Re: Las Vegas Shooting of Armenain Girl and Mom
I agree that a few can impact our image, but I think you're both taking an overly pessimistic view.
It is not only diasporan Armenians that display jealous and a tendency toward violence. Let's not even get started with the domestic abuse issues in Armenia please.
Southern California has lots of great Armenians. The AP idiots are by no means representative of the entire diaspora population in the region.
Iranian women do the same kind of stuff (I don't know any Georgians). In every group there are going to be some who assimilate quickly or are just "bad seeds" (for lack of a better term). But instead of seeking to set ourselves apart from these individuals perhaps we should try to extend ourselves to them when we have the opportunity in order to bring them back into the Armenian fold.

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.

Does AP and the idiots who joined that gang come to mind for anyone?
It's just takes several dumb putankas to ruin a whole ethnic group's image. And for a small group like us Armenians it is disastorous, if this continues there will be no Armenians left very soon.

Re: Las Vegas Shooting of Armenain Girl and Mom
Not sure this is noteworthy news...
C'mon guys... Yes, it's better for Armenia if Armenians marry and have children with other Armenians, but we don't know anything about this girl or her situation other than she chose a guy who was mentally unstable. To say that she was a good for nothing b-oz is absurd and only demonstrates your own ignorance. Idiots are idiots regardless of ethnicity. This happens and has happened in Armenian families as well (for example, this and also, this).
Mos, clean up your language.

Re: Las Vegas Shooting of Armenain Girl and Mom
I have to admit she kind of deserved it because she betrayed her family and nation by marrying this piece of xxxx american guy. She was a real b-oz and nothing good was going to come out of her, only harm to the Armenian nation.
Doesn't anybody notice how when people immigrate to US many become prostitutes or just become bi-tches, I've noticed this in a considerable amount of Armenian women. I mean where is the honor or respect. Just f-ucking shameful. Damn American culture, lav@ kunem.
