a past president of the same organization used to be a very good friend of my dad's. he used to go back and forth to Haiastan pretty much every month with "armenia fund" money

You do realize that going to Armenia back and forth is nothing compared to millions of dollars collected right? Besides, it's not like he's going to Hawaii on a family vacation or something. I think the president of such organization has to visit the country and the construction work in person to make sure things are going as planned, and it won't be fair for him to pay for this trip from his own pocked, I mean think about it... the CEO or CFO or whatever of ANY organization go to different countries and cities for meetings and all, do they pay for it themselves? NO the company does. So I don't see your point.

What a wonderful thread in which Armenians get together to peacefully and cordially agree on the issues.

I'm not even going to get started on the second part of your reply, because that would be going off subject, but...

Firstly you don't have to lie about what money you gave. You come here and talk about unfounded stuff

I talked about unfounded stuff??? Are you trying to take the "reading into things" thing to a new level, or are you just illiterate? I ASKED A QUESTION, a simple, honest qustion. I DIDN'T MAKE A CLAIM! Big difference there, EEK! Jesus Christ, what is WITH you people???

I agree, I don't see a problem with this.

Cat: Share my view? People like me? I was born and raised in America, and more importantly, around approximately zero Armenians, so I highly doubt any Armenian you know is anything like me. I've had my eyes opened for quite some time now, thus the cynicism and why I'm naturally skeptical of everything. It was a perfectly legitamet question for someone that's not familiar with the organization, or what it's "done for Armenia" in the least bit. But instead of answering the question with decent info, once again, I make a simple comment, and people forcefully and ignorantly read more into it than what's there and go off an tangents about those false, ingnorant elucidations. If you are so ready to pounce on someone without thinking an analyzing, perhaps you are the ones with the issues.

I agree with your criticism for the most part, and indeed some people like to be immune from criticism. Armenians historically, and even contemporary Armenians do not like criticism, and are immune from it.

However, notice the part of your quote I have in bold? That indicates severe love thyself and this idea of being uber unique and special. Clearly no one is like you, you special crimson you.

Crimson Glow....I think I added you to my ignore list ..and it wasn't on purpose..sorry.

Ever heard about rhetoric?





Oh, my god..what am I saying, I've been called illiterate..I probably would not even understand my own post

I think Manougian said she'd donate 1 million if it reached 10 million. So the total at the end came out to be $11,000,000.00.

I was pretty drunk but I think we donated as well.

No Kirk has his own fund through which he sends money to Armenia every month, so he doesn't participate in anything else.

as far as i know though, the lincy fund hasnt done anything since they finished all the construction in yerevan last year.

The Lincy fund has continuous projects in the earthquake zone.
