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.

      70% of Armenian young people ready to leave Armenia
      17:56 / 01/28/2010


      A poll conducted by the Armenian office of the People in Need organization, (Czech Republic), in cooperation with the U.N. office in Armenia, showed that 70% of Armenian young people are ready to leave the country and settle down abroad, and only 18% consider it wrong.

      Ninety-six senior school students aged 14-16, 41 boys and 59 girls, were involved in the poll.

      88% of the respondents want to leave Armenia, and only 6% prefer remaining in the country. 58% of the respondents prefer European countries: 29.3% of them want to receive education there, 46.6% prefer traveling or going on holiday and 12.5% prefer working abroad.

      What a disappointment...

        I find it not surprising. I think in most of the poor countries in the world, especially if you ask the youth (who want to explore the world), people would state that they will be ready to leave their country.

        I think five years ago, 90% would want to leave Armenia, now it is 70%, after a couple of years 50%, hoping that Armenia will have a boost in economic growth, jobs and stability.

        Also the age of 14-16 years old is not totally representative (it also depends in which region they interviewed just a mere 100 children).

        (41 boys and 59 girls sum up to 100?, or maybe in their language that is the same as ninety-six)

          In the Netherlands, one of the richest countries in the world, they held a similar poll.
          Bijna de helft van nederlandse jongeren wil emigreren

          Van de Nederlandse jongeren wil 44 procent in de toekomst emigreren.
          Dat blijkt woensdag uit onderzoek van Interview/NSS in opdracht van Visie21, een burgerinitiatief dat werkt aan een langetermijnvisie voor Nederland. Voor het onderzoek zijn ruim zeshonderd jongeren ondervraagd.
          Link to the poll

          It states that about 44% of the Dutch youth wants to emigrate! This poll is conducted over more than 600 persons.

          Again, the poll in Armenia does not show anything, just how on average youth in all over the world think about emigration. Taking in factors of Armenian poverty, wars, eartquakes, this is not a surprise... nor bad.

            Everyone thinks the grass is greener on the other side. Even people in wealthy countries don't like the city they live in and try to move to a bigger city. This leads me to believe that people think there is more to life in other parts of the world when in reality, it's the same crap everywhere (Minus the extremely poor parts of the world of course)

              I agree, nobody is happy with what they have!

              However, I concern about Armenia because our population number is low, we face a high rate of emigration already, and we're talking about the youth, which is the supposed to be future of our country. What future awaits us with such youth? I know it happens all around the world, but Armenia doesn't need more people leaving.

                Only a better economic condition inside the country will change that. No one can blame those kids for seeking a better life-the trick is to create the situation in Armenia where they will have a better life without having to leave. The emmigration rate is horrid and it is killing our country but you cant blame people for looking for a better life if they feel they cant get it there. Should Armenia's economy grow then less people will leave and some will even return.

                  You're right, I don't blame them for trying to look for a better life. I just say it's worrying for our society and our country. I just hope that will change.

                    Immigration was far worse in the 90s. It has since leveled of and decreased, the birth rates has also increased, but obviously we can always use more people. The current economic recession hasn't helped our cause either.
                    For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                    to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.
