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.

    Morality has nothing to do here. You made a very stupid statement and where caught lying and are now trying to weasel yourself out of it. So where is the proof for your last statement? And I'm not confused at all, I'm just asking the people that believe there is a need for limits, where we draw the line.

    US and others ps. like you shows arrogance of what is freedom of speach and how it can be used against others.
    For better understanding of the matter you should see how governments treat some religious sects or how they try to prevent one to be spread to its population for 1,2,3, reasons.
    All the Laws are a tool to determine of how we like to live in our country.

    I'm very sad that u support turkish side ,cause it hearts only them what this has to do with your freedom of speech ? are you gonna say Genocide is a lie too? or are you our new Captain America guy?
    I live right next to France so I have every right to complain against this law, especially if there is a chance that this becomes a law around the whole of the European Union.
    I have said it before and I will repeat myself: if you don't like what I write then that is your problem. I will not stop writing because you have a problem with it. I am also against the treatment of religious sects, freedom of religion should be something universal as well. No government should ever have the power to tell us what is right or wrong to believe.
    Yes laws are tools to determine how we like to live in a country, and I have the right to fight any law that I think is wrong.
    So I should forget about my principles and become a sheep and follow the crowd because that is the cool thing to do? If I wanted to say it I should have the right to do it!
    And al those personal attacks show how much merit your argument has.

    There is a clear difference between executive decisions ( e.g. approval) and laws set by parliament.

    Parliament has a duty to explain to the public as to why a particular law is created, typically through public debate.
    You still haven't answered my question.

    Taner Ackam has it right:
    This will do nothing against Ankara except that they will gain more popularity in Turkey. I don't see how this is a blow against Turkey, it only shows that some people are willing to do anything to smother everything that doesn't agree with their view. I want to fight the trukish propaganda machine, go and study history, research the genocide and release papers, write books about the subject make the people hear your view. There is a right way to do things and there is a wrong way.
    Laws like this have the power to stop historical debate on any subject. How long until governments pass laws that it is illegal to discuss their view on history on any subject possible?

    A few people on this thread/forum post examples of turcish propaganda, post links to turc propaganda, seem to believe turc propaganda. It may surprise some people but not everyone sees the USA as the promised land.

    In my view, if it walks like a turc, talks like a turc, it's probably a turc.
    Yes personal attacks towards people who don't agree with you show how much merit your arguments have. Your are the same as your enemy the only difference is the paint coat.

    if people haven't noticed, the American system is not perfect. Furthermore, the American freedom of speech has very strong limits on libel, slander, hate speech, and much more. It's like the morons who claim they can say whatever they want in a work or school environment, because they have a freedom of speech. There is nothing unconstitutional about a law that stops liars intentionally spreading hateful propaganda to dilute the minds of innocent bystanders and smearing basic historic and scientific facts.
    Can you show me where the United States has stopped hate speech? If an organization as the Westboro Baptist church is allowed to exist it shows that hate speech is not a problem in the US. Any private organization can do as they please however it is not up to government to tell us what is true or isn't and what we can say and what we can't!
    Again the liar argument, you don't see this as a slippery slope do you? Where any country can chose what is the truth and start punishing those that don't agree with them. Let's say tomorrow Germany passes a law say Khojali happened like the Azeris say and anybody that denies it will go to jail for 10 years! Does that not sound retarded to you?

    You want to defeat the Turks, use their own game against them. Go and defeat them in the public forum, prove to the world that they are lying but the thing that we shouldn't do is turn in to them!

      KarotheGreat yes i posted in anger but most of my points were legit,i never wanted to hurt you personally im sorry if i did so.
      I'm targeting towards the people that react to such law and for my sadness i can see that the next good thing for armenia ...,and to put into realization of what the turks and muslims are doing to europe you are against the spread of the law into other european or non nations.
      This is good for THE VICTIMS and no i'm not into having all kinds of religious sect running in the streets and recruiting stupid people , cause stupid people will do and believe in such.

      Now i got my own religion named the Flying Octopus and we like to spread lies do you want to join? We also believe that the 2012 is the end of the world so will do group suicides wanna join? What you say no ? well ok il go talk to some other folks cause i got the freedom to do so...

        Right next to France, but not in France. if this law becomes pan-European you should lobby your MEP. As Artashes said " if you don't like it , get the eff out of Dodge".

        So I should forget about my principles and become a sheep and follow the crowd because that is the cool thing to do? If I wanted to say it I should have the right to do it!
        How many people follow their principles all the way to their grave?

        And al those personal attacks show how much merit your argument has.
        There was no personal attack there, just an observation but if it touched a nerve there's not much I can do. As the saying goes "If the coat fits, wear it."

        As regards "freedom" of expression, freedom of religious practice, freedom of thought, freedom of movement, freedom from unfair taxation and unfair laws, freedom of the media. Go and live in musselman lands and see how long people last expressing their wish for these freedoms.

        Unfortunately society sometimes has to deny certain freedoms to it's citizens "for the greater good".





        Does that not sound retarded to you?
        You have a fixation with the words : retard,retarded........................not the best choice surely ??

        You want to defeat the Turks, use their own game against them. Go and defeat them in the public forum, prove to the world that they are lying but the thing that we shouldn't do is turn in to them!
        Interesting that you say "You want to defeat the turcs" not WE. But you are definitely right that we shouldn't turn into them.

          Artashes, I think you're the only person to use the word "morals" in this thread. Sign of the times I suppose that everyone's getting their pants knotted over this law with what's legal and what isn't but more importantly "what's moral ?".

            I will fight this in any way I see fit, that is one of the beauties of freedom.


            How many people follow their principles all the way to their grave?
            What is the worth of a man that doesn't follow his own principles in life?

            So you want us to be like them now? You want us to give up our freedoms because they don't have it? Two wrongs do not make a right!
            Unfortunately society sometimes has to deny certain freedoms to it's citizens "for the greater good".
            How does achieve greater good? Some people who don't matter are silenced and some people can do a circlejerk and tell each other that they achieved something great. So what is this greater good you are talking about? Because I don't us Armenians getting justice because of this.




            You have a fixation with the words : retard,retarded........................not the best choice surely ??
            If you have a problem with it take it up with the moderation and let them decide if it is against the rules of the forum to use the word.
            Interesting that you say "You want to defeat the turcs" not WE. But you are definitely right that we shouldn't turn into them.
            Maybe because I am addressing him and his statement.

            I also wonder how long until laws like this will be used against Armenians?

            This law does more harm to Europe than Turks or Muslims ever could do. When we give up our freedoms what difference is there between us and them?
            This is good for THE VICTIMS and no i'm not into having all kinds of religious sect running in the streets and recruiting stupid people , cause stupid people will do and believe in such.
            How many of those victims are alive today? You aren't a victim neither am I nor anyone posting on this side is a victim. The same way I am not a victim because my great grandfather was send to the gulags.

            Now i got my own religion named the Flying Octopus and we like to spread lies do you want to join? We also believe that the 2012 is the end of the world so will do group suicides wanna join? What you say no ? well ok il go talk to some other folks cause i got the freedom to do so...
            To me this doesn't sound any different or ridiculous than any of the other religions. Prove me that your flying octopus exists and I will join. And you can recruit who ever you want, if someone is dumb enough to believe it to something like this they get what they deserve.

                That'll be limited to a keyboard then.


                What is the worth of a man that doesn't follow his own principles in life?
                What worth that man whose principles take his family to the grave?


                So you want us to be like them now? You want us to give up our freedoms because they don't have it? Two wrongs do not make a right!
                I would go even further than this law proposes to actually.

                If you have a problem with it take it up with the moderation and let them decide if it is against the rules of the forum to use the word.
                I don't have a problem with those words, they probably highlight your mentality.


                I also wonder how long until laws like this will be used against Armenians?
                hasn't that already happened?

                  This BS doesn't even deserve any answer!



                  What worth that man whose principles take his family to the grave?
                  So how will defending freedom of speech do this.


                  I would go even further than this law proposes to actually.
                  Basic human rights mean nothing to you? Or is it only when you are affected?

                  I don't have a problem with those words, they probably highlight your mentality.
                  Like I said before personal attacks only show the weakness of your "arguments" (if you even can call them that)


                  hasn't that already happened?
                  It has and now you are supporting the same thing. How does that make you any better them?




                  Totally totally disgusting.
                  Do you consider yourself a victim? The only people who can demand something like this are the victims of the genocide not us!
