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.

    That is untrue.

    In fact, there is no conclusive evidence for either argument. All the evidence suggests that homosexuality is both genetic as well as environmentally influenced (which explains homosexuality in prisons).

    In fact, several years ago there was a study done by a USC sociologist tracking same-sex parents. The obvious motive of the study was of course political, in that it set out to prove that same-sex parenting is absolutely normal. The results, however, indicated that children of same-sex parents were on average far more likely to "experiment" with those of the same sex. Of course, this was played down and swept under the rug like all things.
    True homosexuality either genetic or prenatal. People can be made to do anything under extremely unusual stress, like prison, including but not limited to homosexual behavior. But I would bet that no more than ten percent -- the approximate percentage of homosexuals in a random population -- (but most likely less) of the prisoners would continue to desire homosexual contact after leaving prison, and that is because they are not homosexuals.

    If one has the ability to view a person of the same gender in a sexual manner under more or less normal circumstances that person has a genetic or prenatally developed component in their make-up that allows for it. There doesn't need to be scientific data to support it because it cannot be any other way. A heterosexual does not choose to be heterosexual and cannot choose to be homosexual. If someone desires homosexual activity they necessarily have that predisposition. Nobody chooses desires and it would take unusual stress to divert a person's natural desires.

    I don't see how experimentation plays a roll in the topic. Seems rather meaningless to me. Especially since there isn't a study that can show what the natural rate of experimentation would be among humans free of anti-gay societal pressures.

For a people who were victims of persecution through ignorance and intolerance, we sure seem to be ignorant and intolerant
      I think our first priority should be to marry another Armenian decent person. If someone of another race makes you happy go ahead.

      I heard this one weird thing that happened in my friends school(Glendale High School). This Armenian girl got caught giving a blow job to a black dude. The bad part is.. her dad was the first person to spot her. Lol

      And about the gay's, I wanna know why you guy's hate them. I have no problem with gay people, unless they try to touch me or stuff like that.

              Homosexuality occurs at a fixed percentage rate. It doesn't spread. So these cute, meaningless little equations can be disregarded. (Actually they can be disregarded simply for their origin; one needs nothing else, really.) Stupidity on the other hand can have grave consequences.

                And all the neo-liberals came out of the woodwork to spread their multi culturalist crap. Please do all of us a favor and stop calling yourselves "Armenian", and please don't ever go to Armenia because you will be in for a very rude awakening when natives hear what comes out of your pie holes.


                Race mixing, homosexuality is all genetic (nothing wrong with it), atheism. Wow, so this is what happens to a sizable chunk of 2nd-3rd generation Armenian-Americans, or the many boshas claiming to be Armenian in LA.
                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.

                  Man+Woman both non barren but just don't want kids?

                  anyways what if homosexuality is God or evolutions way to stop the world from over populating? I know he said be fruitful and multiply, but i don't think he meant to engulf the world, were approaching 7 billion only .4 billion away, i don't think we need to worry about extinction, human population used to be much, much lower and we were fine then too

                    why did God allow man to invent condoms? The view that God is the master of our lives and was literal about his intentions for humans in the Bible just doesn't hold.

                      Hate to bump this up, but the entire idea of tolerances is vile at best right now. In 50-100 years things will change adversely. All this liberal bashing is really funny considering none of the Armenians I've met are actually conservative. Libertarians at best. There are liberals who hate other races or people of different sexual orientation. There are religious people who don't mind gay people. The fine lines between everything have been blurred to the point where they've become indistinguishable to all.



                      Edit: Damn, I'm so sorry for bumping this thread. I only just saw this:
