well said. shakes head @ the bush administration http://www.student.yorku.ca/~shoghig/dan/shakehead1.gif another thing - i think i would be as glad as i am right now when "mr" bush is put on trial.. i think both are cowardly bastards who should be shot. bush is no less a murderer than saddam. he also carries the legacy of his father's actions in the first gulf war.. i think the reason so many of you americahyes are overjoyed is that you are reassured of the "good" actions of your president... it's all a game, can't you see? i wouldn't be surprised if it weren't saddam who was captured, really... think about it - if the guy had killed himself, what would U.S troops have done? i mean, i don't think they would've announced that he had killed himself - it would've killed all the excitement of it, not to mention their plans/hopes for a good show (like the one that was staged when they toppled his statue).. i'm skeptical. for a good reason. it's not the first time U.S.A has not told the truth (remember U.S.S Liberty), and this one exceeds the other situations in delicacy and importance by far.. it's a matter or re-election or not for some people. http://www.student.yorku.ca/~shoghig/dan/shakehead1.gif not to mention the overshadowing of the WMD argument for going into iraq in the first place, and shifting the attention from bin laden (who was ironically trained & put into power by good ol' USA itself)... bottom line is: MEH.. it's all about the propaganda.. it really is of little significance, and definitely of little interest to me.. but it's a good boredom killer, searching for satirical articles about this event... one final note to Armo77 (& co.) - i am not attacking Americans in this post. so please stop after reading this, before you start with all that.

yes, and God exists... talk about assumptions (without proof or explanation...)

lmao Joseph. keep 'em coming, folks!

:lol2: hmm hmmm but wouldn't that mean he's admitting that Iran doesn't have any? roflmfao... that was a good one.. Huh... freed the American people... good link, skittles. i had lots of funny links about Bush, alas, i lost it all when my HD was damaged.

what is this, if i may ask? i never accused you of that. i am talking about what was said to me when we were discussing things more relevant to the topic than neanderthals and shaving. i never said i had a problem with you or what you said. no. i never said that, but to silence me for discussing something (not even flirting) and then not saying something to those who flirt explicitly even though it's totally irrelevant to the topic and not a serious discussion (whether relevant or irrelevant).. i never flirted with any men, yet i was told to stop being "explicit" when the explicitness by others is just staring the person right in the face, and he didn't say anything.... yes? nothing graphic.. ok, but need i get the link for the thread about circumcision & genital cleanliness? on the contrary, i have no problems with sexuality or any discussions about it really.. what i do have a problem with is biased censorship. i'm done with this thread.

OK, here's what I found, not sure if it's what you have in mind.. Download the program from here. Hope that helps. Can't find anything other than that... I would've given you my MS Publisher CD if you had been anywhere close to me..

THOTH, If I recall correctly, the topic was not about neanderthals nor wooing. It was strictly about Armenian marriage. Not about neanderthals, not about anything else. And if what I was talking about was off-topic, what you're talking about is even more off-topic (neanderthals). Just like you don't want me to show my sexuality "in your face", I don't want you to show yours and just hurl it at me. Don't do onto others what you don't want others to do onto you.

hold on, i'll find something for ya.

Try Microsoft Publisher. It has a lot of templates.

Hetero wooing and jokes are not off-topic to this thread then?

No, America-Hye.. you are wrong... Knowing how to distinguish one thing from another does not mean favouring or supporting one or the other... I don't know much about Damadian, and frankly, I don't care, because knowing who he is is in fact irrelevant to the concept of the Nobel Prize. I am anti-creationism, but I don't think the theory of evolution explains everything either, and believe me, if it were a debate about creationism, I would be the first one to criticize Damadian, but as it stands, the issue is irrelevant... Damadian may be the biggest loser in the world, and even if he were my biggest enemy, it would still be wrong to take away that prize from him solely for his beliefs, and *I* (supposing I were his enemy) would not support such an action. Even if the person who got the prize were a Turk or the biggest homophobe on earth. Being objective means being objective all the time, not just when it appeals to one. I might not like it, but I have to put away all prejudice or dislike. I cannot force my values on someone else by depriving that person of the prize. That's not who I am. I don't know. I respect your views, but I disagree with you. Quoting from the Statutes of the Nobel Foundation: http://www.nobel.se/nobel/nobel-foundation/statutes.html

that is exactly what I am getting at, Arpa.. I am criticizing the bible and all organized religion..

Arpa, that's irrelevant. the fact that you disagree with him on something like that is not a justification for him not receiving the prize for his contributions. he may be delusional w.r.t creationism, but that's not what the prize is all about. it's not about beliefs or opinions. we all have opinions. i would think that if the NP committee were to name a winner that agreed with all their personal beliefs, they would spend the next 4615 years 23 hours 59 minutes and 58 seconds coming up with a name.. not everyone agrees with everyone else. that is what's so great about life (the chance for debate ) - but in a situation that is not concerned with people's beliefs, the person who has truly contributed should receive the prize no matter what. i don't care if he were a killer (if he's free then it must be that he wasn't convicted or that he was released after serving his time in jail), if he invented something, he is as deserving of the prize as the other person who might've invented the same thing and had a great past. that is why those who are on committees (in general) have to be objective and not biased...

But that is not what the Nobel Prize is for - the Nobel Prize is ONLY for the specific invention or benefit in science to humanity. It does not extend to the person's previous contributions to science. It does not extend to the person's beliefs or views.. An athlete may have never won, in fact, he may have placed as the last in the standings the whole time, but that is not a justification for not giving him the gold medal when he wins.. Creationist or not, Damadian should've received recognition for his contributions.

lmao @ going to bed @ 6 am... that's SO me... lol... 90% of the time? hmm... that's a lot. does that mean I wouldn't have enough time to surf the net and play games, and would have to stop pretending that I'm writing that damn essay when all I'm doing is posting on HyeForum? heh... the opposite of all this applies to me.. so that must mean I still haven't grown up...

we must assume that he does? i don't think so... he is our father? how can you say someone is your father when you don't know whether or not "he" exists, or when you are assuming that he exists? moreover, why is god in the bible a "he"? ever wondered about that? ever thought that the entire system of judeo-christian belief/faith might based on institutionalised, patriarchal power hierarchies? and if we are all brothers, how come do we attack one another so often, and kill one another? i thought god created us in his image.... oh right, but he gave us the mind.. but wait, so that must mean that we ARE beings independent of god's will then... so wouldn't that be contradictory to what is mentioned in the bible, about god creating man in his image, i.e. having a good character, etc.? so are we to believe that the mind is basically equated to the devil or satan? and if yes, then all our creations and civilizations (without which we might not survive, at this point. i.e. without electricity, medication, etc.) are basically evil... so we must get rid of them... but if we do, then we might have to get rid of life... hmm... so how is life god-given? and why do so many religious institutions insist that suicide is wrong? moreover, didn't god give us the mind and the free will? and for what, if not to choose our own fate AND faith? are we bound to god and his system of belief (supposedly jesus christ), or can we not have our own faith systems apart from the "god-given" one (i.e. christianity)? yes, everything is in vein (sic) for us... i thought our entire life depended on it.. As for vanity and belief/faith, i don't think they're in any way relevant.. i.e. there are a lot of atheists who are not materialistic, and who can survive just as well as devout christians or other believers.. and who defines what vanity is? if materialistic things are vain in christianity (according to Solomon), so what? christianity has not been proven to be the "correct" religion, and if THAT is the definition of vanity (i.e. lack of faith) in christianity, then i'm afraid it only applies to probably less than half the world... it is just like saying that if you're not a christian, you're an infidel (example - not saying that you're saying that). well, that's according to YOUR system of beliefs, not mine. my system of belief might say something else.. and are we to assume that god approved of the crusades and their massacre of the "infidels", when he "him"self supposedly gave us the mind/brain and free will? if yes, then i'm afraid god is one hell(sic) of a self-contradictory "guy", with all due respect to "his" followers..

I know what he was trying to do, I am simply saying that not all Germans are like Turks, and not all Turks are like German denialists... That was my point.... lol... I'm in 3rd year of university, and for the record, yes, I got the satirical element in the post... I am SUPPOSED to get that stuff, I'm taking courses in Satire, etc...

You keep contradicting yourself. What IS your point? I don't get it. Germans have never denied that Einstein is a Jew.... I can't see what you're getting at.... The entire world knows that Einstein was a Jew... So are you equating the Germans to Turks or the Jews to Turks, or what? I don't get it... You say one thing, and then come back and say something else...

Uhhh, no, America-Hye.. actually, it's the Germans who want to claim Einstein and Freud as one of their own... they're in the same position as Turks.. however, their last names show that clearly, they're not German, but are Jewish......... Just like our Armenian last names... How can Cher Sarkissian be believed to be Turkish?.... I'm not pro-Jewish or anti-German. In fact, I've talked against the Jewish government and policies on more than one occasion, which I'm sure many will remember (especially Domino, Sip, Accelerated)... But there are some things that we need to be objective about... Yeah, well, I've been called lotsa things, including a Nazi and an anti-Semite, but things like that don't interest me at all. They are just insignificant. Yes, there are Jews out there who deny the Armenian Genocide simply because they want to be the only "nation" that was massacred, but undeniably, there are many pro-Armenian Jews. Just as there are many good Germans and bad Germans, good Turks and bad Turks. There are Turks who have APOLOGIZED to Armenians for what their "government" did to our ancestors. It might not mean much to people, but I wouldn't cast all Turks into one box and say that they are all evil, just as I wouldn't cast all Jews into one box, or all Germans into one box...

Then explain your point.

I agree with gurgen.. it eats A LOT of memory. My God.... It was pain in the *** with my old computer (64 mb RAM...)

Literally? what do you mean? .... I don't think there's any metaphorical meaning in that........... or are you just looking for an argument with me again?

The answer is clear. Both Einstein and Freud were Jews.

hmm... you could always try re-installing it...
