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

    Dude, I also grew up in an Irish neighborhood, perhaps NightOwl's neighborhood. I went to grade school with them, I went to HS with them. I have nothing but fond memories of them. The group which I hung out with was called "little shack". We were very close, we got drunk together and we got into trouble together, we played sports together... I also attended one of their "Noraid" functions where they did fund raising for Catholics in Norther Ireland. As a matter of fact, I was also present at an Irish demonstration against the British in NYC. They liked calling me the "Armenian terrorist" (terrorist was a cool title back in the 80s). So, in my opinion, all has to do with <<personal>> experiences of individuals.

    And yes, not too long ago the Irish were considered amongst the lowest form of human life by the WASPs in America and they were often depicted as apes in British cartoons.

    And yes I did notice this "Irish" phenomena in "White" America. The funny thing is that most are Germanic, Polish, Brit, East Europeans (you name it) yet they all like to identify with the small Irish percent in them. WHY? It is all over America from the Green Beer, the Irish pride, the Irish this and Irish that.... It wasn't too long go when the "Irish" were landing on the shores of this country the "Superior" Brits use to call them .... "An Irish is a Niiger turned inside out". It seams every establish group likes to make fun of the new comers to justify their own inferiority complex.

      Re: White people dating Armenian

      Why do we feel the need to categorize ourselves? Aren't we divided enough as it is?

      If you really consider yourself an Armenian, then god damnit you are an Armenian.

      As far as Glendale, it's alright. It's not one of my favorite cities to live (too cramped) but the huge Armenian population definitely makes it very appealing. If I were to live in the area, I would much prefer the outskirts to the north and east like La Crescenta and Pasadena. Of course being able to afford living there is a totally different story!

        I find that really surprising about the Irish,,, Armenian, They werent racist to you in any way? Maybe your very tall and big and they felt intimadated.
        But your the first non-irish person I ever heard say in my life that they grew up in an irish neighborhood in nyc- none the less and did not experience racism or a beating from them.
        Your lucky,

        Their favorite hobby is fighting, getting drunk and picking on the small kid. Their also the most racist white people I have ever met, All they talk about is how they hate spicks, n((ggers, italians, and joos, constantly..

        On the contrary I also went to school with British kids and their some of the nicest and classiest people I have ever met, very unlike irish americans. And they like armenians.

            Quite the opposite: I'm short, dark and sexy.

            Yeah, that's just about accurate, except for the picking on small kids part. I don't know how Irish kids are these days but back in the 80s they were quite a fun bunch to hang out with.

            I never came across Americans of pure British ancestry in my entire life.

              Scotts and Irish are pretty similar. They are both quite 'colorful'.

              They liked calling me the "Armenian terrorist" (terrorist was a cool title back in the 80s)

                You're welcome! Don't let vulgar bullies and narrow minded bigots - either on this forum or not - push you around and tell you what you can or cannot be.

                What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

                  Are you insinuating that they were outcasts in the Middle East, as compared to, for instance, Europe? Do you really think that's why Armenians in the Middle East managed to stay closer to their Armenian heritage?

                      Same here. I never came across Americans that identified themselves as "British". German, Poles, Italians never a "British".
