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.

    Guys I have some serious questions. Now some of my questions might be because I am young and/or I do not have enough knowledge of the geopolitics of Armenia, but it seems difficult for me to understand how you guys attack Bell for stating things that seem common knowledge and common sense to everyone I have ever spoken to. So please, explain your point of view, and let me know what, if anything, I am missing here.

    You say that Putin is a strong leader, that the corruption in Russia is because of capitalism, that is comes with capitalism. That however seems insane to me, considering its not that it simply comes with capitalism. Capitalism works fine everywhere else in the world, and corruption is not nearly to the level that it is in Russia and in Armenia. Yes corruption still exists, but to reasonable extends. The free market system is a proven superior system of economics that was promoted by Adam Smith as a means to fight monopolies and oligarchies. Furthermore, it is not like Putin is out there fighting corruption, making it a central part of his policy. If anything, he is fine with it and allows it to flourish. According to Transparency International, Russia is ranked 154th in the world in terms of Corruption. This ranking got worse under Putin. You say that he is a strong leader. However, does that include ending democracy or taking away basic rights. Does being a strong leader, being a "true leader: include denying people basic rights, by controlling the media, by allowing little opposition?

    You guys says that he is going to lead Russia to prosperity, that Russia is on the rise. However, the data says otherwise. The population of Russia is expended to dwindle down to 100 million by 2050, the average life expectancy for a male right now is merely 62. These are not facts that show any optimism for the future.

    There is often criticism on this forum of Georgia, and their western system. But the fact is that corruption in Georgia is much less significant than in Armenia. In recent years, in Georgia the the business environment has steadily improved, and corruption has steadily decreased, while things have moved in the opposite direction for Armenia who is following the Russian system.

    So this leads me to wonder how am I wrong here? What am I missing?
    How is Bell being a "hater" or anti-armenian by stating things that are simply facts
    Yes Armenia needs Russian military support right now, but that doesnt mean it should simply roll over for Russia and allow the same corrupt and doomed system to take over Armenia. Just because they are good to Armenia right now, doesnt mean we have to accept and respect everything about Russia or its leadership. Just because they help us right now, does not mean that in 5 years they would not stab Armenia in the back if it proves strategically worthwhile to them.

    Eddo!

    We should make Zeplins! Cheap air travel till the day we get our dzov! Air travel is expensive but our only true independent route! We should get together with Russians and Germans as they have a join venture in this regard and make Armenian Zeplins! Too bad my English Armenians is so bad that I have to speak English to make all the Armo's understand what I am saying!
