I live everyday as if it were my birthday ... which probably doesn't say much! The only puzzleing thing was that I could see you were a bit mad at those who are not here, yet you were somehow blowing up at those who were here ... which didn't make sense at the time. My problem is that I am not that well versed in culture, history, social sciences, human-type stuff, and many other things. Therefore, I usually don't have many meaningful things to say about those things. However, I have learned so much in the past 6-months about certain subjects that is UNBELIEVABLE. That is one of the BIG reasons I keep coming back here. Even though in my relatively short stay here I have been called a homosexual, spy for the jews, not a "real" Armenian, and a member of the "borg" collective among many other things, I still have enjoyed every second of the important and not so important conversations I have had with the several pretty knowledgable individuals (and even with the not so bright crowd ... most of whom have long gone!). I think I am a much better person than I was 6 months ago mainly because I have been exposed to so many new ideas and ways of thinking. Heck I didn't even know what the word Diaspora meant before I saw it here. Now, if you ask me how you can add one and one and get 10, I could maybe say a couple of sentences without sounding too much like a 5-year old. Has this whole thing been good for the "Armenian" cause? I have NO idea. Has it been great for me? Hell YES!!! -------------------- I am not young enough to know everything. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 576 | From: Los Angeles, CA | Registered: Dec 2001 | IP: Logged

I spent just over two hours surfing around and all I could find were similar topics discussed in similar ways. Jewish chatters use the same type of language as Armenians do and they discuss both "important" issues as well as "futile" ones. I found one girl asking where she could find wedding dresses, another who asked for an explanation of some Jewish game, a man looking for his lost love and yet another 14-year-old boy asking whether masturbation is a sin. The reply to the latter was "y u do it?". Rubo jan, if you want a higher standard of discussion on this forum, why don't you start more threads? Don't blame Mosjan for trying to initiate a discussion (be it with newspaper articles). Although I do have to agree with you that out of the 900 members we have, not many are contributing. Then again not everyone has as much free time on their hands as we do... As for lectures by prominent Armenians: keep in mind that no more than 30% of any nation is "cultured" and "smart". More tourists come to Amsterdam to smoke weed and check out the red-light district than there are tourists visiting the Rembrandt and Van Gogh museums. It's a fact of life. If we were all as smart and cultured as you, there would be no farmers, police officers, construction workers, street cleaners, handymen, and all other occupations that do not necessarily require a high mental output, but that are indispensable in any civilized society. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 51 | From: holland | Registered: Jun 2002 | IP: Logged

Sip Member Member # 646 posted July 26, 2002 09:54 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that Armenians should not talk about cars, games, food, math, music, etc etc ... they should only talk about "Armenian issues" which probably means how Turks butchered us, how our ancestors arms and legs were cut off in bits and pieces and fed to the dogs, how our churches were burnt with people inside, and we are being oppressed day and night by everyone who beat us with chains ... how our grandfathers had to walk to school, bare-foot, up-hill, in snow, everyday both on the way from home to school and on the way from school to home. No wonder people stop showing up!!! I say you bring them in for the laughter and the fun, you keep them with the promise of an "enlightened" mind, and along the way, you teach them a few cool things. Am I so lost in the "diasporan" way? -------------------- I am not young enough to know everything. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 576 | From: Los Angeles, CA | Registered: Dec 2001 | IP: Logged

Rubo Junior Member Member # 908 posted July 26, 2002 09:35 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear Sip, this site since I joined reminds me the day I went to hear a distinguished politician (rather not reveal who) who made an effort to come to our Armenian community to talk about Armenian issues. Sadly only six people showed up. I was embarrassed to say the least. Yes, things we avoid discussing are the very things that we are guilty of, mainly indifference and slow suffocating soul killing Diaspora existence. -------------------- Armenian Solidarity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 49 | From: USA | Registered: Jul 2002 | IP: Logged

Rubo Junior Member Member # 908 posted July 26, 2002 09:04 PM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear S. and the rest of you guys. Where are all the members? Over 800 registered? Few are commenting but seem bored to death. Is it the assimilation syndrome? Go to Jewish sites and see the deference! Jeese you guys are more excited talking about cars and games then anything meaningful. I am disappointed to be honest. Cut and paste Mosjan's news just does not cut it bro, If I want to read the news I can go to the source. I want to know what you think! Anyway, I know after this my welcome is over but I rather be honest. -------------------- Armenian Solidarity -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posts: 49 | From: USA | Registered: Jul 2002 | IP: Logged

quote:Originally posted by Rubo:Dear MJ,Since you started this thread it would be proper to have your opinion as well. So far we got news clips from you, just curious. Regards Rubo, MJ and MosJan are two different people.

let's see if i can get to the topic. Sip, i think live converstations will not go away for a long time. even though all those new cell phones promot their ability of sending and receiving messages, we are going towards improving voice, and now implementing video conversations. the only posivtive thing about text converstion (besides the one that Nokia suggests: "save your voice" ) that i see is that we can communicate in different time frams. it's hard to find a time when two persons are free to talk. so one writes now, and the other on receives it when it's convinient for him/her (so i won't be called sexist). but then, we now have so good voice mail systems that take care of that. i think text conversation is just a temporary thing, until we will have sufficent techonology to have video forums, where i can recond myself, post here, and you will click and see me talking. and finally why write when it's faster to talk? and why read when it's easier to listen?

ha ha ha, it was a good one. the answer is 1. here is what is happening in c = (c++) % 100 expresion. 0. c=99 1. c%100 2. c=99 3. c++ 4. c=100 and one more time 0. c=100 1. c%100 2. c=0 3. c++ 4. c=1 i know where you got confused. 99%110 gives 99 not 0. and you tried to confuse me with and () around c++? even with the () it doesn't the effect of ++c. any more problems?

what is this whole thing about? here is my story of my football career. i had just come from Armenian. it was my second day of school and Physical Education class. on the first day we had a running test, from which i was excused but ran anyway to show off in front of some cute girls i met that day. i tried very hard and got the best time in 100-meter sprint. so on that second day we were playing football, a completely new sport to me. and some stupid guy decided to pass me the ball, because i was the fastest in the class. i triped on the wet grass, almost fell, paused for a second and kept my balance. and the next thing i remember was seeing some 10-12 guys running at me and jumping on me. well, the rest you can firgure out yourself. that was my last day of my football career. good story, huh? i should get this published in the paper. well, everybody else does.

gamavor's list of what? who are those people?

though i won't be as harsh as Rubo, but i would say that this last album is just stupid. the melodies might be intersting to listen to to some point, but the lyrics are just horrible. it's like, "mardkants dzer a arnum". it's like, he wants to say "i didn't have any lyrics written, but i needed money, so here are some songs that i wrote over night". i was very disappointed.

don't warry Acc., i'm not accusing the driver or you of drinking and driving. i'm just giving an advice that came to my mind after reading your post and remembering that you love to drink.

quote:Originally posted by Accelerated:What happened to me can happen to anyone, thats a fact of life. yes, and that's a though luck.but i think WE are responsible for most of what happens to us. you have been mentioning too many times that you love alcohol, and i was just trying to give a good old advice: don't drink and fly. i mean drive.

copied from Accelarated's profile: Interests: ALCOHOL, cars, chicks (in that order) let me add another interest to your list: ALCOHOL, cars, chicks, grave (in that order)

thanks Sip. the shut down thing i found just after posting the message in MSDN, haven't tried it yet though. for the second one, i asked a wrong question. i need to make it full screen. it is running in console window. i'm just messing around with these stuff. i just write bunch of stupid aps and get in my friends' nervs. but i still learn from those.

People, i need help! how can i shut down Windows with BV or C++? is there any such statement or object that i can use? at least, how can i display the shut down box? one more thing. how can i miximize my output window in C++? with code, not manualy. thanks

Sip, qez hastat khapel em. yes vor avto ara, het@ 2 hat aghjik ekav.

i like performance by Forsh (i only heard him singing this though). he has two variations, the traditional one and lately he made a club remix. i think you could find him on Armenian stores. he is pretty good singer.
