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.

      the reason i typed the question is because it gets us thinking about how society thinks and things like that, not because i was really wondering about what's black or white. it's just strange how when a child has a drop of white blood, the child is still black. but when he/she has a drop of black blood, he's automatically black (even if he/she doesn't look it).
      Dude, LOL! you can't have a universal statement valid only in one society - or a couple! The statement is culturally biased! What society?
      Maybe, that's the point I'm trying to make!
      What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

        we're not here stressing to figure out the point you're trying to make. i'm sure you know what you're saying.

        but the point that matters here is that when i posed that question, i wasn't expecting an answer (nor could anyone give me one that covers it all). all i wanted was for people to think about it and move the thread along with their own questions.

          That's not an answer! I can easily say the same about your point of view! What would be the point? What would that prove?

          Should reality always conform your expectations? That's a serious ????
          Aren't we always surprised when reality proves to be different than our expectations?

          That's exactly what I did, but I'm sorry that my thinking failed certification by the competent authorities! LOL!

            look, first, please don't think of comments on your posts as judgments on your thinking.

            Second, you simply missed my point and I tried several times to explain it to you. However, you keep going off on a tangent and try to start an argument with me, when I had no intention to argue nor to present this topic as an argumentative one. You ask me to define this society I speak of, you indirectly call me an idealist, when you know very well that the french guy you brought up would be classified as black by anyone here who believes in the concept of racial difference, etc. Would you prefer that I limit my def. of society to the American one I referenced in this case? If that would help, then by all means let's do so.

                    Why didn't we sell Ararat factory to say Italians rather than the pompous French?

                      Why do people keep hating on you, and keep giving you a hard time, for no reason?
