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.

    And I did say that right now, the only way it can "just be," as you said, is by legalizing.
    Don't be a nerfbrain. I can have sex with anyone, yet somehow picking up someone to pay them to hav sex should be a matter of statute law? You are still a nerfbrain for not comprehending this.

        You have the right to do whatever you please with your own property, including your own body. In theory, the government exists to ensure those rights, including your right to not be murdered. Prostitution takes away the rights of no one if it is consensual. It should not be any of the government's business.

        Again, this is not about making profit/ buissness, if that is on your mind then of course its better to legalize prostitution as it would bring more benefit to the buissneses.
        This is about whether or not decriminalization (because Anonymouse, is right, the government cannot make anything legal - it can only make things illegal) would be of any benefit to society or to the prostitutes themselves. Any industry operating in a free market will be a better business. Prices and working conditions should be dictated by that market, not by the government.

          The point is, in case I have to spell it out for you, something doesn't start off as illegal and then you go and "legalize it". The way things work with our societies is that things are assumed to be legal until you go and pass laws making them illegal. That's the whole point of a "free society".
          Apparently you have not noticed it is illegal! If you want to sit around and define a utopia, be my guest. But do not cloak it with semantics and pseudo intellectualism.

            I am comprehending this, you phucking ass hole. You are not comprehending the fact that they have already made it a matter of the law! As I said to Seapahn, who seems to be your equal on the scale of stupidity, if you want to discuss a utopic society that theoretically can no longer exist, then enjoy. However, in order for you to enjoy your natural right to pay for sex in this society it will have to be legalized. If you cannot comprehend that, then you are a nerfbrain.

              Universal stupidity is one of the things that has truly no bounds as you often demonstrate, quite eloquently I might add. Given this, it's not hard to see that any two people with a finite mind will be equals relative to the ultimate limits of the stupidity scale.

              Pseudointellectualism? How was that for pseudointellectualism? ... interestingly enough a term which you haphazardly throw around in order to paint yourself as an intellectual, while in the mean time continuing to reinforce the notion that you are nothing but a pseudo pseudointellectual.

              Ok now that I got the fun part out of my system, I forget what I was going to say about the topic.
              this post = teh win.

                Apparently a nerfbrain of your capacity cannot comprehend the basic thrust of the argument. Why should something that is perfectly natural for two couples to do, be a matter of State law? Who is the State that says you cannot pay to have sex? Can you not let that just be? But then again you are a nerfbrain, a moron, if there ever has been one on planet earth. You should slit your wrists, but you don't merit the blunting of a knife.

                  I hope you made yourself feel better. Unfortunately you also forgot what I had written. There was nothing "intellectual" about it; it was common sense. Common sense is not arrogant.

                    Unbelievable. Again you ignore what I have written. Let us run through this yet again for you and all of the other slow individuals reading this ridiculous exchange. To have something be legal, in the sense we are discussing, does not mean it is stated in a book of law that it is permitted. To have something be legal does not imply government regulation. It simply means that there is no clause that prohibits it.

                    Now, your stance is essentially that it should never have been addressed in a legal manner because it was nobody's right to question sexual freedom to begin with. That is all well and good but you obviously fail to see the obsolescence of that view. You are now arguing for the way peoples minds should have been around the time such actions were taken. It is a fact that you feel sexual freedom is a natural right. Fine. Permitting something that was formerly prohibited is, in itself a legal matter. There is no way around it and that is not because of process; it is because of logic and language. If you start a topic about apple pies and I say I do not like apple pies, I am still on topic.

                      Can we just use the word "decriminalize" instead of "legalize?" Will that satisfy everyone?
