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.

    ooooo, you should come to Montreal and I'll give you a big hug!

    Man, seriously....that sucks. Just the fact that you would be frustrated to the point of saying that thing about the turks is sickening, as I can't even start to imagine how horrible these people might have been with you.

    I've had my fair share of annoying Armenians, and it is very weird to say that from 9-10 years of going to the same Armenian school with the same Armenian people, I keep contact with maybe 2 or 3 of them. But after leaving that school, I have met other Armenians, who have become my best friends. But then again, I have almost no contact with most Armenians at my college, as they are just annoying, as are most people at my college.

    So yea....all this to say....I don't know really.....

        Eh, it's all good, was nice to get that stuff of my chest and do a little bit of venting. I'm sitting here with Armenian tea chatting to you guys with my Jivan Gasperyan CD playing the background. Life is good.

          lol.. you have a way of twisting things and making it seem like *I'm* the one who's arguing about relativity... I beg to differ. If I vote for someone, it wouldn't be because I prefer their hair over the other candidate's hair, but because I think he/she would take decisions that would enhance my position/agenda or the position/agenda of my group, rather than taking decisions that would hurt me. I'm not talking about relativity here. I'm talking about comparative voting. You don't seem to understand the difference between the two arguments (one of which is yours, mind you).


          And you weren't? Remember, you're the one who introduced the concept of relativity in this thread, and you're the one who kept arguing about the "idiot" comment being illogical.


          Wow, and here again, you insist that I started with the relativist argument... Impressive.


          How do you know he's the better candidate? Just because you know person X is bad doesn't mean person Y is necessarily better......... Logic 101. Hence it's naive.


          Umm, do you know what sarcasm means?


          It doesn't mean I'm not stupid though, does it? If I have enough proof that you're stupid, then you're stupid, and the comment is not out of line.

          I recommend that you enrol yourself in Logic 101 ASAP.

          I suggest you learn how to debate, get help with your memory, learn logic yourself because you have no understanding of it, and see a psychologist who will help you accept the fact that you cannot be perfect. Anyone with an IQ of 50 who happened to be reading your responses to me would have had a good laugh. You have no idea what you are talking about.

            The U.S. is the most aggressive and imperialistic country, with presence in many parts of the world. Are we forgetting that it was alot of the U.S. doings that funded and bred terrorism to begin with? Did you forget who supported the Taliban and bin Laden, and Hussein?
            Actually, I would argue that the United Nations is responsible for some if not most of this so called aggression. France, China, Russia, Germany, and the USA did support and fund these groups for a time. That still does not make us the most aggressive. Why do these countries not accept responsibility for their actions? The US is the biggest and among the most powerful, and just like in that analogy I presented earlier the bigger guy gets the blame because of the fact that he is bigger. These presentations of the US as being the most aggressive by other countries is simply ridiculous. They all have a plot in it, and they are constantly hassle us in the media to gain an international political spotlight as the mediators of the world. Its a crock.

            You are right that we are somewhat imperialist in the sense that we have territories outside of our boarders ie. Somoa, Cuba, etc... however, other countries are much more imperialistic. What about most of the countries in Africa, what about Great Britian. Just because we are physically bigger, and France is crying about it doesnt mean we are more imperialistic or aggressive.

            I believe in some instances we are more aggressive. For instance with the war on terror. Other countries are more aggressive with issues that do not affect us much. To say we are generally more aggressive is more of an assumption than a fact. You hear about the US every day because the world always wants to know what is going on with us. If they do not care about us or care to hear about this country, well thats too bad, because they are going to hear it anyway. You never hear about Liberia, or the Congo or Turkmenistan, or Armenia, or Yugslavia, or Belgium in the News. I believe that if we were to hear about these other states, our country and its dealings with other parts of the world would seem we would have a different perspective.

            I think this issue is a matter of opinion. I can find many instances where other countries have "x" amount of territories, and you can do the same for the US, it will depend on how we perceive it. Correct me if I am wrong.

                  Jinx, and Baron. Stop crying. You have both managed to turn this into a rehab center or some sort of heritage therapy. The fact is Hyejinx that your President will support Armenian Americans here. Alright moron, I have to get back to work.

                    Speaking of the "war on terror", did anyone see that video of the Turkish guy being shot?

                    Anyway, I fail to see how Kerry would make things any better. Unless you consider withdrawing the troops from Iraq "making things better".... in which case, I would argue that it would've been much much better if USA hadn't attacked Iraq in the first place, because withdrawal is an admission of weakness or defeat. Say what you will, I still stand by what I said. Saddam had those fundamentalists under control, now that he's gone, and if America withdraws, who's going to stop them? Not that America is being able to stop them anyway, but at least it's better when they're there, for the religious minorities in Iraq..
