Harut

that's one good piece of advice. i'm going to keep OUR faith and traditions, OUR VERY own faith and traditions. you know, the ones the Christians tried to erase from within us. how's that for a change?

i thought it was the Freedom Square just next to the Opera House.

why didn't you like "shaba daba dash". it was very nice, especially the opening accordeon. and sayat-nova was nice too.

so how can i be sure that you're not a krishna dude who's covering under a beautiful lady to win my heart.

in Armenia we used to stady the forth one, Austroleoid. why is it not present in American books? oh well, the whole world is in one big 'shila-shpot' anyways.

huh, and i thought you were one of those krishna dudes who came to convert us.

that doesn't smell good.

what do you know about all these?

open-minded? it's not about being open-minded. there are very very very few Armenians that absolutely don't care about race/ethnicity (maybe thoth is one of them, i don't know). i would even go further and say that most of those who are with non-Armenians are more prejudice. if someone is with a black, for example, it's not because he/she is THE one out of all 6 billion people out there, but because he/she is THE one out of all 1 billion (or whatever the number is) blacks out there. and it is highly unlikely that the saem person would be with non-Armenian white, for example. (vise versa and other combinations)

give me a break. what facts? facts don't grow on the trees. they are put forth my parties involed. if i don't have the slitest desire to be with someone why would i even initiate anything that would lead to it. there is nothing mysterious in it. people choose to be with someone because they choose to.

some people just love polygamy. plus, some people are just "cash cows".

hehe actually i was looking for that solution.

what's the probability that the Gogzilla is standing right outside of your door?

finally a good news after 3 looses in a row. now, if only they defeat Spain by a difference of 7 gols, they could even get the 3 place.

i had my fingers crossed that my name would not be under females. Karo under females...Aghavni under males...and basically listing of every single name that any Armenian every was called.

hmmm. actually i was thinking about "normal" europens/americans when typing that. but to answer you, because it is easier and doesn't require brains. plus, many Armenians here in US live in poor areas, surrounded by those kinds of people, and that's what they see all their lives.

one more supporter and i'll start seriously thinking about it.

because we are few, they are many because they are progressive, we are not because we are 'otaramol' because they are 'arajadem', we are 'hetamnats' because they don't care about Armenia, we care about Europe/America because we are poor, they are rich (we are doing something wrong, they are doing something right) . . .

don koko check this out http://www.armenians.com/rabiz and this will teach you some things http://www.razbirat.com

moghes (hahaha, i just couldn't resist. no hard feelings) you have no idea what rabiz is. search the forum. there should be a lot of info on rabiz. nevertheless, what you've described is a HUGE problem of its own. and, imo, more disgraceful and harming. btw, recently, i've being noticing a growing number of youth that are mixture of both (rabiz and "wannabes"). that's one confused bunch.

i don't think it's bad. and this isn't a new thing either. (many) Armenian teenagers have always (well, at least during last 50 years) tried to look and behave like Europeans. actually, i would not call it "trying to look and behave like Europeans", but rather "trying to look and behave the way that is 'cool' and in mode". the difference is that these days there is more (though not enough) freedom of expression, that news reach Armenia much faster, and that some have the means to afford those new things.
