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.

Anyway he described those Uzbeks eating yellow rice drenched in some kind of oil and eaten with their hands. My uncle seemed to pay no mind to it and enjoyed his meal just fine, while my dad just tried to keep himself from vomiting.

    Anyway, the whole scene everywhere in these areas are extremely dirty, filthy, and unclean and to these people its natural. Their kids pick up fecal matter in the streets and stick them in their mouths.

      Well Indians eat with their hands too, what do you think about that?

      Obviously it is a cultural thing but turks and their cousins take it to a whole other level with the fecies.
      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.

          Well, I'm not surprised. The dirtiness and careless attitude towards hygiene habits is very common amongst Central Asians as well as Gypsies and Semites. And then they brag about their so-called "hamam"...
          And 'kids' are anything in their eyes but kids. They are just abandoned and basically grow up by themselves. They are being treated like adults, have no real 'childhood', and receive 'no' real affection.

            Well, I don't know about this assessment of all Asians and Semites are like this. Sounds like it may be a Muslim thing, at least in part. xxxish laws demand very high standards of ceremonial cleanliness (e.g. no blood, no pork (trichinosis), ritual ablutions, no sex during menstruation, etc.) and xxxs are Semites. I can't speak about Chinese, but it was not my impression that they were particularly uncleanly at all.

            Muslims consider the ceremonial cleanliness of wiping their butt with a wet piece of paper once (so Allah listens to their prayers) to be more important than actually wiping themselves well and washing their hands.

            Also, in many parts of the Muslim world, it is an insult to give someone something with your left hand, as it is believed that the left hand is dirty because it is used for washing the bottom. This is something I wonder at, since if you wash the hands well, they should be equally clean.

              and xxxs are Semites
              the hebrews were semites, the j**s now are no more related to the hebrews than the Italians are to the Romans.

                While that may or may not be the case, the religious laws I mentioned were obeyed in 1400 B.C. by Hebrews, who were definitely Semites. Also, if you read the book of Exodus of the Bible, you will see that Egyptians were so cleanly they looked down on Hebrews as dirty shepherd people and refused to eat with them. So, by no means were Middle Eastern practices historically unhygeneic (relatively speaking, of course). In the Indian cities of Mohenjo-Daro and Harappa in the Indus River valley in modern Pakistan (1500 - 2000 B.C.), all the cities had sewage systems in place.

                As I said before, perhaps its a Muslim thing. Do Copts, Assyrians and other Middle Eastern non-Muslims have equally unhygeneic practices? My suspicion would be that they are likely cleaner.

                  Armanen, he is not going to be in tuned to what you are saying. Although Merv is Serbian by ethnicity, he is protestant by faith. Protestants are essentially Jews - for Jesus. I hope Merv does not take offense to what I just said. Nonetheless, Biblical Hebrews were most probably descents of Anatolian Hubaru and Hurri tribes. This fact is attested to by early Hebrew sacred folklore placing their ethno-genesis more-or-less in the Armenian Highlands. Modern Jews are not direct descendants of the ancient Hebrews.

                    I am aware of that, and I think it is ironic how the people living in those lands 3000 years later are less hygenic.

                      Interesting point. Actually, some Jews do look like Armenians, in my opinion. So, could this (what you mentioned above) possibly be a reason why some Jews look like Armenians???
