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.

    Originally posted by Baron Dants Well yeah. He DID raise some interesting points. This being one of them. It doesn't seem to matter if Americans own guns or not, because they're bothered by a completely different issue.
    I recommend you read Culture of Fear. Good book really.

    But that is how the State remains in control by producing ever more fear objects. You fear this you fear that, creating a myriad of laws, so that no matter what you do, you cannot help but break a law.

      As for the reason why the U.S. has a big crime rate, well that ignores an integral part of the U.S. and its "diversity" by cramming and forcing many different cultures and peoples with differing beliefs and a country that is based on fear and the production of fear, the millions of laws in existence and the welfare state that breeds crime, so literally you cannot not do anything that won't be a crime you find yourself a criminal no matter what, even if its protecting your property with a gun. There are many factors that go into it.
      If you need to pump 6 bullets out per second to defend yourself then you are a xxxxty shot and don't belong anywhere near a firearm. The individual you like so much can't wipe their butt without leadership. No one does anything on their own, except Ted Kazinksy. Your hero.

          Yes, I do intend to read it soon. I was very intrigued by the whole thing. I just started reading "downsize this" two days ago, but interrupted it with the book I was hoping to get for Christmas, by the Greek ambassador to Armenia.

          I will let you know how I find the book.

            in Texas everyone and there grandma has a gun on them, no one messes with the other LOL


            as for knowing how to use a gun or a situation, i agree fully with you.

            having a gun for more power is not always a good thing, but in other situations it is.

            it matters on the person who is controlling it, and for what reason etc

              Like I said, who are you to decide what an individual can or can't have? Once again they may be a xxxxty shot but that is not up to you. You get your own.

              But then again, it is because of people like you that the State is now a life unto itself, and because of you that more laws would be created. So what law would you create now <Mr. Eggplant>?

                Don't fall for that Micheal Moore crap. What was funny to me that he compared the number of shootings in Canada with the number of shooting in the U.S. which is silly since Canada only has 24 million people in it. That's less people than my tri-state area. And the more even distribution of income is probably a factor. I want to see the % of fatalities from guns compare to the total population.

                  Oh and knowing how to pull the trigger is not knowing how to use a gun. When you are talking about self defense we are taking about taking another persons life, its easy to say that we can do it but when its time to do can you.

                  The problem is not just guns. There have always been guns in America. The problems are the people, the American culture. Take Canada for example they have guns but they do not have the gun problem that we have in the US.

                    When some 16 year old kid throws a hand grenade in your window cause he thinks it's funny, you'll have second thoughts.

                      There are laws now against such things, yet they happened didn't they? So what was the point of a law, the kids won't understand that. Besides, what you mentioned is somethign that is so rare that I wouldnt worry about it. How many people have died by kids throwing grenades via the window? I am far more afraid of the State having guns than kids. Your logic makes no sense.
