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.

          The "theory" about Cane and Abel is very disturbing and unfounded. I'm not very religious, but I have read the Bible and I'll tell you that according to it, God is against sodomy. After all he destroyed the whole town for it. So, churches that oppose it strongly are free to do it as it is their faith, as long as they don't preach hate and intolerance.

          Here's my thought.
          If we take the Sodom and Gomorra story, there's actually a lesson in there to welcome all with open arms, even if they are gays. Lot, who is a prophet and thus an example for all Christians to follow, loved these people and did his best to save them all. He certainly didn't stand around with hateful posters yelling "Burn in Hell". So, while there's a clear plea in this story of the Bilble for us to love those that even God himself does not approve of, we skip right through it and arrive straight to the hatred and intense intolerance. In fact, that's my beef with many if not most self-proclaimed Christians. They utterly ignore the commanding lesson of the Bible which is to LOVE LOVE LOVE and instead the JUDGE, HATE, KILL in the name of the this love. Leave the judging (and killing) to God.

          As far as Armenia is concerned, the homophobia has less to do with the religion and more with the machismo of the people. To an average Armenian male it is almost insulting to think of another male doing female acts in the bedroom. I certainly wish this part of Armenian society to dissipate, cause it's small and stupid. I don't care what people do in the bedroom. The only things that irritate me are public displays of homosexual affection (although same goes for heterosexual as well) and to a smaller degree overly effeminate mannerisms that some gays have. More than anything, I'm just not used to both things, which is why they bother me.
          Sodom was destroyed because they were sexually promisquous in general, mainly they would hump anything that moved or didnt' move . There's nothing in the Bible specifically that says the city was destroyed bcos of that. Plus it's not clear yet what makes people gay. Could be that they're born with it, could be the upbringing, there are facts to support both sides.
          But we forget one main thing that the Christ said, don't judge, for you're not without a sin yourself. I don't know who goes to hell and who goes to heaven, but it would be very unfair if a good person who happens to be gay goes to hell while a crook who's straight goes to the same hell.

              Yes, the shaking caused by too many people humping is comparable to an earthquake; that is how Sodom has been destroyed.
              What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.
