Harut

it besides being an indirect insult to Azat and America-Hye, it goes against what you are pursuing, unity and longlivity. Lions (not only as concrete animals, but as characters) are much more disunited then sheeps, their lives are shorter, and more exiting. now, it we apply that to history you should accept that our time has come; Armenians lived glorious lives (not) and are old lions now and would soon be terminated by attacking hyenas. (description by Hovhannes Shiraz in Hayots Danteyakan)

why is universal position an issue? isn't is about our quantum composition? by the way, i still don't anderstand what you mean by choices. what choices are you talking about? choices made at the beginning of our existance? or daily choices that set us apart from other ourselves? if later, then is it also possible to reunite? what i mean is that after becoming independent from one another, as you said (which is basically changing the essence of the entity; Harut (me) is no longer Harut if he chose to stop posging in hyeforum yesterday), is it possible to come to the same quantum composition after having different experiences? if so, wouldn't we be the same but have different memories?

some might argue that Armenian disunity at certain historical points helped them overcome the possibility of complete alienation, assimilation, anhilation. while one part of Armenia (Armenia, not as a state but region) would fall under certain outside pressure, another part would remain independent/autonomious, thus, being able to practice/grow with their culture. the same goes for internal conflicts. while an inter-dynastical conflicts would arise in one corner of Armenia, others would stay away from them, thus, avoiding pan-Armenian conflics.

it's said that Shakespeare was very financially motivated writer. writing was a business/career for him. many times wrote plays by order. is this accurate?

on the second thought, you are probably looking for that insane who plays with skulls.

someone who didn't really get along with geeks, but wrote all sorts of crazy palys for living.

read Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five. liked it. read something else by him. don't remember now.

would YOU be there at that time? if no, don't make such statements. may war never errupt again.

interesting... and how does that exactly happen? if we have/had a choice about our existance, would that mean we existed before our existance to make that choice? another flaw i find in your unti-universes theory. by theory there exists another quantum composition just like me. wouldn't i then remember/experience what that other(s) composition(s) did/do? i wouldn't if that other composition is in exactly the same world as i am and does exactly the same sequence of things. but by infinite possibilities, another with the same composition might be sitting in front of a around monitor. why don't i see it?

255, that is the answer

so others can find the joy in their well-being

so Haik, what do you know about Indo-European family and its origins being from Anatolia?

add to that master craftsmen. but those mostly got their last names from their professions or villiges

it wasn't in glendale, it was in hollywood, it wasn't stabbing, it was slapping, it wasn't armenian, it was japanese, it wasn't marketplace, it was carwash, it wasn't teen, it was a senior citizen...

anyone reads Armenian Literature?

this should be retitled 'how to get divorced in 12 easy steps'. or even better, 'how to help your husband find a new girlfriend'.

'bala jan, portsanq@ mi angam a patahum' ------------ after reading America-Hye's post, i change my mind, i've never been even close to that extreme. so disregarde my answer.

i believe i've been in both of those extremes (or close to them) in my so far short life. i prefer the first one. at least i felt love and care towards me. the second one was just unbareable: dry, hallow, pointless.

i feel so 'lezvagrakan' today... nairi?

Steve Armenians living along black sea (Georgia, Abkhazia, S. Russia) are called hamshenahayer. i don't know more than that.

i had decided not to post today, but... i don't know what you are so upset about in regard people not saying anything. too much has been said, no actions has been taken. starving kids and homeless 'miaynak mayrer' are present everywhere, in every society. most of the time they are in such situation 'irants xelqits'. however, i believe that as human beings have reached such kind of civilization that are required to help those in need, even though there might be no hope that they will ever get back on track. i also believe that it is the government's responsibiliy to take care of such social issues. large corporations also can help to fix things up. however, i don't believe that non-profit organizations make much change to the situation; unless they are as big as red cross. a family fed here there doesn't make much differnce (maybe it does for the family in question but not in the broader sense). nevertheless, those organization shouldn't be discouraged. but unfortunately, Armenia is in very anarchic state, where everyone basically saves his/her neck - public good is non-issue, the government doesn't give a damn about distribution of welth, etc.. so, the government funding for families in need is not to be expected soon. but we shouldn't just blame the government because the government is the people, the people is the government. it's the poeple that have to change from within and look a little beyond from their small wolrd. homeless starving families, who have twisted view of life, are always going to be present. it's the way that we as a society handle them that matters. there, i said it again, but took no action...

Date? bad choice for a field name.

not to degrade love and sex, but it's interesting to see how life has become so much oriented around those things (or it has always been so?). i see it here in this thread, in 'happiness' thread, etc.
