  1. here it comes... i have a friend, who has a tennisist friend, who is a good friend with Sargis Sargisyan, who in turn is a good friend with David Nalbandian. and the word is that Nalbandian is a great person and a great Armenian.

    he he. actually we should try that. that would be one heck of a show, especially after the party. ok, getting serious here... i voted 'NO' on the poll. i'm too much of a humanist and forgiving. but i thought that few things weren't right, even though they were to support my view on the issue. unfortunately i don't have any reason to justify my vote. i just don't feel comfortable with taking someone's life.

    i guess my question was more of a philosophical. while i understand that they (people you're making fun of) have the right to have a lifestyle of their choice, and that you have the right to bash them (express your opinion), i want to know whether your effort is justified. that is, is it right to take the time and try to make a change in others' lives (assuming you don't just enjoy doing it).

    Anyone Seen Aliev ?

    there is a millenium-old Armenian "arak" by Aygektsi or Gosh, don't remember now. to recall and translate it on the spot it would go something like this. "there was a king. he was very crule and inhumane. there was an old lady. she would always go to church and pray for him. the king was very surprised. on day the king called the old lady to his palace and asked: 'i have always been crule to you and your people. why do you pray for me?' the lady answered: 'when your grandfather was the king, he was very crule. i cursed him and he died. your father became the king and he was even worse than your grandfather. i cursed him and he died. you became the king and you are worse than your father. now i pray for you, so you will not die and your son become the king'" "araks inch kusutsane..." interpret yourself...

    Death Penalty

    who has the right to take away somebody else's freedom?

    Death Penalty

    not necessarily. it can be used to teach others to not do the same thing. you hang a robber in the middle of square, then pour gasolline and burn him... see how many will continue to rob.

    so, how better is it to imprison someone for the rest of his/her life for something he/she didn't do.

    Arpa

    i think (not sure) it's from Persian 'dukhtar' to mean 'dustr' (in Arm) / doughter (in Eng).

    Mj's Article

    if the question is solely about the Genocide, then i, personally, don't give a damn whether Turkey, US, or the rest would recoginze it properely or not. and why should i? it's not going to change my perception of Armenians, Turks, Americans, or the rest. nor is it going to change the way i, as an Armanian, show my face in the public. nor is it going to make any physical or moral changes for Armenians (no, i don't believe that it will have any positive moral effect on Armenians) i know the history. and even if i don't, then what my great-grandparents went through are enough for me to lay a flower for them and the rest of the victims on that one day of commemoration. many may disagree with me... but what the heck... no one has agreed with me on anything recently anyways...
  18. i've seen many comets, meteoroids, and satellites. but what i saw today was something incredible. those moving objects are usually going in straight line, but today's one (most likely a satellite) was a lost one. it was a wondering star (like the terminology?). it was circling and going in unpredictable path in one part of the sky for about an hour before it dimmed out. it was like a lost ant trying to find its path. it was amasing.

  20. honestly, i didn't read the entire article, but it is eyewitness account of the recent excavations at Ani and Kars. i browsed through and it was also talking about a foreigner. i thought that might be you.
