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.

    Oh this is one of my favorites. I do love that quote and the book as well. Somehow it makes you understand how and why people think the way they do.

          I dislike blasphemy on purely rational grounds. If there is no God, blasphemy is stupid and unnecessary; if there is, then it's damned dangerous.

          The Lord himself prefers common looking people. That is why he makes so many of them.

          God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.
          - Voltaire

          The biblical account of Noah's Ark and the Flood is perhaps the most implausible story for fundamentalists to defend. Where, for example, while loading his ark, did Noah find penguins and polar bears in Palestine?

          When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle. Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me.

            I ran across this while planning for my essay.

            Thai-Samurai, you're probably familiar with it.

            "I have yet to meet a man who is as fond of Virtue as he is of sex." -Confucius

              I think I came across that one. I have the Wing Tsit-Chan textbook.
              I remember this one I liked a lot, it's actually the shorted one in the book.
              "When is mat was crooked Confucius did not sit on it." lol

              Also the posted one "God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh." -Voltaire
              I wonder if he said that as a joke or if he was being serious.

                    Confucious was really confused when he said that. lol. And thanks Anushik. You just reminded me of who and what I was mad at when I posted that. How ironic it was in this thread. Anywho sticking to the subject,
                    I seem to like this one, I found the other day.

                    The consuming desire of most human beings is deliberately to plant their whole life in the hands of some other person. I would describe this method of searching for happiness as immature. Development of character consists solely in moving toward self-sufficiency.

                      If you want something very, very badly, let it go free.
                      If it comes back to you, it's yours forever.
                      If it doesn't, it was never yours to begin with.

                      Maybe part of loving is learning to let go.

                      You don't die of a broken heart, you only wish you did.
                      Marilyn Peterson

                      I don't love you because I need you. I need you because I love you.Erich Fromm

                      Beauty that is unaware of itself is the most beautiful.

                      How come we don't always know when love begins, but we always know when it ends?

                      When I told you I loved you, I meant it, but only because I wanted to please you. When I touched you, and my eyes told you I loved you, I meant it because I'm bad at lying.
                      Claire Breaux

                      It's funny, isn't it, how you can be surrounded by people and be lonely. Yet one person can bring infinite contentment.

                      The one that loves the least controls the relationship.

                      The worst way to miss someone is to have them sitting beside you and knowing you can't have them. me
