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.

    Big deal, so the cashier was a little moody. It's Ralphs, not the Ritz Carlton. Maybe the guy shouldnt have been talking so much and been focused on using a "divider" so the error could have been avoided. On top of that, I think it's rude to be speaking a different language next to someone who does not understand that language. If i was behind this family, I would have simply advised them to use a divider so they wouldnt hold up the line. You're getting worked up over nothing and I don't see anything having to do with racism in the scenario.

      it's interesting to see how NONE of you were there, but ALL of you are so sure of what was going throught the guy's head! well i was there and it's just the energy about him and the total disrespect he had for the customers and his whole approach...if it's too painful for you all to believe, then don't!

          Ok, you were there. You described exactly what was there. He didn't sound racist. Remember, I made my point based on what YOU wrote. Your personal intuitive feelings are your own, as none of us can confirm that. Cheers .

                I have to agree with you Mr. Racer. However, if Armenian's the only language they speak, should they just shut up the entire time they are in line? Hmm...::raises right eyebrow::

                  anyways, back to the topic: this dude had no problem or inhibitions about hididing his anger or accusing the customers of 'talkin too much'--i was there and i could see! HE WAS ANNOYED! they were speaking kind o' loud but not too loud; i can almost guarantee one thing! he would not have made a comment like that if the customer was black! cuz he knew he'd never hear the end of it!
                  Perhaps he said that because he knew they wouldn't understand it, not because they were Armenian. I didn't see anythign racist about your story.

                    No my dear. They should speak only loud enough so that they can hear, not people nearby. Whispering at times wont kill them either. We both know most Armenians are loud when it comes to their conversation skills and they pay no attention to their surroundings. At least that's what I've observed at my current job and while I went to CSUN. Oh, and the name's Andrew...Mr. Racer just sounds corny and weird.
