didn't they also close down the US Women's Soccer Association?

oh, how mad i get when they start the sentence with "oh, but you don't understand..."

Affirmative action? it's like saying "ok, rasism is bad. but unfortunately we are animals and can't control ourselves to avoid rasism. so, let's make it a law. at least we'll be afriad of the law and stop practicing rasism."

there have been a lot of ethical dilemas about this. for example, because the chip is never deactivated, it is possible to find out what one has in her purse by just passing a scanner by it.

nothing really turns me off these days.

just watched "Menavor Enkuzeni" again. very emotional and philosophical. leaves with a lot of thoughts to digest.

NEW SURVEY, UNHAPPY RESULTS: According to World Values Survey, the Armenians are one of the unhappiest nations in the world. BBC TV and Radio Company reports that the monitoring of life contentment is conducted among the citizens of 65 countries every 4 years, and Armenia, Russia and Romania ranked the last on the list, according to the survey of 2003. ARKA agency reported October 2 that the survey traces the social-cultural and political changes in the countries and their impact on the population. The happiest people live in Nigeria, the population of the U.S. ranks 16th, Australia is 20th and Great Britain is 24th. http://www.armenianow.com/2003/october03/newsdigest/

have you seen the movie Memento?

if we believe in evolution that we, human beings, originating from primitive organisms, grew to have a complex brain that allows us to learn, analyze, THINK, then isn't it possible that some racial/ethinic groups have evolved more than others?

i heard this name only here in US. but i would guess it means what it means, talar (dalar if pronouced in EA). dalar means fresh, flexible (as refered to a young tree or 'jyugh') but i'm not sure if it's Armenian or not.

see, this is what happens when i try to act intelligent.

i think it was MJ who once said that if you claim to know Armenian, but Western, not Eastern, or Eastern, not Western, then you simple don't know the language. and i agree. (or you know it partially).

sorry, count me out. religion is not my area. but i'm guessing you're getting into Orthodox vs Protestant thing, because as far as i remember, one of the unique thing about [Armenian] Apostolic Belief is that it excepts Jesus as earthly person and heavenly god, not as one. or something like that. (i'm not sure though)

why aren't all this retuals in English and not in Armenian?

oh boy... inch = what es = are (from linel = to be) anum = doing (from anel = to do) inch es anum? = what are [you] doing?

i, too, something (when the time allows) turn into this romantic sensual man. and start thinking that i should find a soulmate. but then i start thinking like Sip. i won't have the freedom i have. i won't be able to stay out all night without giving a long exprlanation to someone. i won't be able to go out of town with guys and not have someone call me at the time i least expect and ask the most annoying question in the world "ur es?". well, i guess i'm not ready for a serious relationship yet. but if it continues like this, i'm afriand i will never be. unless i meet someone who will completely conquire my heart and make me give up all that wonderful freedom i have.

another point is that men are not obligated to do anything (pay, open the door, etc). if i'm doing that (and i don't that almost always) it's not because i should, but because i choose so out of my good nature. (yah, yah, a little self-praiseing).

but empty worshipping gets quite boring after a while. i want a blessing in return (you know what i mean).

not exactly and this is exactly my point. there are not many ladies left that you can spend time with and feel that you're spending time with a lady. (too bad really) sometimes i feel as though there are just guys inside female body. (the language they use, the topics they discuss, the behavior, etc.). so, if they choose to be so (similar with me), then why should i be any more caring with them than they are with me? their body isn't any superior than mine, is it?

hey, why should i be a good old gentleman, when the woman isn't a good old lady, if you know what i mean? but let's not mess Alik's topic.

you can have mine.

It's not every regular Khachik Khachikian's responsibility to preserve a culture, teach history, or play in political games. we have a government, we have governmental and non-governmental institutions that are designated for those purposes. unfortunately, many diasporans don't want to accept this fact (the existance of the government) and gather around it. instead, they try to accomplish those things individually or in small (fanatical) groups, which most of the times leads to even greater disasters. this is how i see it.
