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 we say diversity, we mean diversity in all senses of the word, not just one aspect of it.
    Segregation does not bring about diversity. There may exist diversity between two segregated groups, but as these groups never mix, what good does this do? Within the group, it matters little. Interracial marriage is completely unrelated to diversity. You're kidding yourself to think it actually benefits this world somehow to hold onto one flag and spit on others.

      Adam, please calm down.

      Spit on others? WE ARE NOT RACIST. WE DO NOT THINK OF OURSELVES AS BETTER THAN ANYONE ELSE. Or would you like for me to run that by you again?

        Like I said if youre lard covered brain was paying attention, "diversity" exists throughout history, and the natural interacting of peoples takes place. What is your point here?

        Diversity as promoted in the United States is anything but what you describe. They describe racial and cultural diveristy, not diversity of ideas. Somehow everyone is taught to think within the rigid confines of 'accidental history' and how the State is so essential. Any diverse opinions on 911 being a product of Bush and Co., is met with insecurities and epithets. Not very diverse for some country to claim to be for diversity.

        The U.S. is laying its own roots for its own demise.

          Originally posted by Anonymouse Well, way to go in attributing something to me I did not say. Diversity is diversity, let's not make this elastic.

          This is no different than morons saying morality is subjective.
          Exactly. Diversity is diversity. It has nothing to do with the way a person looks or the nation they call home. It lies within the differences between individuals, which is not fostered by keeping small, separated groups. It is fostered by allowing people to mix feely with whoever they should choose, to meet people that are not like them, and to learn about these people, to exchange ideas, interests, DNA base sequences, and everything that goes with it.

            But currently "diversity" is forced.

            The whole civil rights movement was one big forced integration, yet while some may mix, for the most part people still stay within their own respective communities.

              What the xxxx does this have to do with interracial marriages? Who said I was promoting anything about the US? I will tell this for damn sure: there is far more diversity of thought here in this country than there is in any other. Take it from someone who has lived on both coasts and in the Appalachian south, and travelled everywhere inbetween.

                Diversity implies heterogeneity. What you just said makes no sense to me. Yea, if I focus on one family, there won't be much diversity there (duh). I look at diversity of the world, so I don't see what you're saying. Diversity breeds culture and creativity. If everyone was similar, I'd get bored (as would most people). I'm all for diversity (not in the US sense of the word, though).

                  And? Who said I wanted to force people to intermarry? You're ignoring me again, and arguing with US policy. I do not support US policy.

                    Then why keep small, insular groups? Why have an ethnic identity at all? Do you honestly not see how it is the source of so much needless strife and conflict. I am never going to bomb a school because it is full of Jewish children, nor will I ever force a tribe of natives to march 1000 miles to certain death because they aren't white enough.

                      Adam, are you even comprehending what I'm writing? Can you stop with the assumptions, please?

                      EMBRACING DIVERSITY DOES NOT MAKE ONE RACIST. THOSE CRIMES THAT YOU SPEAK OF ARE ONLY DONE IN THE NAME OF RACISM.
