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.

    Yeah but the characters in the old testament have no problem killing under God's command. Notice the difference? Killing and stealing for your own benefit: BAD. Killing and stealing when God says so: Perfectly acceptable.
    What is your point? God never intervened in that manner because he was asked to; he did because he was God. Nobody ever said, "Please God, allow me to phuck my dead brother's wife."

    Such is the trouble with those who speak for god from the jewish or muslim persuation. If some religious leader says "hey take this land it is yours because the old testament says so" or "kill the infidels they are shameless" the mobs don't ask questions. If a christian preacher told me to hurt somone I would be very puzzled.
    If, in the New Testament, it said "kill if your priest tells you to and do not ask why," you would probably not be so puzzled.

      The idea of prayer seems to be inconsistent in the context of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Might it not suggest a lack of trust in God's plan? Might it not combat the idea of free will, which God allegedly granted to humans? Might it not ask for favoritism when all should be equal? Might it not suggest that God does not know you believe unless you tell him so? Am I missing something?

            If you agree, you should not be posting.

            Prayer itself? No. But the questioning of the philosophical basis of something, regardless of what it is, does.

              You are right I don't belong here... but as long as your thread is available, I will try to say what I decide to say...in anyway I can...
              Ok so what is your conclusion about prayer?
              Is prayer the noise you make with your mouth? Or maybe without making a noise with your mouth... but still make a noise in your head, maybe..?
              Show me your philosophical basis plz...

                Another thread bites the dust.

                Holy shyt. I think I figured out what you do: you open up a thread, you pick out one word and formulate an entire nonsensical post in response to that one word. My initial post is all you need to understand what I am saying. Stop responding to me.

                  I did what you're saying .. "about your initial post" and I responded .. So maybe if you can do the same and "understand my first reply", maybe you too all you need is to understand what I am saying ..
                  But why should I stop responding to you, it will be like I'm not respecting you, but of course you can stop responding first .. then we'll see
                  And btw, to figure out what I do .. you have to be me .. so untill then maybe you should stop figuring things for now.. thanks
                  My life is my own reaction. It is my own echo ..

                    I think for the first time ever I will utilize the "ignore" function.

                      I am trying to understand why you're Ignoring ..
                      Be happy, forget about me
                      gtg to sleep.. I would stay and play ignoring .. but I prefer sleeping, it's more healthy
                      My life is my own reaction. It is my own echo ..
