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'm going to guess that in you opinion, parenting involves complete control of an adolescent's life, especially the girls.

      And the other thing that's horrible is when mothers-in-law become resentful of having to raise their son's children (because they resent their daughters in law, for any number of reasons), and they do a cr@ppy job of it.
      The world we have today is the result of Fathers working and Mothers raising the kids. The world we'll have tomorrow will be more balanced seeing that Fathers are more involved in their kids lives. Let's see which gives better results.

        As long as the adolescent isn't providing for themselves, yes. My house, my rules. Feel free to leave... there is the door.

          Teen pregnancy would also not happen if parents took sex education upon themselves rather than leaving it for schools to handle. By this I mean age-appropriate conversations about sex and sexuality from early on. Both my kids (8 & 6) are aware of how babies are made and how they are born. They ask questions freely and we answer honestly, but with language that makes sense to them. When they are ready, we will talk about contraception with them. By the time my daughter becomes sexually active, presumably long before she is ready to marry or settle with a partner of either gender (I will welcome whomever she loves and who loves her with open arms, regardless of race, gender, religion), she will know all about the function of her cl;toris, and that she is in great part responsible for her own orgasms. And yes, should my daughter, despite my best efforts, become pregnant, I will support her in obtaining a safe abortion. Similarly with my son, he will be very aware of how to be a loving partner to another human being, all about the female genital anatomy (provided, of course, he orients toward women), and how to work with it. All of this by simply keeping communication lines open and receiving questions and answering them without shaming or judgment. They will both know, by direct exposure, what it is like to have a totally dependent other human being, aka a baby.

          Humans have sex. That's what they do. They do it because the survival of the species depends upon sex being a powerful and pleasurable experience.

            Let me guess. That's how your parents did it, and you turned out just fine, right?

                What kind of moron would leave an Armenian household. Even my odar friends knew where to go when they were hungry.

                    Well, if that's how you want to see it, then that's how it is.

                      I don't know... I had some Italian friends growing up, and some Greek friends, and one or two Georgian friends later on, and they could all give any Armenian household a run for its money.

                      Also, even though I am, as Mos would put it, of the Enlightened camp, I spend majority of my time in the kitchen cooking for my family, and my kids' friends already recognize me as the go-to mom for good eating.

                      Being a feminist and strong advocate for women's and girl's rights and development does not preclude me from being warm and loving mother. On the contrary, given that my husband and I are perceived by the kids as warm, caring, fun-loving, and respectful of their needs, my sense is that we're never quite going to have an empty nest.
