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: Preventing Sexual Revolution in Armenia

    Because it'd be taboo... and as we also know that when people are denied something, they want it more. the influence doesn't have to be the media.

      That only works for economics and "free sex" or the "sexual revolution" made sex more expensive

          You probably don't understand this as you are American, but assimilation is the greatest threat to Armenians, next to Turks and Azeris. With such a large diaspora it is imperative we prevent widespread assimilation. The American/western culture is like a spell that draws immigrants to forget their native, rich roots and fall into a pot of mostly degraded culture and mindset, and become "a part of the group" but at the expense of abandoning your culture, upbringing, and at times, your family.

            Yes, I have a completely different standpoint, especially as an American.
            I used to hate them, even though I'm one myself; especially in high school. I went to an international school so I got to meet a lot of different cultures...
            It was imperative at that school that we learn more about our own cultures and share it with others. It wasn't until college that I realized this mentality was not just at my high school.
            America overall's biggest prized "possession", if you will, is the fact we have so much diversity and of different cultures. Yes, we hae our mainstreams, but we do not also say you have to leave your culture. If you don't like it, then don't participate is the attitude. It is imperative now that many people know more than one language, besides English. A lot of that we may get in school, some people get it because of their families.

            After studying a lot about culture through history, anthropology, psychology, and sociology, i'm not at all surprised you feel assimilation is a big threat. We've all seen what it can do in a negative light. Have you noticed it's also used as a means to preserve?
            Imagine all the documentaries that exist, the TV shows (ever seen a cooking show about "culture" food? Safaris?), travel agents, books (read "The Underdogs" for a really good idea of what I mean by this), Rosetta Stone and other "language learning" tools, global newspapers, our own neighborhoods. Culture and the diversity of it hasn't died in America. We thrive on it to prove to the rest of the world that we're "tolerant" of others ideas. It's controversial. It's real. When culture dies is when youth completely abandon what their culture is and try to culminate their own -- eventually, a lot realize, as they get older, that there's a way to bridge the gap. Use the mainstream to their advantage.

              Who is our forum sexual expert to arbiter that kind of discussions? I think we should elect someone with expertise, on democratic bases, to do the job.

              Although, may be, some other creatures are more natural, knowledgeable/sincere in the area to learn from.

                    Almost all nations of the west have stable population growth and lower std rates. It's the non western countries which are over populated and have higher std rates.

                    While not all std's have been around for all time, there have been std's since recorded history practically began and there have always been sudden pandemics of them. And overpopulation has always existed, otherwise we'd never have even gotten to a billion people.

                    How is a woman a ho if she's able to support herself if anything should happen to her spouse? Aren't ho's usually the ones who don't work, have no skills, and only marry certain men b/c they have money?

                    Does anyone here actually believe that the "Sexual Revolution" would still not happen even without the West's influence?

                    thank you for pointing all that out.

                    I'd also like to point out that time and time again, in the USA and the west, it's usually the kids who don't get sex ed (or anywhere in the world for that matter) who become the ones who have an unplanned pregnancy, or become infected with an std as opposed to the ones who are taught about practicing safe sex and use contraceptives and birth control

                    We understand the danger's of assimilation, but us diasporans have nothing to do with this thread. The topic is preventing the sexual revolution from effecting Armenians in Armenia

                    And while you may be right that acting more American will make the diaspora in the USA assimilate faster, you fail to see that even if the "sexual revolution" took place in Armenia that at the end of the day Armenians there would still be Armenian.

                    Hayastantsis aren't just gonna suddenly learn English and declare Armenian as the 51st state of the USA, or learn Turkish and leave to go screw around with Turks and Azeris. At the end of the day even if all of the hayastantsi youth became crazed sex addicts, they'd still only be having sex with each other and still be Armenian.

                    The important thing is to prepare the youth instead of trying to keep them from having sex by never talking about it. Imagine how life would better in so many countries across South America, Africa, and Asia, if in the past 5 decades they'd have taught their children about practicing safe sex instead of hoping that there kids just wouldn't have sex until they were married.
