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.

    African Americans are the only smart ones out of the bunch that don't fall into that marriage B.S. They don't put themselves into the law system. Most often things are taken away from them due to laws.

      Seems to me the majority of things listed apply more to poor people Joint parenting? joint adoption? joint foster care? joint insurance policies? divorce protections? immigration and residency stuff? joint leases? annuities? pension plans? social security? Medicare? excpetions on property tax increases if one dies? verteran benefits? decision making power if one is incapacitated? crime victim recovery? domestic violence protection? You don't think the poor people need these?

      Did you even read any of them or did you sort of guess again without all these "reading" stuff ...

      So which out of that list do you think doesn't apply to poor people?

        All the ones that require a job.... poor people rent dumps or are given housing by the government... they legally don't have anything. Pension plans? Hell, I don't even get a pension plan, lol.

              I think he answered it perfectly. 0 items from the list require a job

              So I guess 0 out of a list of at least 21 things is a good enough fraction to conclude that it supports what Kanadahye is saying

                .. and please, Siggie, before you bring your "science" into this, just take our word that normal people are perfectly happy with 0 out of 21 supporting their belief.

                  Or... you don't know the extent of poverty in America.

                    Or almost everything on that list becomes more important the less money you have?

                      To receive social security benefits (after retirement) You would have to have had to work full time (40-50 hours) for about 10 years. That doesn't apply to many Americans who live below the poverty line. Most of these social nets listed are for working class people. What blows my mind in America is seeing 40 or 50 year old people making sandwiches at subway. The system of slavery and poverty is so entrenched into the fabric of America it's hard to believe that people are actually worried about gay marriage.
