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: Armenian White Nationalism

      Hi group,
      So much drama! I love it!
      Below is a link to an interesting article on the study of Armenian genetics.
      The scope of the article is Christian minorities in Iran, i.e. Armenians and Assyrians. The article is very technical, but in summary it says that although Armenians have lived in Iran for over 400 hundred years, genetically they are a homogeneous group, with little or no intermixture with nonArmenians. This goes to show that no matter where Armenians live, we have so far retained our genetic makeup. http://www.aina.org/articles/gdaicc.htm

      Whether one's complexion is dark or light is irrelevant. As you all know, historic Armenian stretched out from Mediterranean to Black Sea, which means that our ancestors lived in different geographic area, and that's why we have variations in skin complexion and hair or eye color. Also, I think we might have mixed with our invaders as well. In that case, more power to us! The wider is one's gene pool the greater are his/her chances for survival.
      I agree with IMHye, what matters is that we share the same identity, history and culture, and that what makes us Armenian.

      Also, Armenia is actually in Europe, not Asia. There are sources that place Armenia in Asia, but they are outdated and inaccurate. Europe ends in the historic Western Armenia, and that's why Turkey is now claiming that because part of their country is in Europe, it should be accepted into the European Union.

                  Well everyone here is gettin bent all out of shape, for nothing. Some of the same people trying to claim their whiteness, discount other caucasians as white, which makes them hypocrits. Armenians are no whiter then Persians are, yet some try to claim we are, it is ridiculous. Secondly whether you like it or not, accept the fact, that many people, including most Armenians, or at least half living IN LA do not consider Armenians white. Just because you dont like that, does not mean you have to pretend it does not exist. I dont believe Armenians are white, yet it would be foolish for me to pretend, that some Armenians dont think they are white.
                  A far as that guy talkin about Pakistani looking Armenians, really get over yourself. There are plenty of them so called "pakistanis" lookin ones in LA. So why do you make fun of them, you think that makes you better then they are?
                  Actually the funny thing is, whenever I have brought, an odar to an Armenian party, no Armenians have ever spoke a word of Armenian to any of my "white" friends. Yet anyone middle eastern, or East Indian they spoke Armenian too, I wonder why this is?
                  Why are you so reluctant to actually agree with anyone here on anything? Armenian and I aren't rejecting the fact that many Arabs and Persians are white, we aren't saying anyone is whiter than anyone, so why are you generalizing just because a couple of people don't have their facts straight?

                  Now, about the Pakistani looking Armenians, I was talking about my personal experience, because Tom brought it up.... I'm sorry if this upsets you, but in Montreal, Pakistani looking Armenians are a sight to see, because they are hard to find. I'm not in touch with the Armenian community in LA, so forgive me if I say anything that upsets you.

                  I never made fun of the guy, and I don't continue to. Read the words I have written and think about them before blatantly putting words into my mouth...

                  About being white, I recommend you take a course on anthropology or something, it'll be an eye-opener for you.

                  Geez, all this fuss from everyone here is reminding me of what my father says about Armenians... Even when we all say the same thing, we fight. What the hell, this is chaos. Try to take your emotions out of this (not specifically addressed to you), so that we can actually discuss something as civilized people.

                    The ignorant ones do this.

                    Are you going to tell the darker skinned Italian he is not Italian? Are you going to tell the lighter skinned xxx he is not xxxish?

                    Also, why are some of you upset if people question if Armenia is in Middle East? Why are you embarassed? So what if it's considered in Middle East, or Asia, or Europe. Geography changes, it doesn't remain the same. Besides, it doesn't mean Europe or Asia is any better than the Middle East. We're all people.
                    I'm not embarressed, not ashamed... I just disagree... Is it so wrong to favour association with the Caucasus over Middle Eastern?

                    By the way, let me introduce you to a U.S. political term called The Greater Middle East:

                    The Greater Middle East is a political term used to refer to the Arab World together with Turkey, Iran, Israel, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Various Central Asian countries and the lower Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Georgia) are sometimes also included.

                    This expanded term was introduced in the summer of 2004 at a G8 summit by U.S. President, George W. Bush as part of a proposal for sweeping change in the way the West deals with the Middle East. This initiative was outlined around the Helsinki Accords from 1975.
                    This is interesting, thanks for bringing it to our attention...
                    This political term doesn't consider our position in the world culturally or historically, but in a purely independant geographical sense that is used for purposed of practical generalization. I have no problem with this.

                      Re: Armenian White Nationalism

                      No, I'm not getting emotional. I'm glad you have knowledge of anthropological theories, and I'm glad to see you intellectually chose to use "white" as a social term, which is probably the most reasonable and less risk thing to do with the term.

                      I don't like the model of Dravidian Indians being classified as Caucasians however, that is absurdity. I agree with Pakistanis being classified as Caucasians though, however, the "whites" in the middle east are different from the "whites" in Central Asia and Pakistan, and it is rare to find those types in Armenian populations, so it is not fair to give them large representation for our people (well, maybe in LA it is... I dunno).

                      I agree with Armenians being closely tied genetically to Persians and Middle Easterners in general. I never denied this... I was trying to illustrate this point by suggesting a model for stratification of whites in the Middle East (in a region based sense), so to find distributions that get darker as they near the Saudi desert, in hopes of pointing out the similarities between olive with skinned Armenians and olive white skinned Arabs.

                      Is this not agreeable to you?
