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.

    Did you even read that post or the previous posts where the wild west issue was specifically addressed? Or are you just spouting opinionated jargon because that's what socialists/statists do. You have no idea what anarchy means aside from media spoon fed image. The Wild West was not as wild as you think. Just read the posts, that has already been refuted. Your beloved socialist utopia won't come to be since you admitted that people must be forced to socialize as opposed to being anything voluntary. Not only do you lack in reading the posts of the relevant topic before responding but you also lack ethics.

    i dont lack ethics i just have common sense. no matter how good a idea, no matter what way the vote goes there will always be a group of people that are agasint it. look at the communist party and the american nazi party granted i dont support either one of those partys but they both are forced to accept the democratic society. i was just useing those as a exmple.

      If you believe, as you said earlier, that people should be made and forced to comply with the wishes and dictates of the majority (in the example I gave of myself), then you believe it is ethical to use force on innocent people simply because they disagree. This is purely a matter of ethics my boy.

        He didn't say just disagree, but disgaree with the established government of their society. Not the same. We actually already do this pretty much all over the world. Its called following the law. If one breaks the law he is punished in one way or another (they try anyway...), which constitutes force, dont you think?

        I love how people use "innocent people" for effect. Is it ethical to do so with "uninnocent" people? Is that what makes the difference in this case?

          If person A has a dispute with person B then the belief is that they should submit to a neutral third party (government). But if person A has a dispute with government, there is no neutral third party that he can submit his case to, due to governments monopoly of jurisprudence. You have a gross misunderstanding of the law. As far as "innocent people" are concerned, anyone who is forcibly made to comply by government against their will, is an innocent victim.

              You have said nothing I don't/mis understand. lol Keep dreaming... It's good to make a point when you respond to a person, outside of "you this or that".

              P.S. Calling people innocent doesn't make them innocent - doesn't qualify as a serious response. Maybe it makes sense to a person who sees himself as a victim of his government. Anyone with this attitude is spoiled and unexperienced.

                  Tell that the Armenians who were victim of the Turkish government, or the Ukrainians under Stalin, or the Cambodians, or the Rwandans that they were "guilty" not innocent. I do think you can't understand this quite simple concept. Don't try too hard. You should have quit a long time ago. Staying beyond comprehension levels is the hallmark of a fool.

                    It seems alot of the confusion and misanthropy of what we call 'modernity' is rooted in the misunderstanding of words in which your political masters make it their goal to distort the meanings of words.

                    Here is the definition.


                    Main Entry: in·no·cent
                    Pronunciation: 'i-n&-s&nt
                    Function: adjective
                    Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin innocent-, innocens, from in- + nocent-, nocens wicked, from present participle of nocEre to harm -- more at NOXIOUS
                    1 a : free from guilt or sin especially through lack of knowledge of evil : BLAMELESS <an innocent child> b : harmless in effect or intention <searching for a hidden motive in even the most innocent conversation -- Leonard Wibberley>; also : CANDID <gave me an innocent gaze> c : free from legal guilt or fault; also : LAWFUL <a wholly innocent transaction>
                    2 a : lacking or reflecting a lack of sophistication, guile, or self-consciousness : ARTLESS, INGENUOUS b : IGNORANT <almost entirely innocent of Latin -- C. L. Wrenn>; also : UNAWARE <perfectly innocent of the confusion he had created -- B. R. Haydon>
                    3 : lacking or deprived of something <her face innocent of cosmetics -- Marcia Davenport>

                      I won't bother to argue with you. Think what you want of me. I think I have made it quite clear, although without resorting to degradation, what I think of you.
