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.

    Anyway, it's statutory rape, no matter who is the older party.
    Maybe in Chicago-land it is, but in almost everywhere else in the world it would not be. Isn't it funny (not!) that in America you are considered old enough at 16 to be executed, but not old enough to have sex.

      Ooooh... great point! I'm against the death penalty, too.

        Age of consent laws vary from state to state, going as low as 14 for females in South Carolina. Capital punishment laws also vary from state to state. In fact, in Chicago-land, the age of consent is 17 and capital punishment is currently not practiced.

          Re: Sex

          This is an issue of cognitive development and a 16 year old has not developed to the level that an adult has. They do not reason in the same ways or make decisions the same way. That's why it's illegal and that's why executing juvenile offenders is now illegal (S.C ruling 2005).
          The various ages of consent exist because of the nature of the decision...how do you choose the age at which they are able to consent? What about all the individual variability in development? It's just a messy area.

            Then why your "statutory rape" comment?

            It seems insane that one US state can make something illegal, and a few feet away in another state it is perfectly legal. If an inhabitant of State A does something in State B that would be illegal in State A but is legal in State B, can they be still arrested in State A for doing it?

              What about that teenager who was an accomplice of the sniper that killed lots of people in the Washington area a few years ago. Wasn't he 16 or 17 - and they wanted to try him as an adult so that he could get the death penalty?

                  I just don't understand you people. I never made a "statutory rape" comment and I never gave any indication whatsoever as to whether or not I supported age of consent laws. I only stated what the laws were.

                  To answer the question, though, a sex act commited in state A is subject to the laws of state A, not state B, regardless of where the actors live. Federalism is a unique system, but that's the way it works. Civil and criminal laws are passed by the states.

                    Sorry. Was my mistake.
                    I know it was Quarteria who had made that comment. For some reason (I think because you used the word "Chicago-land") I had thought that it was she who had then replied with the age of consent info, and not you.

                      Re: Sex

                      I made the statutory rape comment. ...Furthermore, I think that 17 thing is only if the 17 year old is a year or less younger than the adult (i.e., if the 17 year old were to engage in intercourse with a 19 year old, the 19 year old would go to jail).
