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 hope he does the honourably thing and fs-off,
    or maybe its too much to expect honour from the likes of him.
    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.
    Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

      Re: Would you be okay with legalized abortion in Armenia?

      while i don't support abortion, i understand how it can be necessary, for instance, there should be the option if it comes down between the mother and the child's life (always save the mother), or if the mother was a victim of rape/incest, you also run the risk of women trying to do back alley abortions which many times can run the risk of going wrong and resulting in infertility or sometimes even death.

      I also understand why there shouldn't be abortion, especially since there aren't that many Armenians anyways, but idk even most ultra conservative baptist republicans in the USA say there are exceptions to where it should be allowed, so maybe there should be some exceptions in Armenia as well

        I think the majority of people will agree abortion is acceptable under certain circumstances up to a certain period during pregnancy. The grey area has always been what those circumstances should be and up until which point is it no longer a blob but a viable human life. What the general intelligent society doesn't want to promote is the idea that it's ok to be irresponsible since abortion is always an acceptable solution.

        Politically abortions are one of those non-issues and just a diversion the from real issues that affect the majority.

          Azar, it's good to ask questions; however, it may be necessary for you to also participate in other discussions that exist so we can see a more diverse view of you and your beliefs. Just a suggestion so we can get to know you better


          Does anyone else find it ironic that the person who legalized abortion in America is now an anti-abortionist?

                Now i'm no expert on abortion statistics or what not but...

                In 2009, 23.2% of pregnancies in Armenia ended in abortion, a slight rise from the all-time low recorded in 2004 (22.1%).[3]


                What's up with this figure? Isn't this a little too high? The article makes it seem like it's low...?

                  Not sure. It's wikipedia, anyone can edit it, and maybe the numbers are bogus.
                  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.

                    Those figures are posted based on the reference articles posted at the bottom of the page. They are most definitely wrong. 23% is outrageously large, even larger than in the US. Some of the statistics in the linked article mentioned up to 140 abortions per 1000 women which is over 7 times that in the US.
                    I just linked the article just to show that abortion is indeed legal. A better link would be the following that outlines what type of abortion is legal when.

                    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_law just go to the abortion section.

                      Re: Would you be okay with legalized abortion in Armenia?

                      Well idk if those numbers are accurate fed, but I would imagine they are much lower than rates in other countries, such as india, where no matter how many abortions they have they still can't seem to keep the population from increasing.

                      The rate is on par with that of America, i think it's 22% of all pregnancies excluding miscarriage here, end in abortion.

                      I think abortion should stay legal, but perhaps couples having sex should at least think of contraceptives, or even the morning after pill, so it won't ever have to come down to an abortion
