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: politics

    I have heard some Armenians say we should forgive the Turks, but I have never heard an Armenian say we should forgive our fellow Armenians.

      “I paint with my prick,” Renoir is quoted as having said.
      Many others think with theirs.

        Marx said, other philosophers only tried to interpret the world; he was going to change it; but he was wise enough not to say “for the better”; he was even wiser when he said, “I am not a Marxist!”

          If as an Armenian among Armenians you can survive without kissing ass, you deserve an entry in WHO'S WHO.

            POLITICS
            *************************
            If we don’t understand everything
            it’s because a great deal is hidden from us.
            *
            Consider what would have happened
            if Germans had won World War II.
            The Holocaust would have been covered up
            and anyone who dared to mention it
            would be charged with offending
            Germanishness.
            *
            If we don’t understand everything
            it’s because there is a Trump in all of us,
            including Obama.
            *
            If we are willing to be subservient
            to crooks and liars it’s because
            it is quintessentially human
            to prefer pleasant lies to unpleasant truths,
            especially truths that may exposed us
            as bloodthirsty barbarians or incompetent dupes.

                Re: politics

                It is widely known among citizens of a democracy
                that politics is the second oldest profession
                and that in many ways it resembles the first.
                Fascists agree but they think this does not apply to fascism.
                Which amounts to saying,
                “Our bordello madams, unlike yours,are virgins.”

                  PROBLEM SOLVED
                  *****************************
                  To readers who demand solutions from me,
                  I ask: How many problems
                  did our writers from Abovian to Zarian,
                  or for that matter, from Khorenatsi to Naregatsi,
                  solve?
                  *
                  Our problems will never be solved
                  as long as we are at the mercy of charlatans
                  who pretend to believe
                  the solutions of our problems
                  are well hidden from us.
                  *
                  Speaking of solutions, here is one:
                  Why do we need two
                  and sometimes even three of everything
                  when one may well be more than enough?

                    TO EVERYTHING ELSE
                    ***************************************
                    On the radio this morning,
                    recent studies show that
                    computers erode our understanding
                    of reality and history.
                    Nationalist historians have been eroding
                    our understanding of history
                    long before the advent of computers.

                    On Blacks murdering White cops:
                    We will never understand it
                    if we fail to connect these murders
                    to the degradation and pain of slavery.
                    If so far Obama has failed
                    to make this connection it’s because
                    he doesn’t want to be accused
                    of justifying these killings.
                    *
                    On ISIS and the rise of terrorism:
                    Americans are to blame, of course,
                    but it is also useful to remember that
                    Muslims have been killing Muslims
                    as well as infidels long before Columbus
                    discovered America.
