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: Consequences Of Attacking Iran And Why Tehran Is Not Worried

    Dear Eddo and KanadaHye,

    The above article is quite scary. Wow the lingo is all propaganda and pushing for war. This guy is saying with belief that Iran wants to control the world (Oh my God what a propaganda)? I don't believe whatsoever that Iran wants to control the world - it's really crazy to even say it.

    I'm afraid KanadaHye it's more likely greed on Israel's part than a mere sinister plot to mess with the markets and oil prices by playing on the fear and greed of people.

    It is indeed a very scary situation however. I'm also afraid of our Republic that is so near to all of this.

      Oh yes, Iran wants to control the world when the Pentagon currently owns or rents over 700 overseas bases in about 130 countries and HAS another 6,000 bases in the United States and its territories. Like you said, it's really crazy to even say it.

      The worldwide total of U.S. military personnel in 2005, including those based domestically, was 1,840,062 supported by an additional 473,306 Defense Department civil service employees and 203,328 local hires. Its overseas bases, according to the Pentagon, contained 32,327 barracks, hangars, hospitals, and other buildings, which it owns, and 16,527 more that it leased. The size of these holdings was recorded in the inventory as covering 687,347 acres overseas and 29,819,492 acres worldwide, making the Pentagon easily one of the world's largest landlords.

      These numbers, although staggeringly big, do not begin to cover all the actual bases we occupy globally. The 2005 Base Structure Report fails, for instance, to mention any garrisons in Kosovo (or Serbia, of which Kosovo is still officially a province) -- even though it is the site of the huge Camp Bondsteel built in 1999 and maintained ever since by the KBR corporation (formerly known as Kellogg Brown & Root), a subsidiary of the Halliburton Corporation of Houston.

      The report similarly omits bases in Afghanistan, Iraq (106 garrisons as of May 2005), Israel, Kyrgyzstan, Qatar, and Uzbekistan, even though the U.S. military has established colossal base structures in the Persian Gulf and Central Asian areas since 9/11. By way of excuse, a note in the preface says that "facilities provided by other nations at foreign locations" are not included, although this is not strictly true. The report does include twenty sites in Turkey, all owned by the Turkish government and used jointly with the Americans. The Pentagon continues to omit from its accounts most of the $5 billion worth of military and espionage installations in Britain, which have long been conveniently disguised as Royal Air Force bases. If there were an honest count, the actual size of our military empire would probably top 1,000 different bases overseas, but no one -- possibly not even the Pentagon -- knows the exact number for sure.

        Thanks for all the information KanadaHye, I didn't know all these numbers. The US really takes control of the world, doesn't she? Democratically mind you.

The world leaders should be working towards disarming themselves instead of playing the "my nuke is bigger than yours" game. And we all know who those nations are. Let me give you a hint. Haiti isn't one of them.

          I consider any nation with nukes as terrorists.
          Then you believe that France, The United Kingdom, India, Pakistan, United States, Russia are all terrorists. What planet are you on again? Also no one wants to give away their nukes and never will.

            Kanada, some years ago I was on holiday in northern Scotland (beautiful land) and trekking through a forest close to the coast happened to come across a chain-link fence topped with barbed wire, walking round to try to get past this I came to signs warning trespassers. This facility was stated as US Coast Guard. (!!???!!)

                I know what planet I'm on... and I'd like to see it have a future. I know which countries are responsible for oppressing the weaker countries. I'm not comfortable living in a world where everyone is controlled, are you??

                It is reassuring to find all those elements in over 130 countries

                    Just Armenia does, thanks to the likes of Serzh and Edward.

                      I am an internationalist KanadaHye, that could only come with a democratic world government. But right now that seems impossible. Who would give up nuclear weapons in a world where a nation could develop them and hold the world to ransom. Do you suggest we remove the nuclear weapons and wait for a North Korea to nuke us? I think not. True Nuclear disarmament can only happen in a rational world dedicated to peace and I don't see that happening this century if not the next.
