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.

    Government should have no say in what individuals choose to do with their personal lives.

    This is precisely what I mean how government structures our thinking.

      First of all I wanna say that I've been to Sweeden and you guys have a lovely little country going.

      But back to the topic, I am totaly against homosexuals raising children. The laws of nature supercede any of equality gone too far laws that are passed in some places.
      A child needs a female role model and a male role model to grow up with. Otherwise that child will grow up to be a disfunctional adult.

        While I agree with you, that is not the role of government to interfere in the private lives of people.

          The role of government has never been to protect anything or anyone except its own interests, and to usurp.

          There is no where, where it is stated what government is supposed to do exactly and objectively, it just does what it wants, as long as it protects its interests.

          As far as "family structures" well the whole "nuclear family" is a modern creation. There was no "nuclear family" during the Indo European migrations, or during Late Antiquity. There was a traditional model of the man woman and child relationship but that was very lax and often men would leave for war in the army, or have many wives, or simply die, and the woman would be left alone to raise the child.

          "The government should step in", give them an inch and they take miles. Who are you two decide what other individuals in their private lives do? If what they do is restricted to their lives and their property then you, by all logical means, have no right to tell them what to do. As soon as you start to do so, then you have politics. As much as I disagree with two fairies adopting and raising a kid, I am much more in tune to protecting a higher ideal, that of self responsibility and self direction of the individual, not govenrment meddling in the private affairs of individuals. Government is a bigger threat to your security and privacy than a bunch of xxxs. Then you will have government telling other people how to regulate others, such as people who choose to film porno in their house, or government saying that left handed people cant have drivers licenses, or fat people must be allowed to adopt as many children as they can since they are fat so they must have alot of food to give to orphans.

          No sorry, I disagree.

            I'd have to agree with you on this one. Why should the government dictate how a family is raised? We are not conditioned robots who should follow in the path of government’s righteousness. The choice should be left upon parents. Who says that heterosexual parents are not responsible for the traumatized lives of abused children? Or how many heterosexual parents abandon their children daily? Independent of the gender of the parents it is the love and values they instill in their family that counts. Many single parents raise their children well, apparently just as successfully without an investment of the opposite gender parent. To each her/his own all that matters is love, everything else is irrelevant.

              Hi thank you for your answer!

              U r right about those heterosexual familys that abuse children physical,mental,sexual.... it it terrible... However we can not be sure that homosexual familys would not do the same , it is the human nature,, we are so different , and you never now what to expect from each other.
              I realy don't know, it a difficult subject. I don't think that gay people choose to be gay, i belive that they are born so.. Do you think that someone will choose by him self a life fool of problems, a life in sociaty where u are not accepted ... i mean it's hard for them.
              But i am also worry about the child, who'll be grown in a "strange" family... it would we very interesting to ask the child how does it feel to have 2 moms or 2 dads...... eh...

                Because morality is subjective and each of us has a different version of what we should do with our lives and how we should raise our kids, it seems illogical trying to get government to intervene or to legislate morality.

                That's just guano!

                  Actually Artsakhtsi, we are all outcasts in a way. Many of us have secrets and demons that are abnormal to the surface of the society, but we choose to conceal them in fear of being ridiculed by the majority who is also hiding their own demons. I don’t believe that there is an ideal way to raise a family, it is a very subjective principle. Ideal doesn’t exist, so one should not worry about satisfying standards of others. And prejudice is everywhere in each one of us, either way people are vicious about picking on other peoples misfortunes. All you have is the ability to say xxxx it and live your life the way you want, and give your kids an opportunity to do the same with tons of love and support, everything is secondary.

                    Wow, I never thought I'd say this but...that was a very lucid post.
