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.

    Diversity creates numerous problems. It also helps ignore those problems. Hence it is a problem. How does diversity make it easier to make friends? Diversity for the sake of diversity is different from diversity for the sake of advancement of capitalistic agendas.

          It is an individual feeling. It is a good thing if someone want a diverse group of friends. If someone only wants friends of one ethnicity then it does not affect that individual.

            Individual doesn't mean universal. So you cannot generalize and say that diversity is a strength. To some it is, to many it isn't. Fact is, "diversity" has had such a horrible effect on Western society. That is exactly why countries like China, Japan, etc. do not encourage it. Not because they are not economically developed, after all, Japan is a very industrialized country..

                I can see how China is so much better off than the United States. The fact remains that the countries that have the most diversity are the ones that are most influential, namely the United States and France. Japan was created by the United States and is so overpopulate in the urban areas that it cannot afford to have a relatively loose immigration policy.

                  Not to mention that neither traditionalist Japan nor communist China would tolerate Dan's sexual orientation, yet he's busy admiring them.

                    That is irrelevant. I did not mean with regards to industrialization. I meant with regards to social problems.

                    Really... France is influential? I can see how successful France is society-wise, with the amount of stabbing Algerians do, and the amount of killing the Turks do in Germany and the Netherlands..... Besides, USA was on its way up long before there was any such thing as "diversity." The leader in word economy is Japan. Japan is not diverse.

                    Japan was created by the United States
                    Sure.. You know, I always wondered if they taught "delusion" at schools in USA. I guess they do...

                    is so overpopulate in the urban areas that it cannot afford to have a relatively loose immigration policy.
                    Really... like Toronto, you mean?

                      Lower overall standard of living is a social problem

                      The U.S. is able to attract talent from overseas partly because pople know they can come live here and be tolarated. This starts from cab drivers all the way up to scientists. Japan runs an admitted 300% debt over GDP, which makes the U.S. defecit look like the penny jar at 7-11.


                      Sure.. You know, I always wondered if they taught "delusion" at schools in USA. I guess they do...
                      The Japanse constitution was written by Gen. Douglas MacArthur and his staff during the occupation of Japan after WWII. The majorty of the constitution has not been changed to this day. 70% of Japanese inferstructure was destroyed by the end of WWII. Some of which was rebuilt during the American occupation.

                      Really... like Toronto, you mean?
                      Toronto has half the population density as New York or LA. I established that to Baron when we were arguing about population density, between U.S. and Canada.
