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: Zidane's Incident At The World Cup

    Well Zidane like a gazelle just charged when provoked. Not a smart move but I guess he was also trying to make a statement by confronting the stereotype about the French since the last world war being "pansies and sissies." And he just displayed how well a Frenchman can get warm blooded as well, even more warm than your typical "Italian" if his chain was yanked hard enough.

        Since both players refused to comment on the incident, there are various allegations about what led to Zidane's violent outburst. His agent, Alain Migliaccio has claimed that a "very serious" comment by Materazzi provoked the attack. Reportedly, the deaf forensic lip-reader Jessica Rees was employed to analyze the video sequences with the help of an Italian translator. According to these reports, Materazzi spoke in Italian - a language understood by Zidane due to his time spent with Juventus F.C. - and first told him: "Hold on, wait, that one's not for a nigger like you." As the players walked forward, Materazzi allegedly said: "We all know you are the son of a terrorist whore." Then, just before the headbutt, he was seen saying: "So just fuck off." According to Brazilian TV Rede Globo, a lip-reader claimed that Materazzi twice called Zidane's sister a prostitute. Earlier claims about Materazzi having called his opponent a "dirty terrorist" have been denied by Materazzi, who reportedly said: "It is absolutely not true, I did not call him a terrorist. I'm ignorant. I don't even know what the word means."

        This isn't a 100% sure, and they believe the full truth will be revealed later this week, but I'm sure it was something along these lines. Materazzi is a bitch for saying what he did, but Zidane shouldn't have what he did. If it was a normal game, I would've done the same, maybe more. But a lot was depending on this game, and it was his last, so no matter what, he shouldn't have done anything. Materazzi ran his mouth thinking nothing could happen, but something did happen. How could you agree with someone who calls himself ignorant? France deserved the win. Materazzi deserved the hit. Zidane is still a legend. End of story.
        That is not true. Both players though not simultaneously, after the World Cup had their own two-cents to put in and share their reasons and apologetic remarks from the Italian player to Zidane for defaming his family etc. These articles, one after the other, were posted on msn's home page the following days after Zidane explained his action in a live conference.

          Right, I apologize for not making this clear, good looking out for accuracy. I meant that HE IS AN ALGERIAN FROM FRANCE of that Arab descent that was once influxing there on the French Plateau but I mean NATIONALLY, he is considered "French." But yes Zidane is of Algerian descent playing for France.

            FIFA investigation

            On 11 July 2006, FIFA announced plans to open a disciplinary investigation to clarify the circumstances surrounding the Zidane incident. It also affirmed the legality of referee Horacio Elizondo's decision to send Zidane off, rejecting claims that fourth official Luis Medina Cantalejo had relied on video transmission before informing Elizondo about Zidane's misconduct, which would have been illegal.

            Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported that FIFA president Joseph Blatter had mentioned the possibility of Zidane being stripped of the Golden Ball award. Either way they did redeem themselves all too well, humbly.

            FIFA also opened disciplinary proceedings against Materazzi on 13 July 2006 in light of Zidane's statement about having been repeatedly provoked by prior to the incident. As part of the investigation, both players were summoned to attend a face-to-face hearing before the Committee.

            On 20 July 2006, FIFA concluded its hearings and handed down punishments against both Zidane and Materazzi. Zidane received a three-game match ban and a CHF7500 fine, while Materazzi was issued a CHF5000 fine and a two-match ban. In light of Zidane's retirement from football, he will serve three days community service on FIFA's behalf. FIFA further addressed the insult in question by saying: "In their statements, both players stressed that Materazzi's comments had been defamatory but not of a racist nature."

                That all depends on how you wish to define that. And yes, genius, Berbs still= a different branch of Arabs.

                Arabs with their own nations who more or less live with diversity nowadays, are as follows:

                -Iraq
                -All of the Saudi Arabia and Saudi Arabian peninsula countries
                -Kuwait
                -Jordan
                -All of northern African coastal countries which includes Tunisia and Algeria
                -Syria
                -Lebanon

                Take heed from this splendidly informative source and read as well as look at the pictures of the maps: http://worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/as.htm
