That joke of a country called Armenia?

How embarrassing. Critical thinking in many places is at a sad low.

Embarassing indeed.
Students are being subjected to wardrobe checks where police are looking for torn jeans, body piercings, black gloves, as well as any clothing that is pink and black.

They should have uniforms in school anyways. It's not a fashion show.

Re: That joke of a country called Armenia?

I really don't understand all the controversy here. Really who wants a culture that advocates Satanism and other pagan idiocy to grow among the youth, especially in Armenia where the youth is much more precious than youth in a bigger country. Every child counts. I'm not saying become a moral police, but at least try to dissuade children from taking part in sub-cultures that have to do with Satan - I mean really that's going over the line.

It seems also what's coming into this discussion is the approaching of Western/Hollywood culture on Armenian society. In my opinion, there are both good and bad things to take away from Western Culture (hollywood not so much), but at the same time it's hard for anyone to prevent that culture from permeating Armenia, as it's permeating the whole world. So we must accept this permeation, but we should also try to prevent the bad sides from coming in and let the good sides instead. And of course at the same time, never forget our Armenian culture, our Holy Church, and our Language. All of this should be more important than anything else, everything else is secondary in my eyes. Having Armenians appreciate their roots, their history, and want to better their country is the key.

What young Armenians need to be made to understand is that they can't have freedom without responsibility. Youth cultures have long been subverted by various, nefarious poltical forces and criminal elements. Whilst in todays, highly integrated and globalised world it's impossible to be completely insular. Armenia needn't allow misfits and deadbeats to undermine it's patriarchal order or sense of national cultural identity.

Yes, unfortunately (for us) being Armenian comes with an added responsibility compared to other nations (lucky bastards).

If you went out and asked those "young Armenians" they might say that they have no freedom, and their only responsibility is not to endanger the status of those in positions of political, religious, and criminal power.

It is quoted from the cdinsight report, which is derived from the Rollingstone report, which is based on the EurasiaNet report. The EurasiaNet wording is:

Yerevan public school students told EurasiaNet.org that police
routinely visit their schools now to check the bags of those students
who are wearing half-torn jeans, black gloves or other clothes in
pink and black, and who have body piercings - a look considered
typically emo.

My point being that with every succesive Chinese whisper of this story, Armenia gets to look sillier and sillier.

Re: That joke of a country called Armenia?

Here is what I gotta say.
First of all, bell-the-cat (rapist), who in the sh&t do you think you are to comment on the situation in Armenia. I think you better get back to spanking the monkey to porn, and make sure you're daughter isn't in any of them. You have so far made it clear that your entire mission is to degrade the image of Armenia.

I'll probably get banned for this, but it's worth it.
F&ck f@ggots, f&ck the emo, the goth, the whatever f&ck. Armenia doesn't need sissies, f@ggots, le$bians. We don't need political correctness, feminism, or whatever orther f@cked up political philosophy being cooked up by the western freaks.

We need strong minded people who'll be ready to fight for our continued freedom, carry on our traditions, language and customs, AND continue rebuilding our country.

So bell-the-cat. Do go back to m@sturbating your cats you pathetic piece of sh!t. You have no credibility here, so go back to your sh!thole and don't come out.

Levon in Kentucky, Armenia needs your sort like it needs the medical aftermath of a night with a Kentucky xxxxx and, given your location, you have evidently decided that Armenia doesn't need Levon - so why not shut your fat, ignorant, redneck mouth?
