    We're not lab rabbits trying to populate the world with Armenians. You can't say whoops, sorry, I can't marry you even though I love you because I was born Armenian and there is a big book of rules that says every Armenian must marry an Armenian and have 5 kids. Some people, by chance, meet and fall in Love with people who aren't Armenian. This does not in any way diminish their 'Armenian conscience' or 'Armeniannes'. This makes them human and vulnerable to falling in love no holds barred, no rules, no restrictions. The difference between you and I, Mouse, is that while, just like you, I AM going to marry an Armenian and financial situation willing I AM going to have at least 3 kids, I would NEVER judge someone because they didn't do that or follow that same path. You are too judgemental. I'd be curious to see the day you fall in love with someone who is not Armenian, which, mind you, can happen even if you take every precaution against it.

    Beyond that, the idea that such an Armenian from a mixed family would be any less capable of contibuting to society as an Armenian and of being just as strong in his/her Armenianness is just ridiculous.

      Doesn't concern me? Is there anyone else on these forums who is the product of an interracial marriage? Perhaps you misnamed the thread, because it seems to be just another (about the 400th or so) discussion of whether or not Armenians should marry non-Armenians.

        Yes but their success as a contributing society is a new story. The Filipino's, before the Spanish conquered them, were probably very homogenous. That is no reason to respect a society. Society and culture are not one and the same.

          marrying someone because they are armenian, is wrong, marrying out of love is right.

          have you heard about staying together just for the sake of the children when youre marriage falls into pieces. this is very usual in armenian homes, I know for a fact myself.its something that destorys anyone, armenian or not.

          And thats why the indivual comes firstly, the hell with all" the traditions".to be armenian is synonom of beeing shaped in a certain way ...well how is that going to happen when its forced upon you to keep that tradition alive.
          its impossible-.

                let's not be so quick to judge someone's armenian consciousness by who they marry...maybe someone keeps meeting a-hole armos! what can they do?? ...then they happen to meet a nice non-armo and he's great and respectful and is willing to do what none of those armenians do and opens his heart and offers his love! what then?...life is not so black and white! (no pun intended there)..it would be nice if armenians respected and appreciated one another more instead of trying 'all flavors under the sun' all in the name of fun and then wanting to marry an armenian...how gross!!!

                  WOW. This thread is like a chatroom, except with proper grammar and capitaliziation. Every minute there's a post, untl you get to page 5. haha. I guess I'll just add a post on how I see this.

                  Yes, my parents dissaprove of interracial relationships but that is not the main reason why I will not date anyone outside of my race or ethnicity. One of the reasons is tradition and culture. Yes, a lot of couples compromise, but I don't want that. I am an Armenian girl and follow most of Armenian traditions. Being with a non Armenian who does not know Armenian customs and traditions is out of the question. Compromise may be done, but I don't want 50/50. As just for dating, well, getting attached to a non Armenian is not only pointless, but hurtful too.

                  This doesn't make sense. Why date someone if you're going to have to break it off with them sooner or later? Think of the other person in the relationship.
                  I see...

                    yes! precisely! and if they can just 'date' an odar, they can also just 'date' an armenian! so just cuz a guy's armo, doesn't mean he has intentions of marriage!

                      I think what he meant to say is "Do whomever you want, but marry an Armenian."
