Sip

I said "at least 30" because that's the best answer I could give. I'm about to turn 30 and I doubt I'll get married before my brithday ... actually, I doubt I would ever get married but who knows how I'll feel about it after 35 or even 40. There's still A LOT of things I need to do before I even begin to think marriage.

Vow vow vow easy with the big statements <_<

Yah maybe I did declare it a bit too soon

Can someone please explain to me how Jesus dying "for us" is a sacrifice? If He was the Son of God (or just "God" as some claim), why would dying for God's message be any sort of sacrifice? I mean I would understand if He gave up something special to die but He was going to heaven so what could possibly compare to Heaven that would constitute the tradeoff a "sacrifice"? Also, all these slogans of "Jesus died for our sins" ... how did He die for "our sins"? Didn't He die for His own benefit to go to Heaven?

At least 30 years old.

... or maybe Sip doesn't tend to assume anything about a person by their forum name alone? But my appologies if I should've used "herself"

Can someone please tell me what Hezbolla has done for Armenia? Also between Azerbaijan and Turkey vs Armenia, which side would Hezbolla be on?

I understand how there can be a LOT (and many of it justified) negative feelings about Israel. But no matter how much you hate Israel, I cannot comprehend how anyone can be supportive of Hezbolla or ANY radical muslim group Are the enemies of my enemies are my friends? Not often, especially when dealing with a bunch of, I repeat, MORONS.

Verginne is talking for himself regarding the "unwanted" part. 15levels, first of all, stay safe but please do continue to keep us updated from your side. For me, I think it's very valuable to have both Sassun's version and yours. Otherwise, I would be very reluctant to "believe" either one by itself. Sassun, the staying safe wishes applies to you as well!

Oh damn! As of today, my DSL gets: 4960 Kbps downstream, 630 Kbps upstream !!! I was getting 1.2 Mbps for the last 3 years here with SBC Yahoo DSL. I had 128K up for regular DSL. Upgraded to DSL pro last year and started to get 430Kbps up ... down stayed the same at 1.2. This year, I upgraded to DSL Elite ($27.99 vs $36.99 for DSL Pro ) and again my upstream went up to 630Kbps but downstream stayed the same at 1.2 Mbps. I called AT&T (SBC) and after a lot of back and forth (and I mean a lot!), they sent some guy to check out the cables outside the house today. I don't know what he did but now I'm getting nearly 5 Mbps down! Moral of story? Check your speeds and bitch at the ISPs if they are too low!!! http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest is a good place to check speeds usually.

Sure ... him AND his cabinet AND Zidane and anyone else who just can't let things go sometimes. Israel at fault ... Arabs at fault ... of course it's never that simple. They are ALL at fault. Who was at fault when Iran and Iraq beat the snot out of each other (millions died) while I was growing up? And what happened in the end? Nothing ... there are still sheepites, there are still sunnies, and they are both far worse off than they started. When will these MORONS all wake up and realize none of what they have been slaughtering each other for, for millenia, is worth a damn. Allah? Whatever the Jews believe in? God? And at the same time they are all VERY quick to condemn the great satan while they could all learn something from what we have in the US.

So are Armenian sausages considered "Hallal" in Iran?

Hmmmm ... if there is no war, then you cannot just go and kidnap soldiers. Kidnapping soldiers IS an act of war in itself. And guess what ... war's never pretty. In war, people DIE ... pure and simple. But with these morons (on BOTH sides), I don't think there's really any answer but a military standstill. Both will beat each other up until again they come to a stand still after many many deaths. Freaking MORONS is all I have to say.

What I personally can't wait for is all the new posts we are going to get in a few months about how the Israeli's, through strong jewish loby in the US, got Ahmadinejad elected in Iran so they would have a chance to level southern lebanon and stregthen their military grip over the region by getting rid of the local Hezoblla ... oh I can just see this coming

This may be a different "Sassun" (new member). There is also a "Sasun" which may be quite confusing.

This is awesome!!! http://media.putfile.com/Zuk-Hill-Edited

Why? How do you know so much about gays?

I have to say that I DO agree that they should either abide by the rules of the church or get out. Demanding that the church change itself to conform to the lifestyle of everyone defeats the purpose of a church as it is designed. But being a part of the church or not should have no bearing on their level of "Armenianness". I think the two, the church and being armenian, are two completely separate issues. As far as "trying it before knocking it", I only suggested it because you did Anahid. All in all, I don't really need to cut my hand to know that it's not something I would like ... same thing with religion ... same thing with homosexuality.

I'll try it if you and sSebB will try homosexuality before calling it a sickness. Deal?

Homosexuality cannot possibly be as big a mental sickness as religion (if at all).

I think the Germany-Portugal game was one of the best, if not the best. Also, the earlier group games were quite enjoyable at times. But once the elimination round started, things went downhill IMO.

Gentlemen, please. Please keep such comments to PMs and emails.

Wow I think Zidane definitely deserves the award for best header

oh man ... don't get me started. I think Ronaldo deserves an oscar for his performance this year.

If ANYONE would know such things, it would be phantom. I'm sure he'll be able to list their entire geneology as well as all their spouses, mistresses, and lovers throughout their lives
