"Armenians of the world, unite" - Ara Abrahamian

[Virgil]

Have you guys visited the Glendale Community College? it's like 95% Armenians. But it would be awsome to have a university of Armenia.

Yeah, I have thought about that for A LONG time. You know what would be a good idea? They can make GCC into a university (UCG) and then make Mashtots college into the new CC. This would be a very good idea due to the population increase, but seeing as to how "Glendolians" think Armenians pay tributes rather then taxes I doubt it will ever happen.

Exactly...the majority of Armenians are not intelligent enough to understand taxes or such. Like I said, we can not get anythign started unless the people chagne...if Armenians are filth then everything we create will be filth.

I am all in favor for an Armenian University...as long as it does allow foreigners in as well...

On a similar subject, me and my Armenian 101 teacher were talking about Armenian education in the U.S.. He was the principal of Meridian Evengelical on Riverside Drive and he said, although it was rare, non-Armenians were more than welcome to attend Armenian private schools, they didn't discriminate.. on the contrary, it owuld have been a pleasure to expose others to our culture.

Just look at California, almost all the public universities are jam packed with students. It has gotten to a point where CSUN sends their freshmens to a CC for their first two years. If they made GCC into a UC or CSU it would really clear up the congestion.

Furthermore, seeing as to how it is a public school, there really is no way to stop anyone from attending as long as they can meet the minimum requirments. However, keep in mind that within ten years the entire campus will be full of Asians, so, diversity has a price. You just can't stop a army of 1.5 billion.

I know we had some black kids when I was younger at Ferrahian.

This sounds like another nonsense idea made by yet another person who has the answers to everything. If you ask every Armenian, they all have an answer on what to do to 'make things right'. How many times have I heard talk about having this or that organization so Armenians can all unite under it. That's the same talk I heard of when Armenia got its independence. The point is, this is all bullshyt. If Armenians really want to make a difference, it begins from individuals, and families. Just worry about your own turf first, then maybe we can think about uniting under umbrella organizations.

Unite First, Think Later!

That makes no sense .

Getting back to the theme of Armenian Unity, I just remembered a really nice quote: "We have a dream instead of a country. Because territory has eluded us, we have the freedom to invent that most people don't. The more our geography shrinks, the more our imaginations expand, the more we're like owls flying in the dark" - Nona Shecker-Lemedjian

I have a better quote repeated endlessly by the bulk of humanity, "Actions speak louder than words".
