What cultural traits do Armenians share?

[Thai-Samurai]

Jews also managed to get themselves kicked out of every European country on several occasions prior to nazi risings.
In fact most good crusades started w/ a little jew slaughtering.

Thai Samurai/Tres Bian -

By what basis do you find a difference between Jewish and Armenian business people? (in terms of morality or what not) What study or direct experience do you base these facts that you claim to know concerning each? Have you ever met a Jewish business person - or even a Jewish person in your life? etc etc And even if so - and even if you've had a bad experience etc - do you at all really believe that you can generalize as you have based on such? And are you saying that you agree that Jews should have been/should be kicked out of European countries and that a good Jewish pogrom - a la the Crusades might bein order? Is this what your telling us?

I could present many quotes from people (other Armenians even) who would say the very same things about Armenian busness people then you say about Jews - and likely with a great deal more reason (direct evidence). I know one person (an extremely patriotic Armenian) whose family lost quite a bit of money trying to establish a business in Armenia (and was royally ripped off) - and you should hear what he has to say about Armenian business people.

I agree with the contention that Jews and Armenians are very similar to each other in a great many ways - for many of the reasons given (persecution and by having their oppurtunities limited, by their education and achievement) etc etc - and also fundementally due to (similar) family structure and relationships and emphasis on education.

I went to University where there were many Jewsish students. It was funny that many mistook me for being Jewish and I used to get invites to and attend these all Jewish gatherings/parties and had lots of Jewish friends/aquaintances. The time I announced at one party that in fact I wasn't Jewish at all (but BTW was 1/4 German! etc) - well thats a moment I won't ever forget!! A number of supposed friends would not talk to me again after! (though for the vast majority it made no difference)....and most thought being (mostly) Armenian was pretty cool in itself....

They want to belive that they are like armenians, doesnt mean that they are...riiiiiiiiiighttt? actually judaism is a egoistic and a violent religion...and jews can be very false people but of course that can be totally proven wrong, depends on the person first of all.
that aremanins have started acting like thieves ( like jews) as you mentioned, armenain buissnessman have just recently STARTED cruel ways of doing buissness...that doesnt mean that it is right is it? I belive this is a new phenomena just like all the stupid hayastntsis and armenians acting like morons/ghetto like..
judaism is a religion...the only thing armeanins have in common with jews are big noses.

Tres Bien - I think that your argument is seriously flawed. First - can you be so unaware of the reputation that Armenians have in business?

Secondly - are you at all familiar with Judaism? I can answer that for you - your not - not in any way shape or form. I won't argue the history of Judeao-Christian religion - because I would agree with you on the negatives. What I ma saying is that Judaism is a varried religion - that ike all - is based upon being moral and just etc. In most respects really it differ's little from Christianity - I mean just where did the 10 commandments come from etc etc

So you don't like Jews....well thats your problem really. I have issues with many Jewish groups and organizations. I also don't see eye to eye with the powers that be in Israel in many respects. But I'm not foolish or ignorant enough to condemn a whole group of people based on such. Heck - I don't much like Islam and much of the practice of the religion and OK I might take a shot at Muslims now and again (meaning those that display the particualr traits/beliefs etc that I dislike so) - but I still wouldn't whitewash even Muslims with the paint you are laying on. Please think about this a bit.

Yeah why do Armenians seem to (often) have this thing about Jews. They either can't stand them or wish we were just like them...of course this is generalizing - but you see alot of both. Well we are alike certainly - though not at all identicle. We are us - hurrah!

I dont see any resemblencs with christianity and judiism , do you know why?? Because they are two different religions...meaning different ideologies.So if we are to GEneralize in wich this thread is all about...i cant see the simliarites between someone who has a faith wich is jewish and someone who is armeanin by nation. I dont in any way aproof of their thieve acting ways , in wich you mentioned goes on in ISrael and so on.


Sadly, i dont give a damn anymore about jews this and that.I dont give a xxxx about jews...or if you like them. Its fine if you like jews just dont stick it into my face...you can answear for me as only I can answear for myself.

[ArmoBarbi]

Tres, how can you say that there is nothing similar between Judeism and Christianity??? One is based on the other historically.

[ArmoBarbi]

ok this turned into a jew bashing thread.

Thats exactly what I thought when I read...

Guys, whats with the disrespect towards the Jews? They are people just like us.
