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.

      It looks a lot like a resort hotel in Dana Point, the name of which I cannot remember.

        Looks like that resort in South Africa. Sun City. Where all the rich Whites used to go to forget their troubles. Now where all the rich Blacks go as well, to forget the poverty of their erstwhile compatriots.

              Everyone FREAKS OUT with the gas prices and imo it's all due to media hype. Nobody is complaining about the price of a bottle of water in the same gas stations and water literally falls from the sky. Before any of us start complaining about the rising gas prices, which are really just now leveling out the price for Americans to what the rest of the world has been paying for years, do a quick calculation and see how much money it would take to run your auto on bottled water. Our perception of reality is way too much influenced and guided by the media hype masters. It's their job ...

                  Re: Cost of Oil and Gas

                  This is about the price of gas and not reasons the price is what it is.

                  Gasoline is actually quite cheap, especially in the US (especially when compared to other industrialized countries in Europe and when put in context of per capita GNP). People in the US aren’t paying very much.

                  In Caracas, Venezuela gas is $ .12/gallon.
                  In Lagos, Nigeria, gas is $0.38/gal. (sounds 'cheap,' but isn't in relative terms)
                  CNN/Money: Global gas prices
                  http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global_gasprices/


                  I was interested in finding out the cost of gas relative to income. Out of curiosity, I did a quick calculation (let me know if my math is wrong) based on current prices and current per capita GNP. I used Nigeria and the US.

                  The per capita income in Nigeria is $ 260.00. Gas costs $ .38/gallon. 100 gallons = $ 38.00

                  The per capita income in the US is $ 26,980.00. Gas costs $ 3.13/gallon. 100 gallons = $313.00

                  38/260=.146
                  313/26980=.011

                  So, 100 gallons of gas would be 15% of the ‘average’ Nigerian’s annual income.

                  In comparison, 100 gallons of gas is 1% percent of a US person's per capita income (based on numbers above).

                  Californians use, on average 400 gallons per person according to some estimates. If so, gas is about 4% of the average Californian’s income (assuming the $26,980 income). If Nigerians used that much, they’d be spending 60% of their income (even at $ .38/gal). Obviously, many people in the US make far more than that amount of money, too.


                  Cost of gallons of various liquids (e.g., Chanel No.5 is over $25,000/gal; just fun to read)
                  http://www.xxxxeyed.com/science/gallon/liquid.html



                  Average Gas Prices per gallon in US$ on 7/3/2006 (Europe compared to US)
                  Belgium $ 6.71
                  France $ 6.32
                  Germany $ 6.60
                  Italy $ 6.56
                  Netherlands $ 7.24
                  U.K. $ 6.66
                  U.S. $ 3.13

                      Gasoline is actually quite cheap, especially in the US (and considering the process required to CREATE it.)
