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.

    You said 'why do I care?' and in the above post I stated my reasons in Armenian. If you can't read it just let me know. Why is it such a big deal for you. If you can read Armenian then why did you ask that question and why are you so bent on not answering or even summarizing in Armenian. It's not that big of a deal if you can read and write in Armenian. If you don't know then just say it.

    For the record: If I understand you correctly, I am not - and I don't think that others are - dissing sev_zeytun; we are debating and disagreements - or occasional friction - are part of the game.
    Lets not dramatize it. But Thanks for the concern.

    I don't have to read other thread(s) for a reply! With all due respect, it is absurd.
    *repeats...again* I explained my reasons, I gave examples and I will have to continue to believe so....untill you show me otherwise.

    Explain yourself and show me how and why my understanding is wrong.

    I assure you that I did not "judge without reading the rest" and, if I missed anything, can you explain yourself and let me know what I have missed? Thanks..

    I did not say or imply that you are "in political'drugs' ," I simply implied that you seem to be under the influence - i.e. indoctrinated by - the "political drugs" - to use your terms - systematically and massively administered in certain countries - like the US. I explained my reasons, I gave examples and I will have to continue to believe so....untill to show me otherwise.

    Well, I think I need to clarify what I was talking about. I was only addressing the Armenian's living in Turkey.
    I have known many Armenians from TEMPORARILY SO CALLED Turkey, but I do not have enough exposure to agree or disagree with your statement - when limited to that particular community. However, I know that many of them would vehemently react, as if insulted, disfigured and vilified by your statement.

    I think that it is shameful that the Turkish people call the Armenians there 'invalids' and other insulting names. I was saying that if they show who they are and practice whatever bits and pieces of Armenian culture that they know (like a little bit of religion maybe), that, eventually they would be accepted as Armenians and that the Turks would soon realize that Armenians are not bad people and that their 'image' of Armenians is completely wrong. I was not saying that all Armenians should go the Turkey and live there or anything even close to that. By 'integration, and acceptance' I meant for those who live in Turkey (they can be accepted for who they are, not who they pretend to be).
    As Karo said, why do you care? Why does it matter what morally reprehensible intellectual midgets "think" of - and perceive - Armenians? I challenge you to name a SINGLE intelligent *urkish poster on this forum....And they are the cream of the *urkish "intelligentsia.

    Do you really think that a jerk - or, in this case, a Jurk - suddenly becomes sensitive and understanding when you take the time to explain? Please wake up and smell the *urk....it really stinks!

    As for an example (Siamanto), look at America in the early 1900's. There was a huge influx of southern and eastern Europeans and the Americans hated them a lot (nativists, so to speak). They tried everything to keep the immigrants out with the Emergency Quota Act and, later, the Immigration Act to keep them out as much as possible (don’t even get me started on the Asian population in America back them). But look at the immigrant populations now. The Americans do not mind that there are Russians, Italians, Greeks, Slovenians, Romanians, ect living right next door and they even like their culture and there is acceptance and mutual respect for one another. As for the whole 'we look the same' bit, I was only talking about body and facial structure. Do you think that a lot of the Turks who know these people or pass by them everyday knew that they were Armenians or had an Armenian background?
    Are you comparing the American Society - mainly inheriting from the European Culture - to the *urkish Society - mainly inheriting from the culture of Central Asian nomadic herds of thieves with a medieval mindset and simplistic model of the world?

    Are you out of your mind or still on drugs - the one commonly administered in the US to make believe that all human collectivities are comparable????? To consider the dangers of that drug, keep in mind that a majority of the American people - not leaders - agreed to the war in Iraq because they genuinely believed that democracy could be built. Yes, that drug allowed the leaders to manipulate them.
    Please wake up and smell the *urk....it really stinks!




    Note: I have chosen to auto censor the words "*urk," "*urkish" or *urkic" because it is commonly perceived as unpleasant and offending, evokes unpleasant emotions and imagery and is pregnant with immoral and evil connotations
