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 for his "commendable views on recognition of the Armenian Genocide", why give a person credit for saying what is obviously true in a situation where saying that obvious truth costs that person nothing? I also suspect that any statements of recognition would have been made simply as an excuse to attack in some disgusting and underhand way some other target (like the example I gave earlier: his condemnation of rape victims being treated as the criminals was made only to be a prelude to his rant against Pakistan) It is unfortunate that there are many Armenians who will excuse all manner of crimes and misdemeanors if they are committed by a person who just happens to have "recognised the Armenian Genocide". (Or athiests who will will excuse all manner of crimes and misdemeanors if they are committed by a person who just happens to have opposed the insanities of organised religion).
    You raise a good point, I think. Yeah, it didn't cost him anything and anyone that takes anything resembling an objective view at the evidence would conclude the same, but I think the appreciation is more because he didn't have to talk about it all.

      Nah... his J3wish side automatically dismisses his "views" on religion.

          I'm pretty sure I've read that his mother was J3wish except she hid it from him and he didn't find out until her death.

            And Christopher is SUCH a xxxish name!

            Actually, the "his mother was J3wish" thing seems to have been a bit of Zionist propaganda. The Zionists wanted to imply that Hitchen's opposition to Judaism was not down to its content and its practices and its malign influence on the world today, but was just because his mind had been poisoned by his mother against everthing J3wish because his mother (or one of her ancestors) was a J3wish convert to Christianity. Only a J3w could produce such a claim, and it is a claim produced only for internal consumption, as a way for J3ws to easily dismiss Hitchens' critiques of Judaism without bothering to confront any of the issues he raised: "Hitchens is the one with the problem, not us".

            This is the exact equivalent of what Hitchens did in the article I dissected earlier: the Hitchens explanation of all America’s problems in the world, why America is so hated everywhere: "We are richer than they are, and they are jealous about it" so they are the ones with the problem, not us. It is another example of Hitchens having often behaved exactly like those he opposed.

              Yeah... cause Christopher Hitchen's didn't openly bash Christianity nor did he side with Zionists

              Bell, you're a piece of work. He was the typical manipulative figure who was able to side with J3wish interests by using the alibi that he openly had problems with Judaism.

                So in other words, his views were influenced by his, mostly unbeknownst to him, jewish genes that he didn't even know he had? hehe

                  I'm sure he picked up some characteristics from his mother. Being born to a J3wish mother automatically makes the offspring J3wish. Perhaps in the J3wish circle, they have a more advanced understanding of psychology and biology
