No everyone, Marie is right! Our parents, grandparens and great-grandparents must have been lying to us! Oh well, at least this whole genocide issue is resolved. Nice discussing it with you all. Everyone can now go back to their lives.

Swing on by! Leave the hash at home though.

Where did you read there were 15,000??? I'd like to see that article. THOTH is right, everything is here. And it can all be seemingly contradictory. I live minutes from downtown, yet I have to chase deer and coyotes from my yard. I can be in the snow almost as quickly as at the beach. Overall, it's nowhere near as glamorous as it seems though. Too congested. And the weather is gross half of the year. [ August 14, 2001: Message edited by: Aghmug ]

Armo, Because of family finances, I just lived at home and commuted to school. I totally regret missing the experience of going away, living in the dorms, meeting different people and all that. Do it! Mike

Your Highness Queen Shamiram, Again welcome back. Don't you think it's just part of women's nature? And for that matter, couldn't you say the same thing about men? That is, we're all dependent. Men that say they are not are full of it. Mike

Holy Mary Mother of God!! Welcome Back!!! Mike

Aaron, You're so right about this thread, but I am amazed it lives on. If it were OK to kill a guy taking a Hye girl, my dad would have died decades ago!

Do some traditional families see that as bad? How could it be? Go for it! Everyone needs to be independent for some period of time. Plus you'll meet all kinds of new people. Mike

We don't directly use it, but in managing staff there has to be some implicit psychology. Can you be more specific? Mike

Every kind! From Kef to Kiss to Duke Ellington to Devo. You name it. What about you, Harut?

Hyebruin, You're young and in college--why the need to meet guys online??? Online stuff is for old bags like me. UCLA has plenty of Armenian activities--start there! Or howabout the Marketplace in Glendale??? There are plenty of fine upstanding Hyes there on a Saturday night.

The AGBU sent me a flyer listing the initial air dates, but it doesn't list anything about repeats. I'm sure KCET (the L.A. PBS station) will re-show it. Azat: Did you learn much, or do you know most of what they talked about? I thought it was a great summary of the religious history. I'm embarrassed that I just don't know 90% of that stuff off the top of my head. I'll never win in Armenian Jeopardy... Needless to say, shows like that will be mandatory viewing for my son when he's older! [ August 06, 2001: Message edited by: Aghmug ]

Yeah, you'd think any expose on a religion would apply to all of 'em. They only mention Christianity and Judaism.

quote:Originally posted by Rouben Malayan: The skull plays a big part in Armenian symbolism. Is this generally recognized??? I didn't know this. Martin at one time posted an article that claimed the classic pirate skull and crossbones has an Armenian connection. Strange. Coincidentally (or not), I wear a skull ring that was given to me by my grandfather. And all these years my family thought I was the weird one for liking skulls!

quote:Originally posted by THOTH: Do you understand that the institution/act of marriage in part is a mechanism that "allows" or formalizes women's ability to fool around with multiple partners...etc. In traditional societies women must be virgins before/for marriage...but afterword of course it is no issue! ??? I think you grossly underestimate the love and devotion of women.

Bathing is outdated. Let's face it, cleaning ones body of dirt and bacteria is unnatural, and barbaric. A bath is a stupid sacrifice. If you love someone, you should encourage that he/she be free to smell and look however he/she wants. Only weak people still "take a shower." What is bathing? A desire to get clean, plain and simple, a feeling of a need to wash away the dirt. Showers and tubs should be ONLY places to have sex and with no soap involved. Don't you agree?

No wonder you single guys talk about the old country so much! Traditional countries here I come!!

I still don't understand how marriage is a mechanism that allows women to sleep around. That's the part I don't get. If anything, in more traditional societies, the man thinks he owns the woman after marriage and that she should stay home, cook and take care of the kids while he fools around. No? Also, although I have no science to back this up, my guess is that when a woman does cheat it's partially or totally the husband's fault. Whereas men can be pigs and cheat on a woman who's done nothing wrong.
