Hmm. Does anyone know the Earth is being killed... by you?

At this point, who really cares what you have to say? The one thing I hate more than tree hugging hippies is tree hugging hippies that ruin every thread. Can you even comprehend the concepts of "organization", "sections", "threads", "when to say what", or do you just give into your mental/verbal diarrhea anytime/anywhere?

Yes Nersez the Swastika is an Armenian symbol. The rights were sold to Hitler Corp. during the mid 1920s.

Sieg xxxxing heil.

Mer azgi metsmasdutyun@ otaramol en. Hetevabar, dshbaxdabar, mer spyurk@ mernum e. Yev ays mah@ shad arag e taradzvum: I gave up on the Armenian diaspora a long time ago. Our dispora is headed to oblivion, very fast.

I've been thinking and trying to find the best way to translate "otaramol" into English but I can't quite seem to find an exact word or phrase to match it perfectly in its essence. I am not suggesting that there is one, but at least an approximation.

I want to be able to explain exactly this to some of our Armenian posters who probably have no idea what that word means.

As far as our diaspora, if you want to see the state of the Armenian diaspora, you can go to any one of those stupid house parties, and clubs and see the Armenians dancing mindlessly under "E" and crystal meth and behaving like nothing more than animals.

If such is what Armenians are and have become, then they deserve to die. Any people who lose their spirit, their sense of self, and their will to power and life, do not deserve consciousness.

And occasionally you see those Armenians, that, despite not doing drugs or living mindlessly, have chosen to end up with some otar and think they have finally found 'the truth'!

Either way, a lose-lose situation. Can it be salvaged? Logic says otherwise, the heart only hopes.

I don't think the diaspora is the place to look for preservation. Especially in the West. You'll have to go back to Armenia for that. That's why our ideal and motto should be "Depi Hayrenik" and not "Depi Spyurk." Only then can we put all our efforts into building Armenia, our Armenia, for us to return to.

mouse, you could break otaramol into 2 roots: otar (meaning foreign) and mol (from molorvats, meaning stray). So, as so many Armenians words are, this one needs a phrase to explain it: "a stray in the foreign".

Re: is the Swastika an Armenian symbol?

I still don't understand "a stray in the foreign". Is that close to xenophobe? It sounds more like somebody who has married outside the race...is that it?

Would somebody please tell me what "Depi Hayrenik" and "Depi Spyurk" mean...even if you want to pm it to me?

no it's closer to xenophile, except a xenophile is not a bad thing. otaramol on the other hand is someone who is away from his/her culture and straying in a foreign one.
