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.

    Re: Tolerance in Armenia

    Wow Armsurvival, I'm suprised to see such comments to come from you. homosexuality inho is genetics and environment, but to say it is one or the other for sure like you did is absurd. There is still no conclusive scientific evidence to disprove either theory.

    As for the orphan, there are plenty of people who can not have kids either and they should be the ones to adopt, not homos.

    homosexuality is unnatural and unGodly. Humans like all creatures are meant to procreate and being gay obviously opposes that goal.

    homosexuality may not be a national security threat but it certainly is a social threat, and I do not think any Armenian nationalist so be "ok" with it.

    Re: Tolerance in Armenia

    Genes + Brain Wiring + Prenatal Hormonal Environment = Temperament
    Parents + Peers + Experiences = Environment
    Temperament + Environment = Homosexual Orientation

    just found that on http://www.narth.com/ more info there

    Re: Tolerance in Armenia

    a permenant roof over the kid's head is undoubtably the most important thing in this issue, what i said was secondary but still important.

    that's a big topic and alot of people still don't believe it's genetic including many scientists, these studies were mainly issued by the lgbt community as propaganda to justify their behaviour.

    this is a big argument and im not a scientist so not qualified to go into it

    is a same-sex enviroment healthy for the kids psychology? will it make the kid want to/encourage the kid to be homosexual thus wasting more life?
    Like ArmSurvival said sexuality is not environmentally influenced - it's genetic. In America, the states that allow homosexuals adopt have proven that there is no link between the sexuality of the parents and the sexuality of the adpotees.

    Look at it this way: does being brought up in a heterosexual household determine whether one will be heterosexual or not? Of course not.

    And even if it did mean that the kid would turn out gay, would this be worse than having the kid travel from orphanage to orphange, foster home to foster home, or at worse living on the streets? I would hope that you would opt for the kid to be in a homosexual household.

    Just a quick comment about the gay thing:

    Even in societies where gays are free to be open, their population never exceeds a few percent. Being gay is not a choice -- its genetics. If you "chose" to be straight, then you're wierd and should probably get some psychological counseling. Only someone who is unsure of their sexual orientation would assume that having gays in society would turn other people into gays. Thats not how it works, and we know better, we're not 10 years old here.

    Plus, gays are useful for adopting children and giving them a chance at an education and to get somewhere in life. Especially in Armenia where there are lots of orphans, a few gays wouldn't hurt.

    I don't care about whether they can have parades and all that crap -- you can still keep those things illegal. But what you do in your own home, and the relationships you choose to have, is your business. You won't see me preaching that cigarettes should be illegal, even though they kill tons of people a year and make the country's medical spending a lot higher than it should be. And thats money we can use on building infrastructure, military, etc. Not to mention that if everyone saves their cigarette money, it will be easier to send their kids to school and build a better society in general.

    But oh, these evil gays with their anal sex... now thats a national security threat.
    I agree 100% with your post. I think it's especially cruel to let orphans stay orphans because the majority thinks homosexuality is "wrong". Tell that to the kid without any parents, support, food, etc.

I helped get all the Armenians and neighbors in my community to actually call their congressmen to vote for the genocide resolution when it was up last and actually got 2 in our area, i only brought up my cousins to say that the culture doesn't always get lost and that even if it doesn't their are still semi Armenians who do more the "full blooded armenians." Carla Garapedian who directed screamers doesn't even speak armenian, for example
    Is pushing for the genocide resolution the only thing diasporans should concern themselves with, in your opinion?

    As for you cousins, to tell you the truth I don't believe a word of what you said, but either way it doesn't matter, what does is for you to actually work to better Armenia in any way that you can, especially if you half Armenian cousins are doing more than you. That alone says more about you than your cousins.
