Freedom of speech is all well and good - and I certainly would not (nor have I) advocate(d) silencing Artur...it is he who has labled my views disgusting and unacceptable - etc. and has suggested that I have no place here - that I am not Armenian etc

Don't blame him for what? The terrible conditions in Armenian today? I don't understand...

one thing you Westerners don't understand (or don't want to understand) is that what Artur says is what he was tought. that's the way of thinking he has, and i don't see anything wrong in his thinking. he states something, then he brings reasons for that. those reasons might not please you Westerners, but those are things that in his society people value the most.


I/we understand that he is representing traditinal views and to some extent Eastern views and that (many) people live like he describes and think such. Maybe it is "right" for them (though I would appreciate more women's views on this (if they are allowed to speak). In general though I think that Artur and those like him portray life in the West as much more different from the traditional than it in fact is (in many respects). It is also he who is rejecting the differences - rejecting change. Most of us understand how things are & were & still even are here in many places.

start looking to the issue from the other side! what Artur thinks is thought by majority in his society, and that's why those things are still important there. so, if that's what majority wants and accapts then that's what ought to be there (again, aren't you ones promoting this?). and you can't tell that that's wrong, because that's right for them.


See above. Is it the majority? Again I suggest asking women. Artur is rejecting the idea of women driving. Well, perhaps in some places it isn't a necessity etc - well here in the West it is - so how is it his role to say that it is wrong - he is the one out of touch - not the other way around.

i agree tough that Artur doesn't look to the issue from your side either.

when i lived in Armenia i thought of US as the "hell" on the earth because what people were doing here were not accepted there. but when i moved here i started understanding that this is what people here like and value. now i don't consider it "heaven" but i can see what's going on.



And? (spit it out son)

another thing, you Westeners stop stereotyping all other kinds of thinking into "Taliban" thinking (good for you that they are around, otherwise what were you going to call people who think differently).

this is for now.



Well - it is taliban thinking. Sure the Taliban version is the extreme - but these attitudes are part of the same phenomonon. The time for these attitudes is or at least should be past/passing. It is just wrong to deny 1/2 of the population basic rights - etc. The "traditonalists" are perpetuating a system that is - in its extreme - savage - and at the very least is unenlightened. It is largely based on false assumptions and fear. I'm not saying that division of labor (along gender lines) and such is (strictly)wrong - and a certain amount of this will naturally occur. What I object to are laws/practices etc which force this situation and force disadvantage (and worse) on the female...

That's what I was thinking so thanks for being honest You actually seem to have a stranger schedule than I do. I was looking at the different times you have been posting but I just couldn't figure out a pattern! Are you just there temporarily? Because from a lot of your posts it sounded like you are sitting in the middle of Yerevan.

yes, i agree that he is agresive in his posstings. what i was saying is that don't call him names because he thinks in a certain way.
i don't blame him of thinking that way because that's what he saw from childhood, that's how people around him think (most likely).
and what terrible conditions are you talking about? i don't understand either.

Movses, I a done with this topic and Artur.

 

If you feel that I deserve a warning, I am okay with that. I have used language that should not have been used.

 

I do feel that this topic should be closed after everyone makes a comment because it has ran out of control.

Movses, i am not going to follow azat's way. don't worry

 

Azat, if you would be a man you would contact me in private. So far you are throwing bad words in public, that shows how not serious you are and that you have no responsibilities over your own words.

 

I PMed you, hope you will the same!!!

 

Start being a man for God's sake!!!

 

 

Regards,

Artur

Very true ... at least not the kind of America we know today. I was referring more to the "state" of Israel ... The jews would still find a way to survive.
