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.

    When Armenian Immigrants were arriving to Europe America, you know what reaction they got? the same as the most reactionary people on this board are stating, in that they are in some way a drain on the state. Fukk off. The only drain is the reactionary forces who refuse to allow progress to take place if it goes against their personal interests.
    puhleez... wtf are you on?????? Armenians have been constructive wherever they went. they have built rather than destroyed. they have established businesses, helped the economy. only recently (and only in Cali) do we see the rabiz "i'm on welfare but i drive a mercedes benz" types. the percentage of Armenians who have not succeeded (among the total number of Armenian immigrants) is not even comparable to the massive number of unemployed and lazy non-Armenian immigrants. know your facts before you speak.

    and what's with all the paki gangs in London these days, i keep hearing about it... they have taxi communication circuits all around the place... wtf?

      Darorinag, youve been an 1st generation immigrant in one country, and 2nd generation in another, you should be last person to blast immigrants.

      Do you go to school? Yes, did you pay for that? No. Does that make you a drain on the state? according to your idiotic argument, yes.

      Darorinag, even before world war 2 when there were armenians in Britain coming, the right wing in the form of the "Daily Mail" used to slate them as beggars etc. They did the same to jews who fleed Nazi persecution.

      To answer the question of immigration, we must see where the idea of "nationhood" began. It is an artificial set of borders to further the interests of the ruling class. We saw this in Europe with Louis the 14th when he formalised borders around France so that he could push them further and further into Europe to increase the county's wealth. From this state was born a national army, national police and judiciary. this is the root of the class antagonisms we have today. Borders are made for ruling class interests. Who are these class's to say we cant move wherever we want?

        What I am has nothing to do with who I blast. For example, just because I am an Armenian doesn't mean I cannot be a revisionist or a denialist w.r.t the "holocaust." Ditto for immigration.

        Do you go to school? Yes, did you pay for that? No. Does that make you a drain on the state? according to your idiotic argument, yes.
        Yes, I go to school. Yes, I pay for my tuition 100%. So don't assume things about me. I have NOT received anything from the government. Not even treatment coverage for Christ's sake. If you don't know about me and what I had to go through because the govenment refused to provide aid to me in special circumstances (and I am not talking about university here, university is a non-issue compared to what I'm talking about, but I'm not gonna go there), and in the meanwhile made welfare payments to undeserving, unskilled immigrants, THEN you would know what I'm talking about.

        They did the same to jews who fleed Nazi persecution.
        Yeah yeah, way to assume another thing. Nazi persecution? Have you heard about the jewish hospital that openly operated in Berlin throughout WW2? I'm not gonna go into a discussion about the "holocaust" in this thread, but do read up some politically incorrect material. But I'm assuming your communist mind is not interested in political incorrectness, but rather at making all minds think alike.

        To answer the question of immigration, we must see where the idea of "nationhood" began. It is an artificial set of borders to further the interests of the ruling class.
        Please.. territories divided by tribes have always existed, long before there was the concept of "class." It is impossible to have no nationhood. There is a reason we are different, and there is a reason why there have always been wars between different people. as long as there's difference, there will always be problems because of that difference, and there will always be hierarchies. if there is no patriarchism, there will be matriarchism. there can't be a single moment in which the two are absolutely equal.


        Borders are made for ruling class interests. Who are these class's to say we cant move wherever we want?
        Borders have always existed. people have always felt inclined to mark territory and make it "theirs." LONG LONG before there was the idea of class or economy.

          "and in the meanwhile made welfare payments to undeserving, unskilled immigrants, THEN you would know what I'm talking about"
          -When you can prove all immigrants are undeserving and unskilled then you can talk
          -Look at statistics, majority of immigrants go abroad with a diploma

          "But I'm assuming your communist mind is not interested in political incorrectness, but rather at making all minds think alike. "
          -Nope, in all communist organisations the principle of debate and democracy is the core of the organisation.
          -This is then transfered onto a society where discussion and debate takes place
          -Its highly ironic you say this, when your the victim of right wing press who spreaad viscious lies about immigrants.

          "Please.. territories divided by tribes have always existed, long before there was the concept of "class." It is impossible to have no nationhood.

          -You think there are no agnostic differences in tribes pre-capitalism? You think the chief is equal to a warrior? no, this is why each tribe has a set of warriors to protect the chiefs interests. This has been the case in Africa on a much larger scale, due to the ruling class in each segment setting its toiling class against others See hutus and tutsis
          -Nationhood has only been around for the last 300-400 years....
          -Armenia is was made of several groupings, how is it they all managed to survive?
          -wtf is this patriarch xxxx you talk of?

          "Borders have always existed. people have always felt inclined to mark territory and make it "theirs." LONG LONG before there was the idea of class or economy."
          -Like i said, the idea of territory came about 400 years ago, proposed by the ruling class, not by ordinary peasants who were taxed blood for the King.

                  I was planning on reading this thread but it is too long. So I will not.

                  I think immigration laws would not need to be any stricter if we did not have such an issue with the Mexicans. Mexican illegals should be thrown out with their families, including the ones that were born here. Anybody that comes near the border planning to cross illegally should be shot. And the people in political office that think illegals should get driver's licenses and free education should be tortured to death. If we cleaned up the issue with the southern border, we would be fine. The fact that people come here like that and take our tax money and then have kids who become citizens who will soon be a majority voting population and would elect stupid people to office is very frustrating. And I do not need anybody telling me that they take the jobs nobody wants. That suggests that the survival of United States is dependant on uneducated Mexicans. Absurd. The economy will adjust itself.

                    This is like the latter stages of the Roman empire when in 212 A.D. Caracalla granted Roman citizenship to the entire freeborn population of the empire.

                      I never said I am oppressed, at least I NO LONGER claim I am. I left the gay rights movement some time ago. I am sick of the whining and b*tching.

                      -When you can prove all immigrants are undeserving and unskilled then you can talk
                      99% of immigrants to Canada are from India or China. 99% of the 99% have no diplomas. The communist obviously hasn't taken the bus. But then again, maybe they don't have many Pakis or Indians in Manchester, eh?
                      What do you consider "skilled".. anyone can work at Macdonalds... That is definitely NOT skilled. Skilled means something else. It means either a degree from university or a vocation, something most of the Chinese and Indian immigrants coming from not-so-mainland provinces/areas don't have.

                      Seapahn, relax, I was trying to show the irony in what you said, and in your previous arguments with me about the same issue.
