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.

    Mexican deportations from US in 1930

    I found this subject very interesting. I was aware of the incredible anti-immigrant environment in the States during this time - but was not aware of the extent and the severity of measures taken against Mexicans and even Mexican Americans living in the States during this period. I find it interesting that while this is not common knowledge - and is not normally reported in history books - there has been talk of apology and reparations...

    Don't know whatever came of this - Republicans said no it seems...

    SB 670 - Dunn * Mexican repatriation program of the 1930s.

    BILL NUMBER: SB 670 - INTRODUCED

    BILL TEXT

    INTRODUCED BY Senator Dunn
    FEBRUARY 22, 2005

    An act relating to Mexican repatriation.

    LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

    SB 670, as introduced, Dunn. Mexican repatriation program of the
    1930s.

    This bill would enact the "Apology Act for the 1930s Mexican
    Repatriation Program" and make findings and declarations regarding
    the unconstitutional removal and coerced emigration of United States
    citizens and legal residents of Mexican descent, between the years
    1929 and 1944, to Mexico from the United States during the 1930s
    "Mexican Repatriation" Program.

    The bill would express the apology of the State of California to
    those individuals who were illegally deported and coerced into
    emigrating to Mexico and would require that a plaque be placed and
    maintained in a public place to commemorate this event.

      Guess what - this is all described in great detail in my kids 7th grade history book...even says up to 500,000 Mexicans left - etc - and that Politicians and labor unions were calling for their ouster (though does not detail the hate speach and racial slurs and such that were used...)

      His book is "The American Journey - Reconstruction to the Present." - Glencoe/McGraw Hill 2005..page 738.

      I'm impressed.

      OK Turks - your turn to show your mature/civilized/empathetic etc...up to the challenge?
