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.

    Yes - he said he would never die for an idea. I said the same thing. It also goes for people, countries, religions, all of them. All in all, they're ideas - well, maybe not people, but I explained separately why I would not die for a person except in an adrenaline-induced moment of thoughtlessness.

      hmmm, well, it is possible 2 die 4 an idea, kind of. I suppose in our case would be for Armenia. Like, if the person was to go 2 war and fight to protect Armenia, then the person would risk their life for a country they love. That makes sense. To die for religions, now that i don't think ppl actually die 4.
      You said, "he" He who? Did anyone say they would actually die for an idea? I didn't read the whole thread
      I see...

        Many have died for religion and continue to. Muslim suicide bombers are an example.

          Most of the time, I think there is some people you should live for, for instance your familiy, your better half, and your children. Simply by the mean of responsability or by the fact that your death would be too painful for your fellows.

          If you think for yourself only, life sustained by curiosity (of what will happen next) is, for my concern, a simple trick.
          If you're wondering about such a question, it is surely that your actual life does not fulfil your wishes, your dreams, your state of mind. But if you say that you can change this state during your lifetime, then you are tied to life: it's a vicious circle. I do obviously not believe in fate, my destiny is in my hands.

          Perhaps we are going too far from the subject. Maybe we may answer it through the following situation. Imagine something like the Last Judgment, someone is telling you to choose (in a exclusive manner) between your life and something else. What this something else could be ?
          For the case of an idea, if by giving your life you're sure this idea will be realized, why not. However, this kind of situation never arrives, and we see (historically speaking) that giving only one life to an idea is never enough. Giving your life for an idea,yes why not, it is very pious and respectable, but only if you're followed by thousands of people. In the opposite case, you'll learn to shut up.

          No worry, I'm still looking for something to live for...

            hmmmm, interesting, but i thought that is just the way they express their religion. I guess it goes both ways. hmmmm
            I see...

              Dying is not a big deal. Everyone dies! Concentrate on who and what you LIVE for, while you can!

              Just my 2 cents on this topic!

                      You're right, but as someone who has realisticly/rationally thought she was very likely to die in the past, I must admit: I would not die for anyone or anything.

                      Maybe when I am married with children my answer will change...
