I would say I hope you join them, but I personally doubt they'd be in hell, so I'd rather you not.
loolll ure a straight-up kinda guy eh? hehehe i like that
ok, im gonna lay off the lisbon 5. ive already expressed that i disagree with their actions, ill just leave it at that
You guys are kidding right? Not much has been done, oh please, that's a very pessimistic view of occurences in the last 90 years. I agree the first 50 after the genocide were spent just surviving, but since then there has been so much our people have been through, I agree most organizations haven't done anything, or they've sold themselves to the highest bidder but to put the ARF in that category is ridiculous. Any chance you get ha baron lol. I'm not anti buttt, oh God help me.
You should've figured me out by now. I'm not an anti-tashnag. I'm an anti-everything.
The fact remains: your Armenian is probably weaker than your parents' Armenian, and your children's Armenian will probably be weaker than yours. The schools and their Armenian curriculums do not get any attention, while countless meetings that last many many hours each are spent discussing the politics of church. The population in Armenia now is about half the population it was thirty years ago. Besides the recognition of France, the issue of Genocide recognition has been limited to consolation prizes like Uruguay and the Canadian House of Commons. Sure we are no longer spending our time worrying about survival, but it is precisely BECAUSE we no longer strive for survival that we most risk disappearance, or assimilation. (Nshan Beshigtashlian has a nice quote about that, which escapes me now).
As you can see, we have no time to hate. But when through all of these problems, we still cannot accept criticism of the way things are being done, I cannot help but question one's true intentions and priorities.
And I must add that despite all of this, I am still an optimist. That shouldn't bar us from being realists also, and from putting "madernis verkin vra". Sure it'll sting, but we'll get over it, and be much healthier.
