ara baliozian Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 OBSERVATIONS******************************Self-objectivity: such a quintessentially un-Armenian virtue! Hope makes us optimists, fear pessimists, and reason realists. The purpose of a counter-argument is not to satisfy yourself but to expose the lies or prejudices of the opposition. If I ever portray myself as smarter or morally superior in any way, please feel free to dismiss me as a charlatan. To those who say "You sound like a broken record," I can only reply: When my house is on fire I cannot serenade the moon. If an answer does not lead to another question it will lead to a dead end. Only a fool believes that the ambition of every verbal commitment is to become a fait accompli. If we were to define a police state as one in which everyone wants to emigrate except the police, then present-day Armenia fully qualifies as a police state.

nairakev Posted May 30, 2001 Report Share Posted May 30, 2001 Unfortunately, it is true! Armenia is a police state... and I'm said about it badly.There is good sarcasm in your lines, ara:"If we were to define a police state as one in which everyone wants to emigrate except the police, then present-day Armenia fully qualifies as a police state. "I think this should be heard and said by all armenians.I think we have to continue to talk more about the social life in Armenia. Discussions are a part of contribution to beating "the police state". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
