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.

    My cousin died serving for Iraq. Unfortunately, they didn't have any compassion for human life and wouldn't tell you how they died. People were considered like sheep, and the amount of casualties were insignificant to Saddam. They had little kids running around looking for land mines.

    With all that being said, people still lived a better life in Iraq back then. Today, the churches have been closed. The Homenetmen center has been taken over by Muslims: The Armenian schools are now mixed with Iraqi kids. No one steps a foot out of their homes at night. Within the past month, I know of three kidnapping/ransom of Armenians.

    What are the alternatives? You can flee to Jordan but Iraqi immigrants are despised there and they will never give you a job

    You can go to Armenia but finding a job there is equally as challenging especially when you don't know anyone.

    The Armenian elderly is getting the worst of it because they may loose their pensions if they were to move and they are unable to get proper medical care that is vital in their last years. My grandmother also passed away recently in Iraq because of this.

    Right now I'm very numb to what is going on in Iraq but I can tell you this. There are a lot of crazy Muslims running around causing trouble in Iraq. Maybe what that country needs is a crazy dictator to keep them all on check.

        So we invaded Iraq, caused the deaths of tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and thousands of coalition soldiers so Saddam Hussein could be tried in some farce of a trial over the deaths of 148 people and hanged? Am I the only one who sees a problem with that?
        I agree. Remember the "hundreds of thousands" of deaths Sadam supposedly caused around the region? And now they can only get him on 148 deaths, ones that occured in 1980?

        If you look closely at most presidents and most government administrations on earth you will find that they are the cause of the deaths of tens of thousands of inoccent people worldwide. Saddam's trial is a political circus. Altghough I don't like the man, nonetheless, I think he is as inoccent, or as guilty as his enemies. I don't think the US will allow him to be hanged. Washington DC might need him for a back-up plan, a last ditch plan to balance the growing Shiite power in the region. We 'might' even see Saddam back in power one day... We might...

        A few weeks ago the NY Times had very interesting quote by James Baker, he more-or-less said: For many years after the Gulf War One (1991) I was asked why did I 'not' take out Saddam while I had a chance.... Ever since Gulf War Two (2003) no one asks that question anymore....
        Մեր ժողովուրդն արանց հայրենասիրութեան այն է, ինչ որ մի մարմին' առանց հոգու:

          I didn’t know that Iraqi Armenians served in the Iraqi army. My mother’s cousin served in the Iranian army and was held hostage for three years, we had no hope to see him alive, his comeback was a miracle.
          And what you told about armenians’ situation in Iraq saddened me and the worse is that a part of them are genocide survivors
