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.

    Call my marriage what you want. Only God can decide how long it will last, and I'll just continue his bidding.

    You obviously know more about everything than anyone here, or you so assert.

    If you have no problem saying all that to my face, then come and do so, before that please refrain from insults. And I btw, I only take insult when you call me a racist, sexist is fine.
    You obviously feel comfortable with displaying your sexist beliefs and that speaks volumes about the person you are. Everyone has the right to think anyways they want but the line is drawn when the thoughts turn to action and effect other people.

      Again, so how is it that corporations and people who don't serve can own land then? By your logic this is impossible, yet they do... So, your premises are wrong.

      So, women who are the providers are "acting like men"? And men who don't get drafted off to war are not men? Have I got that right?
      And you wonder why people can't understand what you're saying?
      .

      Actually, during WWII while the men went to battle, the women had to take over the auto plants back home in Detroit. This is what actually brought many women into the work force.

        and now you're saying


        So there.



        I stated that there was social inequality between men and women in Aztec, Mayan and Olmec societies (in saying that men considered women their subordinates). You presented an article that more or less stated "There was social inequality between men and women, in light of some equality in the eyes of the law". It affirmed my position, so I'm not sure why you keep arguing when we both agree on the statement I posted



        I'm not sure which documents you are talking about, but please do point me to sources that you consider more genuine, as I like Meso-American history in general.
        Because you like sexist laws, we never had them, just because society viewed one thing doesn't mean the law made by learned men was the same because some ignorant fool thought one way.

        WE never called ourselves Aztec as an Empire, as tribal refugees WE called ourselves Aztecs, as an empire we called ourselves MEXICA, hence why it's called Mexico. I explained it to you now several times and even taught you some of my language, I hope you get it now.

        Codices are the early documents the Spaniards wrote when observing Mexica society, my point with all this is there was no Gender Devision of Labour, hence what you are suggesting is alien to our civilization, to yours and to society in general, much of the labour you praise was done by women to before the birth of the Industrial Revolution, Capital and Lex Germanicus

          And this is relevant/important how? Oh DreDre... as I end up telling you again and again tie it in please.

          Are you saying that if this didn't happen, women still wouldn't be in the workforce? That in a way they did help with the war? Something entirely different?

            You were telling Levon that everything he says is about war and it is. You live in a country that is constantly in a state of war (for being a superpower) but you don't see or feel an ounce of it. You aren't taxed for it because China is essentially funding the entire US military. You also may not be exposed to its damaging effect on the entire economy because again, you aren't supporting a family.

            Women weren't in the workforce because there weren't jobs for them. Men made enough salary to provide for the household so the role of women at the time was to increase the population. When the U.S. entered World War II, women worked in the plants to produce jeeps/military vehicles for the war effort. This is what brought many women into the work force. Obviously, some men died so the women became providers for the family.

            As far as corporations who don't serve owning land... they are owned by wealthy people who don't have to answer to anyone and will always have others fighting their wars for them whether it be men, women or children... they couldn't care less.

              I'm happy, you didn't call me racist this time. Finally you understand.

                I'm sorry, I never said that explicitly or implicitly. My arguments have been from a social point of view. Where you got that statement is a mystery to me, perhaps a product of your imagination?

                You called yourself something, academics call you something else, and you're making an argument with my based entirely on that distinction. whatever...

                And which labor might that be? You mean being a provider and dying at war are concepts alien to your civilization, to mine and to society in general? Really?

                      I explained myself how many times, and most historians don't call us that, ignorant people watching Indiana damn Jones do, I suggest consultign a Codex or not to waste my time.

                      Labour = work done in production to benefit society or trade.

                      My point is women were often in all societies allowed to work and even participate in the military this changed with Capitalism, have you heard of the putter out system or not?

                      You wanted to point out that societies laws that are sexist are neccessary for empires to exist and evolve, I proved to you laws can exist contradictory to that and the empire will succeed, hence I call bullxxxx.

                      Ultimately I feel like facepalming because clearly you don't read my posts properly.
