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's an idiotic argument. If we're all prostitutes, the word "prostitute" loses all meaning. You can just use "human" instead.

      Precisely my point, we shouldn't even be arguing about this since we are all prostitutes.

        Really Mousy? All the virgins in here are prostitutes?

          I wasn't talking about virgins, since a prostitute can't be a virgin nerfbrain. If we spend money for this and that, we are indirectly being prostitutes, since we are indirectly paying for sex.

            This is the most ridiculous conversation carried on by ridiculous people. One that has no purpose whatsoever and has strayed from the topic.

              Extra, that is a very disturbing statement. I really hope that it came out of some innocent rage rather than your true belief. First of all I'd like to state something in guys defense, and again you have a good selection of rotten apples as in every pile, but it is a lie that all men ever want is sex. Sure that it's a big part of it, but heck I want some good sex too! I think that men have been told from their childhood that they must obey their hormones and practice this disobeying as much as possible, because...well because it's a manly thing to do. It's somehow looked down upon or ridiculed if a man hasn't had as many sexual experiences, and that again is a pressure from the society.
              Eve, it did have a lot to do with rage. If it came down to it, I can't see myself agreeing with such dissipation. It's funny how Bruin made this post, as the same thing happened to my friends ex boyfriend. Now his stuck in a loveless marriage. I'm sure this would have never happened if he were to be honest.

              I agree, tricking a man into marriage is wrong, but so is tricking a woman into bed just for a one night stand. Maybe that's why most men want prostitution to be legalized. This way they don't have to waste their time with dinner and the movies. They could just go down to business.

              As for prostitution being legalized? All it does is degrade women, and spread sexually transmitted diseases.

                Actually, on the contrary ... it would give power to the women involved so instead of being ashamed and pushing them into street corners and back alleys would give them protection of the law. And as far as sexually transmitted diseases, I think legalizing prostitution would be the best way to combat their spread.

                ... again, here I would draw parallel to the porn industry. The actors and actresses are protected under the umbrella of the law and enjoy benefits such as regular checks for diseases etc. Just recently the porn industry in southern california was temporarily shut down due to a health scare. This would NEVER happen if it was some sort of black market hidden underground operation like prostitution is right now.

                Note that I'm not saying have no laws regarding prostitution. But something like strippers and stripping where in certain places and under certain conditions (i.e. keep underage kids away etc) it would be allowed.

                  With that kind of reasoning you can allow anything. "People are gonna do it anyway, so lets legalize it." Without putting pressure on the hookers and the johns by incarcerating them the problem will not go away, it'll only increase. You're suggesting that STD's are the only reason prostitution is a bad thing, which is not true in my opinion.

                    Who is? Since you didn't quote, I'll assume you are referring to me. I don't think prostitution is a bad thing if it is not forced.

                      That's where we disagree. Prostitution is a bad thing. It cheapens human life, to a set of private parts. The women who are prostitutes are such as a result of desperation. Not because they have chosen a lucrative career in getting abused by losers who can't find a date.
                      Prostitution is a symptom of a societal diseases like poverty and lack of education. You want to legalize the symptom and ignore the diseases. That’s an easy way out.
