"I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia. See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia." William Saroyan

Sorry just read it again and I had to post it.

I wish that were true for Armenians today.. Sad to say, but that doesn't apply anymore, at least not most of the time...

Right. There's no Little Armenia in Hollywood, No Armenian schools anywhere in the world. No youth organizations, No Scouts. No Armenian community online. What are we going to dooooooo?!?

In other words, I think you've mis-spoken.

[Darorinag]

Little Armenia in Hollywood? You make me laugh... You mean those gangsta types? Somehow I don't think Saroyan was referring to those...

Dan is a drama queen. If he wants to yell "fire" for everything he sees, let him. People get tired of those who always see things in black and white.

Who are you to talk about Armenians today versus yesterday? You sound like you're 15 years old, so you're really making things up as you go along assuming to be a mass mind reader of some kind. A mind reader that can not only read minds but read the minds of people in the past. How often do you actualy come out of your bomb shelter? And on a more minor note, how much does it cost to run an internet connection underground?

And I don't think Saroyan was talking about black-worshipping idiots like many on here, who would even change their skin colour and become black than be considered Armenian. Because it's sooooooooooooooooooooooooo embarassing to speak Armenian, right...? And I said MOST, not ALL. Credit goes to those who are actually true to Saroyan's words..

Such as? This thread is an example of what I'm talking about. Look at Armenians bashing other Armenians. Criticism is fine. Bashing is not.
