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 could be repayment in the form of education, grants, school system, community improvements, entrepreneurial funds, etc. This would also come with an outright apology so that today's generation could be made aware of why they are in the condition they are today.

      Yes, but marriage is when two hearts fit together. Think about the vows of most services. They don't say: now you can insert your **** into her ****. They focus on love and commitment. Homosexual/bisexual people are capable of that. It's that marriage represents the bond two lovers share. They want to have that bond just like everybody else that opts to marry.

      You can disagree with the actual act of sexual portion -- however, that argument is even outside marriage. Even religious groups don't always practice what they preach: many "religious" people do not wait til marriage before having sex.

      Therefore, that entire argument went out the window way back in history. (I'm talking the reformation here of Lutheran in the 16th century!!)
      It's basic English language. If the parts don't fit, they can't marry. You can call it a union but not a marriage. You'll find many cultures who don't believe in the man made notion of "love".

        Hmm..
        repayment in the form of education: that attempt was with Brown v. Board of Education court cases (there were 2)
        grants: they already exist for being African American, there's college completely devoted to the race as well
        school system: both top two apply. there's also scholarships, forums, leadership seminars in which preliminary is you have to be African American...
        community improvements: this is trickier. government can't particularly back a certain race. In addition to the question of ethics, there's also the question of money. Just never is enough or too many organizations misuse what they have; or like in CA, only recently was there a proposition to vote on in which we are forcing the state budget committee to get their work done ON TIME. so we don't know how much $ we're working with anyway.
        entrepreneural funds: these also exist, mostly in the form of scholarships in order to benefit specifically a minority group. otherwise, these have to obtained based on the material of study.
        outright apology: this has occurred, and further, we have a "Black History Month." Blacks' history is a requirement for all students to learn, including elementary students in America. Whereas say Hispanic is an optional course when you get to college.

          The main dictionary that scholars use is Webster-Merriam. Here is their definition of marriage:
          a (1) : the state of being united to a person of the opposite sex as husband or wife in a consensual and contractual relationship recognized by law (2) : the state of being united to a person of the same sex in a relationship like that of a traditional marriage <same-sex marriage> b : the mutual relation of married persons : wedlock c : the institution whereby individuals are joined in a marriage
          2: an act of marrying or the rite by which the married status is effected; especially : the wedding ceremony and attendant festivities or formalities
          3: an intimate or close union <the marriage of painting and poetry — J. T. Shawcross>



          Further, same sex marriage already exists. That's why you see it in that definition.

            Any pervert can take his perversion and classify it then give it a fancy name. As long as he could find some supporters it should become legal? And of course, if you can find idiots that think they are really “vampires” then it should be very easy to find all kind of perverts to support any kind of perversion.

              That's actually how Christianity started kinda pops your bubble when you know the history especially how "straight marriage" really started.

              oh, that whole vampire thing also exists. yet the straight couples can marry

                Well, as you know law books are just a bunch of double talk that mold words into whatever tricky language that only lawyers can make sense of.

                In manufacturing, we use the term marriage when fitting two parts that were designed to fit together like an inner skin and outer skin of a hood.

                Marry - to fit together or align (two things); join

                If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.

                So my question is, what is your objection of defining hetero contracts as marriage and homo contracts as unions?

                    merriam-webster is not a law book. it's a dictionary. it's what we give to people to go look up words they don't know in english. not restricted to a certain field.

                    in my personal opinion, unions already exist. i believe it was you who mentioned that even two guys who are straight can get all the benefits by saying they're in a union while still living a playboy lifestyle. that's not marriage. marriage is commitment to each other. a union doesn't imply that at all. a "civil union" as they're called are just contracts. it has no meaning to it. it doesn't matter if you love the other person or even in a relationship with them. it's your cop out to just get the tax benefits. although both of us know many people that do marry for that reason, we also know that's not why marriage exists.

                      it's a cult that sharpens their teeth and drinks blood and all that stuff. because they do that they're considered "vampires." doesn't mean they're born that way. so technically they exist, but not in the fabled sense.
