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.

    Egyptian-Israel NG pipeline explosion

    Security officials say an explosion has hit the Egyptian pipeline that carries gas to Israel and Jordan. The Monday morning blast took place in the Sinai Peninsula, near town of El-Arish, which is just 30 miles (50 kilometers) from Israel. The Egyptian officials had no further details. There were no immediate reports of casualties. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media. The blast is the third to hit the strategic pipeline since an Egyptian uprising overthrew former President Hosni Mubarak in February. No one claimed to be behind the explosion. Bedouin tribesmen in the area have attacked the pipeline in the past.

      So what do people think? How will Armenia vote at the UN Palestinian bid? Will we use the Karabakh excuse not to vote, or will we vote like we recognise South Sudan? Turkey and Azerbaijan are known to be voting yes.

        Re: Free Palestine - The Struggle

        I believe we will vote FOR it because Russia announced recently that it will be voting this way.

        From my own quizzing of Palestinians, I think the majority of them are against this UN resolution anyway as they view entire Israel as their homeland and want to have a bi-national one-state solution instead of the two-state solution their unelected leaders - the Palestinian Authority - have been propagating this entire time. The main cause of concern is the status of the refugees living in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria etc. and their "right to return". They think a two-state solution will impair their "right to return" to areas of Israel from where they were deported.

          I believe that too, but the fact that we don't have diplomatic relations with Palestine and never recognised them before those raise some doubts (Russia does).

          Israel and Palestine being one state would be tricky, especially as Israeli Arabs are treated as second class citizens since they are not J3wish. Though maybe if you had a Federation it could maybe work?

                      Israel's position of power over Palestine is akin to a boy with a magnifying glass trying to burn ants. It can capture 1000 other Palestinians within a few months or it can kill 1000 other Palestinians within a couple of months (like the Gaza war/massacre from a few years ago).

                      Having said that, some of the names to be released were considered untouchables which surprised many. I guess the extremists currently in power in the Israeli government needed to score a victory as they have been growing deeply unpopular lately due to the economy and lack of updates on Shalit.

                      It's not the first time hundreds or thousands have been released in lopsided trades by Israel but this is the highest "price" it has payed over 1 POW soldier.
