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.

  • Why J3ws are Liberal

    The most frequently asked question I receive from non-J3ws about J3ws is, why are J3ws so liberal?

    The question is entirely legitimate since J3ws (outside of Israel) are indeed overwhelmingly liberal and disproportionately left of liberal as well. For example, other than blacks, no American group votes so lopsidedly for the Democratic Party. And the question is further sharpened given that traditional J3wish values are not leftist. That is why the more religiously involved the xxx, the less likely he is to be on the Left. The old saw, "There are two types of J3ws -- those who believe Judaism is social justice and those who know Hebrew," contains more than a kernel of truth.

    In no order of importance, here are six reasons:

    1. Judaism is indeed preoccupied with social justice (as well as with holiness and personal morality), and many J3ws believe that the only way to achieve a just society is through leftist policies.

    2. More than any other major religion, Judaism has always been preoccupied with this world. The (secular) Encyclopedia Judaica begins its entry on "Afterlife" by noting that "Judaism has always affirmed belief in an afterlife." But the preoccupation of Judaism has been making this world a better place. That is why the Torah (the Five Books of Moses) is largely silent about the afterlife; and it is preoccupied with rejecting ancient Egyptian values. That value system was centered on the afterlife -- its bible was the Book of the Dead, and its greatest monuments, the pyramids, were tombs.

    3. Most J3ws are frightened by anything that connotes right wing -- such as the words "right-wing" and "conservative." Especially since the Holocaust, they think that threats to their security emanate from the Right only. (It is pointless to argue that Nazism stood for National Socialism and therefore was really a leftist ideology. Whether that is theoretically accurate doesn't matter; nearly everyone regards the Nazis as far Right, and, therefore, J3ws fear the Right.) The fact that the J3ws' best friends today are conservatives and the fact that the Left is the home of most of the J3ws' enemies outside of the Muslim world have made little impact on J3ws' psyches.

    4. Liberal J3ws fear most religion. They identify religion -- especially fundamentalist religion and especially Christianity -- with anti-Semitism. J3ws are taught from birth about the horrors of the Holocaust, and of nearly 2,000 years of European, meaning Christian, anti-Semitism. They therefore tend to fear Christianity and believe that secularism guarantees their physical security. That is what animates the ACLU and its disproportionately J3wish membership, under the guise of concern with the Constitution and "separation of church and state" (words that do not appear in the Constitution), to fight all public expressions of Christianity in America.

    5. Despite their secularism, J3ws may be the most religious ethnic group in the world. The problem is that their religion is rarely Judaism; rather it is every "ism" of the Left. These include liberalism, socialism, feminism, Marxism and environmentalism. J3ws involved in these movements believe in them with the same ideological fervor and same suspension of critical reason with which many religious people believe in their religion. It is therefore usually as hard to shake a liberal xxx's belief in the Left and in the Democratic Party as it is to shake an evangelical Christian's belief in Christianity. The big difference, however, is that the Christian believer acknowledges his Christianity is a belief, whereas the believer in liberalism views his belief as entirely the product of rational inquiry.

    The J3ws' religious fervor emanates from the origins of the J3wish people as a religious people elected by God to help guide humanity to a better future. Of course, the original intent was to bring humanity to ethical monotheism, God-based universal moral standards, not to secular liberalism or to feminism or to socialism. Leftist J3ws have simply secularized their religious calling.

    6. Liberal J3ws fear nationalism. The birth of nationalism in Europe planted the secular seeds of the Holocaust (religious seeds had been planted by some early and medieval Church teachings and reinforced by Martin Luther). European nationalists welcomed all national identities except the J3ws'. That is a major reason so many J3ws identify primarily as "world citizens"; they have contempt for nationalism and believe that strong national identities, even in America, will exclude them.

    Just as liberal J3ws fear a resurgent Christianity despite the fact that contemporary Christians are the J3ws' best friends, leftist J3ws fear American nationalism despite the fact that Americans who believe in American exceptionalism are far more pro-J3wish and pro-Israel than leftist Americans. But most leftist J3ws so abhor nationalism, they don't even like the J3ws' nationalism (Zionism).

    If you believe that leftist ideas and policies are good for America and for the world, then you are particularly pleased to know how deeply J3ws -- with their moral passion, intellectual energies and abilities, and financial clout -- are involved with the Left. If, on the other hand, you believe that the Left is morally confused and largely a destructive force in America and the world, then the J3ws' disproportionate involvement on the Left is nothing less than a tragedy -- for the world and especially for the J3ws.

    Re: Why J3ws are Liberal

    It is my understanding that Liberalism is a J3wish based fundamentalist institution which has outposts throughout the Western world. The J3wish organizations that ferment liberalism control Europe and the United States and it is through this control that they wish to impose their will on the rest of the world. Whether or not they succeed depends on Israel's success in the Middle East. Some people wonder why there remains conservative minded people among cultures, more specifically among Armenians. The answer to this is quite simple. Armenians are stubborn. Very stubborn. The Turks couldn't change us after centuries of rule and surely the Liberal propaganda that is imposed on Armenians in the Diaspora and Armenia proper will fail as well. It might have had some success at first but in the end, it will fail because the Armenian mind isn't made of play doh. The only reason many Armenians in America support the Liberal party is because of those within the party that make promises towards the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. That is the tragic mistake that is being repeated by the Diaspora. I fail to understand why Armenians ever thought that justice towards their cause would come from Liberal politicians, let alone any politicians. Armenians need to rely on their own institutions, and frankly, unless Armenians own the law system and control the courts, there is nothing to be gained from aligning ourselves with any politicians, be it Liberal or Conservative.

    There are claims that religion and politics shouldn't be mixed. Those claims are obviously absurd since the two party system in America is based on religion. In fact, it is nothing more than a one party system that has an liberal J3wish opposition. The Conservative right which is supported by Christian Evangelicals are more pro-Israel than the Liberal party. So anyone that claims that there exists a "democracy" that represents the people are either delusional or just plain ignorant, most likely the latter.

      Letters: US J3ws shouldn't blindly vote liberal

      This month, the president called on Israel to go back to the 1967 borders, and said after that Israel will have to deal with the refugee problem.

      It was a black day for America, and a blacker one for Israel.

      Nobody should be surprised. President Barack Obama never lied. It has always been crystal clear where he was going on this issue. Yet, incredibly, the great majority of American J3ws voted for him.

      We are our own worst enemies. Nothing has been able to break this bizarre belief that we must vote liberal Democrat progressive left no matter where they may be leading us, not the Inquisition, not the Polish pogroms, not the Russian black hundreds which our grandfathers fled, not the Holocaust, not the 60 years of effort to annihilate Israel.

      Just hang in there, Israel. America does not support Israel just because of the J3wish lobby. America supports Israel because the American man in the street, John Doe, believes Israel is right and the Arabs are wrong.

      America will come through for Israel, and this man Obama will go down in history as a one-term disaster.

      Particularly if the J3wish vote comes to its senses in 2012, which I think Obama finally ensured.

        Well said! It is an interesting contrast, joos tend to be leftists, many are radical leftists, while Armenians are on the right yet tend to not be extreme right wing either.
        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.

          Thanks, I think I should start writing columns to expose what is obviously not discussed too often in the press. Now to find a newspaper I can write for that isn't owned by Hryas... lol.
