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.

    Moldy Cheese, you have to realize you're talking to a 16 year old. His intentions are good, he is pride-full, but obviously somewhat immature.

    It goes without saying that we would all prefer a virgin, and it saddens all of us (those that care about preserving our culture) when we see Armenian girls with otars.

      Are you stupid?

      Did I say it's wrong? No, I don't think I did.

      What I did say is wrong, is you expecting to "get" a virgin, while you yourself are anything BUT that.

      For the simple fact that a woman has a womb, while a man doesn't. Please think long and hard about that before you ask me to explain the implications of this anatomical difference.

        I actually am about to turn 16 on the 21st.

        Well, I'm glad we all agree that if all Armenian women WERE virgins...that would be a postive thing and would signify self-respect.

        I think when you talk about my "immaturity" - your refferring to my idea that, if we start ACCEPTING the idea that Armenian women dont HAVE to be virgins, and the sooner we expect it to BE that way, the higher the chances of it actually happening. Why would she have to be a virgin if nobody cared?

        Can't disagree, that is a immature, illogical, and very extremistic of me to be that way.

          I expect her to be a virgin. If she expected me to be a virgin...she would have to find somebody else. Just like an Armenian girl who tells a guy who expect her to be a virgin...to find somebody else.

            ddd, thank you for that enlightening piece of information. Wow, do I feel awkward now.

            Well, it's easier to "fix" them the younger they are.

            No.

            "To me, virginity represents respect for one's body and for one's future life partner".

            So if the guy isn't a virgin, then he's not respecting his future life partner OR his body.

              I agree. To make everything completly equal, Armenian women should expect that aswell? Just as Armenian men expect it...?

                I have no doubt he will get "fixed"

                I agree with you in that both men and women should reserve themselves (if they expect virgin partners), though by society's standards, a man's virginity isn't worth nearly as much as a woman's, and from my experience, virgin women actually prefer a man that has been with a couple of girls.

                  You're catching on, little one. That is correct.

                  I feel bad now for name-calling you.

                    I don't think that we have gained respectability because Armenian women were virgins; that was the case in all cultures - more so in cultures that never inspired respect. Women were oppressed in all cultures - at least, in all patriarchal societies. Also, the changes - positive or not - in the habits and mentalities are mainly explained by the changing conditions of life in the societies where we live- i.e. not necessarily from a cultural point of view.

                    I fail to understand in your perception the strong correlation between abstinence and "purity" or respectability, as if an abstinent individual - man or woman - was more likely to be respectable than a non-abstinent one.
                    Personally, I chose to be faithful to the woman that I love and respect; but, I'm not sure if the rate of respectable individuals is higher among abstinent individuals. The reasons of my choice are many; such as respect of her feelings, stability, expression of the sincerity of my feelings towards her etc..

                    Also, are you suggesting that the crime rate is inversely proportional to the rate of "female virginity?" Many cases disprove your statement. Moreover, I'm afraid that your views may promote - intentionally or not - domestic violence and sexual harassment. I wonder if domestic violence does not cause more deaths than AIDS. Even in a country like France, domestic violence takes the life of a woman every 3-4 days.

                    Finally, I think that - most likely - women lose their virginity rather because of the "male" hormones than the "female" hormones i.e. pressured - read "bullied, hustled, forced, raped, etc." - into having sex by a male partner.
                    What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

                      No. Your viewpoint is making sex and virginity the central issue in forming relationships while there are faaaaaar more important things than just sex sex sex sex. This constant focus on sex and virginity is actually the downfall of many poor young souls who waste their entire lives trying to live up to some arbitrary standards, set by their "culture".
                      this post = teh win.
