    Artsakh Dialect

    Welcome Sofia, Out of curiosity, are there significant difference between Artsakh dialect and other common dialects?
  3. haven't we seen this before? anyway, I guess since Pele stopped playing, I haven't been much of a football fan.
  4. Bari Nor Tari Marselliatsi (joie et bonheur en 2006)
  5. I don't follow any colege sports - after all I'm up here in Canada. We'd rather watch Hockey But my older brother had a subscription to Sports Illustrated during the years of Tark the Shark - and his downfall. It was a sad spectacle. In the end the smear campaign was successful, and now most people who remember Tark also remember someone who was perceived as a 'cheat'. Unfortunate as that may be...

    Chris Tucker? With the funny martial arts actor? Can't remember.... EDIT: Google helped my memory - I was thinking of Jackie Chan. Rush Hour 2.

    I'm tired too. Good food/wine/drink make company seem to wish to remain at your place until 6:15 am. Oh my. It's 6:15 am. How did that happen?

    Wine

    I suspect that there are various types of blue cheeses and that their primary differences result from the provenence. Gorgonzola is Italian, different regions in Italy will make their cheeses with slight variations of technique. Add to that external variations, such as climate, humidity etc. the resulting cheese is quite different. Roquefort is French, Stilton is English, and then there are Danish varieties, German and so forth.... This is all conjecture - but it seems reasonable to me...

    Go back a few levels. Is Christianity the truth?
  18. From your first post: In case you didn't notice, you were insulting people. You reap what you sow, my friend. Like I said - people respond in kind. If you take the time to express your position in an appropriate manner, I doubt that others would resort to rebukes. I'm singling you out because you were the instigator. But the mods note the other comments as well - don't you worry about that. Ditto. Now let's get back to the thread shall we?
  19. Dear Disgusted, I sincerely hope that you have something postive to contribute to our forum. So far, you have only succeeded in making yourself look bad - not to mention insulting our members. 1. I suggest you familiarize yourself with our code of conduct - as you're in violation. You can find it HERE. 2. Remember that repect begets respect. Argue your points articulately, and you'll find that others do likewise. The alternative usually results in a lot of foaming at the mouth, and hurling personal insults. We try to avoid the latter. Thank you.
  20. The bomb. Great - we'll be declared in the axis of evil along with Iran. Perfect solution for the betterment of Armenian. With respect to both of you, I disagree 100%.
  21. Except for tomatoes, and perhaps a buffet or two
  22. This is probably one of the first times that we've significantly disagreed And yes - perhaps my 'all or nothing' viewpoint merits being called unreasonable - I'll take that. But I remain convinced that taking the life of any individual (be it a good life, or a 'threat' to society - by whoever's standards) is apprehensable. Where I was going with my previous post, is that once you deem it within the scope of the law to 'legalize' murder - state sactioned at that - it leads to a slippery slope. Laws are made by people, and people are prone to errors in judgement. Let's not put the right to kill in 'ordinary people's hands. As you said the line is not solid. Criminal X may be sentenced to death while Criminal Y get's to live - and the crimes may be quite similar; it will depend on WHO does the judging. That too is incorrect. Finally, you've shot down your own "save our resources" argument. Every death sentence will be accompanied by appeals, more appeals and sumpreme court decisions. Everyone of these guys will deny his crime. Courts are costly - and before you know it, you've spent more money defending your prosecution case/sentencing, than you have if he'd been put away for life. Here in Canada (in the last few years) I know of at least three cases where a criminal convicted of murder, serving a life sentence hsa been exonerated due to new evidence - Marshall served 18 years in prison before being declared not-guilty. Have if we had fried the guy? Who pays for that?
  23. Oh come on?! Where do you draw the line? Next thing you know you'll be wacking the seniors, the sick, the physically/mentally challanged and so forth. The whole world is FULL of "useless human infestation" are you going to start culling the world of 'gene' superiority too?
