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.

      Are you familiar with Geert Wilders?
      Stoning laws are outdated. It's better to make someone's life so sh!tty that they just end up killing themselves. Besides, a country with blasphemy laws couldn't have any comedians.

              They really are peasants. Since the pfa and levonakan types like to compare Armenia with the US, imagine if some old f*ck like the one in the first half of the video were to get that close to a high ranking police officer here and shout those same insults, spit, and then try to do it again. He would be hit in the face, tasered and probably beaten by batons. Even if this happened to a low level cop the person would still be hit. Yet, our peasants both on the street and in the media will act as if the cops were to blame for this.

              These people do not know how to behave when they are given freedom, they act like rapid dogs!
              For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
              to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                Well that old guy was out of line in yelling those things to the police officers repeatedly, God knows what will happen to him when he's in the police custody. That being said, these people were trying to protest and the police was not letting them and being very forceful, that's why they got so mad. Hey, if this was during LTP's regime, those protesters would be beat savagely on the spot or run down with police cars, just like they ran down protesters with tanks when LTP rigged the election.

                That being said, one important difference in police in US and Armenia, is that in Armenia police are hated universally, they are seen as the enemy of the people, while in the US there's more respect and also trust in the police force.

                  I guess you never heard the song, 'f*ck the police', by NWA. Cops are not much liked in the US either, it's just that they can be held accountable more often than cops in Armenia. However, this is beginning to change.

                  I think the protestors could achieve their aims via peaceful means and in the process make the authorities look bad should they intervene.

                    Well obviously the black population doesn't like the police, but I'm assuming the whites are good with them.

                      A large percentage of the younger generation (30 or younger) doesn't like the police or at least likes to talk poorly of them. Part of this is due to rap and films, the other is the upbringing, and the last is too many cops being @ssholes and giving all of them a bad name.
