oh, and nice to see you back vayri

I love this I think i'm going to start calling a LOT of people "whack otar"

Don't kid yourselves, the Pope has been dead a long time - ever seen "Weekend at Bernie's?" I'm sure the cardinals have been keeping him around as a puppet for years! ok, now I go to hell.

Someone passing is a personal experience, one that every family has a right to go through without further encumberances. The fact that this turned into a media and political circus is the saddest part of it all. My heart goes out to Terry, who merely wanted to go in peace...

Is it a painting? I thought it was photographs... (of the actual installations of course...)

Who would have thought someone by the name of Buzz Baxter would turn out to be of Armenian origin? Nice find Arpa jan!

Thanks Mosjan! I notice that Datevik also has a jazzy version of the song too. Shnorakalem.

Mogatz harser@ Does anyone know this song? I think it's by nune, but I'm not sure. If anyone knows it, and knows where I can get/buy it please either post in this thread or PM me.... thanks!

Well you certainly have a way with words

I have a feeling that a lot of these things are merely rumours spread by those who have their agendas. It could simply be that he really believes that SHE doesn't want to continue living under these circumstances. I know I've already told my loved ones that if ever, god forbid, I am in a state where I cannot communicate, and I need machinery and/or some medical apparatus to remain alive - than please, pull the plug and let me go in peace. (but obviously, don't let me starve to death!)

Not much - but in all fairness, i wouldn't just assume that Burnei must be like XYZ. If I don't know, i'd ask questions, i'd take the opportunity to learn. When I was 8 I met someone from St-Lucia. I had no idea where that was, but I didn't end up looking like an ignorant ass. Polite curiousity can go a long way....

Our family once was described by our a neighbour as 'that packie family' (!) This was about 1980 or so, and we were living in a very homogonous white, anglo-saxon prodestant town. I was just a kid, but i felt humiliated (not that there's something humiliating about being pakistani - it was just the realisation that nobody in this new world had any idea about 'who' we were.)

Your probably right - I'm just question how the post was formulated, that's all.

Getting back to Shiavo, all I have to say is this: It's an oxymoron at best when a society puts someone like Jack Kevorkian in jail, while they allow someone to starve to death. Why isn't a more humane alternative than starvation 'legal'? I mean, how much more could one suffer than to die of thirst and starvation? It's truly horrible. And just to clarify - the question here isn't "should she be forced to live, or left to die" - it's obvious now that the choice has been made in favour of the latter. Now the question is "how is she to die?" Starvation? That would be right there at the the tail end of my list, along with flesh-eating disease and drowning in hot cooking oil.

Such sweeping allegations with so little evidence

phorming phamilies?

Siamanto, As indicated above, I have edited the links in your posts and changed the URL tags to CODE tags. This is merely to avoid supplying these types of propoganda sites with increased search engine traffic (be it google or other) via bots, crawlers etc. Readers may still copy and paste the URLs into their browers if they are curious about the sites themselves, but at least we're not 'promoting' them with direct links. Thanks for your comprehension

Wow Gams! That looks amazing! I'd love to see more, if you have the time that is....

well, what do you know? Paul Motian's an Armenian. I always thought he was from Phillie.

My thoughts exactly!

Bill Evans was a genius - but I don't think people gave enough credit to Paul Motian for his contribution to the Bill Evans Trio. He's a drummer extroadinaire. I heard an early recording of his with Thelonius Monk which was just amazing! There's no doubt that Paul Motian is, as you say, a 'colossal ... figure in american jazz' but where did you get information that he's an Armenian?

I had NO idea Paul Motian was Armenian

Hey! I was there in December! I had a wicked chili - muchos delicious! But there were no bikers - i guess 'cause of all the rain...

good grief!
