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.

    William and Kate's trip to Canada and California

    Duke and Duchess start Canada trip

    Thursday, 30 June 2011

    The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are beginning their first overseas tour as a married couple visiting Canada and California.

    William and Kate's arrival in the Commonwealth country is eagerly anticipated and their appearance later in the capital, Ottawa, is expected to draw thousands on to the streets.

    The royal couple will one day be King and Queen of Canada and their trip will be closely followed by the media and public alike.

    They will travel to seven cities during their nine-day visit meeting a diverse array of Canadians and getting to grips with the challenges and excitement of being on tour.

    Almost 1,400 journalists, broadcasters and photographers from across the globe, including just short of 100 from the UK, will be covering the visit - 500 more than those who accredited for the Queen's visit last year.

    Highlights of the trip will include Canada Day, celebrated on Friday, when the Duke and Duchess will join hundreds of thousands of people in Ottawa - many dressed in the national colours of red and white - to celebrate the nation.

    On Prince Edward Island the royal couple will play starring roles on opposing vessels during a dragon boat race and will be given the task of steering their team-mates to victory across a lake.

    Their visit to Calgary coincides with the start of the world famous Calgary Stampede - a legendary annual rodeo, exhibition and festival dubbed the "Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth" which they will start.

    The cost to the Commonwealth nation of flying the couple around in a Canadian Forces Airbus and staging federal events is estimated at 1.5 Canadian dollars, but does not include the bill for security.

    The Duke and Duchess will tour Canada under a new royal flag, unveiled yesterday and created in celebration of their visit. The banner is Williams' personal flag but will come to symbolise the couple as it flutters from the luxury limousines used to drive them around or from the roofs of buildings they are visiting.

    Not everyone is happy, including these:

    Quebec protesters hire bodyguards for royal visit

    The Canadian Press
    Posted: Jun 27, 2011 6:14 PM ET

    A fringe Quebec pro-independence group is hiring dozens of burly security guards for a protest planned for Prince William and Kate's upcoming visit to la belle province.

    But the head of the Quebec Resistance Network insists his organization hasn't employed the imposing chaperones to clash with law enforcement.

    Instead, Patrick Bourgeois says the bruisers will be there to ensure next week's scheduled demonstration doesn't get out of control.

    He says the guards were hand-picked based on brawn.

    "Even myself, if they tell me what to do — they're so big that I'm going to listen to them," Bourgeois told The Canadian Press in an interview Monday.

    "We chose them based on build. There's no one in there who's 100 pounds soaking wet."

    Bourgeois said protest organizers plan to cause civil disobedience during the royal visit — but no violence.

    The group is expecting 300 protesters in the streets to denounce the monarchy during the royal couple's July 3 visit to Quebec City.

    Bourgeois said his organization has hired around 40 imposing security guards for the event to keep radical protesters from making the situation ugly.

    "If some moron shows up and provokes police – and is at the same time imperilling our plan and the safety of our supporters – we're definitely going to ensure this person is booted out of our demonstration," he said.

    Bourgeois' organization led a rowdy anti-monarchy demonstration in 2009 during a visit to Montreal by Prince Charles and Camilla.

    The protest delayed their arrival at a military ceremony by about a half-hour, and Charles and Camilla had to enter through a back door because of the raucous demonstators.

    The group, known in French as the Réseau de résistance du Québécois, has also helped block the planned 2009 re-enactment of the Battle of the Plains of Abraham and has protested the performance of Anglo songs at Quebec's Fête nationale holiday.

    At the time of the Fête nationale protest, other audience members heckled the demonstrators.

          Federate, when you are dealing with royalists you need to be extremely careful.

          This is what happened to anti-royalist Cromwell (25 April 1599 – 3 September 1658) and his fellow regicides (-King killers).



          Posthumous execution - Wikipedia
          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_posthumous_executions


          A number of the regicides of Charles I of England had died before the Restoration of King Charles II.

          Parliament passed an order of attainder for High Treason on the four most prominent deceased regicides:
          John Bradshaw the court president, Oliver Cromwell, Henry Ireton and Thomas Pride.[3]

          The bodies were exhumed and the first three were hanged, drawn and quartered at Tyburn.

          The most prominent was the former Lord Protector Cromwell, whose body — after said "punishment" — was thrown, minus its head, into a common pit.

          The head was finally buried in 1960.

          The body of Pride was not "punished" perhaps because it had decayed too much.
          Of the regicides still alive then, some were executed and others either fled or were imprisoned.
          Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
          Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
          Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests
