By the way, we are probably related.I was taught from very early childhood all Armenians are the children of Noah.

Yes the good old solar clock.On rainy day you didnt have to work because the clock was broke.Or you could tell your boss the alarm didnt go off and that is why you were late.:)Five wooden poles and the dates for the winter and summer solstice.

I have just spent the past 45 minutes researching hunting oppertunitys in Armenia.Lots of luck.The wild game has been mostly exploited because of a lack of proper resource managment.You can hunt small game ducks,phesant,partrige and rabbits.Also there is boar hunting.What I dont like is the fact you can not bring in your personal hunting arms or any amunition. There is a government run hunting lodge for $35 U.S. per day, they supply the guns and as they say you buy the bullets.From what I saw in the photos of thir wepons they are in pretty much hard used condition and I would doubt there reliability.I think its a sad situation .

Hagarag The new defanition of polatics is=symantic gymnastics:)

HagaragI was not and did not mean to imply that you are not Armenian.What I was trying to get across to you was the two majaor partys have both been screwing the people for way to many years.They are all self absorbed pin heads.The people in governent that want to accomplish something are treated as heratics.They dont as the saying goes come on board or get with the pary program.I will repeat polatics has screwed up the American government.:)They are more concerned with personal gain then doing the job they were elected to do.Name me a polaticion who has gone through with a campain promise.

This topic cracks me up because of the two views. #1 the idealist,If you love something set it free. If it returns it's yours. #2The obsesive person,If you love something set it free. If it doesnt return, hunt it down and kill it so no one else can have it.

HagaragAs I said the party doesnt matter.DemocratRepublican its all the same crooked gang.Hooray for me and mine and screw you.That is why I say politics has screwed up government.The libritarians are looking good at this point in the game.

HagaragJfk was Bill clintons oldest brother:).I wouldnt have trusted either one around my daughters.If their wives cant trust them then how could the people of this country.I have seen them all come and go and no matter what party they are ALL the same .Hooray for me and f#$% you.I have seen the democratic party in action ,Look at the Daily familly.The sons are as big a ass as the old man was.The old man tried to have some of my friends and my head busted at their little Lincoln park party in Chicago.And who is the facists.The old man and his friend judge Hoffman were jerk off's and to tell you the truth NO-ONE misses thier miserable asses.The party doesnt matter they are all the same lepoard and have the same spots.The problem is polatics is ruining government.

HagaragIt seems no one looks at American polatics as it could and as I see it should be viewed.The government is a corperation and the elected official are the board of directors.You have the right to replace them every four years because of poor job performance.So wouldnt it be reasonable to be politically independent and say screw the party and do your dam job.

HagaragHow you have described yourself is as a undecided democrate with conservative tendencies.Or a independant with republican tendencies.Or just politically confused.

I have used the gps on my friends fishing graph when fishing the great lakes and it has put us within 1 meter of the location we fished the month before.Before that it was maps and sonar to find the bottom structure and that was a 50-50 chance to get within 100 meters of a location we fished before.It is very usefull fishing tool but I have never used it on land.I have been told I have the instincts of a homing pigeon on land.I have never been lost just a little confused for a month or two.

I often wonder how many people still have a grasp on simple skills. My brother in law asked me how to make a sun dial?I then went on to explain to him how to do it using five objects and two dates. What are the five objects and the to dates of the calander year?

I must have too much time to think of things when I work in my green houses or I wouldnt post in this thread.

I often think of what my father taught me about people.There are to kinds. #1 The good neighbor, He will give you a hand and is geniunally interested in you and your fammily and their wellfare. # 2 The pain in the ass,He sees what you have or how you live and he will do everything in thje world to bring you to his level. Whaen I was a kid i was a pain in the assw until my father taught me better. Now I will offer help to my neighbor evan if he doesnt ask.That way if he refuses he will turn his attention to the other neighbor and you then offer them help.

The dualityHighflyer's I judge those that I see doing what I could do myself if backed into a corner,Arraft,Sharon. Then I say that they should be found away off my planet and not allowed tto breath my air.The differance is I do not use violence against my fellow man unless forced to do so and i realize there is a civillized law of justifiable force.

My loathingshighflyer's Small sighted people that do not realize the faults they se in others is thier own faults. People who jude all instead of individuals. People who can not see their own faults and express that in front of others. The last loathing is what disarms your enemyopponants because this makes them look at theirselfs amnd they dont like what they see.

I still am glad to get a book as a presant.This morning my better half gave me a copy of(The William Saroyan Reader.If it had been burned to disc it would have ment nothing to me.It was the fact it is a REAL BOOK that is important.It is also the fact she is proud of my being Armenian and knowing a book by Saroyan would be important to me.The story I am reading from it now is (The Armenian Writers).I have read many of the contents allready but to be able to review them again at my lesiur is most relaxing.

The differance is you belive by choice because it has a logical meaning to you as the individual.It is not instilled in you from childhood as dogma is .You except or you do not .That simple to me.

HagaragIt is simple play both against each other and take all the both will give up .STAND ALONE.

Ara You exclude those of us that dislike the likes of Sharon and Arrafat they breath our air and soake up our sunshine and also share our planet!I have NO use for these kinds and would gladly help them find a way OFF. SO am I as despicable as Them? I respecet your writing and aggree with some of your ideoligys,but not all.I amm not a pacifast. So what is the ansewer?

HagaragYou forget Jesus taught faith not religion. That is the problem whe and our teachers have turned his words of faith into dogmareligion and have turned away from faith.

AzzatThe bathroom is the most relaxing and quite room in the house and it would be the last place I would bring a electronic devise because of the water eletric factor.Have you ever heard of candles.It is quite relaxing light to read by if the power goes out and you can't recharge your laptop.A book doesn't need batterys or recharging.Hell its very relaxing to go to the collage library and spend the day doing research.:)Its not out dated yet,till then.

TBI will most certianly find this book.I am sorry but I still see the tribal mind set and behaviour of the people of the stans most the same as when Kippling was writing of his experiances of being there.I also have spent a VERY LITTLE time there and found it to be much as he wrote.It is not what you know but who you know and are affiliated with.Very tribal.But I will most certianly find this book and read it and then give a reply.

The TV and radio are entertaining and can be a good sorce of partial information on their subject matter,but a book cant be beat.Find a TV show about plant or animal genetics that is subject specific.You wont as they only give a broad view to the subject.I might be the odd ball as fiction bores the hell out of me.Give me a science or history book anyday.I often tell my better half Steven King would be a pscyo killer if he didnt act out his bizare thoughts on paper.So books do have a value still evan though there is the electronic media.

Kippling(the man who would be king) will give you a insite of the mentality of the people of the Stans.They have not changed much since his times.
