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.

    He's a very interesting fellow. His main message is "How can we expect peace when non-violence is overlooked?". I have a lot of sympathy for the plight of the Tibetans.

      What the hell does that mean? From what I know he was picked as a child by monks and has been traveling the world in slippers and spandex psychedelic trousers prophesying incoherent wisdoms ever since.
      He must have one hell of a public relations team, since I can't think of anything he's done, but everyone knows him.

        He's the head of the Tibetan government in exile, as well as the Tibetans' spiritual leader. Ever since China has occupied Tibet, he has only encouraged peaceful means of getting autonomy for Tibet.

        His speech is actually VERY down to earth, with very pleasant humour.

          He's funny really? That is a suprise. Stereotypical wisemen don't usualy crack wise ones.
          Did he use the "how many chinamen does it take to screw in a lightbulb" joke? hehe

            That's funny since non-violence has never solved anything. On the contrary, I believe Mr. Hitler pointed this out. Sadly, although I hope for non-violence, that ain't the way it's going to be.

              He really is.

              He began saying (in his Tibetan accent):

              I know many people come out of curiosity. That is ok. That not bad.
              Other people come because they have already listened to me, and want to hear what I have to say again. That is good, but don't come too often, because I will repeat what I say all the time, and you will get bore (he meant bored). Look at my interpreter (the guy was sitting next to me), he already look bore, he hear me so many times.
              And then there are other people, who come here because they think I have something to offer, some sort of wiseness to give to you. That is foolish. I am normal person. I have nothing to offer that will make your life upside down.
              And then, the most foolish people, come with broken leg, with headache, and say "oo, Dalai Lama must have magic power, he will heal me". I have no magic healing power. I don't believe that. Sometime people tell me "oh, I have healing power" and I smile and say "oh yes, yes, yes" but in my head I say "no, no, no, what he talk about".

                In the future everyone will have nuclear arms, so conflicts will have to be solved by staring contests.

                  That is precisely his point. Why are we shocked about terrorism when non-terrorists are ignored?

                  He's a brilliant man, but I would go crazy if I were Tibetan. Many are already losing hope, and the Dalai Lama's ambassador to North America, with whom we've held a few meetings, tells us that China better be really careful at the Beijing Olympics, because many people are losing hope, and the Dalai Lama is not always successful in his preachings with those people.

                    What do the Chinese want with Tibet anyway, it's the size a tool shed. If they had half a brain they would turn the place into a tourist attraction and give the Tibetans some kind of quazi-autonomy.

                      I stayed home, took care of my nephew because my parents went to the consulate and my sister and her husband went to help out their friends that carried out the hollywood march.
