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.

The Problem With John Kerry Is That...

That is no reason to say he should quit. He is a third party candidate; it will be impossible for him to get elected. But if I were him I would keep trying. You are only upset because you are a democrat but for someone who thinks both democrats and republicans are equally bad, there is no argument. And by commenting on his campaign money you are basically saying there should never be a third-party candidate, especially if he is a liberal. Ok buddy.

I simply put that the money his campaign is driven on, and the petition drive funding is backed by the other party that is thankful for him in 2000 and hope he'll spoil 2004 as well.
If it was in a double digit polling situation then I would say stay in the race, but in an election as important as this one, there is no room. Three's a crowd.
OK Buddy?

Yes, he is a crowd for the democrats. That is my point. He will take money from where ever it comes and some of it comes from the republicans because he takes votes from democrats. That is a given. I came up with that conclusion because ultimately you always want a democrat to be president and any votes that can affect that are unwanted. Seeing as it will always be that situation, you will always be crowded by any Naderesque candidate and ultimately would never want a liberal third-party candidate....buddy.

Originally posted by jilbaghIf you dont like it, you can live like a king in Mexico or get taxed in Canada, or live in political and economic unrest in Haiti, Argentina, Venenzuela...Nader just has a ego trip, Perot knew when to drop out...Nader just doesn't know when to quit
So in the two party system, the quest is not for the guy you really want, but for the guy you think most of the electorate will settle for, even if they don’t really want him either. That seems contrary to what we refer to as "democracy". Each party wants you to think the other party is very bad, while minimizing any substantive difference with it. If Kerry can be said to have any campaign theme at all, it’s that he would administer the Bush agenda more competently than Bush does.Achkerov kute.

Originally posted by jilbaghhow the hell is outsourcing good? India just took over as the IT capital of the world. After Silicon Valley led it, outsourcing of tech jobs to India and Asia led to unemployment. Same with industrial jobs...
Do you want to know what creates outsourcing? You must first understand economics and why companies seek cheaper labor abroad to understand how to change it. The more you idiots encourage regulation, the more prices rise, the more companies will seek cheaper labor and looser laws. That is why outsourcing occurs. Apparently creating more regulation and fallacies such as "government giving incentives to create jobs", will only hamper on the market.Achkerov kute.

George W. and John Kerry somehow ended up at the same barbershop. As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afraid to start a conversation, for fear it would turn to politics.
As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Bush in his chair reached for the aftershave. W. was quick to stop him saying, "No thanks, my wife will smell that and think I've been in a wh0rehouse,"
The second barber turned to Kerry and said, "How about you?"
The Senator replied, "Go ahead, my wife doesn't know what the inside of a wh0rhouse smells like."Last edited by ckBejug; 07-30-2004, 12:09 PM.The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F.
