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 do strongly suspect that the US will get hit with more catastrophic hurricanes this year (the storms that reach the East coast won’t be nearly as strong as the gulf storms—due to human-caused global warming). (If Houston gets hit major oil production would be quickly altered.)

    [Edit: The major damage from Katrina was not done by nature. The damage was from environmental racism/classism (and I was screaming at the Bush administration before anyone even mentioned that on news. I was VERY loudly telling FEMA to get people out and the Corp of Engineers in...Meanwhile, the ADMINISTRATION KNEW DAMN WELL that the levies (that they cut funding for) would likely go unless they acted immediately... Kanye spoke truth, in my opinion. Nature wasn't really to blame. But more rant on that somewhere later.]

    Global warming is junk science. It's typical of the leftists to try to have some blame for why we need more government and more regulation.

          "I'm gettin' tired of that shyt. I'm tired of phuckin' earth day. I'm tired of these self-righteous environmentalist, white, bourgeois liberals who think the only thing wrong with this country is that there aren't enough bike paths. Tryin' to make the world safe for their repulsive Volvos.

          Besides, environmentalists don't give a shyt about the planet anyway. Not really. Not in the abstract. You know what they're interested in? A clean place to live. Their own habitat. That's all. They're worried that sometime in the future they might personally be inconvenienced. Narrow, unenlightened self-interest doesn't impress me.

          And, by the way, there's nothing wrong with the planet in the first place. The planet is fine. The people are phucked! Compared with the people, the planet is doin' great. It's been here over four billion years. Did you ever think about that? The planet has been here four and a half billion years. And we've been here for what? A hundred thousand? And we've only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over two hundred years. Two hundred versus 4.5 billion! And we have the nerve, the conceit to think that somehow we're a threat? That somehow we're going to put this beautiful little blue-green ball in jeopardy?

          Believe me, this planet has put up with much worse than us. It's been through earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, pole reversals, planetary floods, worldwide fires, tidal waves, wind and water erosion, cosmic rays, ice ages and hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets, asteroids, and meteors. And people think a few plastic bags and aluminum cans are going to make a difference?"

            The song playing on Little Steven's show (see God Father and Mother) http://forum.armenianclub.com/showth...954#post149954 makes sense.

            "Worldwide Suicide" by Pearl Jam wouldn't be just metaphor (and a song about war) without 'environmentalists.' Thankfully, most people do care about the planet! Again, happy Earth Day.

            I think the 'planet' loves humanity (even though some, mostly in the industrial world, act like __________'s) I don't think the planet would 'be fine' without people (or chimps, whales, dolphins, tigers, jaguars, wolves, elephants, orchids... )

            If your goal is the extinction of humanity, this is the logic to follow. But don't be surprise if GOD and EARTH don't agree with you. Fortunately, Carlin is a master of sarcasm. Sometimes advocating the absurd makes the reasonable choice obvious.

              I'm sorry, once again I don't follow what you're point is.

                Global warming is real.

                I think anonymouse is trying too hard to be a "rebel".

                Whatever floats his boat...

                    No, it actually isn't. Do some research. I don't think you'll find a peer-reviewed publication that draws that conclusion.
                    It's natural to have cooler or warmer trends over time. It's not abnormally warm. We're talking a couple degrees here.


                    Other BS is about the ice melting. Yes, the polar caps have melted a little, but overall there has not been a loss of ice because there have been increases elsewhere.

                    More garbage still is the idea that our use of paper is killing the rainforest or any forest for that matter. What's been destroyed has been for development, not paper. Trees are planted to be cut down for paper.

                    The popularity of a belief does not say anything about its veracity. [insert ridulously large number here] people can be wrong.
