Mr. Anonymouse:
I, too want Armenians to marry Armenians but I also do not want you running around giving stupid reasons for it. The reason should be because it is a beautiful, family oriented and artistic culture that has a lot of potential in contributing to the world. If we add open-minded to such a list and stop being militantly defensive about things, it will be more likely that someone will want to marry Armenian and spread the culture.

Good one Mousey, give Japan as an example. Forget to mention that they also have one of the most flawless police forces out there and uhm, oh yeah, guns are illegal in Japan. Do I have to remind you that 99% of the population in Armenia is Armenians and they still can't keep from killing each other? Obviously your example of preserving ourselves as 100% Armenians to keep the crime level low is not a very scientifically well-grounded observation, is it?

I did not state my example to compare with Armenia, I stated my example to compare the amount of crime of a homogenous society like Japan, compared to that of America. Even then let's compare the crime of Armenia versus that of South Africa. You are making silly points, and if you actually believe the idiocy that guns kill people and people don't kill people, then you do not need to be bothered with.

I cannot say I disagree with you there Mr. Dusken.

The classical civilizations of Greece and Rome are not the same as the ones you see today. The Roman Empire and the Greek Empire collapsed precisely because they extended and conquered other peoples, eventually mixing and changing that society therefore that civilization. If you do not know history you should not bother making silly statements. The fact that Egypt now calls itself "Egypt" does not mean they are the same as the Egyptians of classical times. In fact, studying the Roman Empire towards its latter days, you would see the strong similarities and parallels with the American Empire.

No two thousand year old civilization is the same today! Holy shyt! Your Japanese success story is a sixty year old story!

Wow so many topics coming about because of the original. I agree with mouseys explanation of similarities between the Roman Empires collapse and the U.S. now.
Great topic.
Anyone seen the Sopranos, where they're beating up some Jew, and they're like oh your a tough SOB.
The jew goes blah blah, even the Romans couldn't destroy us, where are the Romans now, they are extinct, stuff like that.
Then Tony smacks him up and goes we are the Romans. smackkkk.

If you want to justify mixing, just say you prefer mixing, but don't bring up silly reasons of how someone is "more Armenian" because they "adopt" the culture. What they consider themselves to be, has no bearing upon the society itself. There have always been exceptions to the rule, and mixing has always occured, but always in marginal forms. Only now is it changing, where it is becoming the rule gradually. If all Armenians started mixing with blacks and the next three generations continued mixing, what do you think will be the outcome? Such absurdities are never thought through all the way, so long as they satisfy some egalitarian ideal of 'tolerance' and "we are all the same" ideas.

You keep recycling the same statement. If you prefer to mix, say so, blah blah blah. That's not the point and you know it, nor is it in any way a valid reply to anything anyone has said so far. You are going to explain away what is an everyday occurance with 'oh it's an exception' then you can explain away every opinion that opposes your own in that same way. The fact of the matter is that we're not talking here about large-scale blacks and Armenians getting married. It should be quite obvious to you by now that usually people are attracted to those of their same race. It is few and far between that we see Armenians attracted to Asians or whatever other combination you can think of. However when such things do occur and both sides accept and embrace the culture of the other it is VERY possible to preserve your culture, your being, and your people and to say society will be forever changed and will crumble and disappear and Armenians will be no more is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Moreover, I fear Armenians are more likey to get lost because there are those among us who are 100% Armenian mother, father, for generations and generations who would rather forget the fact and not embrace who they are. These Armenians are the one's who are ashamed of calling themselves Armenian and they are more prevalent that Armenians that marry odars and still remain Armenian for generations...

We are a people known for our assimilation, that is the scary thing.

[Anonymouse]

An Armenian mixing with another race, is the same as an Armenian who wants to deny he is Armenian. I do not consider that much of a difference. And usually, the people who do mix are the least Armenian conscience, for if they were they wouldn't have mixed in the first place.

No The Dusken, Japan has always been a homogenous society who consider themselves descendents of the Yamato race. I truly have the deepest respect for those Japs.

Yamato, thats a good sushi place on ventura, and between balboa and louise. Great stuff.
