thanks, yeah, we have a strong chess school. unlike ice skating

my bf told me about it yesterday, to cheer me up :)

is he here or in Armenia?The reason I ask, is do people make a big thing in Armenia now? Like a parade or something else?

Noah_Brown, he is here, but he is Armenian too :)

I don't know about the parade, don't think they do those kind of things

Noah_Brown, gone_astray, i was not surprised that armenia came first. they have a good team. i was surprised that russia came 6th

ukrainian women were the first, if i'm not mistaken

gone_astray, its been long to enjoy a good game of chess. maybe since karpov, kasparov and fisher games (did i spell the names correctly?)

squirell, we should try to play sometime :))

and you are supposed to lose, remember?:)))

gone_astray, do you play chess?

daaaaaaa, how could i forget :)

Noah_Brown, close your eyes :)

gone_astray, cyprus was 110th something :(

maybe we should organize an online tournament?:)) that would be fun. gone astray, so, you do play chess.
Squirell, what happened to your design?Is it finished?

Goner_Astray, could you marry a non armenian?just a hypothetical ?

did you know Kasparov is half-Armenian half-Jewish?

squirell, Noah_Brown, I have decided: I'm gonna marry a hot latino guy

Listen, Kasparov is fully Armenian. His step father is jewish...but that doesn't make him jewish:)))))

Noah_Brown, i didnt know that. i thought he took his mothers last name, but his father was Weinstein

no, actually, I gforgot his last name, maybe Ghazarian? is that sound right?I can check with my friend..
But he took his mom's last name becasue his parents never were married. Just lived together.

it sounds right, but i've never heard that story

Я считаю, что каждый должен жениться на своей нации, я тоже была такой открытой и не рассисткой, но поверьте моему опыту,на практике испытала каково жить с человеком, который думает, делает по-другому, да и вообще абсолютно не понимает то, о чём ты толкуешь.
Я не говорю о конкретно корнях, я говорю о культуре.
К примеру, я армянка, но ощущаю себя как русская, поэтому мне нужен мужчина с русской культурой.
Если, к примеру, ты родился в Америке идеальной женщиной к пониманию тебе именно американская девушка.

desire777, I would say values are more important. the culture (nationality) incorporates only a part of it, the rest comes from the family and social environment

gone_astray, хм, несомненно, семья-многое, но на меня влияла среда более, чем родители, вот и вышла я, русская.

А ценности - это разве не подраздел культуры?
Ценности->культура->менталитет.

desire777, сложно сказать... просто я знаю, что есть армяне, с которыми я бы жить не стала. у нас одна культура, но они по-другому смотрят на жизнь, у них другие ценности... и в то же время я находила людей других нац-тей, с которыми мы очень легко понимали друг друга.
с бф-ом же такое впечатление, что мы выросли в одной семье, не знаю, насколько это важно для меня, но мне нравится:)) so far:)
