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.

    I have met several Armenians who have spent most of their lives in foreign countries. They all display the same sort of liberal values as you do, and brag about how they visit Armenia all the time; however, their lives are not in Armenia. It's only fair for me to draw the similarities.

    I remember some time ago I dissected Haykakan's post that was full of tactics feminist use when arguing. The above quote is a very good example.
    Have a read: If one cannot argue then he/she simply attempts to discredit the other person, paint him/her as a crazy, lunatic, whom no one takes seriously. After all if that person is discredited, then his/her arguments will not need to be countered. All feminists (and most western women) argue in this fashion.

    Wow, are you trying to be satirical? Is this your great idea about how to try to discredit me by attempting say something ridicilous and at the same time encourage the readers to make the connection that what I write and you wrote (as a joke) are similar in origin? Hence, I shouldn't be taken seriously and so you won't need to counter any of my arguments.

    Wow, rather suddle, but a clear example of the feminazi style of argument. You must have had some great teachers in your "women's studies" course.

Seriously, I would suggest you to visit a psychologist because this is becoming scary.
    Wow, again? This one wasn't so discreet.

    Damn, now that's an amateur mistake. Most feminazis stop using this one early on. Trying to establish that I'm too young to know anything, and hence there is no need for the continuation of the argument as you are correct due to seniority. And here I was thinking you had more schooling than that.

    Yes I have, and I am well aware of how profitable the education business is, but please, before you try to discredit me, do try to make yourself a bit more credible and let me know what are those hundreds of little things needed for a specialized school (though I doubt how you'd do that since you seem confused about what "specialized" is)

    Originally posted by Tigranakert View Post

    If you read my posts, maybe you caught the part where I mentioned that I went to Phys-Math, which is a magnet high school that pay special attention to math and sciences (In fact most medalists who have represented Armenia in the International Mathematics Olympiad have come from Phys-Math).
    I have made my calculations based on the costs of Phys-Math which in fact houses around 600 students, provides on site housing for around 100 students and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner for all students (all free of charge, of course).

    The schools annual budget was around $250,000 when I was there 10 years ago. Currently, the costs are higher at around $350,000 per year. I think $250,000 is a fair estimate assuming the schools house 300-400 students.

    No way. You actually couldn't hold yourself back. Your entire post was full of insults and cheap attempts to discredit me, and you are asking me to post something serious. Damn, talk about arrogance.

                Nobody wants to go back to the Soviet days that you have to learn a foreign language (Russian) to get a good job. If I lived in Armenia I would demonstrate against this as well. The money can be spent on better things like Levon has pointed out.

                Also why does the government pass a law right in the middle of all this causing all kinds of problems and grief and then claim it is not connected.........and then you have this investor threatening to take his business somewhere using scare tactics, that is not cool.

                    You cannot post proper responses, so you resort to name calling. That's great.
                    Says who? A few posts ago you called (quote) ''.......You really are an idiot.'' Haykakan an idiot. Again, you show can not be taken seriously, as you don't even see your wrongs, but as you are not mentally 100%, you will write some other story to defend this.

                    I have met several Armenians who have spent most of their lives in foreign countries. They all display the same sort of liberal values as you do, and brag about how they visit Armenia all the time; however, their lives are not in Armenia. It's only fair for me to draw the similarities.
                    I have met several Armenians who have spent most of their lives in Armenia, and guess what, they are fiercly anti-Armenians, display nothing of Armenian culture and have turned their backs towards Armenia, so? What you are doing here is very dangerous, but it's your own life, I will never make a difference between Armenians who live in Armenia and Armenians who live outside of Armenia (my definition of Armenian is also probably something else as yours).
                    I remember some time ago I dissected Haykakan's post that was full of tactics feminist use when arguing. The above quote is a very good example.
                    Have a read: [I]If one cannot argue then he/she simply attempts to discredit the other person, paint him/her as a crazy, lunatic, whom no one takes seriously. After all if that person is discredited, then his/her arguments will not need to be countered. All feminists (and most western women) argue in this fashion.
                    This is getting boring, when you are wrong or you can't say anything, you come up with the feminist story. Try something new because this doesn't work.

                    Aha, tesnum em vor uzum es yes ko het hayeren xosam?

                    Ara debil gjada, du vochmi ban el ches haskanum. I am not saying Diaspora Armenians are holy, because in my opinion there are a small number of Armenians as I do not like to call all of them Armenians (in short, those who see Armenia as their motherland, who raise their children using Armenian, who will do everything so Armenia will progress and who'se eventuel goal is to repatriate to Armenia etc...). As with that, there are enough Armenians in Armenia who do more harm to our republic than good. What you talk about is just nonsense, because the discussion is not even about this subject. You are just generalizing everything, just like this project which you know for sure it is for ''profits'', again hallucinating.

                    I would bet you would not come as close as we did and a lot of other Diaspora Armenians, for for 400 years we have maintained our Armenian heritage (language, culture, customs) in a foreign country, which is the ultimate proof. You have too high esteem and must understand Armenia is not your country, it is the country of all Armenians, be it Armenians in the Spyurk or Armenians who live in Armenia, you must accept that. Du es et himar txen wor vochmi ban chi haskanum, du et hetamnacac hayerices wor karcumen shat xelaci baic stic durs en talis ameninch. Mexk es, urish ban chem karox asem.

                    Wow, rather suddle, but a clear example of the feminazi style of argument. You must have had some great teachers in your "women's studies" course.
                    Again? Come up with something else, as you proved you really hallucinate and just come up with new stories whenever your ''arguments'' are proven wrong. It's easy, first you said it's only for profit, then I showed you they stated that the commission is made of succesful Armenians and non-Armenians who will lead the operation, but you ignore that and you prefer to believe the negative side, that it's still only for the profit instead of being optimistic and give it a chance. Are you happy with yourself?


                    You're getting a little predictable now, this is at least the third time you have so far use the feminazi tactic of "discredit with lies so there is no need to counter an argument"
                    Who is getting predictable, just as you accused me of using the word ''lunatic'', you did the same thing. And now again, it is the other way around, you are using the feminist hallucination story, which I don't bother.

                    Damn, now that's an amateur mistake. Most feminazis stop using this one early on. Trying to establish that I'm too young to know anything, and hence there is no need for the continuation of the argument as you are correct due to seniority. And here I was thinking you had more schooling than that.
                    Hahaha, why don't you write a book for the mentally ill?

                    Again, the discussion is not what he could do with 60 million, because it is not for us to decide what others must do with their money. If you are so concerned, go and criticize the rich Armenians in Armenia who put their money on the banks instead of making ''specialized'' schools. The discussion is about this one project, also not about other low-quality Russian schools. You have not come up with one argument but just merely assumptions and made up ''stories''.

                    Philanthropy? Let's see. 600 students total, out of which 400 will be foreign and 200 Armenian. Of the 200 Armenian students 80% will get a free-ride, so 20% or 40 students will pay full price. This means a total of 440 students will pay full tuition which will amount to $4.4 million per year in tuition fees. Considering they would want 10 students per class, then they will need around 60 teachers. Being generous, lets say each teacher would get $12,000 per year, for a total of $720,000 per year in teaching costs. One can rack up another $280,000 in administrative and other costs, for a total of $1,000,000 leaving $3.4 million in total profit. Let's see, total revenue $4.4 million, total profit at $3.4 million. I believe that makes it a 77% profit margin.

                    As a reference, microsoft, which is one of the most profitable companies in the world has around the same profit to revenue ration. This, of course, makes the entire school project a VERY profitable business venture. That, my friend, cannot be considered Philanthropy. Even if total profit is brought down to $1.0 million leaving $3.4 million in costs, that would still be around 20% profit, same as HP.

                    That's your definition of philanthropy I suppose.
                    Thank you for proving you can not make the simplest calculation. I am not saying (in contrary to you) I can do it, because it is far too complicated, but I can say you are wrong (as you most of the time are).

                    First fault, 60% of the total students will study under scholarships, and 80% of the Armenian student will study under scholarships, which means everyone will eventually pay 10,000 dollars. It means the total budget of the school will be 6 million a year.

                    The teaching staff will comprimise out of foreign highly-educated teachers and local teachers. Foreign teachers will not work for less than 30,000 dollars per year in Armenia. The costs of the teachers only will at least be 1 million dollars a year. The cost of all the other jobs (cleaners, administrative jobs, external) and maintenance of all the buildings, approximately 1 million dollars.

                    Around 4 million dollars will remain (which, ofcourse is not correct because it's impossible to calculate these costs, but for you, hallucination Levon, we will try).

                    Second big fault, it is a boarding school (you haven't even read the basics about the school yet you claim to know so much about it?). This means the 600 students AND teachers will live on campus, and ALL their living expenses, food, shelter, sport, recreativity, book, and others will be paid by their school. At a minimum, this will cost around 6000 dollars per year for a student (actually, Armenia is fairly expensive compared to let's say Thailand).

                    This means, 6000 x 600 = 3,6 million dollars for the students, and for the staff at least 400,000 dollars (accomodation, food, etc).

                    Wow, 4 million + 1 million + 1 million, is around 6 million! There is no room for profit... and if so, if he would make 1 million profit a year, it would take 60 YEARS for this billionaire to make his investment back not even making profit, he would be dead by then wouldn't he? And do you understand, he is a billionaire? He could do far more profitable projects with his precious time than to start a boarding school in Armenia.

                    Pessimism, negativism, hallucination and made up stories are the words which fit you best, Levon. You should join the HAK (ANC) as their whole ideology is based upon these words.

                      Can't stop but thinking how you would have reacted if I would have posted years ago a message bout Ralph Yerikian and praising him he choose to come and work in Armenia (a Diasporan Armenian). You would have probably stated he came just for the profit (even though he could have earned more in some other country, he has stated that himself in an interview). You would say he is not a real Armenian, because he is raised in another country and his heart, sould and mind does not think ''Armenian''. Also, he would not have taken care of the pativ@ of his wive, compared to the holy Armenians in Armenia.

                      Yet he came, had a great influence on Armenia as a whole (economically, culturally). I just want to say, never again think you can state who is a ''real'' Armenian, or who would be helpful for the Armenian nation (economically, culturally) and who would not.
