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.

    Qaddafi, Arab League Reportedly Agree To Chavez Mediation Proposal

    Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez may play a role in mediating the Libyan crisis.

    Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez may play a role in mediating the Libyan crisis.
    March 03, 2011
    Reports say Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi and the president of the Arab League have agreed to a peace plan from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez aimed at ending the crisis in Libya.

    Venezuelan Information Minister Andres Izarra said Chavez spoke with Qaddafi on March 1 about the possibility of creating a bloc of "friendly countries" to launch an international mission to mediate between Qaddafi's regime and rebels who seek to end his 41-year-old regime in the North African country.

    The Al-Jazeera news network reported that Venezuela's foreign minister had spoken with Arab League President Amr Mussa, who also agreed to the plan.

    No confirmation from the Arab League was immediately available. It was not clear what other countries might be involved.

    Qaddafi and Chavez have been described as close allies.

      Erdogan Wins Gaddafi Human Rights Prize

      The absurdity of embattled Libyan leader Mommar Gadaffi’s reign has many dimensions, one which is the
      “Al-Gaddafi International Prize for Human Rights,” which last November was awarded to none other than
      his closer friend and ally, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

      The prize is awarded every year to an individual who has worked toward protecting and advancing human rights.

      “The Prize categorically believes that freedom is an indivisible natural right for Man; it is not a gift or
      grace from anybody, and that safeguarding it is a general human responsibility,” said a press release
      describing the award and announcing the 2010 winner.

      Erdogan, who traveled to Tripoli in November to claim the “coveted” prize was honored.

      “You can be sure that this award will encourage our struggle for human rights in regional and global sense,” said Erdogan .......

        It seems China and Russia oppose the notion that the default solution to any crisis is western military intervention.

          Looks like Gadhafi's army has some mean looking ice cream trucks

          Looks more like a trailer at the back end of a SUV or Blazer.

          Which flag is this rebel flying?

            It looks like typical propaganda shoot by some amateurs.

            The state the “ice cream“ van is in, suggests its been hit some time back 15-30 minutes at least.
            It appears the “rebel “ is expecting his toasted compatriots to come out and ask for butter and marmalade to be spread over.

            Pity we do not know the name of the “hero”.

              Re: Muammar Gaddafi and Libyan crisis

              Really the funniest thing i've read about a response to Ghazafi has been the Arab League proposal to set up its own no-fly zone . Does the Arab League, the third largest circus in the world after the UN and Cirque du Soleil, really know how hard it is to maintain a no-fly zone in a country as big as Libya?

              In order to even commence a no-fly zone tactic, you must first bombard the country's air defense forces and wipe them out in order to ensure the future safety of your aircraft. Basically, it starts with declaring war on another country. Then hundreds, if not thousands, of your aircraft have to be in the air to maintain the no-fly zone at all times given how huge Libya is. The Arab League can't even get all countries to participate in one of their conferences.

                It's the old Libya flag back when it used to be a kingdom. Figuratively, the flag of "free Libya" (read NATO occupied Libya).

                      Or maybe the media doesn't want a nice picture of the crescent moon and star flying....
