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 Armenian women handicapped because of their upbringing?

    I think we should all let loose and let nature take it's course. Trying to control Armenian woman is only going to make em rebel. Let it all go. I think in the long run, the Armenian Diaspora will find itself in a more comfortable and evolved state.
    Like it is now?

    We're heading down that road anyway. No point in slowing it down. And hey, you might like what you see in the end.
    Do you like what you see today? Shouldn't we try and work things out? Or should we just sit around and let everything go further down the rabbit hole?
    THE ROAD TO FREEDOM AND JUSTICE IS A LONG ONE!

        I don't think that will work. That rabbit hole is huge.

              When did I say such a thing?? Can you stop distorting what is being said??
              Many people carryout events that affected their childhood well beyond their age.... and I wasn't "enlightening" you.

              When did I claim that's what you said? If what was being said was more clear and concise, there wouldn't be any distortion.

                Seriously, can you read?

                She was well beyond developping breasts.

                When you quote me and say that, what else could it mean?

                  :
                  I understood what you said.... I said that maybe she was teased when she was young and it affected her psychological development.

                  It means I quoted you to carry the conversation and then I stated this has nothing to do with Armenian culture for anyone that might be reading through the forums. Communication is a two-way street

                    I'll have to admit that I did not do much because I did not want to cause trouble, but I have criticized their parents a couple of times. But how much can one person achieve against a community? They are convinced that they're doing the right thing and others around them do the same.
                    Closely monitoring their interaction with boys, asking them to "behave" as if they were nuns, repress anything that may encourage boys to think that...But anything can encourage boys to think in certain way.
                    A person who is too closely monitored ends up inhibiting the most natural behavior, including smiling. It's like wearing a straight jacket. As you said you lose it if you don't practice it.

                    Not necessarily, there are differences between biological maturity and psychological maturity. Some people might be mature with one and not the other and vice versa.



                    VartanK, would you like to expand on what it is your sister/brother is doing wrong with their parenting that causes your nieces to to transform from being lively and playful to being serious and dull.

                    Oppression is generally caused by feeling burdened, additional anxiety from adverse conditions. Just like when you get a new job or you have exams at school, etc. As Armenians we all naturally struggle with racism and trying to fit in and adapt to other cultures. Naturally when children see other children whose parents don't care or are living in single parent homes do things that their own parents wouldn't approve of, they have a sense of not fitting in or feeling different which can cause anxiety.
                    Don't take me wrong but I learned that it's difficult/impossible to have a productive debate with you. If you want to be taken seriously then you should make effort to respect others. I don't think that you are an ill-willed manipulator and a pretentious charlatan like Anonymouse, but I don't understand why you constantly "bicker and pull strings" as Kattie said. What I mean is that you don't suggest alternatives and I don't see a clear train of thought in your posts.

                    What? Can you explain how it is psychological yet it's neither hormonal nor cultural? What do you understand by hormonal, cultural and psychological?
                    This is a funny forum.

                      Oh I see... when somebody gives your closed mind a different point of view or disagrees with you it's called "bickering" and "pulling strings" .... my bad.... a conversation involves a panel of people... not just one person talking to him/herself.
