Re: Fascistic or Religious Extremist Organisations Operating Inside Armenia
Those self proclaimed nationalists make me chuckle. Trying to control peoples lives, such a silly idea. Who cares if someone is gay or straight or asexual? If it actually bothers you that much then dont be one. As far as the Law goes, why should anybody save for those who cant help themselves get special treatment? All citizens deserve equal treatment regardless of who or what they are.

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.

There are certainly Muslims and people "living in proximity" to Muslims that do not behave in this way. Let's confront these issues head-on and stop making excuses and broad generalizations.

[QUOTE=Haykakan;338058]Originally posted by Artashes View PostWow,that shows me how little contact I've had with any Armenians of any gender.
All the women in my family were shown complete and total respect by the men in my family and all people's I saw them come into contact with(not to mention us kids, for sure).
And I can remember several reasons(easily) for that.
(1)they were all very intelligent,(2)the way they carried themselves seemed to command respect,and (3)they wouldn't tolerate any less ,oh and(4)they would crush you with wonderful grace,reason, extremely swift wit and wisdom as well as enough venom to kill several whales.
Also every desired and sought and valued their input, both inside and outside the family and they had the ability to withhold that if ones conduct was not up to snuff.
I'm not familiar with the ?modern?russian(thug)influenced Armenian man though.
Thug & bigot seem similar in the Russian influence thing to me.

Nah its the influence of the region which is predomenently muslim. Just listen to the likes of Gegev and Mos and you can clearly see how their attitudes resembles the culture they claim to detest. Living in proximity to the islamic world has rubbed off on armenians a number of ways and this is one example.
For 70 yrs there was no official structure or system in transfering traditional family values in people. Just like in everything the traditional relations between men and women were destroyed.
In the case of gey rights, I am happy that population in Armenia is behaving like a living organism, and as such, protesting and defending against any artificial infusions in it's body. I don't care if gey rights are accepted or not. As long as they are not financed and forced upon us. Everything must follow natural national identity restoration processes.

My comment about Russian influence on the contemporary Armenian was me expressing my lack of knowledge of both the conduct of men in Armenia and what I thought was Siggie's generalization.
Sorry Sig your experience with Armenian men sucks. Clearly you've met none of my family.

Indeed. We should continue to talk exclusively about a nearly century year old genocide
to the exclusion of present day human rights issues within the country.
Becuase some of us "chivalrous" want to know!
