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.

    It DOES make a difference. Firstly, if you are posting under your name something that someone else has written, then it is only common courtesy for you to give the author name. It may also be a legal requirement. Secondly, if we know the source of the article then we can comment more accurately on its veracity or otherwise.

    As far as that article's vercity goes - it's fit only for the trash can. I note you conveniently just happened to miss out all that article's religious garbage (in particular, the "final war" stuff) in the excerpt you quoted.

    1- The fonts were different!!!
    2- It's necessary only when you're writing a school paper.
    3- Even when I gave you the source, you couldn't comment, so it did NOT make a difference.
    4- Well the trash can must be pretty full, since there are hundreds of articles out there on the same subject! hahaha

'Factual meaning' is a technical term used in philosophy to denote whether or not a claim can be verified or falsified, in principle. Your claim can, but not until 100 years pass. As of the present moment, your claim has no factual meaning and certainly cannot be said to be a fact.
      what I said about the population growth rate is a fact now... if things don't change, it will be a fact for 100 years from now.



      Do you think those rates are static? Have they never changed and will they never change? If so, then you have a good reason to conclude that your claim is likely to become true. That still doesn't make it a fact.
      I recall myself saying "if things don't change"....



      You don't consider the country you were born in and grew up in to be your country? What is, then?
      No I don't... I'm Armenian, thus my country is Armenia, I also consider the US to be my country, but the Muslim country I was born in (Iran).... hell no (weird I know!).



      So do you think that is a good policy? To force everyone to wear the hijab regardless of their faith? I would certainly say it is not. It is equally bad policy to force someone not to wear a hijab. Complete freedom of religious expression (excluding human sacrifices and such) should be guaranteed everywhere.
      No, it's not a good policy, but I understand it's their policy since it's their country and if I choose to live in it, I need to respect that. THIS is why Christians should live in Christian countries and Muslims in Muslim.



      Germany has no religion! It is not a theocracy, there is no state-sanctioned faith. It is a secular country.
      We're talking about Europe in general.... not just Germany.




      Kind of like the don't ask, don't tell policy, eh?
      Not really... since there are hundreds of mosques in Europe and Muslims are free to practice their religion.

        I thought of this thread when I read this, so I'm posting it here... Very funny, I must add...

        The middle paragraph that blames the Jews for the Holocaust sounds awfully familiar.

        Palestinian Friday Sermon by Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris: Muslims Will Rule America and Britain, Jews Are a Virus Resembling AIDS

        The following are excerpts from a Friday sermon on Palestinian Authority TV. The preacher is Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris. PA TV aired this sermon on May 13, 2005

        Ibrahim Mudeiris: Allah has tormented us with "the people most hostile to the believers" – the Jews. "Thou shalt find that the people most hostile to the believers to be the Jews and the polytheists." Allah warned His beloved Prophet Muhammad about the Jews, who had killed their prophets, forged their Torah, and sowed corruption throughout their history.

        With the establishment of the state of Israel, the entire Islamic nation was lost, because Israel is a cancer spreading through the body of the Islamic nation, and because the Jews are a virus resembling AIDS, from which the entire world suffers.

        You will find that the Jews were behind all the civil strife in this world. The Jews are behind the suffering of the nations.

        Ask Britain what it did to the Jews in the early sixth century. What did they do to the Jews? They expelled them, tortured them, and prevented them from entering Britain for more than 300 years. All this was because of what the Jews did in Britain. Ask France what it did to the Jews. They tortured them, expelled them, and burned their Talmud, because of the civil strife the Jews wanted to spark in France, in the days of Louis XIX. Ask Portugal what it did to the Jews. Ask Czarists Russia, which welcomed the Jews, who plotted to kill the Czar - so he massacred them. But don't ask Germany what it did to the Jews. It was the Jews who provoked Nazism to wage war against the entire world, when the Jews, using the Zionist movement, got other countries to wage an economic war on Germany and to boycott German merchandise. They provoked Russia, Britain, France, and Italy. This enraged the Germans toward the Jews, leading to the events of those days, which the Jews commemorating today.

        But they are committing worse deeds than those done to them in the Nazi war. Yes, perhaps some of them were killed and some burned, but they are inflating this in order to win over the of the media and gain the world's sympathy. The worst crimes in history were committed against the Jews, yet these crimes are no worse than what the Jews are doing in Palestine. What was done to the Jews was a crime, but isn't what the Jews are doing today in the land of Palestine not a crime?!

        Look at modern history. Where has Great Britain gone? Where has Czarist Russia gone? Where has France gone - France, which almost ruled the entire world? Where is Nazi Germany, which massacred millions and ruled the world? Where did all these superpowers go? He who made them disappear will make America disappear too, God willing. He who made Russia disappear overnight is capable of making America disappear and fall, Allah willing.

        We have ruled the world before, and by Allah, the day will come when we will rule the entire world again. The day will come when we will rule America. The day will come when we will rule Britain and the entire world – except for the Jews. The Jews will not enjoy a life of tranquility under our rule, because they are treacherous by nature, as they have been throughout history. The day will come when everything will be relieved of the Jews - even the stones and trees which were harmed by them. Listen to the Prophet Muhammad, who tells you about the evil end that awaits Jews. The stones and trees will want the Muslims to finish off every Jew.

          I think that Islam is getting bigger by the hour but should we be worried? Just because a group is growing that does not make them right. Islam is a religion full of hatred and evil. Their leader had a wife (age 9) very sad- Millions of people are following this false religion and pretty much damned. Christianity is the only religion that promotes love and peace. I don't worry about Islam taking over because Christians can be few but have a larger impact on the people.

          I have many friends who are muslims- but most follow their faith blindly--- if they queston their faith I believe most will abandon islam in a second. I love debating with Muslims because it shows them how ignorant their religion really is.

          But hey- they are human and we need to reach out to them as well---I guess?

                When Christianity had Europe in the dark ages and medieval Islam kept the light of classical civilization alive by translating and keeping a library of Greek and Roman works, what happened? Christianity went in and massacred Islam. Don't you think it's a little simplistic to just say that Islam is evil and Christianity is the only religion that promotes love and peace? Aside from the fact that, as an institution, Christianity has done nothing of the sort for most of its history, what about Buddhism? Taoism? Wicca? Jainism? Do these not promote peace and love?

                    I don't see how a group of people attains the property rights to an entire region simply by virtue of having a majority. If a house is for sale and a black man wants to move into a predominantly white neighborhood, he should have that right. There is plenty of land that no one has any property right to, in that no one lives on it or uses it. You can't claim it as yours simply because people you are descended from used to live on it. That's just silly.
