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: Are Armenians white????

    well, I just looked at the wikipedia articles for Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid. The descriptions of their phenotypes are listed near the end of the respective pages (except Caucasoid, who's description is not included on wikipedia it seems). There's a lot of criticism about the usage of these terms and their basis for differentiating populations of mankind, as genetics does not seem to support it, nor do the fact that as Anonymouse puts it, "Differences are in degrees, not in kinds". In reality, you find overlap in the distribution of traits that apparently belong to these arbitrary racial categories in a given group.

    Defenders of this kind of rigid basis for racial differentiation find the easy way out by just saying "well... Caucasoids and Mongoloids mixed there". Anyway, I don't know exactly how scientific it all is (afterall, genetic ancestry does not seem to correlate neatly with human phenotypes), but what I do know is that facial recognition is important to us humans, and that these classifications of phenotypes are intuitive for many of us, and so they will continue to be used by mankind as a basis for differentiation or recognition between groups of people.

        How many times do I have to explain this to you folks? "Europe" and "European" are artificial constructs. They are descriptive terms that reference geographic points. "Europe" isn't really a continent, but a self-conscious effort on the part of Western Europeans to divide themselves from the rest of the Asiatic land mass by artificially drawing a boundary at the Urals. Over time, the concept of what is "Europe" or "Europa" has changed. The idea of what was "Europa" to the Holy Roman Empire is different from what was Europe in the 19th century, to what is Europe now. Stop trying to pit Armenians as "Europeans". I have seen maps that have desperately tried to include Armenia within the boundaries of what is referred to as "Europe" and I have seen most maps that properly label Armenia in "Asia". It does not matter. "Europe" is actually part of the "Eur-Asian" landmass. Get over it and let's bury this ridiculous discussion.
        Go and see Armenian streets. People dress European, stores are European, and people themselves think of them as Europeans. With Armenia being a EU (European Union!) candidate and chances increasing everyday. Even Serzh, our president, said to Euronews that no matter what anybody thinks Armenians think of themselves as a European nation and he's right. Check the video I post before. We're not middle-eastern, we're not asian. We're people of the Caucasus mountains, indo-europeans, and in all Europeans. But this is a ridiculous discussion anyways.

            Armenians are Western Asian and Eastern European. End of discussion.
            Not Asian, Middle Eastern, nor European.

            Have a nice day ladies and germs.

              Why should we have to pass off as some Western European affiliate identity anyway? I think it stands in the way of connecting to the center of gravity of our civilization proper.

                    German66, most Armenians have dark hair, brown eyes and white skin so yes they are white which is why 50% of the population has the A European blood type. There are also blonde Armenians that are scattered through out Armenia; I believe the original Armenians were probably blonde but they got mixed due to the number of times we have been attacked and many times our women were stolen. My mom is pure Armenian and everyone in her family has blonde hair and blue eyes. The blonde Armenians are probably related to the celtic and germanic/nordic people. I believe about 20% of the population in Armenia has the B blood type and they are mixed with Arab/Asian blood and thus have darken skin.

                      Why are some armenians so desperate to be considered "white" and "european"?

                      My dad is one of those people. One time I pointed armenia was in asia my dad went nooo it's in europe. My mom considers armenia as a country in asia! Why? Because it is. It's not like armenia is located on a map of europe. Just why not take it as a country in asia? It's not like armenia being in asia is going to make armenians inferior.. ROFL.. Is it? I didn't think so.
