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.

    What have the three of you done for Armenia and Armenian people beyond your parents making a donation. Enlighten us. Illuminate your contributions to Hai Tahd.
    When have I claimed to be "super Armenian" ... hmm ... maybe that is what you fail to see? My entire point has been in total agreement with your "feelings". Let me ask you, how many Americans donate money to the United States government outside of paying taxes? I would wager not even 1% of the Americans will donate money towards the government. My only objective has been to defend values. This is what nationalism is about, the state over anything else, essentially, your lifetime spent in the United States means that any progress you make for yourself, by default, is a progress for the state. You get married and have a family, you increase the population and pass down values. You get a education, you further the development of various spheres and deciplines. You eat, you pay another man for food. You work, your taxes go towards the state. You deficate, someone is paid to clean up your defication. The bottomline is, when you reside in a state, you provide the state with the tools to further its interests. It all boils down to elementary statistics. The Chinese have 1.5 billion in population, which means that, their top 20% intelligence comprises the entire United states population. You can replace the entire United States with Chinemen with a above average intelligence. Everything is a numbers game.

    Furthermore, you have to agree that Ara's immature antics would be considered unpatriotic and borderline offensive if you were to replace Armenian with American. The problem is just this my friend, you have been mentally conditioned by these demagogues into buying their propaganda of self-hate. The reality is that 100% of Ara's stance is offensive to any Armenian, but due to what ever reason, most find it "tolerable", maybe that is what you fail to understand? Again, no one is asking you to "donate money" or "fight wars", but for the love of God, defend some Armenian values, traditions, and history. What is the point of debating the "flaws" of Armenian leaders when history is never experienced but read? Meaning, whoever that controls the pen, controls what we read and therefore, at the core of any historical fact, is historical bias. Really, I could care less if the nationalist were napoleons or pawns, the reality is that today, we have a state, and today, it is in the unwritten laws of statehood to blow up previous leaders as heroes in order to preserve nationalistic feelings.

    And one more thing, the fundimental backbone of western political thought stems from Machiavelli and even he admitted that leadership has limits and the limitations are determined by the oppurtunities that a leader my encounter on his path towards "virtu" (virtue). What does that mean? Well, you read it and let me know, maybe I will tell you one of these days, but to be honest, I have had it to my neck with these demagogues, Ara to Stephan to "Jack Kevorkian", you want to play sculptor, please, go do it somewhere else.

    Apparently, Crusader1492 and Armenian fought for our first Republic of the 20th century or they have a Ph.D. in Modern Armenian history.

    Yes, between 1917 and 1920, freedom fighters fought against both Ottoman and Bolshevik rule and rifles were involved. These people were fighting for survival and to protect their property and family.
    This is a perfect example of where "hate speech" is useful. You see, when someone keeps up such a shameful and indefensible argument in the name of self-righteous conceit...well you get my point. Why belabor it...not only are you an creep, but you are an f'd up moron too.

    Oh and btw, if you think you have upset me, you did not. I would only get upset if I thought you were worth a damn.

    No, I was taught that rule of the Roman Empire was handed over to us on the battlefield.
