Yes, that’s true Polycarp. Especially galling is that Mt. Ararat, Armenia’s holiest site, is now in Turkey. However, when you said, “Actually, it’s worse than that,” what were you referring to?
Chin up, septimus. At the same time we were fighting against the racism of Nazis, our capital city was entirely segregated. We’re actually getting better. Slowly. About at the rate of hater funerals.
You’ve missed that all the people saying a film of Obama being born under a palm tree in Hawaii know that Obama was born in Hawaii, and aren’t birthers.
The film would be a fake because Obama was born in a hospital, not on a beach (and one nit-picker pointed out he wasn’t born as president).
You said:
**Frank **explained it to you, flat-out, very next post that Obama was born in a hospital.
You responded:
You’re just not getting it.
Resident of Little Armenia checking in here. The most distinguishing feature of Armenians is the tracksuit, worn for all occasions.
Look, if Obama gets a second term, and that’s the limit, then there’ll be no more point to all this birther shit, so it will all die down and go away, right? Please?
Hah! Good one.
Is that why Turkey is so reluctant to own up to it? Territorial-claim implications? Armenia demanding Greater Armenia? And are there enough surviving Armenians lving on the territory in question to make trouble, demand union with Armenia? I doubt it, I’ve never heard of them doing so, at any rate.
There’s a clause missing from this sentence.
You’re not explaining it very well.
True enough.
You’ve missed that all the people saying a film of Obama being born under a palm tree in Hawaii would be fake - know that Obama *was *born in Hawaii, and aren’t birthers.
Did I really need to explain it, though?
With pictures, if you could. Thank you. 
No. Contemplate the word genocide. There are few if any Armenians living there for the same reason that there were far fewer Jews living in Central Europe in 1945 than in 1935. Sorry if this seems to Godwinize the situation, but the point is that it was a genocide.
Um… This is the pit, so, I guess, I could be rude or snarky or whatever… But…
Swear to God, I do not know what you point is, or why you wrote that nasty post about a remedial board for practice. When I first read it, I was appalled. It seemed pointlessly rude. It seemed pointlessly rude. And, as yet, I still don’t see what your point is.
My point can, perhaps, be summed up as: “We’ll hang Joe Arpaio from a sour apple tree.”
Just read through Arpaio’s wikipedia page. How is this guy not in jail? How is this guy REELECTED?
There are a lot of old people in AZ, which is why it’s nearly as crazy as FL. Their brains have ossified. Sadly, my own father is one of the crazies. He thinks Arpaio is great (although, since he lives in a different county he can’t vote for Arpaio). Hell, he thinks *Palin *is great. She’s his gal.
This is a man whose family was substantially helped by FDR’s New Deal programs during the Great Depression, and who still refers to FDR as “Mr. Roosevelt”. I do not understand how he can think so highly of FDR and so … malevolently … of Obama, when the latter is trying to do the same damn thing as the former, using the same damn methods. The disconnect is too large for my mind to encompass.
We don’t discuss politics in my family. It leads to bad feelings.
Maybe you are right, and I don’t get why people can hate someone they don’t know, and look for reasons to try to annul his presidency with such a silly reason, and if they were watchng the birth itself would still say, it wasn’t in Hawaii. And yes, I did get the point made that he was born as a baby, not while president. So many people were angry that he was elected they started the day he won the presidency to look for faults, and did all possible to put his ideas down. He was elected in a fair election and is a good decent man. I give him the credit that he is trying to help the country, wither I like all his ideas or not!
“Appalled?” You must appall easy. monavis is clearly missing the forest for the palm trees.
he/she/it seems to believe that I think Obama was born in a hospital in another country, and not–as is so obviously true–under a palm tree in Hawaii. His/her responses to other posts (including mine) have been off by just that little much, not so much a non sequiter that one can ignore them, but just enough that one studies them for ten minutes, parsing and reparsing, attempting to fit the words into something that makes sense. Then one realizes that monavis is not attempting to actually reply or to engage in conversation, merely to continue to ride a hobby-horse about some people don’t like Obama, and is shoehorning such statements into any crevice they’ll fit.
Remedial was actually pretty fucking gentle.
I got it, and I didn’t think the remedial comment was out of line.
I surely wasn’t thinking that it was you or your thoughts, I was thinking of the birthers who insist on finding some reason to annul Obama’s presidency. You have the right to disagree with me, but it does seem like such a silly thing to keep up the “Obama isn’t really an American” when shown a copy of his birth certificate, they still make such a claim, and it is proven that his Mother was in Hawaii at the time of his birth.
I too think he/she has the right to make a remedial comment if that is his/her choice. I take no offence by someone’s opinion. They have the right to disagree with me!
This post makes less sense than the ones others have been complaining about. Perhaps you need to get some sleep.
