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: Armenian lesbians/gays

    I don't understand where the question of emasculation came into play here. No one is asking anyone to give up their balls, and that's pretty much the sole thing that defines what a man is. That is IT. Any other definition is arbitrary.

    That eliminates the risk to lenders, not to borrowers. At least that's the way it works in Canada.

    I understand many of you are anti-west. But one of the most disturbing things about the west that I see very clearly being demonstrated here is this sheer anti-intellectualism that is so rampant in the media and the culture. Someone makes the mistake of mentioning she, God forbid, has some sort of post-secondary degree and some of you blow a gasket trying to instantly dig a hole and dump her in it.

    It is the same with Global Warming, evolution, social sciences, medical sciences, nutrition, etc ... it is as if it is entirely irrelevant whether one is talking to an educated expert or the dumb-ass curator of the "Creation Museum".

    At least the traditional Armenians tend to value education and the educated. That is one of the aspects of our culture I hope we never lose.

    This is just sad

    When we look at Armenia during the Soviet days we can see that two income families was the norm and only now the idea of woman should stay home is coming up, I don't think many people could imagine something like this in the SU because there the state said that you had to work.
    So again I'm wondering where does the idea that single income family is the norm in the world because for most of our modern history it hasn't been the norm, especially during WWI and WWII.

That actually dates back to the early industrial revolution or even before the urbanization of the Western Nations. So the one income family has been for such a short period of time in our modern history but for some reason it is still sticking around.

The problem is she is being told to STFU and get back in place. THAT is the real problem (that's why I call it slavery). I have no problem otherwise if a woman and a man willingly enter into such an agreement.
    No body is telling her to STFU. The reason I see Armenians not being able to compete with immigrant Indian or Chinese families IS because everyone in their family makes a contribution. Indians are notorious for having hard science degrees. You think one man in the west can make the income of an Indian or Chinese immigrant family? Basically, what many westernized Armenian women want is to live their life carefree under their parents roof then expect somebody else to flip the bill when they want to move out. Well the world is changing and that western model is outdated. Education does not equal income.
