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.

Do crimes like this increase the stereotype on Armenians?

Crimes like this happen almost everyday. I mean, yea.... what a low life to do that to the woman and stalk her like a loser, but the fact of the matter is......this stalking thing shouldn't even be considered big news, because its only one case out of many in the U.S. The only reason we notice it is because we're being critical of our own race (which there is nothing wrong with). However, the more we keep it on a downlow and not spread the news to everyone like crazy, the less non-Armenian people notice. If a non-Armenian brings it up to you, all you have to do is say that what happened was wrong and that you don't agree with it, but that cases like this happen often across the U.S.
Sometimes it's our responsibility to not always downtalk on the actions that occur from our race so that stereotypical views are not generated amongst non-Armenians.

Did you guys hear about the Latino Chief of deputy officer in Montebello that offered and sexually assaulted 3 women 3 weeks ago for giving them the job and offering forcibly to sleep with him? And when they denied behind those closed doors, he threatened them and he is currently now being sued by the other 2 women who pressed charges with all bruises and from the battering.
Well, it just so happens that ONE of the women who were applying for the job as an officer is an Armenian woman and she refused to literally seek help out for herself. Basically, all 3 women one of whom is Armenian were sexually assault by this illegal cad and he tried to get away with this for 30 years and yet still the Armenian woman didnt seem to care to press charges for her safety and will. So that is right, an Armenian woman was a victim of a very deep crime and she refused to do anything afterwards about it, all because "she wanted to get the job" and frankly I see that she did, and it BLEW .When the World Wide Web was born, things were quite simple.

We have to teach the youth respect for themselves and the power of the community!
Armenians are in the same critical situation as the Russians...we are absolutely loosing all the credibility we had in the soviet union...and you know, it is those jackarse Hayastanci (i am one too, so keep your insults to a minimum).
Out of all the Armenians, the stancis are the jerks and so happen to be the major source of the problem in the disapora!

It's the same thing with Blacks, you take a group of people that never had anything.. give them a little and they'll go wild with it because they're afraid it's gonna rot if they don't use it. It's not a Hyastansi thing really.. anyone who's raised in poverty then moves here would be like that."All I know is I'm not a Marxist." -Karl Marx
