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.

    Also, I think zionism uses judaism for its benefit when it fits but zionism is an inherently secular movement and there have been and are clashes between zionist and ultra orthodox joos.
    Zionism hides behind the skirt of Judaism. All J3ws are not Zionists and all Zionists are not J3ws. J3ws need not be persecuted, that just builds a stronger case for Zionists. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't be made aware of the relationship.

      I agree with this statement however it is worth noting that by far most xxxs are zionists.

        It's telling that a number of the young turks were zionists themselves, not least because they were ethnic joos. Likewise, the same forces that sponsored the zionists also did the same with the bolsheviks.
        For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
        to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

          After the fall of the USSR, many migrated to North America.... didn't take them too long to make a mess of things here either.

            Well, I'd say homogeneity leads to a lack of competition, a lack of competition leads to a lack of the need for evolution, the absence of evolution leads to the demise of the entity in question.

              If a group has one mission it will achieve it sooner rather than if there are multiple ones. When it comes to religion and the stability within a country or ethnic group, it is more stable to have one dominant religion rather than many. There are a number of cases where this is true.

                Of course unity is good when you have a clear cut objective, goal, or mission. I guess the best way to put it is....Unity is good in short bursts.

                I'm not dismissing that, what I'm dismissing is the need to have a perpetually unified and philosophically or ideologically homogeneous group of people. Advocating homogeneity as a way of life is what I'm referring to.

                  Armanen jan, I understand your point of view but I'd be careful of analyzing religion from a purely practical point of view. We shouldn't accept a religion because it brings us together - although that is a good side effect - we should accept a religion (Christianity) based on the truths held within.

                    If your going to accept religion based on thr truth held within then no one would accept religion.

                      I wasn't saying that is the only reason, just that unity is good. I would rather see a monoethnic country, with one dominant religion than a poly ethnic and religious one. We have seen how easy it is to break up nations along ethnic and religious lines.


                      And Haykakan: There may not be Truths for you in religion or spirituality, but there are for others. If you want people to respect your thoughts, then respect theirs.
