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.

    Killing Iraqi Civilians?

    This is terrible:

    404 Not Found
    http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/video1011.htm


    10/06/04 "The Independent" -- The Pentagon said yesterday it was investigating xxxxpit video footage that shows American pilots attacking and
    killing a group of apparently unarmed Iraqi civilians.

    The 30-second clip shows the pilot targeting the group of people in a street in the city of Fallujah and asking his mission controllers whether he should "take them out". He is told to do so and, shortly afterwards, the footage shows a huge explosion where the people were. A second voice can be heard on the clip saying: "Oh, dude."

    The existence of the video, taken last April inside the xxxxpit of a US F-16 fighter has been known for some time, though last night's broadcast by Channel 4 News is believed to be the first time a mainstream broadcaster has shown the footage.

    At no point during the exchange between the pilot and controllers does anyone ask whether the Iraqis are armed or posing a threat. Critics say it proves war crimes are being committed.

    That video doesn't mean a whole lot. Targets are discussed at great length well before a pilot ever takes off. We have no idea who these people were or even if the video is real. You might want to reserve judgement until after the investigation is complete.

      yeah who cares if you just saw 20 people get killed. Cut the Americans some slack here.

        Yeah, because seeing people killed is such an uncommon occurance in the middle of a war.

          It's not the only video where an apach gunner is targetting people. In a previouse one that I saw, the military clearly knew the people targeted where not carying any weapon..theire sole bad thing is that they were talking at night....

          Of course we don't know who these people are...insurgeant? Peacefull ones? No one knows.

            LOL that was great. The US military at its finest. I wish some of the people on this forum would be taken out the same way. Clear up some of the clutter around here.

                  BTW, somethimes the insurgents hide their weapons. but i think the video is not what you think. i heard about another one with brits raping a girl. but then the "brits" were too dark colored (if u know what i mean ). and the girl had like mascara on her. yeah right.

                    The point is we have no idea what we saw. Tapes like this have been faked before, and this is being investigated. I don't see any reason to get outraged when people are killed in the middle of a war. If they were innocent, the pilots knew they were innocent but targeted them anyway, then I'll be outraged. I'm not going to be so quick to assume that is actually what happened, like so many people who are more than willing to uncritically accept any negative accusation toward the US military. If this is genuine, then it is being investigated as the site says it is. I'll withhold judgement until that investigation is complete.
