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.

    Re: White people dating Armenian

    Actually Elia, I am learning a ton. Look at how much I have in common with some on this board. And there is also things not in common, and I want that to so I know the culture.

        Re: White people dating Armenian

        Well, based on my research it's pretty twisted. A definite watershed event in your modern culture.

        I dont get it though, Turkey started it? An old Ottoman Empire Turkey, that was disbanded after WWI? Because now turkey is different and a big allie of the US. But Armenia is mad that the US and Turkey wont recognize it...probably because the US needs all the middle east allies it can get and it doesnt want to start a public relations poop storm. Personally, I would recognize it. But I dont think my opinion has much political pull

          Re: White people dating Armenian

          I don't understand why, because it was an old and now washed up empire, they dont just say it was genocide and go on

          Something else to keep in mind (to get a handle on my opinion and whats going through my mind)...I am of German descent, and the Halocaust happened. We think it was pretty messed up, but re-iterating my past points of living for today, not many Americans period talk much of it and relations with Germany are fine today. Same with us and Russia, Japan, all the old people we destroyed in WWII.

          Would a girl ask me specific questions about the genocide? Or does it depend on how assimilated, Americanized, she is?

            I don't really understand what you're saying. Are you pro-Armenian Genocide or con-Armenian Genocide?

A lot of liberals forced it, instead of letting the people choose. Now you have a cluster-f**k.
              That's the point.

We can't live in a doom and gloom state of armageddon. It is true, that Armenians will get caught up in it and change. These exact same issues were prevailant in New York City over 100 years ago, with mainly europeans going at it. Now here we are today, more prosperous than ever.

But like World War II, when we were bombed and brought into the war, we got pissed and fought back. All people will unite and fight for the cause if needed, and that will keep America ticking. But thats external, not internal like I said before.
              What does one have to do with the other? One involves a disappearance of a people's identity, the other involves unison in the face of war (WWII was no more justified than WWI). In fact, history suggests otherwise to what you just stated. If anything, war creates mistrust and dissension among the mixed population. Both during World War I and World War II, Germans and Japanese were vilified, the latter to a greater degree since they are easier to identify due to racial characteristics and rounded up.

                I think he's pro. But is asking someone if they recognize the genocide the first thing you do when you go on a date? That's kind of ridiculous?

                  What I meant by you recognizing the Armenian Genocide, was that you accept that there was one and hope to help get it recognized, in small ways at least, like by sending messages to representatives... If you want, I could direct you to a huuuge post I made explaining the Armenian Genocide...

                    No, but eventually, it will show up... And I don't think an Armenian girl would find it appealing if her date thinks that the fact that Turks was trying to exterminate her race wasn't genocide and that it should be ignored...

                      I'm on Bonnevilleclub.com, too, as RareGMFan. Don't have a Bonneville yet, of course, but joined because: A. I like them, and B. To straighten out some horrible misinformation about the AWD 6000's (found a couple threads when I did a search for the hell of it). I MAY keep my 2-door TGP as a toy to build up. There's a guy in Canada who's expecting to run 11's with his new set-up (was in the low 13's with his old one with horrible 60' times, and without a chip tuned for his set-up). Plus the uniqueness of the car, being a McLaren and all. I think they can be as reliable as any car, IF they were well maintained. Problem is, most weren't. It's going to be the last car to go, so we'll have to see at that point where I'm at.

                      And I know all about modding an L67. But I just want a good, reliable car with decent power. I'm not going to buy a $25k car, and then start spending another few grand in modding it. Something about changing out parts on a car that new bugs me. On an older car, the parts are ready to go, anyway, so I don't mind. But if I ever do want to mess with it, I'm sure putting together a turbo set-up for a Northstar V8 won't be that difficult, and forced induction on a V8 > V6.

                      By the way....you mentioned being a bit confused on the Armenian Genocide issue. I did a write up, and posted it on the Bonnevilleclub in the Lounge section. It's fairly thorough on what led up to it, the event itself, and what the current state of affairs is. Look it up (probably fallen back to page 2 or 3 by now). Worth a read if you want a better understanding of it.
