It was only a bit of humor. Lighten up.

The reality is that the days of the politically convenient (for NATO and America) break-up of Yugoslavia are over. NATO had too many other fish to fry, and America is like a disgraced relative whose has committed one perversion too many. So, in the resulting vacum, we have a rare outbreak of honesty at the International Court of Justice.

I suppose it depends on the length of the words, the font size, and whether lubrication is available.

At the moment you are just a silly schoolboy. Your youth makes your words forgivable and ignorable - but youth doesn't last long so you should try to smarten-up asap.

You want to believe something bad? You give cheers for receiving what is unverified and probably a lie?

Though, it's fun to laugh at the not so intelligent. Misuse of Japanese in tattoos

If you are not angry that some people are trying to make money out of someone's murder by producing labels and mis-representing them as proper stamps issued by the French state, then you are the one with the problem.

It is not a stamp. It is a privately produced label. No postal validity.

Would it not be easier just to contact the poster of the video file, hasanabi, and request him/her to send a copy direct to you in the original format?

Thanks to Bush's tyranical regime any country can label you a "terrorist", for whatever reason, and because of "intelligence sharing" between countries you will be treated as a terrorist in every country. Worst if you simply share the same name as an alleged terrorist! There was a case in Europe (Spain I think) a couple of years ago about a man being shot by police simply because he had the same name as a terrorist suspect. There was also a case in Australia of a British pensioner visiting on a holiday being stopped on a motorway by dozens of armed police, bundled into van, and taken to a police cell and held for several hours for the same reason, even though she was about 3 times the age of the wanted person!

Yes, and also no. http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/al.html says that the curent design, the all-black eagle on an all-red background, dates from the 1939 occupation of Albania by Italy. The previous versions had colour variations to the background and to some features on the eagle's body. It's a bit ironic that mostly Muslim Albania and Kosovo should have a flag whose origin dates from a 15th century rebellion by a local Christian ruler against the Muslim Ottoman Empire.

Yeh, I remember - but I also remember I had said in a previous post that almost nobody except you bothers reading or even remembering past posts.

There are a lot of photos here - but they are not well organised and most have little or no proper captions. http://www.armeniangenocide.com/photos/ http://www.armeniangenocide.com/photos/sho...00&ppuser=1 has the most

Armenians are experts in numerous subjects, the most notable ones tend to specialise in the highly-specialised fields relating to being idiots, bastards, cunts, backstabbers, and loud-mouths.

The use of the flag in the 20thcentury dates from the German-backed regime set up there during WW2.

The feast of Theophany, the traditional date of Christ's birth, is on the 18th January according to the Julian calendar.

If I knew who they were I would say who they were. But the number of possible candidates is small.

And what of the anonymous academic "experts in the field" (there were four of them) who (probably for a substantial fee) OK'd GHF's secret report on Ani (a report which was then submitted to the Turkish Ministry of Tourism, enabled GHF to obtain exclusive access to Ani, and represents GHF's official position on all aspects of Ani including its history). As to identifying who the four were, the list of possible names is short and mostly consists of Armenians - make your own guesses.

There was an Istanbul Armenan newspaper (Agos?) that was boycotted by the Armenian patriarchate in Istanbul for several months last year. They withdrew all their advertising business (church announcements and that sort of thing) after the paper had printed some criticism of Mutafyan.

"View of the Ottoman government" What is meant by the word "view"? If it means "belief" then it is totally misrepresenting the Ottoman government. If it meant "public statements" then that would be correct. But the word "view" does not really mean the same as "public statement". That Australian I quoted earlier, Robert Manne, said that the Ottoman regime considered the Armenians to be a subversive minority (i.e that they actually were a subversive minority) and he gets that information from reading Akçam's book. Is he misreading the book?

And the little creep would almost appears to be a reasonable, decent person compared to a lot of the members here. Little wonder that is why he gets control of Ani and you lot can only sit and stew. (Having access to multi-million dollar funds also helps, of course).

Yes, AŞTİ, that palace of bus transport.

I'm sorry but I disagree. And Akçam is fundamentally wrong if that is his viewpoint. In fact, I would say it is denialism. The "subversive Armenians" claim was an excuse invented by the Ottoman government as a reason for the deportations - however it is not the actual reason for those deportations - the reason for the deportations was to enable the deportees to be killed.

However, it has resulted in some Australian-bush-beating nonsense. http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2007/s1846039.htm The Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire was not "subversive", so the reason for the genocide was not to get rid of a "subversive" minority. If Akcam is suggesting otherwise, then he has some serious flaws in his thinking.

As the brave Ayaan Hirsi Ali would stress, "Religion is not a race".
