Vigil how is this your thread ? Just wondering.
Anyhow, first and foremost keep in mind as long us debate, discussions are made in a civil manner I'll let it be your "own thread" I PM'd Arpa due to respect I have for him, I totally agree with him basically, and I want to talk about Armenians.
You know ideas, solutions, sometime come from unexpected places and sources, however I see very disturbing pattern among many of my fellow Armenians that is when another ethnic group is put down for our own shortcomings, example? Just go thru your thread. Time spent on bashing and talking about them, don’t you agree we can talk about at list what do we have to do as generation for lasting of our homeland and if I remember correctly you are the one who always bring up those issue, Jew, black, Semitic etc.......my friend, how are those arguments going to contribute to tomorrows prosperous Armenia? Building a healthy society we need to establish the foundation based on the good values we have and this is an essential element of a healthy Nation.
