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.

How could I worship all of the infinite non-beliefs I have? - I'm not even sure of all or in some case any of the particualrs of the infinite number of dieties (and combination of such) that I don't believe in (that constitutes the core of my "religion") and nor do I know of their particlar realities to appreciate what I need to worship (or perhaps avoid worship) of...I'm more focused on the everyday things you know - of getting on with my life - in the real world - working, appreciating my kids and family and enjoying a movie and a beer and such...no time or inclination to worship or even consider much concerning such esoteric and (IMO) totally unreal things....but perhaps I should contemplate the physics of the existance of the tooth fairy - and I could invent and practice a ritual to strengthen my disbelief and I could perhaps take up a collection (to pass out to needy kids who have lost teeth) - as the fairy clearly cannot provide...this could also be a worthwhile pursuit (in your eyes) I imagine (and I guess its already part of my "religion" eh? (though still don''t see how I am worshipping such - praying for forgivenss, to be given special considerations etc etc...) - Yeah I'm very religious....

    Yes, you also worship the State. In the absence of religion, they atheists create their own.

      Oh wow, the atheist attempts at humor.

        Yes exactly - this is the "argument" being proposed. I guess then - by definition - everyone is religious - its just impossible not to be....

          So you have nothing to say once again? You have talked yourself into a corner, and we all know it (including you finally) Your argument is based on an absurd claim, and as long as the basis is poor no amount of talking will make the argument sound good. Im sorry to have to point this out in what seems to be a mean way, but...oh well. Keep responding with these..

            Talk about absurdity, when all one's posts range on the realm of absurdity one is already in a corner that cannot get out. All you have done here is whine about my argument. It is because you could not respond to my argument which is why you respond with nothing more than desperate attempts at insults to comfort yourself. I didn't think it was possible for one person to possess such a vast reservoir of undiluted gibberish. Why is it that the people with the smallest minds always pretend they have something valid to say?

            • That's actually exactly what you do. I guess Freud's reaction formation was right for some of us...

                Right when I thought you have reached the limits of interweb tedium you take the boundary even further.
