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.

    heh, I'm from Montreal...You'd be amazed by the newly-developped sentiment against US policy.

    Though, since I am born in Syria, I have been very sceptical about all things said through the US media towards arabic countries.

      You know Baron, I am interested in comparitive politics, and I would like to know how you view America vs Syria vs Canada. If you could briefly explain those three, I would be much obliged.

          Alright, I'll give it a shot. I've only lived in Syria for the first 4 years of my life, therefore what I am saying is mostly based on what I hear at home, and also some of what I have seen there. Assad, although he allowed no freedom of press and all, was able to maintain peace in his country while every country around Syria was in some sort of crisis. Though freedom of speech is of course wanted in every country, censorship is, I think, the only tool that is keeping Syria away from a huuuge civil war.
          Accusations of Syria harbouring former Iraki officials are veeeeeery very hard to believe, because:
          a) Bashar Assad, the new president, is young and inexperienced, and I personally doubt that he would be interested to kick start his career with a war against the US.
          b)The Syrian government is Malawi, the more liberal of the Islams if you will. They do NOT get along with Saddam's government.
          Syrians are NOT anti-christian extremists. The vast armenian community in Syria has its churches, schools, and is well respected and treated by Syrians. Syrians are also the people who saved maaaaaaaaany armenians during the death marches of the genocide. America has not yet understood that Syrians don't like Americans for reasons other than religion or jealousy.

          Canada, I can judge better. Canada is actually passing through a transition, trying to free itself from America's "stranglehold". A national identity and pride is shaping up, and canadians now notice that they don't need to do things because the USA said so. This sentiment, however, is more clear in Quebec than in most other provinces. The prairies, for instance, are quite pro-american. While in BC, the softwood lumber incidents did not have positive impacts on the public.
          Basically, Canada and the US are compleeeeetely different countries. The first one takes pride in basically ruining countries, while the second takes pride in sending soldiers to keep peace in those newly ruined countries. For instance, at least 2000 new canadian troops will be going to Afghanistan this summer, as americans desert the place...

          I am very anti-American, therefore I may not be the best person to ask for a judgement of the USA. I see the US as a country interested ONLY in its own wealth. Even when it does "help out" other nations, it will always be because of the potential gains it can make. Bush has used the WTC to do whatever he wants, and Americans seem to be damn fine with that. 3000 americans were killed on september 11th, but how many palestinians have died because of guns provided by americans? How many iraki civilians died during the attack on Irak? How many will die because of the lack of water? What I find typically american in all of this, is the fact that the iraki civilian deaths are considered "collateral damages". It is engraved in America's mind that one american life is worth more than the lives of eveeeery human being on earth, yet worth less than oil.

          I don't know if this is what you wanted, but I tried...

              Historically, dictatorships have elevated countries to a status of greatness, but at a cost.

                My friend, I am not looking for any particular answer. Your bias is actually desired in these cases, and if you are anit-American, then that is your stance, and I am delighted to hear it. Thank you for your comparitive insight.
