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.

    Hmmm, "dried honey on a tree." I'm thinking...sap?

    You two are hammering in the two opposing points of a very popular argument (and taking this thread way off topic). Thus, neither one of you is going to get anywhere with this argument.

    I think we need to clarify something here. While the Almighty Mouse has spoken and said gender equality cannot exist, he hasn't said that one gender is better than the other. He's not saying that women are inferior. Dammit, different does not mean inferior!

      Then why use words like "outperformed"? No, different does not mean inferior, but Arman's phrasing has "women are inferior" written all over it. I have talked to him about this, so he knows where I stand.

      Nunechka, you do not need to defend yourself. We know that our "potential" is no lower. I have always defined myself by my success in school and community service. I am very proud of myself and you should be very proud as well. You are doing what you should to have a life you want and deserve. No man can stop you no matter how much he talks. They are young and really do not understand how they come off when they talk like that. Don't take them as seriously as they would like you to. Just let them know you are not one to be picked on. They don't really mean to be hurtful.

      As for being off topic, I wanted to put in my two cents since the topic was already touched upon. I am done. Thank you. ~Svetlana~

        Apparently, the only one who cares about yourself, is yourself, since no one asked for your life history, nor your credentials. It's rather amusing seeing you type words like "socialist" and "capitalist", while you have no idea of what these mean. Earlier you boasted of how you were more of a socialist, and now you go on to contradict yourself and state you are a capitalist business woman. The tomfoolery of your positions is evident. You are trying too hard to try to paint yourself to be something you are not.

        Oh no, not the "The IQ statistics have been proven nonsense" argument. We can sit here endlessly and quote statistics but eventually the tie breaker is history itself, and history shows precisely that I am right.

        you are right about the inventions of men, no doubt about that, i have never disagreed with facts... but you forget that history is written by the dominant one, and so critial thought allows for the conclusion that maybe, just maybe when in those dark ages when the only thing that won any social agrument was actual physical strength, then you can easily come to the conclusion that between the physically strong and the physically weak people, the physically stronger gender won the war...
        What is the point of this paragraph? This has nothing whatsoever to do with the the thread. You are drilling at a non issue. Do you have any idea what you are replying to? Are you this obtuse? You have no idea of what history is, you're just spouting regurgitated egalitarian fiction, because it's better to appeal to our own ignorance, than to admit that we have been duped by false ideologies and "earthly kingdom" promises.

        but now-a-days physical strength isnt as important as education, and since now education isnt just for men, which is what it was for, now there are CEOs who are women, women have invented many other things, or they have upgraded and updated so many things that men supposebly thoguht of... you are so funny, you believe that there was a head start, i dont believe that at all... i think that as evolution occured that every situation asked for a different solution, like hunters and gatheres, or horticulture, or industrial societies, or now-a-days which is known as "information" so for hunting, women were not physically strong enough to do it... gathering well thats all they did, they were gardners and they mostly were respondible for raising their childern... horticulture is raising farm animals and women did this as efficiently as men, but then came the industrial time, and this was different because this ment, moving out of your city, going to work without any supervision from your parents, and only men were allowed to do this, and etc...

        and yes men did not allow for women to do this... come on you are living in the dark if you think that men didnt supress women... in the airforce in the 20s men used to have drawings of half naked or just naked women on their airplanes, they used to have playboy as office magazines in offices, but when women were allowed to go to school and maybe they were motivated to become piolets, those drawings disappeared... WOW? how? is it a good idea to draw naked women on airplanes? NO! it is disgraceful... i am offended, why didnt they draw men? would women have drawn men, NO! they would not have drawn men, not because we are prude, but because it does not interest us, women now have the same opportunities, but i dont see a lot of sexual harrasment from women to men, men have always degraded women, and if it wasnt for any womans movements, it would be the same way now, and all you girls in colleges right now, WOULD NOT BE IN COLLEGE, you would be married off...
        This is simple logic. You cannot comprehend this, either because you are lagging on intelligence ( which I don't believe is the case ), or because you are intentionally ignoring it to hold fast to your prism of fallacies. If you go back in time far enough, whether you believe in evolution or the Genesis outlook, eventually you had Man and Woman. Thus, none of them were ahead of each other. So how was it that men were able to outperform women, and get to where we are today? Obviously, the excuse "men oppressed women", is simply the cry of the weak, crying excuses after the fact. Men are more rational and creative. Women are more emotional. They are different sexes therefore they differ not only physiologically, but psychologically, and spiritually, for they are hardwired for different purposes. You do not have to like it. Men are masters of the external world. Women are masters of the internal world.

        I don't know anyone else who would present such an abominable argument, but it is fun nonetheless ( for me at least ), for I rather enjoy responding to balderdash.

        Take your own advice. If your advice came in the form of H20 I would force feed you 20 gallons of it to make sure you completely understood and soaked it in.

        Haha, it's tree sap nerfbrain. It's also funny how you have slowly, quietly and subtly let go of the previous fallacious arguments you were pushing for.

          I did not say women are inferior. Women and men are two different organisms and cannot be compared. Now, if I were to say the United States is superior to Angola, that would make sense. If I said Asians are superior to blacks in intelligence, that would also be true. If I said Asians are superior to blacks in athletics, that would be false. Stop interpreting things to mean something other than what I meant they are. And yes, men have outperformed women. You do not have to like it, but don't whine about it. What other word do you want me to use? You do not like words, that is not my problem. Should I have said "Men have historically been very manipulative with psychic powers and have psychically controlled women in order to subvert them and get ahead", but even that would be an argument in my favor. That isn't to say that there aren't women who can kick my ass or body slam me, or make me feel like a stupid nerfbrain.
