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.

    That reminds me of that poor little boy who died in one of the Disney rides. Tragic :-(

          The funny thing is if you lived anywhere else in America but Glendale, you would have had no problems with family and etc.

            Exactly .
            The other thing that was a shock for my huge family is that I’ve always been involved with Armenians and activities, I’ve never had any non-Armenian friends and as far as I knew marrying a non-Armenian was a dead rode and that it would never work and I must marry an Armenian. I’ve had horrible experiences in dating Armenians, have dated 2 and they both were drinking/getting drunk and I hate that. I was dating one of em for 2 years and he still couldn’t change. Then there was this guy at work, that I had already worked with for 2 years and he is a non drinker, clean, nice and respectful guy. I am not saying all the Armenians are like the ones I dated, but when I found the perfect guy that is Christian and is taking Armenian classes I just couldn’t see why that wouldn't work out

              Congrats. Your family will learn to deal with it over time. If they don't, it's their loss. The way I look at it, you're the one getting married, not your parents. If you've found someone that treats you right, Armenian or Non-Armenian, more power to you.

              As for the whole Glendale thing, thats not really true. I'm in Northridge and my folks still are pushing for me to marry an Armenian. It depends on how traditional the family is. Personally, I don't care, as long as I don't end up living in Glendale, Burbank or any other heavily populated armenian city. (No offense to those of you who do).

                My point was anywhere near Glendale and its surrounding cities like the valley and such.

                  Andrew, you almost sounded sincere here....haha

                  My parents have lived in this country for 25 yrs, and they still have hopes of me marrying an armenian guy...doubt it's gonna happen though, but they would love me regardless of who I marry...as long as he's not a turk, lol

                      Much congratulations!

                      I have to think though - if you had just not gotten yourself educated and gotten a good job - perhaps just stayed at home and lived with the family...they might have fixed you up with some nice Armenian man - maybe 15 - 20 years your senior - and you could have been his house servant, cook and maid and borne and taken care of his children - brought them up full Armenian and such. Sorry that the dreams of your family just couldn't work out...

                      While I can understand Armenian families wanting their children to marry Armenian (and some Armenians also making this their personal choice - and thats fine)...the fact of the matter is you are in America now...and like Armenians before you - you adapt and do what you can to make it in your adopted nation. As Western society has prevailed throughout most of the world (and is very powerful. alluring and pervasive) to suceed and prosper for the most part you must adapt to these ways. This by definition pretty much takes you outside the home and the traditional environment and your going to meet and mingle with others who are not Armenian. Falling in love should not be constrained. So what is one to do? It happens - it will continue to happen. Some Armenians will (and have) abandoned being such alltogether - others will maintain some of the culture to varrying degrees and others still will continue to live it...but even this latter group will not be entirely insulated from the outside world that they live in. The bottom line is that you must live for yourself anf make your own decisions - who is anyone else to say that they are wrong (for you). And Armenian culture - if it is at all worthwhile - will survive - because it means something - not just because it is enforced onto others.

                      I really think you have found yourself a great situation - particualrly since he seems willing and interested in learning Armenian and in the culture. Don't fret it - enjoy - prosper and be happy!
