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.

    Intermarriage

    What do you guys think? Let us go beyond Armenians for a while. Should people of any race intermarry? Is it healthy to introduce a little additional variability into the gene pool, or should we simply attempt to remain as racially pure as is possible? Is southern California here the bane of the world with its racial homogenizing, or is it a wonderful place where people of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds can come together and fall in love?

      I just want to talk, my friend. I am not creating anything. I get the feeling I'm the only multiracial person here, or at least the only one that posts frequently.

        Well no one is "pure" really, so God knows who my great great great great great ancestor was.

        In any event, you can look at Souther California both with its great things and its bad things. As the world becomes more interconnected, people will mix more and more, however I feel forced "diversity" is a dangerous thing, for those that advocate for "diversity" don't realize that the diversity they advocate essentially wipes out diversity. I don't want a world where everyone looks alike and talks alike and thinks alike, but that is more and more towards where society is headed, as that would be in accordance with the Ancient Mysteries of globalization.

            Intermarriage is not in promotion of diversity. It will eventually lead to a single race of hybridized people that are very strong genetically but all look relatively similar and have little in terms of a distinct ethnic identity. The only culture left will be geographic and differentiated as well by shared tastes.

              intermarriage is not easy. it can lead to a lot of problems such as having/practicing different traditions, having a different religion, etc. its not like in the movies and it can definitely be a big deal.
              just my opinion
              I see...

                Marriage isn't easy, period. Loving someone isn't easy.

                  So much for "diversity". Mix everyone and make them alike more and more subservient since differences mean more dissension.

                  Control the outcome, and you get your desired results, and that is how you control thought.

                  I'm sorry I don't share in your view of hybridization, which is no different than a mixed dog with little to no abilities aside from dumpster diving.

                    What do you mean you don't share my view? You said exactly the same thing I did. You have exactly the same view as me.
