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.

    You still haven't told me what you believe in if not evolution or creationism ... that's all I am waiting for really. What is it that you feel has brought the Homo sapiens sapiens to this point? We are the wise wise men. Meaning we are wiser than the first Homo sapiens if you can follow me lol. You can point by point dissect the evidence I posted if you want. Here's the thing though Anon, it's easy to talk about doing something it's another to actually do it. It's similar to the differences b/w ppl who are capable of completing tasks and the ones who always start something but never finish.

    Don't be a half stepper ...
    I believe that aliens created us.

      Great thanx me too just I think they let the small organisms evolve into bigger ones. Still that notion doesn’t repudiate evolution in any sort of manner at all given the body of evidence available for ppl in regards to evolution.

      I'll utilize these lyrics to talk for me ...

      "Your gettin' "E" for effort and "T" for nice try ..."

      Tom I am not waiting for your response to insult you. As a matter of fact in my second post in response to what you had written I didn't name call you anything showing how incorrect you can truly be ...

      I think it's great you guys think I'm all old lol Anonymity rules right Anon LMAO!! I'll take that as a compliment coming from you guys. P.S. 40 isn't old Wino you got time man!!

      And look at how I can hold it down fine w/o my buddy Winoman. Unlike the two of you. RA RAA RAAAA

      Give me an "A" give me an "N" ... yada yada

      There is an entire website devoted to this "discussion" here ... read or ignore to your hearts content.

        • You don't have to quote me when the post you're quoting is directly above your own ... durh.

          • Ok I just took a second to read most of the old evolution thread. I think it's weird that all the threads aren't just listed. Anyway all I have to say is WOW ... man Anon if I were you I'd still be trying to remove my enormous foot from my even larger mouth.

            Props to Loseyourname ... he pretty much dropped science on alloyall, no pun, although some ppl are just incapable of admitting when they're wrong.

            Anon you raised some academic points but most were just speculation.

            I think it's funny that Loseyourname did the exact same thing I did in trying to get you (Anon) to present an alternative idea over and OVER again! lol

            The whole not believing in speciation in the beginning and then changing your tone was funny.

            You keep saying that evolutionists are so arrogant they think they know the answers to everything. How does accepting the fact that evolution is a reality make a person omniscient? It's one scientific law that's it ...

            Then you're constantly onanonanon (heheh) about species jumping from one to another ... uhhh one species dosen't jump into another it evolves LMAO!!

            What about birds Anon do you disagree that they evolved from dinosaurs? What about humans having a reptilian brain (brain stem) and a tail bone. Macroevolution is provable in humans by the fact that ppl are growing up to have fewer and fewer wisdom teeth. We are changing right before everybody’s eyes.

            And putting evolution through the scientific method, well we are it just takes many many lifetimes, duh. To expect immediate results with evolution is just plain silly. Time will prove evolution even more true than history already has.

            The fact that you can't let this topic go is very telling ...

                  It's good that you actually went back to read the old threads. And as expected, of course you would see my position as "speculation", my position being that I am questioning evolution. How can questioning be something other than speculative? Talk about begging the question.

                  The fact of the matter is, my whole position on this is that it doesn't matter whether it's creationism, or evolution, because behind it lurks the specter of belief, whether you like to admit it or not.

                  • Everything can be speculative with that kind of mentality and no one can argue against the fact that nothing is 100% certain. I already stated this clearly a while ago.

                    I think in comparison to a thread I was reading last night on another board we really don't do this topic justice or whatever. Both sides included ...

                    Like why the fossil record has gaps ... A. Fossilization is extremely rare and B. some animals that have been on the earth for some 70 million years that are still around today have left no fossils. That illustrates two things 1. Some species due to their biological structure do not leave behind anything to become fossilized 2. There can be gaps in the fossil record for species in excess of 70 million years!

                    Also did you know that biologists make no distinction b/w micro and macro evolution?

                    If you do nothing else just read the first 3 pages of this thread ... I plan on checking out most of the thread.

                    here is the link to that forum Good Evo vs. Creationism thread

                    P.S. I'm not saying that you're a creationist.

                      Hm I speculate that you are the son of a Turkish xxxxx. Well I guess that proves it eh? Must be...since I questioned it...guess the fact of your birth certificate or what have you is of no signifigance...sure most accept it and there perhaps were witnesses - but I am speculating differently - so well - that means we can't rely on that silly peice of paper - AND ANY EVIDENCE TO THE CONTRARY!

                      Yeah the specter of belief.....just like gravity...guess we can believe it or don't...it doesn't matter - according to you if the basis of a "belief" is on fact or pure speculation - does it?...perhaps you should put it to the test - like from the top of the nearest tall building...whoa..that "specter of belief" - quite a concept...should we let the next egineer building a bridge know that his "belief" that his calculations are relevent has been questioned and that perhaps he just shouldn't bother? Should we just question all knowledge because it is based on "belief" ? Get real - stupid.
