  1. I want to know what this thread has to do with "history". If it is a "joke" (which it seems like it right now), then I should move it into the humor section.
  2. "Turkey was nothing without Armenians" ... I don't know if that's innocent or just very naive! But Fad, how can one "blow" a vaccum bubble?

    Why Is It

    Why should I believe you? ... no YOU believe ME. It's irrelevant in most cases.
  4. Then how come they also have manged to piss off the Kurds, Greeks, Serbs, Germans, and everyone else around them? You think the greeks want to form "aliance" with the turks? You think the kurds want to be buddy buddy? What world do you live in? ... maybe in one of those parallel universes that Domino is always talking about.
  5. "public domain" and "bullshit domain" are very different things dude.
  6. I always get a kick out of these "fancy" menus ... "Caesar Salad *Prepared in a traditional manner $7.50" ... In other words, don't expect anything special but still $7.50 A friend, his fiance, and I had gone to Claim Jumpers a few months ago for dinner. He and I got the huge meat plates with the chicken and the ribs ... his fiance got the healthy whatchama whatever dealie. It was so funny when they brought her a full head of lettuce chopped in 4 parts with some dressing and bacon bits on it!!!!!
  7. Funny how you still aren't convinced of the ass kicking you will be receiving from me.
  8. You are right. It sounds very strange, especially if you put it in such incoherent and babbling terms. Please think, construct a draft, revise the draft, then post to avoid such public embarrassments for yourself.
  9. Lav er? Lav antsav? Norits kuzes het gnas? Um handipar?

    Why Is It

    That's not true. People give a lot less damn about "what you are" here than anywhere else in the world. That's not to say it is always a non issue .. actually far from it. But saying or not saying "I am Armenian" would typically not have much impact in one's career ... except maybe in politics. The key here in the US is the "don't ask don't tell" policy which I love! Who cares what you are!!!! Just show what you can do and let your actions speak louder than your "race".

    Odd!

    I am not a big fan of reading. I always get a kick when people use visual aids to convey a message. So I figured I'd rely back to a method as old as man himself ... communication by pictures ... I have a long road ahead but some day I am going to perfect this art form.

    Odd!

    NO. The owner of that car went to the delicious taco/burrito place accross the street and had one of these. As a matter of fact, it was one of the best chimichangas he has ever had in his life.
  14. But I have been known to say "... maybe things have worked out for the best", often followed by describing a scenario where things may have ended up very differently ... just to give a different perspective to the person to realize that not everything is usually as bad as it seems!!! Those kinds of things I do a lot and I find that they are usually helpful for people to better understand the position they are in. But they are very different than "oh it must have happened for a some reason that someone or something (i.e. some higher power?) intended".

    Death

    I haven't lost a parent yet but I'm sure the time will eventually come. I have lost a grandfather though a few years ago. I was the last one to see him. He suffered a lot in his life and watched a daughter, a wife, and a mother wither away and lose the battle to cancer.... well, his mom died of very old age Anyhow, the point is, he died with a smile on his face... as if saying that he was able to take all this stuff life had to throw at him and survive like a man! He was ready to let go and was done. I want to die like that. I don't believe in other side. I don't believe in ghost stories and people flying back and forth through multiple universes and spirits and big red rats with pitch forks. I believe in life and I think of death as the end to life. People have always tried to justify their current existence using their imagination and somehow concocting a "next step" ... well ... that's all it is. Imagination!!!!
  16. You will never hear me saying anything as stupid as that! Of course EVERYTHING happens for a reason. If there wasn't a reason, it wouldn't happen On a related note, I hate when people tell other people (like when taking a test) .. "oh don't worry. You'll do fine" ... or "it'll be alright" ... HOW DO YOU KNOW? Most of the time, they don't even know what's on the test. They have no idea how much you know. They don't know what your abilities are ... they just have an automatic way of saying "oh I'm sure you'll do fine" I try very hard never to make meaningless statements like that. But I am sure I am also probably guilty of that at times.
  17. A nose job is pretty tame these days. If it's going to help your self confidence and reduce the stress off your neck, then I don't see a problem with it. What I do have a problem with is people cutting up every nook and cranny of their body to make themselves into something they are not. Plastic and cosmetic surgery can make wonders for people ... but just like anything, it can be used for the wrong purposes.
  18. Well, the first question I have is how did you know you loved him or her in the first place?
  19. I don't know about anyone else but that gave me goose bumps.
