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.

      Lucin-jan, I won't argue with a lady. But I'll ask you 4 questions under the theory you wrote:

      1. Under your best guess or information, are a fewer percentage of Armenian women in Iran involved in prostitution than women in Armenia?

      2. If 50% women of marrying age face this risk in Armenia (as in the news story says) and the "problem was with themselves" and they weren't "forced" -- why would they have those problems in Armenia and not Iran?

      3. If the problem is more in Armenia, is there a higher risk for Armenian women getting involved in something like that by moving to Armenia?

      4. Lastly, do you think there is a higher chance that Armenian women moving to the U.S. will end up in prostitution than if they move to Iran? Why? or Why not?
      The fact there are more Armenians in Armenia than in Iran will rise the number if you couldn't have guessed that. I love reading your source and how they pull up numbers out of their ass and don't even give their source, I love when journalists work like that. When moving to the West the chance gets smaller because there are other ways of earning money. What is your concern what Armenian women do or don't do? You have already shown that you are anti-Armenian and you keep on trolling this forum why?

        I'm on the fence here about this. Although I don't necessarily agree with the strict Muslim attire, I prefer it over seeing some large woman with her XXL thong exposed because it's "fashion". Perhaps if the West wasn't so keen on ruling the world through their systematic degradation of women, other countries wouldn't have to be so strict with their policies.

          So you think the attire that Muslim women have to wear is a response to the Western culture regarding women? Let me remind you the same Iranian women who forcibly cover themselves in Iran, when visiting Armenia they dress literally half naked and would even make people in a liberal Western city uncomfortable.

          It's not about forcing women what to wear, they should wear what they want, the important thing is how those women are raised, and if they are raised with appropriate values and in a good home, they will dress accordingly. Forcing women to wear a certain dress doesn't solve the problem. And yes, I don't want women in Armenia dressing half naked, however, in the end its up to their families to regulate that.

            There's no travel required: It's not illegal in Iran to have sex my friend. Iran does not want its women to end up in pornos, with a coke habit, and pregnant by six different men before she is 20, after being married 8 different times. Do me a favor: Google "crazy nude drunk girl" and ask yourself if you want that to be your daughter, mom or sister. But it gets worse: http://www.sodahead.com/fun/does-any...%2Bin%2Bbikini

            Wearing a scarf on your head is a big deal because women often complain a lot if there are *rules* about what they should wear (they are generally more sensitive to that issue). However, there are rules about clothing everywhere. I'm oppressed; the police won't let me fly on a plane with a ribbon tied around my weener and my boss says that my spandex business suit shows *too much ass.* You get the idea? There are rules everywhere about clothing - but somehow people have gotten brainwashed into thinking its their rules that make them free; and for some reason you are supposedly more *free* in the West when you put your female relatives at greater risk of sexual exploitation.

            BTW: Armenian women historically dressed the same as religious Iranian women. It only became *Muslim* clothing when you stopped wearing it.

            There are about 200 Armenian churches in Iran ... 1 mosque in Yerevan: Hypocrite country? ( I won't even go into the condition the mosque was kept in until Iran recently renovated it.)

              And women in Europe also covered their heads and dressed conservatively only a couple hundred years ago...

              So in your view, in order to make sure a women doesn't become a wh*re the government has to enact laws restricting their personal lives? That would just comes to show that Iranians are naturally promiscuous and without government control would become wh8res have as you said pregnant by six different men. No it's not about laws by some politicians, not at all, it's about the family of the women raising her right and her growing up with appropriate values. Having government regulate that is truly ridiculous.

                That just goes to show you that perhaps they need to be forced to dress in strict attire because they are incapable of good judgement It's like Catholic school, the more strict the rules, the more rebellious people will be.

                In regards to women, it's not only about appropriate values but also competition. If you were to take two exactly the same girls and dress one conservative and the other provocative, which one would you think would attract more men? There is a self esteem factor and women generally like to look attractive among their peers. The culture which is presented to the generations through popular media is also influencing judgement so the strict attire adds a barrier which protects both male and female outlooks on the world. When I go to a foreign country, I expect to see foreign culture. The Western or Americanized view of the world is one where you can get on a plane and go anywhere in the world and still fit in.

                    Traditionally, no hair is shown. Typically, Iranian society is rather lenient when it comes to that. So why do we have traditions at all? Why can't I wear shorts, t-shirt and flip flops to a wedding? I really don't understand why there is a need to mock other cultures and encourage them to be like us. They have their own ideas which works for them and makes them part of who they are. I would have to say that the average Iranian is more intelligent than the average American so why should we focus on making the whole world follow western standards unless our end goal is ignorance and careless stupidity?

                      It's not about having them follow Western Standards, but giving them the freedom of choice of personal decisions such as what to wear. Why should government have any say in what you wear? Who the hell is government to make that kind of decision for people?
