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.

          This is only in High School my dear. In reality...people just go about their business. If you dont offend anyone on purpose they wont step on your toes. Its matter of how you present yourself and your culture.

          In fact and lot of Hispanics and Blacks get along just fine...because they are both discriminated against by other majorities.

          By the way because Los Angeles has alot of diverse people we can say there arnt as many "racist" people as we think there are.

              That's good news, actually. Proves that even with their soldiers stomping all over the world, it's still the case that nobody hates Americans more than other Americans. Just look at how all Republicans loath all Democrats, and vice-versa.

                  I have heard about Armenians and Mexicans in LA not getting along. It seems to be pretty equal from both parties.

                  Where I live there arent really any Armenians, and especially Mexicans - Anglo-Saxon/Franc middle class suburbia in all its glory. People are always staring at me and asking me what my ethnicity is (and unsuccessfully guessing: Greek, Arabic, Italian). I always happily tell about Armenia, and Baku, and the Union, etc. They seem very interested and appreciative.

                  When I lived in Russia I felt a negative attitude towards Armenians big time. I absolutely hated kindergarden, because none of the kids wanted to play with me and called me "tsiganka" (female gypsy). When I was already in elementary school, we moved to a new building and the first time I went to the play ground there was only one girl there and we started talking. Lyuda was only a year older than me, and we became friends that same day. She invited me over to her house, and I went. The next time I saw her, she didn't even talk to me. With time she became like an enemy to me. She talked about me for no reason. If we were at the same party, she would try to start a fight. She hated that her friends liked me. I, of course, came to dislike her in return. Although I never understood why she didnt like me, I even got myself to forget that we were friends at first. It never even occured to me that she may have been discriminating. It wasnt until I was a teenager in the US and thinking about these things that I remembered hearing her mother saying something about one of the other girls skin being "dark enough" or realized that she only disliked me after I visited her house and her mother saw me. This girl was my biggest "enemy" throughout elementary after she was the first in the building to become my friend. A lot of Russians feel this way about Armenians as I came to realize. I can't believe all the crap I put up with as a child without even knowing how I became a target; my father was forced to quit working on his PhD in Moscow, because it was too dangerous; an ex of mine had a knife held to his neck in Russia - all for being Armenian. The way I see it - this is a relatively good country to be Armenian. All the Americans I talk to see how proud I am of my heritage, and they respect that.

                    The whole Armenian and Hispanic thing only includes those uneducated, ignorant, loser Armenians and Hispanics. The one's you typically find in high school. The civilized type get along just fine.

                      Ignorant people don't like things that are different then they are. I have lived in the US most of my life, people will treat you fine until you open your mouth and say something in another language. Then, on the other hand there are people who appreciate language and culture. Just remember, stick to what God gave us and we will be fine.
