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.

        Most definitely. If nothing else, the novel itself is most definitely worth the read as a mystery/adventure/thriller type of a book. The rest of the context, well, it just adds that extra thing to make this one of the best books ever!

        Whether the "story" in it holds any merit factually or not, it's a must read just on the entertainment value alone.
        this post = teh win.

          Hm...well perhaps I will give it a read after all....maybe...

          Anyway - on another matter - did you know that you are now famous SIP? - yes thats it -

          Sheltering In Place (SIP). SIP occurs during an emergency situation when our safety depends on staying in our workplace or home rather than evacuating. SIP may occur during certain emergency situations, particularly Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) material releases and some weather emergencies.

          SIP (Calm) - Employees can move about the building but should remain in their assigned office area to facilitate accountability. These emergencies may include a major highway closure or an incident in the immediate area that could present a hazard to personnel if allowed to leave the facility.

          SIP (Threat) - This category requires employees to remain in the occupied sheltered place until official guidance has been received that the danger has passed. These emergencies may include a hazardous substance release outside the facility, police emergency, severe weather, or Chemical, Biological Radiological, Nuclear emergency.

But unlike the Jews & Armenians - where such was clearly a deliberate state policy that was enacted over a very short period of time - the Native American "genocide" was the result of a protracted colinization effort that resulted in genocide - more often then not deaths were a result of other actions and circumstances and not a deliberate attempt to wipe out the people (though certainly on occasion this occured as well).
            That is true primarily in the present-day United States and Canada, but in Mexico and South America, there were definite attempts (successful attempts) to eliminate the Inca and Aztec civilizations. These are probably more analagous to the crusades than any modern-day genocides, however, since they involved removing people from foreign lands by means of invasion. It's somewhat different than if Spain had simply wiped out a population of Incas that lived in Spain. Both are equally despicable, but there is a difference.
