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.

  • Jokes from "Outsiders"

    Im watching Seinfeld, and there is this thing about non Jewish people making Jew jokes etc...

    I never really gave this issue much thought, but I can see how it would be offensive or rude. Do you guys think that its wrong to make jokes about a group of people to which you dont belong yourself?

    Also, are you offended by "Armenian jokes" from Otars?

    well, duh! of course it's offensive! i wouldn't be too happy with a persian or a russian, or anyone other than an armenian making armenian jokes; same thing with blacks, they're not happy with us making jokes or using that god forbidden word when making references to them...; however, i will not 'over-react' if someone does joke about armenians..ehh what can you do? people don't have much class, respect, dignity, consideration, and sensitivity anymore! just look around you (well you're in the mid-west! maybe there's still SOME consideration left for fellow humans there) ...here in cali (especially in l.a.), it's like a freakin jungle! no manners! no class! and $$$ cars and a doctorate don't buy class and manners either! ehhh....i dont' wanna get into THAT now!!!

      Hahahah well, duh!

      So you wouldnt make a Jew joke or something? I have made some "racist" jokes before. I just didnt do it in front of someone who could be hurt by it. I guess I realized that it could be hurtful, but didnt feel guilty as long as I made sure that those people didnt know.

        you can make a joke about anyone, but you must have some tact to not insult someone... so between us armenians we can make a joke about whites, black, mexicans, asian, etc... but not infront of them, and they do the exact same thing about us...

        and armobarbi, there is a reason why that is on sienfeld, to show how rediculasly funny and obvious it really is...

          "about whites"? lol we wont go there again.....

          I have only made jokes about blacks and hispanics from what I remember, and they were ones I heard from others and told only to people I knew would like them.

          I also have made Armenian jokes with my cousins, but that seems to be different since we are Armenians ourselves.

            for example, i find it really funny how white people say the word "sh!t" its more like "sheiyt!"

            and then those white girls who 'like, talk like this and like" they twist their hair, and like chew gum half hanging out, and they try out like for the cheerleader team and like that...

            and then those white people say the word "ya'll" as if it is a real word... or "over yander"

            and then there are those white guys from southern california that like, dude they go surfing dude, and they have like golden blond hair and dude, its so sweet dude... narley! and whipe out!

            ohh yeah thats really armenian! OHH YEAH! lets stick to reality...

                Well.... I'm a blonde and I get offended by blonde jokes! Does that count? hahaha
                But seriously, I love blonde jokes, they're the best!

                I don't think I've ever made any racist jokes but parskahays have plenty of 'torke khar' jokes which are absolutely awesome!! Right Eyybaba1234(can't remember your numbers sorry lol)?

                And no, I wouldn't like it if otars made Armenian jokes...

                  No it's not wrong. For example.

                  Q:What do you call fat mexican people?
                  A:Bean and Cheese!

                  Q: Did you hear of the polac who was told to blow up a car?
                  A:He burnt his mouth on the exhaust pipe

                  No I am not. For example I'll coin an Armenian joke right now.

                  Q:What is the difference between an Armenian and an Otar?
                  A:An Otar doesn't knock out the entire marching band with his nose when he turns around.

                    Black people make jokes about white people in front of them. Why can't white people do the same?

                    Drop your hypocritical double standard.
