Some Armenians

Re: Some Armenians

Ok mighty crusader what would you do?.

I would try to stop it. Get out of the car, yell...maybe call the police. Regardless, I can tell you what I wouldn't do: That is, I wouldn't generalize about Armenians on the internet, making them seem like a segment of the population has anti-social/criminal behavior! Only an a-hole with no scruples would do that (enter PepsiAddict).

I say it over & over again but never stick to it but this time I mean it.

Im ignoring you have a nice life . Last time I will ever respond to your threads.

I doubt it...

You've said this about a dozen times in the past after I called you on your stupid comments but, you consistantly fail to follow through...not even once.

Re: Some Armenians

Pepsi, I would have done the same thing. It's NOT a cowardly act to try to stay as far away from stupid people as possible. Actually, it's pretty smart. Shouting at stupid people only brings you down to their level.

And Crusader, are you serious? Are you really trying to say Pepsi should have gotten into a shouting match and possibly worse with these street hooligans (Armenian or not)? I don't see ANY good that would have come out of it.

However, Pepsi might have called the police on these jack asses. That would have been a good thing to do.

Everyone should know their limits. I square off with punks all the time (especially in my neighborhood). For example, if I see someone littering, I call them on and make them pick up their trash. If some one is speeding near my house where kids play, I try to stop them...if they stop we have a confrontation...they back down every time because 99% of them are just out of control high-schoolers whose balls shrivel up at the sight of me barking at them.
If you don't have he capacity or inclination to do that, then fine. It's your right to live in fear. Cops can't be everywhere.
Also, I want to add that most people are like you and won't get involved when they see blatant disrespect for the law. That is why there is litter on the street, speeders in residential neighborhoods and noise pollution (never-mind real crime, such as fire hydrant stealing).

Think about it. If you saw someone in your neighborhod dismantleing a fire hydrant, you wouldn't do anything about it? OK, you said you'd call the cops (that's a good idea. How about taking a picture of the kids with your cell phone...there are a lot of things you can do)...but to do nothing?
What if that same day your house caught on fire and the hydrant near your house was gone. At that point, you might wish you had confronted the criminals. You think that's far fetched...think again.

Regardless, that is not my main point in reacting to PepsiAddict. My main problem with him is his generalizing on "some Armenian" behavior...on the internet...on an Armenian forum none-the-less!
Armenians have enough problems with passive racism as it is. We need this dipxxxx feeding into that? F him for that.

yes, and it's up to the good to lead the bad (that is not to say, boss them around or make them feel guilty, etc... but to give them opportunities to grow and learn) so that they don't screw up so much!

Re: Some Armenians

Yes but in that situation you think the 3 guys are gonna listen I mean c'mon lets be realistic.

Re: Some Armenians

It's more of an invitation to your own way of life, one which you maintain open over the years.

By living intensely with your values, they might become interested in growing up themselves.
