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.

    And much more interesting research: Kevork Bogosian and Ferhat Kentel made a research about how two societies see each other:


    Important note: According to me, these results doesnot imply that Armenians have more prejudice. Because, the only "enemy" for Armenian nationalistic imagination is Turk. His/her identity is formed by this hate and it is based on persecution, especially Genocide. On the other hand, Turkish nationalistic imagination is so rich to produce "enemies" (Greek, Western powers, Arabs, Kurds and Turkish opponents...) and not persecuted dismissing the 'fact' that Turks suffered Armenian bands.
    The sad thing Arda is that many young people worldwide have little ideas of history, geography and other important social subjects. I think we've a couple or more youngsters, both Armenian and turk, here who buck that trend and show a maturity of view in advance of their years. (even if sometimes, as with us all, they become impetuous)
    Do you think that when people are asked questions in a survey that they answer the way they think they should rather than the way they truly think?

      I got and totally agree. But in that case, mustn't we be more careful when describing a totality; a people, a country, a religion etc.?

          Agree.

            What do you think about Turks/Armenians?

            Turks
            Negative: 30.8 %
            Very negative: 6.6 %

            Armenians
            Negative: 47.2 %
            Very negative: 27.8 %

            "I don't marry with a Turk/Armenian", do you agree?

            Turks
            Yes: 68.1 %

            Armenians
            Yes: 94.1 %
            Well there are some very obvious objective reasons for Armenians to hate turks, what is the reason for turks to hate Armenians?
            Just ignorance and state propaganda.

              Well that exactly what I mean: if 73% are ignorant , than the rest 22% are aware and just hypocrites. The rest is a 1% of honest and educated people.

              No scientific survey, just personal experience

              And yes it is not funny, but what we supposed to do: cry?

                In that case, personal experience means fallacy; appeal to personal anectode or hasty generalization.

                  It's quite obvious that the biggest reason for the appointment of the man is the war in Iraq, and the fact that 60% of our supplies and munitions go through Turkey.

                      If you don't have any evidence and you propose "x % of Patagonians are ignorant and y % of them are hypocrite and only 1 % of them well-educated", also if you are only based on undefinable 'personal experience', it is nothing than fallacy.
