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 According to Moore's statistics (which I will trust because he would be an idiot to give false stats in his doc), the ethnic makeup isn't much different in Canada.

    What I found very interesting were stats that our sociology professor presented to us last semester. Obviously, I don't remember the exact figures, but it went something like this.

    In USA, black americans form 12% of the population, and 35 (or more, I don't remember) of the prison population.

    In Canada, they form around 6% of the population, and 4% of the prison population.

    Also, on the population density aspect, I will have to disagree. Most Canadians live in the Quebec City/Windsor axe, which is just as dense as the States. In fact, the crime rate is much higher in the aboroginal population, who are a small number on a very large territory (all that reaaally cold part nobody goes to).
    I think the ethnic makeup is much more diverse in the states. I will look that up. And a growing part of the prison population of California are Armenians.

      Originally posted by Anonymouse I think its people that come from xxxxed up families not egos that end up the way they are.

      I see this all the time. Many Armenian immigrants come here, their parents open up a business, make money, forget about their kids, and just buy a car, give it to them, their kids grow up xxxxed up. I went to an innner city high school, full of mexicans, asians and armenians. I saw this xxxx all the time.
      i see spoiled 16 year old armenian kids with bmw's and benz driving around, unmannered brats.

      it doesnt matter what you have or drive, you are still low class and vulgar :P

      money doesnt make the person


      i blame the families more, i agree. Its the way they are raised, or not raised at all.The quality of families are becoming less and less everyday.

        Then income distribution will have to be the winner.
        But sorry to dissapoint you. At its densest Canada has 3,900 people/square km, While New York City avarages a whopping 14,000 people/square km. Here's some links:

          good thread here lotus. i have to agree that people should be allowed to own guns. and at the same time i also think that there should be certain restrictions. i think you guys already hashed out most of the views and ideas on this so i guess theres not much more to say.

            I really can't say on this one, You ban guns and like lotus said they will find an alternative way to harm others, You dont ban guns and they harm one another with them. So either way you arnt really taking the violence away. Good thread Lotus.

                I have a strange fascination with guns. They scare me for obvious reasons but they are pretty hot looking as material things go. Shiny metal, oooh. Ever time I find myself around a cop with a gun in his holster I have the urge to touch it. Is that werid? Maybe I should get checked out by a doc, but then again maybe I'm not alone??? I've seen some pretty nice guns out there that just make me feel things maybe a GUN shouldn't make me feel. Ermmm, yeah. That said, I agree with this whole guns don't kill people, people kill people business, but I also believe a lot of people out there should never EVER be allowed near a gun. Ever. So maybe they should be banned except for at the shooting range and places where you go to hunt. Anyway, what do I know about these things......

                    So am I sick in the head, or is it ok that I want to touch it??





                    Another things about guns... A lot of the time people end up getting hurt by their own guns. I don't know the exact statistic but I know that's true....
