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.

Re: Why? Why?! Why??!!
like my grandma always said, "inch yeghav ays seroontuh?" just what you described above regarding your niece happened to me. i was "trained" in the states. this mentality, "no matter how many Armenian role models", was ingrained into me via (yes, you hit it on the head) media in general (tv, film, music, videos, internet) and my social environment (i.e. peers). they are very influential and will change your behavior on a subconscious level. the final bastion of hope lies within the family unit maintaining it's cohesiveness and realizing the threat potential of these seemingly-harmless ideas. it only becomes more of a challenge when today both parents are working, families are geographically more separated, and the elders are degenerating and becoming demented earlier which ultimately leaves the children being babysat by either the tv or a nanny who really doesn't care. it's just sad.Last edited by armogrid; 09-22-2010, 10:19 PM.

i will kick this thread off with [drum roll]:
Willow Smith and her terrible new song "Whip My Hair". so what if she's will smith's daughter? she's definitely just a repackaging of the now-defunct rihanna (sounds, looks, dances, etc.). btw, this song gave me a headache in less than one-third of a second. willow's a 9 year-old with the education of a 5 year-old (i'm being nice), using language resemblant of a text message, and with lyrics that don't even make sense. worse, she's giving life lessons to today's youth and the "ladies".
i can see it now, with parents saying, "why is little vartanik/vartanoush so char?" why can't he/she just focus on their studies, on the future, on doing paree things?
yeah, when i was 9 years-old, i definitely was looking to keep the party jumpingi was also using my young mojo to convince adults that i had it all figured out and, if they liked my ideas, they should do as i do.
well, i guess will smith was right... after the youth begin to "whip it" to garbage like this, parents just won't understand.
