Harut

he does have good songs, but most of them are so arrogantly along party lines that they make me sick...

because armenians are stereotyped for exactly the opposite reason...

Azat, maybe those social workers didn't understand you right when you said, "i have to feed my babies"... eh?

hahahaha.... Azat, now we know why you have a beard... to disguise yourself...

oh i love that...

the way i see it, the status quo does not bother most men, because it's benefical for them... less competition, they have more chances to succeed, they have contorl, etc... in general it's better to be man... so, most men dont' try to change anything (which is understandable to certain extend)... and women... there is no movement to change anything... no movement, just small unimportant organizations...

it's just that yerevantsi are more aware of the corruption and all the other nasty things that are going on at the higher political levels...

i used to use opera when i was on win98 because ie used to have memory releasing problem... after opening and closing a few ie windows the memory would fill up and crash the machine... since xp, i've been using ie...

there is at least one in yereva... there was an interview on h1 a while back with her... ayspes asats "goghakan kin er"... btw, in soviet time, a big portion of traim operators were women... mostly russian desents though...

today? you still have fruits on the tree? we finished harvested our tree a month ago...

here is a good map of armenia... http://corner.dark.am/images/maps/armenia.jpg

no, seriously... i saw her at the car wash... a brand new benz pulled into car wash area... a mid-aged, beautiful woman got out... dressed casually, but very nicely... and then my eyes cought her socks... dirty, torned... like she just pulled them out of mud...

awfully dirty socks on otherwise beautiful and rich lady... begs the questions... wtf?

as i was arguing in this thread, when we are encountering a new thing, a concept, etc., i think it is absolutly unnecessary to try to name them with words that are literal translations of words already used in other languages... in this case we have a phenomenon that we need to name... it need not be a base for us that they refer to it as 'corruption' in english... it could help, but we don't have to literally translate it, as that word itself was borowed from the dictionary to name this phenomenon and was not a original word for this phenomenon... so, that word was the best suited for it in english, but it may not be in armenian... they may be a better suited word in armenian to name this phenomenon, which is NOT the direct, literal translation of the word 'corruption'... words, such as այլասերում [aylaserum], ապականում [apakanum] are much better words to be used in this case, even though they may not be exact translations of the word 'corruption'...

the word program, as it refers to computer software, has no original base, meaning, it would be equally acceptable if it was called computer plan instead of computer program... so... why then when we use a word to refer to computer software, it has to be the literal translation of the word from english? true, the word ծրագիր may not be the exact, literal translation of the word program, but is it not a suitable word (i would ask, is it not the best word) in armenian to be used to refer to computer software? i think it is... btw, in modern EA, the words ծրագիր and հայտագիր are synonymous...

vochinch... mi erku angam kases, lezud kbatsvi...

i don't agree with any of the definitions of corruption so far... կաշառք is bribe, and կաշառակերություն is bribary... corruption is more than bribary...

program - ծրագիր programming - ծրագրավորում

հռոմ, հռիփսիմե, to name a couple of examples...

nevada, the most libertarian state of all, made some kind of amendment to state constitution about restricting smoking in restaurants and such... all the small businesses are in fury...
