Re: Armenian lesbians/gays

That's great, and how is talking about these injustices going to solve anything? You say that Armenian culture is too enmeshed but when someone in the family sees an injustice, they stick their nose in and fix it. When I did something wrong, my dad made sure I knew it. You expect people to be liberal (let everyone do what they want) and then get mad when everything goes to hell. I think that's rather insane.

Also, this video is a bunch of B.S. about Afghanistan. Typical J3wish brainwashing.

Did you actually watch the video with the audio on? Because, at least Lila Abu Lughod was pretty critical of Israel, and the other speakers were very critical of the West's intervention into the Middle East in ways that are not at all helpful.

My problem with Armenian culture is the rigid structure of authority that presumes certain people know better than others just by being who they are. This may have been appropriate in the past but it is highly counterproductive now. In my family, for example, there are matters in which I am way better qualified to make judgments and decisions than my father is. But if we were to follow traditional patterns, we would have to defer to his opinion just to preserve the hierarchy. To me that seems counterproductive. Just because he is male and my senior doesn't always mean he is right. My father believes, for example, that I should administer physical punishment when my kids misbehave. I know for a fact that such discipline does not work in the long run, and only teaches kids to resolve their own problems through physical intimidation. In this situation, I know better, and I will let my father know that I don't plan to follow his advice. According to the world view of many, I should put aside my own better judgment and defer to my father's opinion just by virtue of the fact that he is older and male. THAT is BS.

Re: Armenian lesbians/gays

Everyone, please watch this video. I believe it is a way of helping us all come to a better understanding of the forces that we are all subject to. Lila Abu Lughod is an excellent scholar of culture, and has looked at issues of globalism, feminism, family, domestic abuse, and related matters longer and more in-depth than any of us can begin to pretend we have. She speaks mostly about the Muslim Middle East, but since she is discussing culture, there are many things that can be generalized to other cultures in the East, including that of Armenians. She talks about how, the intersection of Globalism, militarism, poverty, and local culture combine to make a very dangerous situation for women.

It is a video of Hilary Clinton, the whxre of babylon. Don't waste your time.

She's probably still mad that nobody had control over the chubby intern that smoked her hubbies cigar. I also wonder who's controlling what she says

Re: Armenian lesbians/gays

I have always wondered .. what do Canadians do when they are not curling or playing hockey anyway?

True Canadians drink beer, camp, fish, chop wood and build fires. In Toronto, which is home to immigrants... they just drive fancy cars and hang out in shopping malls... which seems to be a great breeding ground for the gay community. Toronto is also home to the biggest J3wish community in Canada. In Montreal they either massacre people or start riots. That's Canada in a nutshell. Oh wait, some guy just walked into the Eaton Center in downtown Toronto the other day and opened fire... apparently he lost his government job working for the kids' program.

It seems that feminists and gays have all the time in the world to spread their propaganda.... perhaps they should be doing something more productive.

Re: Armenian lesbians/gays

Yup thats what people say when they lose an argument. The punctuation criticism is always the last gasp. If i had a time machine i would gladly let all you right wingers use it to go back in time but my bet is you wouldnt want to stay there very long. Maybe instead of picking on women and gays you guys should spend your time doing something more productive.
