Republic or Democracy.

        Not really. Perfection cannot exist in a human world. That's like saying perfect humans exist.

          I dont recall anyone saying anything about perfect. I never said anything about it, thats for sure. I will not repeat myself, read my previous post.

              Ideal form of government is a contradiction. There is no such thing. I think most people already know my answer to this.

                Government itself is not perfect. Government is a device to reach "perfect." Under all models of governments and economies, the state is supposed to organize people to attain the greater good.

                    Your answer is wrong. Anarchy leads to government. That is the very reason we are submitting ourselves to a state in the first place. Now go cut your hair into a mohawk and stick your toungue out.

                    Besides, the political economy requires a means of distribution of resources. Anarch does not have a system which can hold people accountable, nor does it have a system which handles the distribution of precious scarce resources.
