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.

    All you guys are immature dorks, who didn’t understand the point of my post. In fact I doubt you read the article or my post. I was not advocating feminism, but rather a liberal approach towards imagery that is being displayed on the screen. India being a very conservative country is attempting to step out of its restricted borders and explore sexuality for the first time. This shift results in two things: 1. much opposition from the traditional society 2. increased assault by men. In other words, I am condoning eroticism, however being that repressed feelings are let loose people don’t exactly know how to handle them, and make it worse by creating a scandal, thus dipping sexuality further in the gutter. So I asked how a society makes a smooth transition without meeting such fierce and unbalanced reception.

    The only thing in my post that had anything to do with feminism was the Human Rights organization which is specializing in religious underwear instead of protecting human rights (women in this case). Anon on many occasions you’ve raised a point that feminism is an empty political movement, instead Human Rights should be enforced for all. Interestingly enough I brought up Human Rights and you instantly connected it with feminism, without a trace of that word mentioned in my post. Strange isn't it?

      Why is there this assumption among all "liberals" that society somehow is "repressed" when they choose to safeguard traditional measures and mores, and the only thing one must do is "express" that "repression", ergo, let's have a sexual revolution. Why I said this is because you cannot contain the seeds of such a thing. There is no "smooth" way out of it. It will spawn a whole new generation of sexual promiscuity and further add to that already exploding population they have.

              That's my point. People are always more sexual and view sex as something degrading when society represses visual and verbal openness towards the subject. Once it is out in the open there is a confusion of how to handle such change. Something to the effect of a yokel going to a cosmopolitan city. First reaction is shock and then it's more of a resistance or outlandish behavior.

              Or better yet Iraqis, after the fall of the strict regime enjoying liberation and their newly gained freedom by looting. There are repressed desires or feelings but there is not remedy of how to deal with change.

                None of your complaining about what's on tv will make us stop liking good looking women. When you rule the world and put nothing but Murder She Wrote on every station, we'll still like pretty women.

                  I think you misunderstood what I said. There is no link between what I said and what YOU said. At least, I don't see it.
