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.

    I never stated that thousands have not been slaughtered today. I stated that many, many thousands more will be slaughtered if the West strikes Iran, which will not be comparable to the number of deaths the US has now. You are smart enough to get the logic, don't try to fool yourself.

      So, by your "smart" logic, the tens of thousands of casualties America has suffered in Iraq has been enough to force them out of Iraq - but the prospect of America having equal (or even more) casualties in Iran is not going to be enough to prevent America having an "upcoming war against Iran". The only people who ply this rubbish are the Iranian Islamists who think they can, by playing the "America is the bogeyman" card, scare the Iranian population into living under their tyrany for another generation, and the Zionists who think they can, by playing the "Iran is the bogeyman" card, scare the American public into supporting Israeli tyrany for another generation.

        Have you been asleep for the past two weeks or are you really as dense as many here think? Hawks in the US have been using the bs news of an Iranian assassination plot to drum up action against Iran. And the American public is notoriously easy to lead into war. One thing slightly different now is the OWS protests which are a new X factor for policy makers in Washington to take into account before they decide their course of action toward Iran.
        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.

          Are you even reading my posts? The few thousand (5000) American casualties in a timespan of ten years are peanuts, compared to the damage Iran is capable to do during a possible future war (speaking in terms of tends of thousands of casualties in just a year). It's logical they can't use this, and thus will be concentrating on Iran from far away, trying to paralyze Iran by air. Iran is not a small country, and is probably one of the most important countries in the world in geopolitical terms. America has been carefully planning this step by step and is coming closer and closer to Iran... let's see what happens in Syria the coming months, the last country which has to fall before striking a final blow to Iran.

            Maybe you are an expert on fools (takes one to, etc.), and khaki-clad fools and their lives (or arms, or legs) are easily separated - but after a decade of pointless war and increasing casualties, even khaki-clad American fools are not that stupid. And maybe the more foolish section of American politicians are slaves to vested interests and extremist groupings, but enough of the more intelligent ones are starting to realise that they all risk heading towards extinction unless they start addressing the grievances of the ignored majority, which the "occupy" protests are a part of. They may be uncertain about what they do want, but the one thing the ignored majority do not want is a new war.

              Don't you know the military definition of a "casualty"? It includes the dead and those injured to the extent that they can no longer be considered combatants. The US military trys to keep silent about the number of casualties it has suffered - but it is in the tens of thousands, perhaps as high as 100,000.

                Maybe they are trying to keep silent, but the cat has always been out of the bag (check the table on the right side): http://icasualties.org/Iraq/USCasualtiesByState.aspx

                  Unlike you I have an understanding of geopolitics and psy-ops, and again, unlike you I know the mentality of Americans. Sitting in your mother's basement somewhere in Scotland is not the best place to be in order to understand the American mind.

                    Based on your sig, it's more likely that you are the one in the dark basement, crouched around the runic alphabet you have scratched on the concrete floor, with plastic sculls and reproduction Nazi insignia decorating the dingy walls.

                      I must have hit a nerve since you replied so quickly. Whatever makes you feel better about your pathetic existence.
