I always suspected you were a fruit gusher head.

By the way, short or long, it's still a yellow bus in Nor Cal.

I always suspected you rode the short white bus to school.

If that's so, then I've officially got VIP parking for the rest of my life.

Perhaps getting a bit too much love, support and a sense of self esteem from the family is a handicap?

Indeed!

I am sorry, but the very question underlying this discussion seems absurd to me. "Handicapped because of their upbringing" I do not mean to insult anyone, but now really you are digging for problems where they do not actually exist! Point out to me ONE handicap that the traditional Armenian upbringing inflicts to a woman and I might agree! Otherwise it's just empty talk.

He's hilarious.

Uhm, the government has A LOT to do with the way people in society behave. It's not a coincidence that beer is a huge part of Canada's culture.... you might have a tough time finding a decent family doctor but you'll have no problems finding a Beer Store.

I am an old woman, born in France in 1925, from armenian parents. We lived in a house of refugees
60 families, all survivors of genocide. All Armenians. When we were children we used to play together,
boys and girls, in the garden behind the house, we were not allowed to go in the street.
But when I was 12, my mother said to me : now you cannot play with boys.
I went to French school. I worked very well at school. As my father died young , I was the eldest and had to work. My aunt did not want her daughters work outside, they had to work at home. I found jobs in offices.

All the Armenian young men of the house married French girls, because they thought we were old minded.
We were half old minded, and half influenced by our French education at school.

One of my French colleague’s was delighted to meet me, as I was serious.
His parents first were disappointed, as they wanted a French daughter –in-law from their town. But they changed quickly their mind when they knew me and my family. My husband always loved me.

You realize this has NOTHING to do with being "old minded" and EVERYTHING to do with assimilation.
