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.

    I am no medical expert or philosopher, but here are few thoughts:

    When the sperm fertilizes the egg, you have 46 chromosomes (23 from the sperm, 23 from the egg). Chromosomes are the genetic structures that contain the DNA of a human being. There can be no human without 46 chromosomes. Hence, the moment that the egg is fertilized by the sperm, we have the genetic structure of a full human being. His eye colour is determined, his hair colour, some aspect of his character which are DNA-related (e.g. aggressive nature, etc.) as well as his medical risks (some diseases have been associated with specific genetic patterns in the DNA). Whether and how this relates to the abortion debate, I do not know and do not care, as it is not the subject of this thread.

    Philosophically, to answer the question "what makes a human a human", we must answer the following question "what makes a human a human rather than an animal". Animals, just like humans, eat, sleep, mate, make love, procreate, feel love, communicate with one another, grief when there is a loss, etc. Some might say that humans are more intelligent than animals. True, but any species that is bent on destroying its environmental habitat and inventing new technologies to destroy one another can hardly call itself intelligent. Rather, what distinguishes the human from the animal, is its relationship to the invisible divine realm that is responsible for life on Earth. It is the divine spark in all humans that makes humans what they are. Note however that I am not talking about religion. It is more a question of spirituality.

      I think the more important question you're all missing is not whether or not it's human, of course it is, but if it is life, which it still then is.

          Anything that is not dead is by definition alive. If something is alive then it is a life, as such yes it is life, in my opinion...

            Indeed, so when people say "It's not life", you start wondering about their ethics.

                  I believe we can file that under "completely meaningless post."

                      what if someone acts like an animal? Like for example the turks, who brutally killed our poeple during the genocide. There ways can't be called human, but more beast like.

                      or a man who can't talk or love, but for some oddd reason only thinks about sex? should i accept him as an equal human beeing?

                      NO!
