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.

    Dating armenian docs--as in MD and the like :--)

    ok, before you all start ASSUMING things, i am not dating one, nor is there a willing and able candidate at the moment... i just want to know your guys' opinion on this, and i'd appreciate both male and female perspective on this..here's the question:

    based on your own experience or that of other people such as friends and colleagues...etc. do you guys sense this c*cky, arrogant, standoffishness when it comes to armenian docs? is it all in my head???? or is this an 'evidence based' phenomenon? ---to me, they seem quite a bit standoffish! just the other day i had a very nice conversation with a 4th year med student (not armenian) about patient care, relationships, school, demands in the medical field,... etc. i have noticed some c*cky white boy med students/docs too, but i have yet to see a NON-c*cky armenian...so how do you guys perceive this? this observation is something new so i haven't thought about it too much, hence my undecided stance....and i'd like to be fair and impartial in the way i think...thanks

    Well....this isn't much to go on, but I'll relay a story....

    I was in the AC chat room a while back, and a doctor entered. The topic when he entered was about fat burners (someone mentioned Xenadrine, or something), and I was explaining to the other chatters why ephedrine was so effective, and why the newer fat burners without it aren't really worth much anymore. Well, this doctor proceeded to PM me, and say he had to disagree on my explaination. He told me why, to which I said "yes, I'm well aware of that. But do you really expect the people in here to get that definition?" He said fair enough, and we dropped the subject. I then asked him his opinion on an on going condition I was having due to a run in with ephedrine. After he answered, he asked where I was from. When I told him a suburb from Chicago, he said that's cool; he'd be making a work related visit in a different suburb near here soon. He asked "how the women" are here. I told him the town I live in is full of stuck up snobs who don't give you the time of day if you don't drive a BMW or Mercedes, to which he replied "good. I wouldn't want a 'commoner'".

    *It should be noted I hate most doctors, because all the majority of them are interested in is pushing prescriptions due to kick backs and rewards they receive from the pharmaceutical companies for doing so, while bashing supplements they know nothing about because they hurt their pocket books, or they're just to arrogant to admit they lack the knowledge on them. Nutritional education isn't really required for doctors, and most don't take it upon themselves to learn about it.

      I have to agree.

      I actually plan to marry an Armenian MD. There are many Armenian MDs (and MD students ) who are good people and will make good husbands. Being an MD does not automatically make one standoffish. Dont let a few jerks turn you off.

        ArmoBarbi - you are actually planing to marry an Armenian MD?!?!?!?! that is rich...I take it its the money that interests you - not the fact that doctors save lives or such (otherwise maybe you might be interested in marrying an ER tech or fireman or such). My only hope for you is that you might wait a bit before actually hooking up...just wait long enough till you realise what living and happiness and such is all about...you have one life only to live (at least I believe this to be so - not sure what you think) - I suggest making decisions based on somewhat more informed choices....

        And in general I think it is inadvisable to generalise concerning what all/most etc doctors are like personally (and if they might - as a group - make good husbands and such...and what is one's criteria...do doctors give better head - I don't know really?). Now if one were to perhaps critique the corporate cultures of doctors - to include the AMA and how many wxhxoxrxe to (pharmacutical, $$ gadget etc) industry - well OK - understand that...but is this really enough to say that all/most docors are such and such...etc - particualrly when it comes to picking one's life partner....and why does a particular proffesion make such a difference? Is love able to be corraled so into such narrow categories?

          I also believe that we only get one life, and I also suggest that you make decisions based on somewhat more informed choirces - you have no clue as to why I wish to marry an MD. If I wanted money I could marry a lot more than just an MD...or...crazy idea...I could just make money myself! Thank you for the concern. It is appreciated.

            i gotta agree with barbi on this one!

            REAL money is found in real estate(if you're at the top of your field), in being a contractor, entrepreneur, LAW!!(again if you're at the top)...poor MD's... they slave for years in school and then many more in residency -depending on their field of specialty- and for all the time and energy they put in and sleep and partying time they lose out on, the amount of money they eventually make is not compensating all that they've had to sacrifice!
            real gratification in medicine comes from being a good physician and not so much performing 'miracles' but being God's helping hand and intervene and alleviate human illness, misery, and pain, and increase patient comfort and maintain good health and exercise conscientious and ethical patient care!
            THAT is why most physicians go into medicine...though sadly there are exceptions as with anything else in life...
