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.

    Our knowledge and overall conception of the Indo-Europeans has much evolved since that era, and so many of the theories and terms are considered obsolete by several scholars, including amateur ones such as myself, and so I cannot change this either :P

      That is a matter of opinion. That these languages exist and share substantial and formal relations is a matter of fact and hence 'Aryan languages' bears no hypothetical assumptions. This has nothing to do with evolution, unless you consider political correctness "evolution". It is still generally and universally accepted as a name for those languages. Just because politically correct "scholars" and "scientists" have filtered it out of their system and choose not to use it, and furthermore, go beyond that and ostracize those that do, means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

        ECOPSYCHOLOGY: Restoring the Earth, Healing the Mind (Eds., Brown, Hillman). 1995

        Preface to “Whiteness” chapter: Ecopsychology must face in its effort to redefine the meaning of ‘sanity.’ …the wisdom of a magical vision of nature that has all but vanished from the modern world…


        “There is a character in Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved, her name is Sethe. She can’t let herself remember the beauty of the plantation she escaped from because it is drenched in memories of slavery…

        I find the whole idea of ‘whiteness’ so interesting. About the time that slavery was introduced, the first English settlers called themselves ‘Christians,' and they called the populations that they encountered ‘pagan,’ or sometimes ‘savage. As more Europeans arrived…[the] environmental aspect of this social polarization was that people had to visualize the wilderness as being ‘empty.” (269)

        [Wilderness doesn't mean without people, but it does mean, to me, without industrial capitalism. In a hyper-techo-industrialized society like the US, though, WILDERNESS need to mean without anything to do with money...I've lived in many countries where wilderness and people are the same...in the US, that's rare. In the US it seems people thing in 0/1 terms... either wilderness or city... the in-between (farms and ghettos) becomes a toxic sludge of chemicals, while the city (most European) rich protect only wilderness... Wilderness is VERY important. But that, alone won't SAVE NATURE (AND HUMANITY) That was a rant that's time was due.... I didn't articulate that well, here, though. Later...]

        BLACK OR WHITE?

        This gets back to my points about how people are taught to think (and the language used to teach) gets translated into 'culture,' sometimes. WHITE. Anonymouse and I could go on about that word, along, for a long time. European... same thing.



        Hey Siggie, I very strongly recommend this book to you. Great new ideas are presented there (and scholars always love new ‘idea’ leads. My friend who is doctoral student in psychology thinks this a new ‘primary’ source/reference for theory. “Technology, Trauma and the Wild,” “Jungian Psychology and the World Unconscious,” “Shamanic Counseling and Ecopsychology, ”… gestalt, child development, therapy, and many more essays. There are so many new ideas in the field of psychology that you can’t help but find 100 more new ideas on your own, just reading it.

          Typocal post-modernist leftist egalitarian nonsense of how everything is "socially constructed".

          Judging by your opinions and views, to me you have clearly not studied history. I suggest you read some classical works and histories and less leftist egalitarian "social psychology" literature.

            You are funny, Anon. I most certainly have studied those. On what topic (within ANY of the topics you mention) should we start a thread to talk about some of this? You pick. I'm certain I can talk.

              I am glad I can amuse you.

              Why don't you pick something? I am feeling a bit lazy right now.

                Well, you mentioned social construction and also study of history... let's leave that open enough? Opinion and interpretation are just those... we've got lots of material!


                In case people are confused about this new thead (that they didn't read here)...

                  I'm confused, what are you trying to say? (as usual) Are you saying we take bits and pieces of different posts and post them as offerings of 'what we want to say'? Clarification is needed.

                    I didn't mean to confuse you. I said (about these topics above) that (you were not sure I studied, or I could talk about.) You suggested that I pick.. so I did (AND in a way that left all of this above, opinion, and other topics, open to discussion--though be certain I will give my opinion .)

                      If Armenians are so white and European, why are they always getting the xxxx kicked out of them in Moscow? Or Krasnodar?

                      All the Caucasians(misnomer obviously) are the same genetically, or very close.
                      Meaning those from the Caucasus. Many intermarriages between Armenians and
                      Azeris I've heard in the Soviet days, and Georgians, etc. I remember reading a story a while ago about a mixed Azeri female getting xxxx from her family just because she was a half-breed.
                      All the same xxxx. All cremated equally...
