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.

            ok cool, after weeks of claustration, I may envisage attending Sourp Badarak again

            Mat 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
            Mat 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

            They utterly ignore the commanding lesson of the Bible which is to LOVE LOVE LOVE and instead the JUDGE, HATE, KILL in the name of the this love. Leave the judging (and killing) to God.
            the christian message is rather "love the sinner, hate his sins" which is a middle ground between the two.

            is homosexuality a sin? In some cases, it might be. In most cases, it is simply degenerate behaviour that should certainly not be normalized and advocated for as it is in the decadent west. as far as we are concerned, esp. given our demographics, such attitude would amount to collective suicide.

              I think one of the things which modern society does and excels at is actually producing homosexuals. Whereas in the past, such as in Greece and Rome, homosexuality was simply just a sexual behavior engaged in at times, the lifestyle that was accepted and dominant was the man/woman lifestyle and marriage. And as Foucault (himself a homosexual) pointed out, in modern society, homosexuality is no longer a sexual behavior, it is a category, a classification, and what we have come to know as "an alternative lifestyle".

                Advocated? How is it advocated? Acceptance and advocation are not the same thing.

                      Produce? No it doesn't. The behaviors of different societies may illuminate the reality of it differently but they do not produce anything. There is no factual basis for such a statement. It is a sentiment. Nobody says people should be homosexuals; they say it is acceptable to be. A homosexual is a person who prefers -- or would prefer, given an environment free of forceful stimuli -- partaking in homosexual acts. Other than sentiment, there is no reason to believe that homosexuals are being created over believing that the tolerance of society can illuminate to a degree greater than a less tolerant society, the homosexual population that was already there.

                      Whereas in the past, such as in Greece and Rome, homosexuality was simply just a sexual behavior engaged in at times, the lifestyle that was accepted and dominant was the man/woman lifestyle and marriage.
                      Your Greece/Rome comment doesn't illustrate how society creates homosexuals. Homosexuality being conditionally accepted would not change the fact that some of the people who were married and had a family would have perfered to live mostly, if not totally, homosexual had social norms not been ultimately forceful of heterosexuality. It's just as I described above. You are falling victim to shotty statistical analysis.

                      I think people are playing word games when they throw around words like "lifestyle." It's not an either-or thing and acts and lifestyles are not competing for validity. They are both part of a single general idea. Homosexuals, as I defined above, can commit individual homosexual acts and/or live a homosexual lifestyle, characterized by homosexual acts being the dominant form of their sexual expression.
