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: Do you wish you were not Armenian?

      Well, although I don't appreciate the comments, as he is still my father, I'm aware that we all have problems or faults. When I can, I try to help him out, but in certain issues, such as this, he's been totally hardwired based on bad experiences, and although he takes some of the blame, he has the tendancy of "sharing" the blame on others. Sort of childish, but when you understand someone's tendancies, you might be able to work around the obstacles if you show care and concern.

      And that's my advice to the rest of you, in case your family members are difficult to deal with. Be receptive to as many comments that don't hurt you as you can, and work from there.

        Hi, im sorry for posting this but I wish I wasnt Armenian.

        I was raised the only Armenian in my whole neighborhood, only Armenian in school. Never went to Armenian Church because parents were too busy.
        I never met Any Armenians. Everyone in my family is married to J ewss. I thought Armenian was a form of being a J ew for a long time.
        People say what are you? I say Armenian they say whats that?
        They have made fun of my looks. Dark eyes, pale skin.

        I have met Armenians at a club-they were so nasty and told me i cant be Armenian because i look too white.

        I remember when i was 10, my mom gave me a book that said "I am Armenian"
        i ripped it up into pieces
        I just hate it. I wish I was Italian, Greek, I hate being Armenian. Its awful
        i am the only armenian in my school and in my town.
        people say to me, whats armenian? u dont have to live ur life as an armenian if u dont want to. my brother married a greek, my sisters boyfriend is english for example...
        being armenian aint so bad tho. try and think of being armenian as unique. u can make yourself not feel armenian, but it will always be in your blood no matter what.

                My father is a self hating Armenian, my mother's side is full fledged bolsahye. I live in Montreal and practice kung fu with fellow Armenians. All commands are in Armenian except the official names of certain stances and moves. It's quite enjoyable actually.

                I stand somewhat detached from other Armenians however. I am trilingual (we speak French and English in Quebec), yet pretty much an Anglophone who speaks a weak Western Armenian. Still, I'm not ashamed of who I am, or the blood that runs through me. I am fond of our history as a people and our capabilities as a race. I am not fond of the wreckless and dimwitted attitudes of many Armenians, but I do not let those stupidities mar my understanding of our true potential.

                We aren't of European descent and never will be. Accept what you are, and then you will find the beauty behind it. Look in the mirror and smile, not because of how you look, but because you accept yourself. Your face and your Armenian heritage come second, as they are your identity, yet you have the choice to make them more important. You can let your heritage become part of yourself by learning about it and connecting spiritually to your ancestors and brethren. You can let your face be the icon of who you are and what you stand for, for others to see.
                man you have to tell me where the Armenians Kung Fu is in Montreal lol jai une ceinture jaune en tai kwon do mais une ceinture noire en kung fu Armenians la jpourais kick ds asses en criss

                  lol, l'ecole y est actuellement en Laval...

                  En quelle style aviez vous pratique le kung fu? Les Armeniens ici pratique une style tres particulaire qui comprise des stances des animaux puis les "dances" pour chaque variant des animaux. Quand j'ai parle de ca avec quelque de mes amis qui font le Kung Fu dans les ecoles plus commercielles (et non-Armenien), ils ne connaissent pas de ce que j'en parle.
