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.

    Overall, a well written article. However, it lacks sociopolitical insight and balance. These modern *socialists* are nothing but Communist leftovers.

    Socialism can only be successful if it is allowed to naturally evolve out of Capitalism. You can't impose Socialism, I thought we had made that mistake once before. Today, the only place where socialism has been successful is western and northern Europe, everywhere else, its a failure. Even the Chinese, who altogether are another story, have realized this much. Armenia is hurting today because new nation's go through growing pains. Moreover, our problems are compounded because we are surrounded by primitive nations who don't understand civilized concepts.

    Nonetheless, I would like to see Armenia one day balance Capitalism with Socialism, much like America has done. Because too much of any one thing is not good for your health.

      I always thought America was pretty much a pure capitalism (look at the healthcare and education). I think Scandenavian countries have a much better marriage of free market where it can work and government ownership where it counts (quality of life services).

        Only in outwards appearence is America a purely Capitalistic nation. Look at the various social agencies, social security, unions, welfare ect. Also take into consideration the heavy governmental regulation of the industry within the states. No Amercia is not a a pure Capitalistic nation. As a matter of fact, I don't think there are any left today.

        Of course, America pales in comparrison to Scandenavian nations within the realm of socialism. However, socialism evolved naturally within the region is question. Moreover, they already had a high living standard, thus, socialism helped maintain it. In the case of Armenia: Yes, communism helped build a nation that had fallen into a thousand years of utter dispair. Now, however, for us to partake in the global economy we need some capitalism.

        Strict forms of Socialism is only going to stall our economic potential and momentum. And when that happens, you will become just like your backward neighbors. I don't know why we Armenians always have the tendency of comparing our nation with *Scandenavia,* or even Jews for that matter. Every region in the world, every nation, is unique and, thus, should be treated as such.

          Socialism is the bankrupt ideology of collectivism and re distribution of wealth. 70 plus years of Socialist bliss is the reason why the Caucus and Armenia in particular is in shambles today. It will take a while before recovering from the corosive effects of socialist nonsense.
