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.

    And talking about racism, holy shiite ... America is racist to the CORE.
    Texas is a majority-minority state, in other words even though white is the largest group is whites, all the other ethnicity together equal a larger percentage of the population.

    And I wasn't ever saying that the USA is a racism free uptopia, but there are plenty of areas that aren't that and at least in the areas that due have heavy racism, you can always look at current or past situations and figure out why.

    But in armenia there's anti Israeli and anti black graffiti and sentiment everywhere, like I said, maybe the anti Israeli sentiment can be justified by the fact that Israel usually sides with Turkey over us. But as far as blacks go, how many hyastancis have ever met someone black for them to make those kind of remarks? and isn't it somewhat strange that you can find more anti black graffiti, etc than anti azeri graffiti in certain areas?

    like freakyfreaky pointed out, some things include the economy and over all government.

    I also like to travel a lot, and my over all goal is to have enough money to just keep traveling, so I wouldn't be staying in Armenia all year round, even if I lived there.

    There also just not liberal enough for me on social issues, and the entertainment sector is ..........

    I was saying that as a joke, usually people on this board and elsewhere, who talk about what a paradise Armenia is usually cite how it's population is all respectable and that the youth there are so much better than the degenerate youths of the diaspora, b/c we don't care about being armenian, and we all do drugs and whhore around with odars

      Isn't that what we in the diaspora do... it's ok when odars think I'm a player but every Armenian woman I've met peg me for one as well. It's sad Ah well, I'll get over it

        Why? You're asking the wrong question. Bro, whites in the US are MUCH MORE racist towards blacks than Armenians. Where the hell are you living anyway. You sure you ever talk to anyone without the blanket of "political correctness?"
        In the US blacks(men) have reputation of being 1)Thugs 2)Stupid 3)Uneducated 4)Criminally inclined 5)unemployed, and etc. The points of view in Armenia are mainly due to the fact that blacks (from Africa) are believed to carry AIDS at a higher rate (which is somewhat true).

        How about the rampant racism from blacks towards whites? You chose to ignore all that and complain that Armenians in Armenia are racist? No, the only difference is that Armenians in Armenia aren't ashamed of their viewpoints, whereas those here merely "cover" their "true" feelings with a blanket of "political correctness"(bullxxxx)

        Not liberal enough? I guess it would be perfect for you when the divorce rate hits higher than 70%, most kids grow up in single family households, there isn't a virgin woman older than 16 (meaning no woman worth marrying), etc. And of course you enjoy the fact that sexism is so rampant in America that it's "funny" when a woman hits a guy in his nuts, but it's "vulgar" if a man even looks at a woman wrong. Or how many commercials you see about "supporting breast cancer" and how few for "testicular cancer" when both affect around the same number of women and men respectively. Hell, one can name many biases that favor women, and at the end of the day the "politically correct consensus" is that "women are still oppressed". Well, if you think that's liberal enough, then please, do stay the hell away from Armenia. There is no need for liberal bs there.
        Do explain.

          who said Armenia is a perfect paradise? nobody is saying that. Every country has its issues. BUT, I'd much rather spend a vacation in Armenia than any other place for obvious reason, be it cultural, family ties, beautiful nature etc.
          If you're interested in whoring, lavish lifestyle etc, maybe you should stick to Thailand.

            Yep, pretty much, although the "whoring" part of Thailand only applies to parts of Bangkok (tourist areas) and Pattaya. The rest of Thailand is actually rather conservative.

              Sort of like how the diaspora goes to Yerevan and thinks that's Armenia.

                  You will have to ask his mother.
                  Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
                  Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.

                    What you mean? He looks like a full black person from Africa. Maybe he's just part of the Military Academy as a visitor?
