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.

As is being pointed out to me, I see it's pretty useless to try and reason with you G whatever.
--------------------
You make it seem as if the Serbs were doing nothing, just going about their daily lives and out of nowhere the US and NATO decide to bomb them.
Why don't you state the other side of the story? The reason I am commenting on your posts is because you pick a side and point out flaws.
Anyone can sit here and point out mistakes. I do not see you running for office and taking responsibily for those decisions and I don't see you bringing up ideas on how to solve problems. It's easy for you to sit and criticize difficult decisions when you are not held responsible for them.
The fault in your judgement is that you are letting emotion take over rational thinking. If that is the basis of your thinking, then heck, lets just carpet bomb every Turk, every other Muslim, heck lets throw the Jews in there for good mesaure, and be done with it. As Siggie said, two wrongs do not make a right.
Your mentality and outlook are only going to make things worse because you definitely cannot perceive of any other outlook besides, "my country right or wrong." Well, if you want to go around dumping bombs on people, don't be surprised when they throw some back. It is YOU thinking that two wrongs don't make a right because they are gonna happen to you or your friends. Don't think that you can abuse people with impunity. I am not justifying it but it is a FACT OF LIFE. As they say, "what goes around comes around."Last edited by anoush719; 07-09-2005, 04:20 PM.If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.

Let's all take a deep breath together okay?
Iiiiiiiiiin... okay now hold it... exhale
Let's try and be a little nicer to each other please?
On that note, for clarification purposes... Anoush jan, I didn't mean "you missed the point" in the way it may have seemed to you now that I look at it again. I just meant that I didn't feel like my question was answered. Sorry if it seemed confrontational or anything like that. Just trying to understand your point of you.

Originally posted by GSTracer05I can't believe you guys are sitting here trying to justify what has occured in London.
I am not a supporter of many of US and NATO policies but to sit here and say that you do not care if people are dying, whether it be a US, British, or Iraqi citizen is just absurd.
It's easy to sit in the safety of your little home and type out your ignorant and biased opinions when you have not lost a family member, relative, or friend to war or terrorism.
Human life is human life.
Also mistakes are a part of human nature. Has the US and its allies made many mistakes? Sure.
But to say that you do not feel any symapthy for the lives lost due to a retaliation, a cowardly retaliation, is just not right.
And as for Anoush719, you must think you're very clever with your "shock and awe" reference.
I'd like for you and your family members to have lived in Iraq at the time of Sadam's regime, when he beat, tortured, raped, gased, and killed hundreds, if not thousands of people, and then see you come on here and just mouth off on stuff you've read and heard in the media.
What have you done to give back to the country that has given you freedom, the ability to live a relatively safe life, and the chance to pursue prosperity and happiness to a degree that you could not find in other third world nations?[SIZE=2][COLOR=DarkOrchid]"First and foremost, terror is for us a part of the political war appropriate for the circumstances of today...” — Yitzhak Shamir[/COLOR]ZE][/SI]

Originally posted by GSTracer05They can criticize and I can criticize them for it. So who are you to tell me to shut up? This is an open forum - one that even puts up with all the spam you post. Go back to working on your post count man. I do not support the decision for war but I am not going to turn my back on our troops, especially since some are my friends. Our troops did not enlist in the armed forces specifically for going to Iraq. You've served in the military? You know about dissention and its penalties?
And if its okay for that shmuck a52093043 whatever his s/n is to sit here and say that those in London deserved that attack, then its okay for me to sit here and express my opinion.
Now as far as the troops, there is a thing called citing a religious excuse which many who have opposed it have used. They cannot be penalized for their religion, now can they? The point being, if they really believe that the war is wrong they can abstain.
As far as supporting the troops, just what does your pea brain mean? Even if it's an unjust war based on lies, where thousands of innocent people have died, we have to "support the troops"? When you say "support the troops" do you mean supporting them in action, or bringing them back? Also, no one deserves to be a victim of violence which is based on the policies of the governments. I suppose I support the troops too, by wanting them brought back.
Those folks in London would not have died, nor would your friends be in Iraq had it not been for the policies of the governments. So therefore the cause is foreign policy. Nothing more.Achkerov kute.
