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.

    No, first we have to recognise the Armenian genocide to satisfy Sip. Then pay money to Tom Servo, then give eastern Turkey to Anonymouse.

        Yes it does. To forgive means that the wrong is made right and therefore, there is no longer a wrong. There's a difference between "forgive" and "moving on".

          That isn't how I understand forgive. Call it moving on. It is the concept, more than the word that I'm talking about. I'm just offering some advice that good for your health and happiness--you don't have to take it.

          Always forgive your enemies--nothing annoys them more.--Oscar Wilde

          Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.--John F. Kennedy

          Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heal that has crushed it.--Mark Twain

          To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.--Robert Muller

          To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.--Lewis Smedes

            Ah. So, now with this new understanding, the question can be rephrased, will the Armenians move on? AND, by doing that, we let the Turks win by just letting it go and okaying all they have done, and THAT action is simply one I cannot forgive.

              maybe turks can admit genocide and recognize but i don't think they'll give any $$$ or lands..they're fighting/occupying anatolia hundreds of years. if we compare Turkish-Armenian population it's almost impossible.
              Can 3.000.000 populated Armenia really get any size of land from 80.000.000 Populated Turkey? After all, there are 30.000.000 Kurdish people in that 80.000.000...

                No. I am saying that by not forgiving (internally, in your own mind), you are killing yourself slowly. That is genocide ongoing. Why let the vile act continue to kill Armenians one by one, from within?



                "We often think of forgiveness as something that someone who has done us wrong must ask of US. There is always another way of looking at something. My thoughts on forgiveness suggest that you focus on offering forgiveness TO the person who has wronged you. To not forgive them is like taking the poison (continuing to suffer for what they did or didn't do to you) and expecting THEM to die!

                Alexander Pope once said, "To err is human; to forgive, Divine." Believe it!

                Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself. It is not something you do FOR someone else. It is not complicated. It is simple. Simply identify the situation to be forgiven and ask yourself: "Am I willing to waste my energy further on this matter?" If the answer is "No," then that's it! All is forgiven.

                Forgiveness is an act of the imagination. It dares you to imagine a better future, one that is based on the blessed possibility that your hurt will not be the final word on the matter. It challenges you to give up your destructive thoughts about the situation and to believe in the possibility of a better future. It builds confidence that you can survive the pain and grow from it.

                Telling someone is a bonus! It is not necessary for forgiveness to begin the process that heals the hurt. Forgiveness has little or nothing to do with another person because forgiveness is an internal matter..."

                    Anahita, you really need to answer Quartaria's question...but I would understand why you wouldn't - you lose either way:
                    If you say "yes I forgive them", than you look like a stupid a s s hole. If you say "no I don't" forgive them, than you look like a hypocrite.

                    Again - just go away

                      And to satisfy me, you can take my right hand, wrap it around your neck and choke yourself.
