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.

            but I lost you here.

            Sorry for the incorrect sentence should of edited it.What I meant was "Mixed (charm) with healthy dose of self-esteem.
            I'll elaborate further.Self esteem comes from being loved, and not all girls have been loved as much as boys in our history, because of that sometimes you'll find overcompensation by certain members of the family which makes it evev worse .Parents love and encouragement goes a long way in producing a person that feels secure enough to love, and give.

            BTW- I think less the degree in psychology, Kanada Still has a better insight to this issue then Haykakan.
            "All truth passes through three stages:
            First, it is ridiculed;
            Second, it is violently opposed; and
            Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

Point out to me ONE handicap that the traditional Armenian upbringing inflicts to a woman and I might agree! Otherwise it's just empty talk.
              I got a whole school worth of examples for you. I graduated from AGBU and most of the school was females. Most but not all were patheticly self absorbed and always tried to outcompete each other by wearing the more expencive and flashy cloth. It got so bad that these girls were wearing freakin designer nightgowns to class. The school was forced to institute a strict dress code which ruined it for all the guys cause now we had to wear uncomfortable uniforms because of some self absorbed wenches.These girls did not have jobs they could not have bought these clothes with their own money so they went to dady or momy and asked for it and the stupid parents let their kids wear thousend dollar dresses to school.We had a 16 yearold girl get married and drop out of school not because she fell in love with a boyfriend but because some old ass rich xxxler wanted to merry her and she wanted the easy life so xxxx school and her parents were so happy about the whole thing. Then we had a couple 17 year olds get married the same way. Couple 18 yearolds after that all the same stupid story. These women were very much hurt by their upbringing, it was their parents who said it was ok and good to get married at 16 to some bald rich dude. It was the parents that bought those expencive dresses and let them wear it to school. Needless to say non of these girls got anything out of school because their parents never stressed education for their girls instead they fed the stupid sleazfest of who can make her mom or dad buy her the more expencive gown so she can wear it to school and show it off. These parents considered this bullxxxx "traditional upbringing" and their daughters were very much hurt by it because they grew up to be ignorent, self absorbed women whose husbands eventually left them.

                It's Michigan, there is lots of money and little education.... people are used to working right out of high school or dropping out of school and working in the auto industry and making a good living. Seems like those young girls were influenced more by local tradition than their "traditional upbringing". They probably also had parents who didn't value education. Those days are over and things are changing. The easy money is gone.

                  Yekhpayr, no matter where you are or what you say, you should always take into account the place ... time ... and circumstance. Just because girls were the way they were in AGBU, that doesn't make the majority of Armenian girls that way. You gave me a school of examples ... from your school itself!
                  THE ROAD TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IS A LONG ONE!

                    Some people can only see the world from their point of view... the world to them is their immediate surroundings. Not everyone is fortunate enough to live in different countries and experience different cultures. When I worked in Michigan, I found it odd that most of the people I worked with had never left their own state let alone the US. Their view of the world was so inward looking, almost as if they had never really left highschool even though they were 40 or 50 yrs old.

                      Re: Are Armenian women handicapped because of their upbringing?

                      You guys are missing the point. This is just one example. I have been all over the world and seen plenty of Armenian women in different places including Armenia. Why don't you guys let the girls talk and tell about what they think and feel instead of arguing with me.I said in my previous post that not all Armenian girls are like this and i talked about the ones who were.Sexuality is a difficult subject to discuss with your child but it has a extra taboo to it in MOST Armenian families especially when it comes to daughters.KanadaHye do my eyes decieve me or are you of all people implying that education is actually a good thing?"almost as if they had never really left highschool even though they were 40 or 50 yrs old".Correct me if i am wrong but was it not you who said science research should not be funded and that evolution is a load of crap etc..I think the girls should be carrying this discussion and i hope they don't shy away and participate.
