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.

I invite you to return to the forum year after year until you actually have cause to be as smug as you like act. As of yet we're quite happy and smitten, thanks.

Good luck to you and your family!!!

Re: Who is the Armenian girl that our guys strive to marry.
Originally posted by gegev View PostI guess the vocal, independent women should marry modest, dependent men to avoid divorce.
Mos, I invite you to produce one shred of evidence to support any of that. And " many people think so too"? Really? Reality isn't voted on. And the fact that there are other who think like you isn't evidence that what you think is correct.

Originally posted by Siggie View PostOpinionated, vocal, independent, and intelligent, but at the same time, family-oriented, modest, hard working, sympathetic to others, respectful, and honest. Probably not what you'd expect out of Western culture which you guys think churns out nothing but garbage. In Armenia, it was more the locals who looked far more painted up and looking like prostitutes. So YES, I resent it when you make sweeping generalizations about Armenian women who grew up in the West and imply that women who are feminists and/or share my views wear handkerchiefs for skirts, are selfish, look down on family, and are ashamed of being Armenian. You might find this surprising, but that's incredibly offensive!Last edited by gegev; 09-22-2012, 12:21 PM.

Originally posted by Haykakan View PostI allways point out the evile things that the west does to our world but the attitude many Armos have twords women including these jokers is as "Hetamnats" as it can get. Some of the people i consider as friends in the armenian community wont allow their wives to get an education nor a job fearing they will leave them once they are empowered. There are great women everywhere but finding them is not always easy be it in Armenia or in the USA. We Armenians do not have everything figured out and we do have things to learn from others including the west.

Originally posted by Mos View PostIn what way do you think?
Exactly. Fortunately, not all Armenian women are like this, there are still many traditional women out there, but you can see things changing also to the bad side also. Those 'emancipated women' that look down on family, look down on their parents, look down on their religion, eventually look down on their nation, become embarrassed of being Armenian, and want to become "European". So they will in every way try to be one, including dressing very immodestly to achieve this. A woman should look like a women, a woman should have her place in society, her place in the family, a woman should respect our values and culture, and so forth. The degradation of women can lead to the degradation of your nation.

Originally posted by gegev View PostRight!!! We are just against the "Rembo" women, that's it.
Women should look like women, in everything. Is it unnatural?
What's wrong in it?
Why they should be similar/equal to men?
Are they created for the same functions?
For normal Armenian women; the expression; "You look like men", is an insult.
As it is in the case of horse, when somebody says; ''You look like donkey''.
Note please that the expression above doesn't discriminate donkeys, it reinstates the fact that they are different and horse refuses putting equal sign among them.
But alas nowadays emancipated western feminists can't accept/realize this.
Because of their western/"modern" independent thinking "previlage" and "I'm my own hero" slogan. For them public opinion doesn't mean anything; they live for themselves and violating public opinion or Christian values isn't a big problem/task for them.

Re: Who is the Armenian girl that our guys strive to marry.
Originally posted by Mos View PostI didn't say independent thought is the problem. The problem is having foreign values/influences corrupt your own sets of values and culture that define your nation. Nor am do we advocate isolation of women, actually we emphasize the respect for women and women are still important part of society of course.

For normal/regular Armenian women; the expression; "You look like a men", is an insult.
As it is in the case of horse, when somebody says; ''You look like a donkey''.

Armenian REGULAR WOMEN doesn't live for themselves; they live for their children and family; this is the main difference between them!!! Children/Family versus Ego centered ones!!!
Why a man would fall in love for half a century with the EGO centered one?????????????????????????
Just for a sex only?????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????
How is it that today's western women role models; "celebrities" fall in "love" and are getting married several times. Can you name several celebrities that are not divorced at least once. They all claim that they are getting married when they love the partner. Is it love or search for a sex partner?
And this is why the Regular Women don't understand/accept the emancipated of family/Christian values; western ones.Last edited by gegev; 09-22-2012, 01:29 AM.
