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.

    when are we human?>

    When are we considered human? when is a fetus wrong to kill?... ok, lets try to come up with explanations for this without getting into abortion is wrong or right arguments.. im sure this forum has seen those.. anywho..

    I have read few quite interesting debates and both sides though being close, iv always felt that the "prolife" position held stronger arguements as to the baby is wrong to kill as soon as it is conceived. I want to know what other arguements or pro/con this statment. ok.. feel free to explain yourself .... and lets try not to make TOOmany links and copy'pastes from others.. but our own udnerstanding of the matter please

      since we are sprititual beings first and foremost, i'd say we become human beings when each of us decides to commit to a particular human body...that moment when our mission shifts focus to being a human being with needs to experience life on earth do we become human...perhaps it's a different timeline for each soul and the works it has to do in this world, (its mission for incarnation)....however, the 1st 2 weeks of conception are the preembryonic stage (all or none), after 2 weeks we are called embryos and organogenesis begins, and after 8 weeks we are fetuses having undergone all major organ development....

          If we have an out-of-body experience, are we temporarily not human?

            OK, well i dont know about an ut-of-body: experiance.. cause i have no idea what that feels like.. lol.. but, i know that being human, as we are now, we feel like we "NEED" to preserve ourselves and protect ourselves. And, i dont think it would be a stretch even in this liberal environment to say that we care much to save babies and be gaurdians to them, even those who are prochoice. So, now the problems is, when are we "babies" and when are we susceptable to human care and love??? looks like not many people have interest in this topic..

              It's not an easy question to answer. From the moment of conception, the organism is human biologically speaking. There's still the question of whether or not there's more to it than that, and that's a hard one to answer. I'm not sure we can answer that. It is an interesting topic; I'm just not too sure how to approach it exactly.

                  These words braught warmth to my heart.... how did u ever get so smart.


                  Well, I have heard very convincing arguments about this issue, which basically argues that the fact of killing the fetus, at any stage is killing a potential human being, thus taking away the "experiances" from him/her that defines the core basis of a "human".. because we are emotional beings and therefore interact and remember, and have a "good" time and have a bad time.. we define whats good and wahts bad for us.. and we have perfect free will.. SO.. basically, just for the fact that killing a fetus is taking away its experiances, is the same reasoning that killing a person is bad because we take away his experiances.. and hurt those who love him/her.. so, this makes it really easy to define that "killing a fetus" is in essence wrong, because its not different than killing a fully grown human.

                  And, if your gonna argue that "oh in that case we cant kill sperms, or the menstrual cycle is murder" then go home, cause you dont understand the difference

                    when are we human?
                    when we ralize that we need to be less selifish and care moer about others- oh wait that's not human, that's more close to perfection and divinity- its in human nature to be selfish and only see things from your own prespective- so i guess we are all HUMAN in definition, but what does it mena to be human? what does it mena ?humanity? for humanity? for the human kind? human human human? arent we all human anatomically? we are not beasts, not amoebas, not microchips, not plastic, we are human, but do you mean socially a HUMAN? like to have feelings, to be a moral human being? because if that's the case, then no one is human, we all have afults and we strive to be "human"

                    i shuold stop, because im confusing myself here again-
