600 YEARS / Shakespeare: “So foul a sky clears not without a storm.”*I repeat myself? Two reasons: (a) old age; (b) never as often as our lies in schools, community centers, churches, media…*When a writer begins a sentence with the words: “According to an expert on the subject,” the chances are he means himself.*Boswell on Johnson: “He was prone to superstition but not to credulity.” A noteworthy distinction.*Gide in his World War II diary: “The Americans will not make up their minds to fight until they are sure of being ten to one.” Unlike our revolutionaries in the Ottoman Empire – frogs trying to rape a herd of elephants.*I have unfriended so many of my readers on Facebook that at this rate I will end up unfriending the nation. As for the nation unfriending me: that was a fait accompli on the day I wrote my first dissenting line.#

“I made a mistake when I said there were no gaschambers at Auschwitz,” admitted Britishhistorian David Irving. After calling him a “serial denialist,” the Austrian judge sentencedhim to three years in prison. As a historianIrving should have known that being a denialistis a bad career move in the West. It’s differentin the Middle East… -
Re: 600 years
Because the Zartarian brothers thought Shahnour
was wrong in his interpretation of one of their
father's short stories, they beat the hell out of
him in public. You want more examples of Armenian
fanaticism? Visit any Armenian discussion forum,
or even better, read a history of Armenian
literature.Comment

Re: 600 years
It’s a waste of time arguing with readers whose views belong to our educational system. Bureaucracies are not open to reason.*You are a writer? You are an Armenian? You write in Armenian? Prepare to die the death of a thousand cuts.*The unspoken motto of our 1%: Convince them they are smart, treat them like idiots.*You tell me a have a negative view of life? My question is: What’s positive about 600 years of degradation?*Whenever a reader goes out of his way to be unpleasant, I am tempted to ask: Are you related to a bishop?#Comment

Re: 600 years
IN PRAISE OF SILENCE
*************************************
Silence is better than dialogue
that may result in verbal massacre.
*
You cannot repeat yourself enough
when dealing with an audience
of deaf amnesiacs.
*
In the eyes of some
benefactors are representatives of God on earth;
in the eyes of others they are moneyed white trash.
*
I don’t write to make friends;
I write to make enemies.
*
When God and the Devil cooperate
the result will be an irresistible woman.
*
Since we have nothing to brag about
we brag about Mt. Ararat.

When a sermonizer or speechifier tries to
convince you that your God is the only true God
and your country is better than any other
country, you can be sure of one thing: he is
either a dupe or a liar.Comment

Re: 600 years
COWARDS / They say what they did to Armenians was not genocide but justifiable retaliation against armed revolutionaries that threatened the territorial integrity of the Empire. *What they don’t say is that they targeted not Armenian revolutionaries but unarmed intellectuals and civilians. *What they also fail to mention is that our revolutionaries and their revolutionaries shared the same enemy: the oppressive regimeof the “Red” Sultan.*What they also fail to see is that the Genocide was a serious blunder that was destined to expose them not as heroic defenders of the faith but as cowardly liars who are afraid to face reality.#Comment

Re: 600 years
Armenians are smart? Judging by their history, they may be closer to being not just dumb
but just about the dumbest people on earth.Comment
