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.

    Though I do not have strong American pride, I must disagree with you. "American" isn't really an identity. When I tell people I'm "American," they don't accept that answer: "So does that mean you're white? Spanish? You look Italian..." America wasn't even founded by ONE ethnic group. It is a moshpot of diversity - for better or for worse. Its culture killing days will continue forever. Why? Not for some dark agenda, but because America is compiled of individuals who think of themselves more and more with each generation instead of thinking of themselves as part of a society, and thus making it ridiculously difficult to govern itself. There is only so much compromising that can be achieved.

    What intrigues me is that I definitely see the point that many people don't know who Armenians are (I'll be frank. I met my first Armenian this last year...and now I'm dating one.... just noticed that.. moving on..). However, it's not that America is non-accepting of ethnics, they're non-accepting of whatever it is they do not KNOW. That is the fear of everyone when it gets to a certain point. For instance, the time where the house was really dark and you heard a noise...now you're not sure if you really heard it as you were doing something else (sleeping, on computer...)... and then your mind starts to wonder and you start to panic, especially if you're all alone in the house.... Point is, you don't KNOW. You became scared. America is the same way. They don't KNOW about you, so they don't know if you're a friend or foe.

      There is some truth to the "white boys club" in America. If you don't fit into their corporate culture, your chances of moving up from the mail room are slim. This is why the assimilation process is so quick, it's forced upon immigrants in trade for their survival. Also you'll find that Armenians who aren't as assimilated usually run their own businesses, work for the family, or are living in proximity to an active Armenian community. Canada seems to be far more accepting towards culture. Really, there is not much more to Canadian identity than maple syrup, hockey and beer.

        I honestly could care less if an American knows where Armenia is or not, or how ignorant they are on the subject. When asked I will say Armenian proudly and without hesitation, they don't like it or make a bad face, then they can go and xxxx themselves for all I care. If they are willing to learn (which isn't typical among americans) than I will teach them about Armenia, about our history, and so they are not so ignorant next time.

          It's also because Canada successfully practises multiculturalism.

            So you think America will just be another Brazil? There are some things that make up the American identity... I notice most people identify themselves with the school they went to. Oh, you're a Harvard man. In Michigan, it's either you're a Wolverine or a Spartan. So basically your identity ends up being a combination of the state you were raised in, the school you attended and the company you work for.

              Of course a large simplification, but still a good indicator.
              A very good point. Regardless of individual Armenian allegiance to any country, each Armenian has a holy Oath to mother Armenia. Should be a no brainer

              Armenian Diasporans are veterans of many wars....few examples Vietnam,Iran/Iraq war (on both sides).

                Some of the most Ultra-Nationalist Turks have Armenian blood in them.....which can work against them if you do it right.

                Internet is not the battlefield......your target is the reading audiance and not the enemy. However you still need to learn how your enemy (Ankara) operates, which is not visible.

                  Armenians that serve in foreign armies (willingly) are not Armenian, as they strip their allegiance and life to a foreign country (e.g. USA).

                    WRONG!!

                    Armenians have always volenteered to serve their host country in times of need.....check history from ancient times.
                    Also we even have been legions, you should know.

                      When you willingly serve in foreign armies, you swear an allegiance to the country you are fighting for, thus stripping you of the allegiance that your are supposed to owe to Armenia.
