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.

  • The Dangers of the Liberal Mind in Armenia

    With the coming of age of the new generation, there is increasing risk of the dangers of the youth liberal mind playing out. This mindset entail many things, some of which I believe are dangerous to Armenian society and the Armenian state. For example, there is the liberal, Western notion of "multiculturalism" is a dangerous concept to our fragile demographics. One must just look at some countries in Europe to see the failed policy of multiculturalism that even the leader of Germany has admitted to. It also lessens patriotism which I think is very important in our country especially in the youth. There's the notion also with this mindset of the fact that all ideas and lifestyle, how crazy they maybe, society has a duty to accept them and accept everyone. This can yield to dangerous results, for example, the increase of youth that are fascinated with the occult and other black magic - and there actually have been cases and I have seen such people in Armenia. This is literally "satanic behaviour" and it cannot be tolerated. There is also the flawed opinion that there is justice in the world, that all problems stem from one source, and/or the commercialised democracy is the best form for any society, no matter what. In essence, they miss the grey spots in human society and take a non-analytical approach that can be dangerous. There is also this arrogant notion of independence that is anti-family in nature and spawns feelings of "rebellion" in favour of individualism. Our culture which is based on family values thus is naturally attacked by such a mindset. There comes with this a thinking that tradition and culture are "primitive" and "backwards" in comparison with the commercialised ideals they are fed by Western sources. Instead, we need to take in the constructive and positive Western and even liberal ideals, but in doing so we have to make sure our society, culture, and mindset is not in conflict with them and is maintained. This strong liberal mindset that can often take hold of the youth is not healthy for our society and in some cases can be dangerous especially when it lessens respect for the family and patriotism toward the state and people.

      That has nothing to do with my writing. Of course you see what you want to see.

        I didn't know the Armenian state had hired you for spokesperson services?

        I wonder how comfortable you are airing these opinions in public. I remember a student expressing similar ideas during a discussion on multiculturalism in one of my college classes. During his long-winded, racist rant, I was looking at the professor -- he was trying to remain objective, but the expression on his face kept shifting between pity and unvarnished disgust.

          what part of my writing do you find racist? I suggest you research the failed policy of multiculturalism in Europe, to the point that the state leaders of countries like Germany have said that multiculturalism has failed.

            I fixed it for you.........most Armenians don'r assimilate, however they intergrade very well into other societies.

            But we are not Europeans.

            I know the feeling though.......a conservative surrounded by liberals, but its OK sometimes, good to have different ideas if it helps the cause.

              That's the problem with liberal education. Racism is when you try to eliminate races by convincing the young and stupid that it's racist to marry and breed their own race/culture. Then you have a country/state that looks something like Brazil. Don't worry though, because the wealthy only invite their own kind to their events and only marry other wealthy types so they don't really care that this kind of thought breeds poverty.

                Not geographically Europe, but culturally similar in many ways and identified as such by numerous reputable sources. Human dynamics are human dynamics regardless of the exact geography if the culture and thought processes are similar enough. (Heck, even some Persians, for better or worse and more or less accuracy, consider themselves European.)

                And agreed. Even in the US, too much of a liberal mindset can break down moral barriers into an "everything goes" mindset where too much goes.

                  Armenians are more a separate group. We are not Asians, Europeans, nor do we like being grouped as such. I would we are more accurately an ethnic group native to the Armenian Highland, a people of the South Caucasus and Anatolia. We do have ethnic ties with the Indo-European speaking peoples in the region such as Persians and Greeks.

                  Political Armenia is part of Europe. As it's a member of Council of Europe and considered a European country by EU.

                    Exactly, it this pathetic liberal point of view that has led to the slow take over of Europe by Turks. Now that its almost too late all of them are waking up. Racism is not thinking for the self interest of your race and your people. Racism is thinknig you are superior to other races, that they are inferior to you. Armenians need to wake up, and change before the Diaspora youth are completely gone. Multiculturalism has crippled large powerful Western European nations. In the case of a small vulnerable population like the Armenians, it can destroy us.
