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.

      While the last two posts are riveting, what I'm trying to find out is: What characteristics do we share as a people, if any? Do we even have a stereotype? When people make jokes about us, is there a common thread? Or are we so unknown and so assimilating that we have no national identity?

I dont in any way aproof of their thieve acting ways , in wich you mentioned goes on in ISrael and so on.


        Sadly, i dont give a damn anymore about jews this and that.I dont give a xxxx about jews...or if you like them. Its fine if you like jews just dont stick it into my face...you can answear for me as only I can answear for myself.
        i happened to be listening to the radio today and they were discussing the armenian guyes that got caught selling weapon or smth. so one man calls and says: "i used to live with armenians and they are the nastiest people i ever knew, they would sell even their mother just to get profit". i mean, come on, dont you know that there are good and bad people in every nation? what is this "i hate jews" talk for? i personally dont think that they are any different from regular people. maybe in a better way, cuz they keep to the traditions and marry their own nation, which makes them definitely stronger in general

            well, since our nation is not really known to americans we dont usually meet stereotypes. but if you ask for example russian people, you will. they picture us more like greeks. if you saw "my big fat greek wedding" and have ever been to an armenian one you could tell that there is a lot in common.

              magdalinka,
              Thank you. I have never been to an Armenian anything and am so happy to have a frame of reference. I'm going out right after posting this to rent "My Big Fat Greek Wedding." Any books, articles or films...anything that will give me a clue about Armenian culture/identity is so welcome!

                There is nothing to explain. I was being sarcastic.

                  Today my geography prof said that Hebrew is the source of Aramaic, which I do not agree with, but anyway... it reminded me of something I saw on the Russian channel a few months ago.

                  There was a show about Armenians in Israel, and an Armenian woman was talking about how Hebrew and Armenian are very similar (she speaks both), and went on to hypothesize that they are similar because they come from the same language - Aramaic. She said that she has spoken to linguists, and they agreed.

                  Am I the only one who thinks that this is balogna??? None of my research has ever suggested that Armenian and Hebrew have the same origin. Hebrew - Semitic group Armenian - Indo-European group....no same source

                    That woman is stupid and she never spoke to any linguists. Even dwarfs and smurfs know Armenian is an Indo-European language, not Semetic.

                      Look - I think your better off just sticking to stormfront. Posts like these just illustrate to everyone here what a racist a*hole you are.
