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.

    Re: Equality for Women

    It's a sticky slope to tread on no matter what the actual problem is, when we start focusing on "men vs. women" - the second you try to generalize, spontaneously someone will have a counter-argument.

    It should be, idealistically, per person. however, there are too many factors... and frankly, too many people to keep track of. At the DMV, your options for your driving record are: the last 3 months, or the last 3 years. Did you know, you're supposed to report your accident to the DMV? Odd, it seems -- i'd think they'd get a copy of your police report, considering your license's on the claim. Why does this occur though? Because that'd be too much paperwork to keep track of. Too many risks of letting someone see your information that it was not intended for.

      In Italy it is per person, and it's based on the individual's traffic offense and health records. With the only exception of the Southerners, who pay - especially in cities like Naples or Palermo - higher prices than in the rest of the country, because of the higher rate of vehicle theft. Even if their record is immaculate.

        Because child care only involves only one act at only one time.

        I did ask a question that you didn't answer.

          You asked an if and then question. If the "IF" condition isn't met then there is no "THEN".

            Thanks for the review of conditional statements.
            So you're saying women are never the primary caregiver. Got it.

              Your question was "If it's mostly women who are the primary caregivers, then isn't it proper for them to have custody?"

              You're basing laws on generalization, custody shouldn't have to be "fought". It should be joint unless there is abuse involved or one of the parents doesn't want custody, however lawyers couldn't make as much money if that was the case.

                Also, this is tangential, and I'm not trying to change the topic of discussion here, but I always hear guys talking about the unfairness of custody rulings... Has anyone actually looked at the law? I have not, but I wonder if the law itself favors women (unjustly) or if it's just that the application of the law favors women for proper reasons. E.g. If it's mostly women who are the primary caregivers, then isn't it proper for them to have custody? I think most of these cases actually award joint custody so both parents have rights, but the children just live with the mothers primarily.
                Apparently I need to spell this out...

                I believe in most cases they do award JOINT custody. Each arrangement/situation is different and judges have discretion.

                If a woman is the primary caregiver, should the child live with her as the primary residence? I.e. that should be home during the week and while in school? I'm saying yes, this is fair. If the law agrees with me, then to the extent that on average mothers tend to be the primary caregiver, then children will on average be placed with the mother.

                You are getting upset saying the law favors women, but you haven't even bothered to look at whether or not that is the case. Do most men even request that their children reside with them primarily? Notice the question is not do they want custody of their child... These are separate issues. I think you're looking at whether the child lives with mom most of the time or not and calling that "custody" in the wrong sense. I am simply pointing out some things you should consider before making up your rigid mind.

                  Most men can't afford to fight custody battles since they can range anywhere up to $50,000 so they have no choice in the matter. Try hiring a lawyer for the simplest offense, they'll charge you $1000 for breathing air in their office.

                    Re: Equality for Women

                    Uh-huh and most women by contrast with their lower average salaries, can fight for sole custody.
                    Try to find some actual numbers. You have your belief (and you seem to feel strongly about it); how about how this stuff is. why not actually search for evidence to see if it supports your belief?

                      How many guys you want lined up in front of you that got screwed by the system? I don't need numbers made up by fake "organizations".
