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.

    I do not understand why he supposedly got more credit than he deserved. I think everyone that was part of the civil rights movement at the time was very progressively minded. You have to think that MLK was assassinated for his ideas. That means those ideas were being expressed at a time when they were not accepted. Of course he deserves credit; his ideas were beautiful. It is not his fault that blacks today are still holding on to the victimization card and not integrating. The fact the Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd is one of the most dangerous streets to be on is ironic. It was most likely a result of other public figures drawing out the anger and the feeling of oppression without giving them a chance to fade. It may even be a mentality left over by those who listened to Malcom X...

    On Malcom X:
    Malcom X should be respected in the same way as MLK but I do not feel that it should be to the same degree. Both of them sought after a similar goal: power to black people. But their visions of what it should be was different. Malcom X spent most of his time trying to convert people to Islam and sought to give blacks power through the religion. But his mentality would have still kept blacks and whites serparate. He did not want for them to live harmoniously with eachother; he wanted them to be separate by telling them that this "world" was not theirs and they should not be part of it. MLK preached a unity and an equality that, at the time, was very unacceptable. That is the difference.

      I don’t blame you since Pasa's odd “humor” might have set the tone for my comment.

      What I meant was that blacks have had leaders of far greater Caliber than Martin Luther King, who are not getting the recognition they deserve. Martin Luther King is more of a sugar coated picture, that’s why Americans denote him synonymously with the black social revolution.
      I'm sorry..I didn't mean to put u in the same category as Pasa...but he deserves all the recognition he gets. To us, the other black leaders might not be getting recognition, but to the people who are affected most by them do recognize them. Just because one man is getting recognized, it doesn't take away from all the others. Malcom X didn't really give credit to the white people who were trying to make a difference. MLK Jr. did. He saw that they were not all "evil" and pushed blacks to integrate with whites, to all join together, in harmony...as Arvest said.
