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.

    Oh good I think I may have misunderstood. I thought some of the posts were bashing education and getting degrees like PhD. But as long as that is not what you thnk, then we are in agreement.

    I don't think I agree here. By the same logic, should we do away with automation? Automation has certainly reduced the need for human labor.

    You forget that women that work also consume. The whole thing just becomes a much larger market. They can own property, invest, and produce as well. You make it sound like women entered the workforce and took chunk out of a static job market where in reality the entire economy just grew and grew. You have clothing and makeup industries that thrive entirely on women for example.

    In the old Amish lifestyles ... yah the women stayed home and they ate enough to stay alive and did the house work. But they also didn't spend on anything. They dididn't buy cars and luxuries. They did the slave work which basically meant you were getting a lot of work for "free" by exploiting a large segment of the population. Now that you can't exploit them anymore, it is actually another large job segment: Household cleaning, child care, cooking, shopping etc So no, I definitely don't agree that the women took jobs from men and reduced the big pie available to men. I would argue they added a lot more pie to the mix.

I can absolutely guarantee you once you are on your deathbed, you won't regret a second you spent in enlightening yourself ... regardless of who thought you were "over-qualified" for something at any given time.

    I rather die young being over-qualified than live a long boring life as an under-qualified or barely-qualified peon.
    There are a multitude of meaningful pursuits that don't require an 'advanced degree' from a university. Having a Ph.D. doesn't automatically make you a particularly useful person, in fact most of the time it's quite the opposite.

    And who here is hating on education? Just on people who use their education as some sort of qualification that gives them the ability to harp on issues that have nothing to do with their degree.

    Please do. In fact, say you are Jooish, it will fit better. They tend to have the crazy libs and feminazis in droves.

    You get an education in chemistry, you use that education to do research in Chemistry and do further work. It doesn't give you license to impose an agenda on people or demonise a traditional society's culture.

    We just don't want your Feminist/Liberal agenda imposed over Armenian society. We want our social foundation to be secure. The more people are informed about the dangers of this liberal agenda, the better prepared our new generation and youth are to continue our nation and society in a respectable way.

    I'm all for women's rights. I think that in the civil arena, women should have the same rights as men, not be subject to domestic violence, equal pay I get it. But once you start attacking masculinity solely because it is masculinity that is where I draw the line. I will not apologize for the set of anatomy I was born with, period. Any female that wants anything to do with me will understand that from the beginning, and they do.

    That being said, a lot of the 'women's lib' movement was a huge scam, and women don't even realize it. Pre-1950 a majority of women would stay at home, they would be so-called "homemakers'. Now at the time of the women's lib movement, women fought for the right for equal pay, advancement in the workplace, anti-discrimination which is all well and good until you ask yourself one thing: what happens to the value of labor once more people enter the workforce? It's a simple exercise in logic.

    So now that you had more people in the workforce the value of labor goes down, correct? And instead of having the choice whether to work or not in the past 30 years women have had to work because the average value of a salary has dramatically declined; its buying power is a lot less. Who do you think benefits from cheap labor? Who was behind the women's liberation movement, really...?
