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.

          well in that case you should take it up with the government and not with me, as I'm sure you know I have no authority in such matters

            Well I was talking about women's reaction to such a bill. I meant to say that so many women b*tch and whine about equal rights and insist that women are equal to men on all grounds (even physical), yet when the time comes and things don't look good for them, they say, oh, see, we're different, we have all sorts of stuff happening to us already, like pregnancy, yada yada yada. That's hypocrisy. I'm talking about that. That wasn't necessarily aimed at you though.

              In a country like Armenia, there is no other choice than to have the draft (for now at least), as the risk of war is still very present. But in the States, where the army is used to conquer more than to defend, I find it useless.
              I disagree. I think it serves to harden up the population and allows people that are benefiting from the state to contribute to it also. I believe that in some ways it will do away with the ignorance of the average American and allow them not only to understand what is going on in the world but also what the US's role is and what it takes to hold on to the amount of power the US has worldwide right now. I mean I myself completely disagree with the war in Iraq, but i believe that if i was an American i would be crazy not to support the war. It is very clearly in the interests of the US, and people who do not understand why Bush attacked Iraq must be blind

                The draft might, but the argument of who gets to serve in it is irrelevant. Obviously, if there is going to be a draft, both men and women should serve.
                This wasn't about the draft, this was about the draft in light of the War on Terrorism, especially in Iraq, in light of the American empire spread thinly across the globe and battling "terrorists" on a world scale and different theatres.

                  Michael Imperioli, let's not get ahead of ourselves. First you state you disagree with the war on Iraq, then you say people who don't understand why Bush attacked my be blind, you just made yourself be put in that label. Let's get one thing straight, this war is not in U.S. interest, it is for Israel's interest, and it is having a negative effect on America politically, militarily, and economically. Therefore, those who cannot see the obvious stupidity of attacking Iraq in the name of Israel are blind.
