Pictures from my trip to Armenia

Re: Pictures from my trip to Armenia

No.

True, I don't like historic places destroyed for some cheap 'economic' crap... but that wasn't my point. My point was that this guy is a slimy spy (no metaphor there--he's paid to do what he is doing.)

You don't know the first thing about economics. This is spurring growth and those 'historical' things are worth nothing. Sure, we can sit here and muse how great we once were and "oh the history" and let society sink and die of stagnation, or we can spur growth and revitalize the city and the economy from old and decrepit Soviet crap.

For starters, Marxists and environmentalists do not know the first thing about subjective value in economics and private property. If someone buys that land and has the captal to invest and build, that is his right and nothing is going to stop him. If you don't like it, I suggest you stop your rant and buy the land and 'preserve it' as it is. Until then, you have nothing important to contribute.

First let me say, I DO know about economics! Second, I already said that you assume too much about what I say. Third, my 'on topic' point was that this guy is a literal paid person working for the US government.

No you don't.

this guy is a literal paid person working for the US government.

Where is your evidence?

Re: Pictures from my trip to Armenia

Those are worthless pictures (worth being measured in non-economic value). Go take those anywhere. Might as well just link to any construction site. Destruction of historical landmarks to build crap doesn't qualify as worth posting, to me.

I'll keep looking.

(Sarcastic, off topic "Tangent"--sorry Anonymouse!) Many times people have been funded to act like a local in order to do not good things... Oops, did I spill some beans? I'll keep looking at pics.

Honestly, this pisses me off. Tell me, crusader1492, why you are here?

My intuition, and other sources, say that you are not at all a genuine person.

I tease people who I like but don't agree with... I call out those who just lie.

What's your point? Last time I checked, development was a good thing....

Hmm, so we have another new cretin, straight from its egg, pecking away as if it owned the World, ready to join its pals Crusader and the self-proclaimed The Armenian.

Wow, my thread attracted not one, but two site pests...must be a good thread.

[Edit: in case that wasn't clear. HE is a LITERAL spy. HE was hired to be here, and in Armenia... oops... did I spill your beans (jackass?)]

Shut up you dizzy whack-job.

Re: Pictures from my trip to Armenia

Are they building houses there too, or just apartment buildings?

[crusader1492]

Re: Pictures from my trip to Armenia

Just apartment buildings I think (in the downtown area anyway).

Re: Pictures from my trip to Armenia

yeah, thought so...

I'd be nice to see a middle class society living in nice bungalos and all, but that's not realistic I guess, at least for now.
