Could of been anything really....

it just jumped out of gear..... yeah. right.

Dude that sucks - it's tough as it is to find 'allies' in business... but on the positive side, with your skills and experience, you won't have any trouble getting yourself settled in somewhere else.

My thoughts exactly!! Our fingers are crossed!

Anahid jan, yete chat zhamanak es kortsenum ira het, potch@ bats togh yev iran mi pataskhani. It's that easy

In all fairness - i think this zurderer doesn't have bad intentions - he's obviously young, and a little misguided perhpas. I'm sure he's questioning his beliefs on matters involving Armenians... a little education and sincerity on our part, and maybe he'll become one of the "enlightened" Turks who finally understand and accept the truth behind the genocide - and become advocates for genocide recognition. That would be my hope - rather than him going to hell.

Actually, in my opinion, Jack Layton has run a fairly solid campaign. He's on the CBC tonight in fact - we'll see how that goes. I know that those are Lauzon's own opinions and not the party platform - but the party has too keep these guys in check. The last thing we want here is to re-elect that two-faced brat Lapierre. I'm not as optimistic as your 35-40 seats for the NDP. I don't think they'll get that much - especially if fear of a Harper majority takes hold, and some soft NDP voters abandon ship in order to block the conservatives through the liberals. Martin is already setting his sites on the NDP support. Let's hope for a minority - Martin needs a miracle, and Harper's just a scary Reform party fanatic.

For your benefit: So no you guys know that hospital facades are lit - and not enlightened, or lighted.

About Harris: True leftists mistrust him because he advocates good business practices - the moderates mistrust him because he puts environmental concerns ahead of other political issues. What a vote for his party accomplishes - if there's enough of them, of course - is to send a message to mainstream parties that: a sustainable energy plan, the responsable treatment of natural resources and a commitment towards environmentally friendly policies are key to this country's future properity. We cannot compromise on these issues without undesirable consequences for future generations. Zareh, I like your scenario - but for two things. The conservatives are precariously close to majority government. The NDP is going to lose its credibility quickly with fanatically 'gauchiste' types like Leo-Paul Lauzon, who seems like a really intelligent person until he starts going on about *Nationalising* the oil & gas industries in canada. That sort of thing happens in 3rd-world countries not in Canada! The second we 'seize' the assets of multinationals - poof! there goes all the foreign investment in this country. Jeeez - I like the NDP, but let's not turn things over to comrade Lauzon.

Evidently you missed something.

How quickly Canadians forget. They're about to elect the leader of the (ex) Reform party - if "Standing up for Canada" means standing up for zenophobia, homophobia, american-style private healthcare and corporate tax cuts, then I'm going to have to move south of the border. The smartest thing that Reform did, was to re-brand themselves as 'Conservatives'. And now, what a pickle we're in... Actually, I don't mind so much if it's a minority - the Liberals need a wake up call. Twelve years has infected their thinking - they were acted as thought they're infallible. So the Conservatives in a minority government will have the additional challenge of reigning-in their hard-liners for an extended period of time if they want to continue portraying themselves as moderates - not to mention honouring their fiscally irresponsible promises. If it's a minoirty I give it less than two years. And I think I'll vote Green - just to at least try to send the message to Harper and his cronies that Kyoto *IS* important.

That's a very simplistic take on things Anahid. I don't think that by bristling his furr at the west, and the UN (it's not just a stance against the US, btw) he is going to make allies in the arab world. Most of the arab world has figured out that properity is easily reached through proper diplomacy and trade. They have long realised even if you dislike your customers, you must sell your wares - so you do it with a smile. So in short, no: no one will come watch Iran's back for the sake of some fundamentalist ideology. The sooner Iran implements reforms, and begins to further integrate itself within the global society - the sooner it will help itself attain prosperity for it's people. Iran should be a 'have' nation, not a 'have not' nation, and if this crackpot continues along this path, I see only a bleak future for the Iranian people.

I would venture to say that it's not so 'fine' - more like a chasm. But this new leader of theirs is digging them into deep international doo doo. I hope the friendly economic relations between Armenia and Iran don't have poor consequences for Armenia as a result of his crazy ranting.

I'm not sure if I had already posted this - if that's the case, then I'll make it up to y'all... you'll be invited to come over to Azat's place, and he'll create you a superb dinner the way only Azat can. Here's a geek joke: What did c:\DARTHVADER say to c:\DARTHVADER\LUKESKYWALKER ? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "Luke, I am your folder." I know, I deserve to be shot for that.

Anahid jan, katak im anum - that's why there is one of these at the end of my sentence --> I'm sure there are *at least* a few good restaurants in Texas....

<_< we don't believe you. In Texas - what else do you serve besides beef?

One of my favourite clients got 'downsized' today... that makes three in the last two months - and they say the economy is going well..... I'm quickly having to re-establish many of the relationships that have made my past few projects successful Hopefully the new folks 'in charge' will have as much common sense as the latest batch. Otherwise I'll be raw khorovats.

And what about this: ( I guess these Turks would go to jail under such a new law!)

Arpa jan, stalking (and threatening someone) always has been illegal. Now sending someone an email (or posting in a forum) that just happens to annoy someone - can land you in jail! Especially if you're using an alias, like Arpa, or vava. (!)

Warning: (especially for Juggs) Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties and local pubs, to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink from any woman. Many females use a date rape drug on the market called "Beer" to target unsuspecting men. The drug is generally found in liquid form and is now available almost anywhere. It comes in bottles, in cans, from taps, and in large "kegs." Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and have sex with them. Typically, a woman needs only to persuade a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no-strings-attached sex. Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several beers, men will often succumb to desires to perform sexual acts on horrific-looking women to whom they would never normally be attracted. After drinking Beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that "something bad" occurred. At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life savings, in a familiar scam known as "A Relationship." It has been reported that in extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer-term form of servitude and punishment referred to as "Marriage." Apparently, men are much more susceptible to this scam after Beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females.

Mosjan, I think some of our members will soon be serving serving jail time
