Hmmm.... I guess in a country where Opels are a rarity, we don't have that impression. I drove an opel for a few years - but not a manta, a GT. IT was sweet.

What do you have against a Manta? I think they imported them at some point under the Chevrolet nameplate, that must have been the vega or the monza in the early 70's..... ouf.

There exists the possibility that he is not Gumen - and that he was merely taking credit for Gumen letter to Jimmy Carter etc. Regardless, this Holdwater fellow has incurred considerable damage through all of this - and that's a good thing....

or gain-gain, depending on how you look at things.

I did? I agree, but I don't remember saying that...

Nobody's "forcing" anything. If someone (man or woman) desires to partake in a particular relationship, he/she chooses to adapt to the said relationship. If you don't want to "change" in some manner, you are always free to terminate the relationship. Besides, who's to say the woman is not compromising when she "allows" her man to behave in a manner she doesn't appreciate? Compromise goes both ways, and amongst consenting adults, I see nothing particularly wrong with it.

I'm very good - so is the little one. It was a busy, but very gratifying summer. Thanks for asking Duk inchpes ek?

Wow - step away from a computer for a few weeks and look what happens! Movses, Azatik, Edo, Armen, Evelina, Domino, Sip & Anoushik jan(s) have a happy belated birthday! (did I miss anyone? )

And welcome back

I know some who might take offense to this statement! This one too! So I think what we're challenging is the idea of criminal "rehabilitation" and the methods used to attain such an end. Though by your coffee example, this is not limited to crime per se, but general misdeeds. What we should also look at is not just the rehabilitation model (ie. transmutation vs. suppression) but the vehicle that is employed to bring about the change. From my perspective, (and using your terms) "suppression" of a particular ailment via coercion is perhaps not that much different than "transmutation" via coercion. The motivation of the individual to self rehabilitate is key. Rather than focus upon the corrective path, it may be more constructive to analyse the required environment that enables the offending individual to 1) recognize that their chosen behaviour is undesirable, 2) realise that there exists a corrective path, and 3) desire/pursue the "correct" outcome.

I think I still have their Christmas album on vinyl - classic

Worked but came home to dinner & wine sitting on the table for me. Then I had to change diapers.

Only in California can you get stuff like this....

What the hell is going on dude? Allergies this bad? Have you seen the allergist yet? Be careful! (And maybe you should take a break from work and get this sorted out.....) Hope you feel better....

What's wrong with Bulgarian products? Does Bulgaria have an embargo against Armenia that I'm not aware of?

Ha! I think I dated 8 years before marriage.... I guess she was patient

agreed. I don't think anyone here is kidding themselves into thinking that we could make a dent in the Turkish ecomony. But this is a personal decision, and it's a grass-roots type of statement. I will not knowingly buy Turkish goods until relations are normalised (and that includes removal of the trade embargo). It's a principle and I don't think this kind of individual grass roots action should in anyway replace alternate efforts to build Armenia's economy. However, to deliberately support the industry of a country that is actively engaged in hostile trade practices against Armenia (or to not even care) is not very helpful at all.

Good news: FIFA rankings Armenian has moved up 48 spots to 80th!

On another note: THIS should probably be in the humour section...

Hyedefedayi - where did you find these pictures? If I'm not mistaken, then inscriptions are in French and I distinctly see the name Simonian, and even Chef Simonian.

Happy Birthday Mouse & Konfekta! cheers

Awesome....

I merged the new post into this thread since the article is a continuation of the original post...

I disagree. Not 'cause I'm a man, though. I think most problems occur when you're combining "wild/fast" drivers on the same roads as "passive/cautious" drivers. It's the difference in driving technique & reaction that often result in some sort of crash. If everyone is driving fast, and in a similar way, movement is fairly uniform, reactions are predictable and so, there's less variation on the road. When you combine the different type of drivers, you end up with varied reactions and stability, less predictability and the end result is more road conflict. Personally, I'd rather drive with someone going fast, who is aware of their vehicle, the road, and what's happening around them, then someone who's driving slow, but is afraid and uncomfortable behind the wheel and reluctant to react to the environmental conditions and other drivers.
