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.

    Those numbers cannot be correct. Some of the numbers in the article quoat up to 140 abortions per 1000 women. The rate in the US is around 20 per 1000. If there really were 140 abortions per 1000 women, the abortion rate would be higher than 90%.

    The rate is on par with that of America, i think it's 22% of all pregnancies excluding miscarriage here, end in abortion.
    America has a major abortion problem, it's not even close to that in Armenia.

    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
    Those pills do their own damage. Women who get on the pill may experience difficulties getting pregnant after they get off. I think abortion should only be legal when it endangers the woman's life, or the pregnancy was a result of rape/incest.
    Having it be legal makes people less responsible with their actions.

      The morning after pill is not the same as the birth control pill. It's a pill you take to destroy an egg if it should have met with sperm and started the process. Some argue this is the "earliest" time to have an abortion.

      Birth control does take at most a year after stopping the pill before pregnancy can occur -- however, that's not the typical number, usually it takes anywhere from 3-9 months.

      Then there's also the abortion pill. This is not the same as the morning after pill.

        Lack of proper education (both moral and "technical") for both sexes does, not abortion per se. When abortion was illegal women who incurred in unwanted pregnancy (most of whom were mothers of too many children they could afford, or abuse victims) abandoned their children in churches, gave them away for adoption, killed them right away, or used whatever risky method to get rid of the foetus - from parsley potions to kicks in the belly.
