April 24, 200719 yr its tommarow at april 24th. are any of you celebrating this holiday? half of my schools going to be absent and i cant wait since the halls wont be crowded (hopefully). anyways if you had a great time post it here. and no im not armenian. -.- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_genocide heres a wikipedia article if you dont know about this holiday. if this topics unappropriate, lock it if you wish.
April 24, 200719 yr i respect it because i'm a S.O.A.D. fan mainly but even if it was a public holiday here i would be working still >.
April 24, 200719 yr Erm.. I wouldn't call a genocide a "holiday". Well, ANZAC day for us Aussies and Kiwis (tomorrow, April 25th) was a wartime failure at Gallipoli, Turkey (WW1). There were lots of stuff-ups and tragic deaths yet there were overriding themes of mateship, courage, hardiness, resolve and inginuity. On that last point, the evacuation from the peninsula took the Turks totally off guard (with rifles timed to fire with water drips, for example) and resulted in next to no deaths from memory. And yeah, we get the day off. :P

So public holiday for us tomorrow :thumbsup: "A disbelief in magic can force some poor souls into believing in authority and business"

And yeah, we get the day off. :P Any excuse for a barbeque and can of fosters :P With so many trees in the city you could see the spring coming each day until a night of warm wind would bring it suddenly in one morning. Sometimes the heavy cold rains would beat it back so that it would seem that it would never come and that you were losing a season out of your life. But you knew that there would always be the spring as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person had died for no reason. In those days though the spring always came finally but it was frightening that it had nearly failed.
April 24, 200719 yr Any excuse for a barbeque and can of fosters :P You need a Victoria for a real celebration. :wink: Me doing staff.
April 24, 200719 yr i respect it because i'm a S.O.A.D. fan mainly but even if it was a public holiday here i would be working still >.< So a genocide wouldn't really matter if your favourite band didn't have roots in the country where it happened? I'd rather die for what I believe in than live for anything else.Name Removed by Administrator ~Turtlefemm

It is, for the commoner, probably VB, Tooheys or XXXX (4 ex) depending on where you live.

April 25, 200719 yr I still don't understand how a genocide can be a holiday. So Germans who are faithful of their Nazi ancestors (Not all Germans, don't get me wrong) can have a holida of the genocide of the Jews?

Its a day of rememberance not a day a celebration. :roll: You'll never be a brain surgeon.

April 27, 200719 yr One of the various reasons why turkey shouldn't be allowed in the EU. The still don't admit to have been executing genocide plans then. The value of my bank at its height.

April 28, 200719 yr My friend is Armenian (infact his name is.... Armen) and I remember in fifth grade his mom came in and told us all about the genocide. EDIT: Genocide is nothing to celebrate.
