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.

    I think it is more likely he supports this in a second term if it happens. Don't expect anything radical in the first term.

    If anything the Armenian lobbying effort should put pressure on him to support Artsak and maintain a balance of aid to the two sides or stop any military aid to the region.

      Good point.

        Look at the sheer level of mindlessness and blind zeal displayed in this video by Obama supporters.

        This was the most incredible exchange of energy I was greeted with on the subway...we'd be quiet, then cheer whenever someone entered the train; cheer, chant...


        Does anyone truly think that most people who voted for him voted because they knew about his stance on Social Security or the bogus war on terror, or because he was the popular black candidate?

          I think every election has an element of this in US politics. Everything is magnified in this case because of a strong backlash to Bush and because some people may feel they are a part of history. That said, both you and Armenian have made valid arguments on how ridiculous all this glee really is. Even if I see Obama walking on water I still will not believe that he will end the American imperialist state. Empires end only when they die.

            Sad but true and they will take everyone down with them, and all those that get caught in the middle will have to suffer.

                I don't vote because society says I have to. All right, if someone deserves a vote, if they really put forth an effort, I'll give them a little something extra. But this voting automatically, it's for the birds. As far as I'm concerned, they're just doing their job.

                    Difficult question to answer....

                    You know, I never saw his race as I watched him grow up to be a square little president. All I thought was how uninteresting he was, and how he talked so much and yet said nothing groundbreaking, new or of any substance. He bored me with his character and his speeches. This is fascinating, but I really, honestly, never cared about his race. People loved his acceptance speech, I thought it was highly melodramatic, trite and mendacious.

                    And you know what else I thought of? Hollywood and Halle Barry. The whole thing was staged, dramatic and superficial. Remember when she received that Oscar? First black woman to ever win an Oscar. She is only half black, yet identifies herself as fully black. She is attractive and light colored. She is a very very mediocre actress. Her role in the Monster's Ball was average to say the least. But Hollywood thought that it was time... And who should get it? The attractive, light skinned black woman with a white parent. She held up that silly trophy and with tears in her eyes, while everyone got up and uploaded with the look of "We did it" on their mindless faces. If I was black I would be insulted: "The world rewards us for our mediocre effort, doesn't that say that we are not capable of anything better?"

                    Hollywood and the Government, it's all a stage, a set up and planned out, predicted outcome. Controlled by the same unethical and manipulative people.

                    And no, no one did anything with my cornflakes this morning.
