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.

Re: What is Love?
Hi Saco.
Thanks for your input on this topic.
Originally posted by Saco View PostA quick question though, can you describe love by only mentioning ONE of these attributes?
As I mentioned in my thread..."The MYTH of love lies softly on a shier veil of compromise, common ground, and respect." What I mean by this is that these are some of the elements that are commonly visible to us. I mean, love, it's true n' all, but it's the vivid forms we actually see in it. Love is composed of many diverse definitions, and I am not one to define it completely. However though, respect is the common definition you’ll hear from most people and their relationships. I mean, without respect, how can you love? Love is respect and respect is love. It defines itself. When you love someone, you care for them, and when you care for someone then respect isn’t questionable at all. Just one of the common factors for it's meaning.
Originally posted by Saco View PostSomething to remember is that real love doesn't reveal itself until you are married for a few years. THAT'S when you understand if what you have is love or something else.
I agree with you here as well. I believe as a relationship grows into time, only then will you realize how meaningful your love is for one another, and you begin to uphold what the other person has in store for you.
Originally posted by Saco View PostReal love, the love many would die for, isn't fueled by money, shiny cars, or big houses. That's another lesson we should all remember. There are so many people that have EVERYTHING but in reality have NOTHING. Real love most of the time can be found in simple families, the ones trying to survive, the ones going through life's many difficulties. Why? Because Diamond cannot be polished without friction, Gold cannot be purified without fire, and love, respect, etc. cannot be truly appreciated and felt until you have gone through hardship.
Originally posted by Saco View PostThis is what love is my friend . Hardship, happiness, distress, woe, anger, joy, etc. One word? Crazy.
Originally posted by Saco View PostIf we learn well, we will be able to graduate and leave this world and experience TRUE LOVE which is less complicated and much more clear. That is something we cannot understand unfortunately but we don't need to.

Originally posted by Saco View PostYou can say your in love when you continue to love someone with all your heart NO MATTER WHAT! I hope all of you will find that kind of love one day. All the best, we have a loooonnnngggg road ahead of usLast edited by iFemale; 02-27-2009, 01:43 AM.

No other language has a single word that encompasses everything that the word "Love" represents. In other words... Love is a gimmick.

Don't look for enlightment on a forum on this subject. Find an old married couple and ask them if love is the reason they lasted so long.

I had to.

The girl doesn't need to be "really hot" either, that's lust you're thinking of.

Love gives that funny feeling in your stomach, keeps you awake at night and never goes away.
But how does pain pain pain ride with your signature?

Re: What is Love?
Of course not, love has many definitions as I mentioned at the end of my thread. Respect, alone, is composed of many categories and analogues itself! So no, it's not safe to identify love by such limited context. As I mentioned in my thread..."The MYTH of love lies softly on a shier veil of compromise, common ground, and respect." What I mean by this is that these are some of the elements that are commonly visible to us. I mean, love, it's true n' all, but it's the vivid forms we actually see in it. Love is composed of many diverse definitions, and I am not one to define it completely. However though, respect is the common definition you’ll hear from most people and their relationships. I mean, without respect, how can you love? Love is respect and respect is love. It defines itself. When you love someone, you care for them, and when you care for someone then respect isn’t questionable at all. Just one of the common factors for it's meaning.
Look at so many different couples out there, they all enjoy love (I’m talking about normal couples) but it’s not all the same love they experience. Every couple has something that all the others don’t. This further complicates love.
Wow, like you are so deep.
What is love? It is PAIN PAIN PAIN... full of PAIN and nothing but PAIN. That is love. We grow up and look for it; instead we should seek to have a nice and a serene life. It may be boring sometimes, but better boring than hurtful PAIN!
Nicely said, and btw, it's not boring to not look for it. I actually find great satisfaction being single.
You can't buy your way into love...it's simply priceless.
Nise answer Saco jan, give yourself a chance to do the above and spend less time on the net.
The girl doesn't need to be "really hot" either, that's lust you're thinking of.THE ROAD TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IS A LONG ONE!
