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.

    Armenia doesnt need more politicians, it has enough. It needs a leader with strong charisma, moral judgement, vision, courage, self-sacrafice. I know it might sound harsh, but I think Armenia needs a strong dictator to set the country back on the right course. All this political bickering does nothing for the people. The politicians are only fighting to see who gets to sit on the high chair and take bribes.
    Oh yea? And just what is the "right course"? Imperialism and expansion? Economic prosperity? Save the fact that most people who advocate for strong centralism and authoritarianism have no knowledge of economics, thus can never know that economic stability and wealth or jobs are never created by "leaders" or the State, but by human action.

      just too much parallels to what happened in Germany and Italy. People were outta jobs, so leaders promised them greatness and prosperity.

                  No, not imperialism or expansion. Armenia is faaar away from accomplishing things of that sort. Economic prosperity; less corruption; enforcement of laws (did you know people actually spit at police officers in armenia?) Before Armenia's independance from the USSR, would you not say that the poverty levels were less? People had jobs? The law (even though harsh at times) was enforced? What do you see now? You have a small majority that control most of Armenia's wealth and it is mainly located in the capital and its outskirts. You have people in nearby cities and villages on the point of starvation. No housing, no jobs, not even proper sanitation.

                  You are right, economic stability can not be created by a leader, but by the people. But what happens when you take away leadership from these people? For decades they have been used to strong leadership. Now that's gone, every person for himself. You need a leader to establish a strong govt, one that is not corrupt, one that will fight corruption and not turn a blind eye towards it.

                  Here's a small example, in how many US airports do you have to bribe the guy checking your luggage to let you through? Then take a look at Armenia. You could argue that the attendants taking the bribes have families to feed (in most cases its true), which brings me to my "every person for himself" point. Its a tremendous task in the undertaking, but it has to start at some point.

                      there was one leader who won my respect, the shrila-lankan PM. He rebuilt his country and brought many jobs.
