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.

    "How about the Armenians in the West that portray themselves as white trash Amerikatsis?" I don't see a difference between your question and the one I just posed. However, what do both have to do with the situation in Armenia? She is saying there is a problem in the homeland itself. That is inexcusable, if true.

      Plus, I don't know what you're talking about I've seen women in Armenia dressing very European, there are European clothes stores all over the place now, and many dress rather openly, especially during night. I don't see that arab influence in armenia, except in rabiz.

      Do you have any sources of foreigners visiting Georgia and Armenia, and their reactions?



      doesn't look to "european" to me
      My source was my foreign friend who visited both countries recently. Don't you think that the same could be said about Armenia ? ( your quote)...
      And that is the point, that Georgians make propaganda to appear European, how many of their readers will ever visit Georgia to see it for themselves?

        That's going to get increasingly common since our world community is becoming more globalized. In other words, trends of cultures are starting to be seen in EVERY country's youths. For instance, my brother and I both stopped called ourselves "Mexican American" -- unless you're the census, we tell you we're "American."

          Let's hope Armenians never adopt this practise for themselves.

            That's a problem too, with the Armenians that try to act like black thugs. Those don't have to do with problem in Armenia (still big problems of course) but I still don't understand how armenians are acting as arabs, really the major influence there is russian, and also western of course. I've seen most women dress very western, and rather fashionable.

              American culture is dangerous to small ethnic groups like ours, it advocates assimilation and makes it very easy for even first generation immigrants to "assimilate" in the process losing their culture and falling into the American identity pot.

                I hate to break it to you, but I already see it.
                In fact, this whole thread regarding the debate of if Armenians are "white" or "not" is the start, so to speak.

                In America, for instance, let's say your kids are born here, raised here, in order for them to succeed here, they need to be "global" citizens - aware of the common threads between cultures to make communication easier and therefore make more money. This can lead to either them drifting away from the Armenian Identity and more into the Global Identity. (ie: I am from California, I'm American - I am part of the country, speaking to you, in your country.;... and so forth).

                  America is just a temporal distortion in the time continuum. Its identity stealing, culture killing days are coming to an end. Resistance isn't futile.

                    I think the reasoning behind an Armenian identifying as an American is different. They are either assimilated to the point of no return or they feel "bullied" by American society which often seems to be non-accepting of "ethnics" or they just wanna save the embarassment of an ignoramus not knowing what an Armenian is and calling us Arabs or asking if "Armeynyans are Muzlims?" so they just say they're American.

                      There's one way to know if a person is American or Armenia. If asked "Who would you fight for in case of a war between Armenia and USA?", if the person responds USA, he is American, if responds Armenia, than still Armenian.

                      Of course a large simplification, but still a good indicator.
