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.

    How it's done in Canada? What a dead Canadian, Turkish ambassador with only a broken leg, and 3 delusional fools that wasted significant parts of their lives rotting in prison. Incompetence and stupidity are two words that springs to mind.

      Sure. Idealism and selfsacrifice is out of limits of understanding for turk. For a turk to become a hero one must rape and kill women and children and never get panished for that.

      The result of the heroic act commited by this guys is the spit on face of turks by Canadian Parliament.

        Powerlessness against injustice of large magnitude will lead people to act in irrational ways. The palastinian situation is a good example of this. I do not blame the palastinians nor these armenian boys for acting like they did, they do it out of frustration. If the world wants things like this to stop then it should become more just. The death of the gaurd and imprisonment for the young men are tragdies which would have been avoided had there been justice. Give palastinians justice and they will no longer be terrorists-the same for our boys. I do not condone young people throwing their lives away nor hurting innocent people but i totally understand why they do what they did.

              In other words, missions objective accomplished because it helped spread the word. I think the military refer to this as 'collateral damage'.

              Collateral to the armenians maybe but not to the poor old security guard and his family.

                The guard did not deserve to die. Do we know for sure that they were not acting alone? I bet they were. Too slopy.

                  The key difference is that Palestinian violence is a manifestation of 'present day injustices' and Armenian violence is based on a 'historical injustice'. They are not the same thing ie direct v indirect. Though I'm sure many of you will disagree regardless because you have inherited the stories of injustice as if they were your own.

                    We have also inherited the psychological effects as they were passed down generation to generation.

                      They are very much our own! We would be doing a great disservice to our ancestors if we did not treat them as such. We cannot begin to comprehend how our lives have been effected by this event. They saw the violence and we see our homeland without us in it, they suffered the marches and we suffer assimilation. We are very much victims of this tragic genocide even if it doesnt feel like it. There is a difference between direct and indirect but that difference does not make it much less painful thus if you can justify the actions of a palastinian terrorist, then the actions of a armenian terrorist can be justified in a similar manner. What makes them more alike then anything else is the helplessness in the wake of a huge injustice.
