WHAT? Is this new?
Once Hagarags book is compleated, we must help him to produce a film based on it. Do you imagine.

 

The film title "Hagarag: The Movie" when you see scences in it, Hagarag on his keyboard answering people on hyeforum in his bedroom, while a man and a women on his bed are waiting him to close his computer to come and join...

BTW Hagarag, I have read that you compleated some chapters of your book, for the interest of the forum participants, have you chosen the titles of those chapters ? And if so, could you tell us what are those titles.

nairi - does that mean that you are bisexual as well?

 

I think that there is a bit of leftward bias in the survey (which really tells you something about our forum members who scored to the right). I really enjoyed listening to my work collegue talking to himself as he answerd the questions...he is a good guy but if one is down & out or a little iffy like hagarag - well - I'd feel sorry for you gusy if he were in charge. And I'd be very surprised if anyone scored more libertarian then I...these beliefs are fundemental to who I am- like MJ I just so wish that the rst of the world could live up to my ideals.

Nairi - I (may) wish many things baby! - but they are not precluded on you desiring your same sex! (but I wouldn't necisarily turn down an invitation (to watch)!) LOL - Besides I am very happily married (and generally well satisfied)...such a traditionalist I am...

After a couple of days and since the discussion has turned towards Nairi's & Hagarag's sexuality, we have shifted MORE towards the left:

 

Average:

Economic Left/Right:-2.97

Authoritarian/Libertarian:-2.46

 

(this is including Thoth's right wing friend)

 

Thoth, if you're right, and we're all centrists, there is a significant bent to this survey.

I never claimed tha we were all centrists per se. There are also some forum members who could take the test and likely shift our averages up and to the right a bit. But yes I still think that there is a bias to the test. And like anything we shouldn't place too much faith in the results.,,though I think it was fun and not so far off the mark in general.

Sorry Thoth, I didn't mean to imply that you said we were all centrists. And of course, this is based on a very small sample size. But I think it's fair enough to draw some general conclusions about the web Armenian community (at least here on Hye Forum), non?

Despite the bias....

Hovsep,

 

You resemble the self-appointed leaders on the libertarian scale. In a survey slanted to produce more negatives, these so-called leaders would score more on the authoritarian side. As for the economic scale, it would depend if you were in a socialist nation (or former socialist nation) or in the West.

As always, these things are done in a dishonest way - to arrive to the desired results.

 

I turned to be leftist...

 

However, I do agree that the web community is significantly leftist. This is also correct when speaking of the Armenian web community.

 

Moreover, since the late 19th century, Armenians have been predominantly leftist.

 

Armenian centrist thought is an aftermath of post-Soviet era.

Domino,

 

There is something that we humans are capable of and that is strong discipline. Would you be surprised that in the past 20 years the only person I ever had sex with was my ex-wife? In the age of AIDS and other STDs, anything else is suicide. I do not believe that condoms are safe. So my story is much more boring that you would believe. My bisexuality is a state of being, not presently being acted upon.

Azat,

 

You have chosen to post here, as have the others in this forum. If the majority here are more leftist/libertarian than you that is because those here left the other Armenian forum when the Jew-haters took over there. Why do you conservatives feel that you have to RUN away?

Ideally we would have representation from a wide variety of points of view: right/left, green/purple, whatever. Even if the general population here may have liberal tendancies, we seldom agree even amongst ourselves... so no one needs to runaway.

 

Besides, a fun little survey shouldn't pigeon-hole us into a way-of-thinking.

One thing I know there is no one in this forum that is going to run me away , give it your best and see , I tilt to the right when it comes to religion , and I am in the center when it comes to helping people to stand on their own , I dont force my believes on no one but I am not afraid to say my mined , and I did not tear my hair when I have been atacked by one individual because in his opinion I was an Arapahye I dont call people names when I dont like their opinions , calling people names is weeknes , every one have the right to be himself , do you imagin how boring it would be if you are in one place and every one is thinking the same I mean carbon copies I will exept you the way you are and you have to exept me for what I am or els we are never going to get any where , I am waiting for your responses .
