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.

    EMBRACING DIVERSITY DOES NOT MAKE ONE RACIST. THOSE CRIMES THAT YOU SPEAK OF ARE ONLY DONE IN THE NAME OF RACISM.
    They are done because people see themselves as distinct ethnic groups that need to be protected from the scrourge of other ethnic groups. Whether or not you are racist, and whether or not your children are racist, keeping small, distinct ethnic groups fosters this. Just look at the people around here. Half of them admitted to being racists. If they were the huge mix of ethnicities that I am, I can guarantee you they would not be. It's hard to be a racist when you have no race other than human.

      I'm not ignoring you, Im addressing you exactly by stating diversity leads to a lack of diversity.

        You are foolish to think that only an Armenian can understand you. You are more than an Armenian. You are an individual women with individual needs and desires that go beyond that of a nation, and there may very well be a man out there who connects with some very deep part of you that recognizes no ethnic constraints, and you know what? He may or not be Armenian. It makes no difference.

          Only individualism leads to diversity. Pick a partner according to ethnicity rather than individual desire and connection, there goes your diversity.

            I highly doubt that.

                Well obviously love ( whatever that means ), transcends race, culture, religion. Just as there might be someone outside of Armenians that may understand me, there is also someone Armenian who will, and in fact quite more in the latter. Language conveys something more than just words, so when you speak, it goes deeper into something psychic. I often find myself, when talking with Armenians, not using entire words to convey what I mean, yet they understand it. This may sound bullxxxx and superstitious since there is no evidence by my own personal awareness of this, it might be looked upon as bullxxxx. In Armenian there is a saying that "Aryoonuh joor chi darna", and the closest English translation I can give of that is that blood does not turn into water. It means that we are a product of what we were raised and born into. I do not deny what you state either, however more leaning to my explanation.

                  No, I have not, and it would be foolish of me to try and define what love is. As far as your argument goes, from my life experience, I have only been able to relate with Armenians on the spiritual level. I can't predict the future, but my stance stands.

                    That is just silly, since it is an exercise of our will who we choose. And if our comfort zone is within us, we pick someone who is more similar to us, thus we seek friends and lovers who understand us, similarities, not differences. Of course we choose individuals since we can't choose the mass, that's a given. The whole "opposites attract" is silly.

                      All I can say is my parents are as ethnically distinct as two people you will ever see, and they still manage to keep the most successful marriage I have ever seen, with gorgeous, bright, and promising children who are as colorblind as any.
