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.

    Hey guys, what's wrong with u? Why are u so racist?
    She's talking only about date and she's talking about a Turkish guy, but not about Turkish government who made the Genocide. Why do u want every Turkish to pay for the thing they haven't done individually? What’s their crime for the stupid and idiot government?

    No one can manage fillings. Love comes and never asks to anybody…
    There's nothing silly about the date with Turkish I think… only if we are not talking about marriage here.
    I'm against the marriage with other religions.
    Ummm... doesn't dating someone lead to falling in love and eventually marriege? After all whats the point of dating someone? And if it's racist not to date other relgions, is then not racist not to marry one??

      Crissy, marriage is not all the time necessary after dating. We date to know each other and the following decision depends from a kind of the relationship.

      The girl here was speaking only about dating a Turkish guy. I don't see anything bad in this situation but for marriage between him and her, I'm not the best adviser here.

      Marriage is very responsible thing...more than we think. But to change the religion it's more responsible than marriage. Well...this is my oppinion.
      What do u think about it?

        No, dating someone doesn't necessarily mean marriage. The whole point of dating is to get to know someone. What I am trying to say is, as you stated in your previous post. You can't help who you fall in love with. If you don't date someone and don't spend time with them how are you going to fall for them? She can date the guy all she wants, but what happens when she falls in love? Is she then going to turn away from him?

        Marriage is not a game (although some ppl treat it as one). It's for the rest of your life.

        What I was asking you is this, if it's racist NOT to DATE someone of different religion, is it then not racist not to marry one?

          well...yeah...I guess...maybe u can call it racism in a way if it concerns to marriage as we are going to connect there religion as well.

          I don't see any problems with dating or friendship only.

          U can fall for someone without dating even U can be in love all ur life without telling the person about ur fillings...depends...
          And dating...people can date each other without thinking about the religion, I think.

          I want to know ur opinion as well

            Pantera jan, I think it's a matter of personal sense of outrage at and sensitivity to anti-Armenian stance of Turkey and their ugly cultural/national priorities and the general dismissive/hateful way with which Turks view Armenians and the Armenian Genocide. If you don't care that generally Turks view Armenian national/cultural aspirations with disdain, that Turks care little for the fact that 1.5 million Armenians were cleansed, that Turks feel Armenians don't deserve justice, then I suppose you can date Turks. Allow me to ask you a question: would you feel comfortable to express your disdain for Turkey and Turkish national character openly in front of a Turkish "friend" or "lover", or would you have to force yourself to be unfaithful to your own feelings/principles.

            It's not about the individual temperament or character of some Turk. In fact it's not about Turls, it's about the sense of outrage that we must keep alive and breathing, even if it does corrupt us. This sense of outrage is what eventually lets peoples overcome tyrants and barbarians. And, Turkey, not some good-natured well-meaning Turk, is most definitely an Anti-Armenian tyrant and a barbaric state.

            Now, maybe if you found a Turk by birth, who genuinely gives up his nationality, refuses to be called a Turk, joins ASALA, assassinates Erdogan, and let's say desecrates Ataturk's grave for good measure, then maybe it'd be OK. (that was a joke of course).

            I don't mean to come on as a judgmental ass, but these are my feelings. It has nothing to do with race or racism. Uzbeks are from the Turkic race, and yet I don't have much to say about friendship with one.

              So people have to behave to someone with thinking of his/her race.If his/her race is the other that we think bad , it is impossible to have a friendship with him/her cause he/she is the other for us and cannot be a good person.All of them are certainly bad persons.There is no way for thinking another.Just bad,bad,bad...

              Actually,someone who think and look for a race criterion as you ,cannot be in love to someone or have a real friendship easily.Love and friendship haven't got criterions.Friendship is a sharing , understanding and accepting eachother without thinking any criter..It is like a mirror.If someone smile you , you smile too.If you don't , this show that you have got psycological problems.So what a pity for you.You should be lonely in general or has got artifical freindships with this way.Maybe you have , you can find racits as you , unfortunately there are lots of racits in the world and people are so happy!? cause of you who s.h.i.t.ted in the world.Some people find that differences are dangerous , if they haven't got same things as you , they cannot be friend or anything.For me , differences are worthy things for knowing , learning new things and understanding eachother.Pity for you,cause with your racist ideas to a nation , you will live with dirty feelings and be unhappy cause It should be hard to carry big dirties of hatred.

                Re: Is it wrong to date Turkish Cypriot people?

                Dear karoaper, I understand ur anger and pain which I have in me as well, because of Genocide. But I don't hate all Turks because of it. I don't think that new Turkish generations have to pay what happened long time ago. We have things to discuss with Turkish government, but not with somebody else.
                The genocide will stay in our harts forever, but it doesn't mean that all Turkish people are automatically BAD. I like cultures and I don't care which nation is it. Besides...we have lot of foreign mix in our culture as well.
                When I see someone I try to have my own opinions not by nationality but by personality. I don't choose friends by nationality; I choose them for their personalities. I agree with karot in this point.

                I'll repeat that the only thing I'd never accept is the marriage with different religions. And that's it

                  Pantera, never said you can't be friends with otars or other races/religions etc. being friends is different, but when it comes to dating it's different. you can't date someone casually and not have any feelings towards that person, unless its a casual arrangement by both ??

                  regardsless, each to their own I guess, I know for me, its a big NO NO, I can't do it, won't do it, won't feel right.

                    Crissy jan, there is no word "can't". People CAN do every thing and whatever they like. I'm just telling, that it's not our job to judge people or their behaviours and there is nothing bad to date Turkish guy. U never know when love appears and it never worn about it's appearance... and I wanna tell u that love can change many things in the world. U never know...

                    To date doesn't mean to merry and it doesn't matter what kind of intentions u have towards the guy u date. Dating can change many kinds of intentions or...can stay the way it was...doesn't matter.
                    Tell me ur opinion about this, please.
