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.

    There's def. a real question here. But you may choose not to see it. Look at racism and prejudice under two different lights.

      That's a general question and I don't see how the two general concepts are related. Slavery may or may not be based on racism. Racism may or may not lead to slavery; Neither one implies the other.

      However, if you are referring specifically to the slavery in North America and US history, that's a different issue. Considering how slaves were predominantly of a specific race and brought from specific parts of the world, I guess it's not hard to see how racism played a big part in shaping the slavery picture in this specific context.

        slavery!

        because people even enslaved others from their own tribes (the weak ones)

        so i guess the question should be which came first classism or slavery!?!?

            Deb...Why is slavery comming before racisme?
            Different human races can exist and do exist. Humans are a species and within that we have differing races, or population groups/breeds, just like dogs.

              Does anyone have a convincing link to some biological proof on the existence of race?


              It is said that if we take a couple of tribes and isolate them from everything else, they would still contain the genetic makeup of the entire human gene pool.

                Isn't that cuz their the same species, anything farther apart than the same species can't have sex w/ each other, or can but w/ grotesque consenquences. So pretty much any human can have sex w/ any other human and give birth to a normal/healthy baby. Because their both human.

                    Every time I look at the title of this thread I am tempted to answer that the chicken came first.


                    Anyway I think racism came first. I am sure even before it was coined 'racism' people who were from different 'caves' () probably disliked eachother and were 'racist', as people tend to be. It seems logical that someone would enslave another person they regard to be inferior to them. Because they regard these people as a whole (and not just one person) as inferior, they are racist. So racism comes before slavery.

                      Wouldn't that be "cavist"?
