GMD Poll: Top Ten Albums of 1981

May I be the first one to suggest that we end this poll?

1) With above genocide joke, this thread is now officially a war-zone and should be evacuated.
2) This year only has like 10 fucking metal albums!
3) There seems to be wide-spread confusion between Killers and Killer.

The RNG gods have abandoned us.
 
Even if I deleted it, btw (which I never would), I assume that you still would have quoted my post and called me out.

i wouldn't quote that post.


oh and here, educate yourself....

Yerevan = Yerevan (/ˌjɛrəˈvɑːn/, YE-rə-VAHN; Armenian: Երևան, classical spelling: Armenian: Երեւան, [jɛɾɛˈvɑn] ( listen))[a] is the capital and largest city of Armenia as well as one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities.[

782 BC? Is that all? Fucking weak sauce. Name three notable Armenians that influenced the world in science, math, or the arts. Protip: there are none, they were too busy getting their shit packed in by Romans and Persians.
 
I Googled 'armenian nobel prize winner' and got this guy:

In 2003, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Paul Lauterbur and Sir Peter Mansfield for their discoveries related to MRI. Although Nobel rules allow for the award to be shared by up to three recipients, Damadian was not given the prize. The controversy over who played what part in the development of the MRI had gone on for years prior to the Nobel announcement, and many in the scientific community felt that the Nobel had not been awarded for the MRI for so long due to debate over Damadian's role in its development.[13]

Damadian said that credit should go to "me, and then Lauterbur," and Lauterbur felt that only he should get credit. In 1997 the National Academy of Sciences commissioned a timeline of MRI milestones, and four of the 12 in an initial draft were attributed to Damadian. At the final publication in 2001, longer than any other publication in the series had ever been taken, none of the milestones were attributed to Damadian. The text said that Damadian's methods had "not proved clinically reliable in detecting or diagnosing cancer."[13] After Damadian's lawyers sent the NAS a threatening letter, the text on the NAS website was revised, but not to Damadian's satisfaction. Damadian said in 2002, "If I had not been born, would MRI have existed? I don't think so. If Lauterbur had not been born? I would have gotten there. Eventually."[13]

Your people are nothing but thin-skinned tough guys with victim complexes, it's fucking hilarious. I will give you credit though in that you must have a very pure bloodline, however.
 
no, not 782 BC you illiterate bastard.

And just three? :lol:

Anania Shirakatsi (Armenian: Անանիա Շիրակացի, Armenian pronunciation: [ɑnɑˈnjɑ ʃiɾɑkɑˈt͡sʰi]; 610–685 AD), also known as Ananias of Shirak and Annannia Shirakatsi,[1] was an Armenian philosopher, mathematician, astronomer, geographer and alchemist. He discovered that the Earth is spherical and proposed there was more to the universe than the standard Aristotelian model accepted at the time. His most famous works are Ashkharatsuyts (Geography) and Cosmography and the Calendar.

Komitas,https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Komitas#cite_note-8 (Armenian: Կոմիտաս; 26 September 1869 – 22 October 1935) was an Armenian priest, musicologist, composer, arranger, singer, and choirmaster.[7] He is recognized as one of the pioneers of ethnomusicology.[8][9]

George Adomian – mathematician; developed a new methodology in math, the "Adomian Decomposition Method" (ADM) for solving nonlinear differential equations, both ordinary and partial, which was considered a mathematical revolution

Viktor Amazaspovich Ambartsumian (1908–1996) – astronomer and astrophysics pioneer; discovered Stellar Associations; one of the founders of theoretical astrophysics

Hovhannes Abgari Adamian – engineer, inventor of color television

Yeah I looked that list over and didn't find very much to be impressed by.

That guy was far from the first to propose a spherical earth and I don't see much to indicate his reasons for that belief were any more researched than previous.

Ethnomusicology, lol, the kind of thing you could only love if an Armenian did it.

I won't diss on anyone that makes new discoveries in mathematics, but that guy would certainly not make a top 100 mathematicians list. Probably not a top 1000 list if article length on Wikipedia is any good indicator.

Color TV is pretty cool.

Nice attempt, but face it, Armenia has a sub-standard history. Their greatest cultural strength is their incredible ego and tribal conviction. They do not nor have they ever valued intellectual pursuits. They are not even ambitious conquerors, simply content to live in their usual confines and flex in front of each other until some outsider enters.

EDIT: Overlooked the astrophysicist, I'll give you a cookie for that one. Notable that it took the Soviets to produce a man like that, however, Armenian culture is far too insular to do the job on its own. If you go back in history, there's nothing, so I see no reason to give a shit about your ancestors living and shitting in a particular piece of land under a particular name. You've got a similar attitude to neo-Nazis that suck the cocks of all things Nordic and pagan, conveniently ignoring their own primitive history. Don't take pride in things that don't deserve it. I don't take pride in my own hut-dwelling Celtic ancestors, they were largely a shit group of people until civilization hit them.

this whole post is you basically foaming at the mouth. Nothing here, but ill bite....

you cant be that ignorant now can you? Did you just ignore every name those links had in there?

"the Kingdom of Armenia, under Tigranes the Great, reached its peak, from 83 to 69 BC, after it reincorporated Sophene and conquered the remaining territories of the falling Seleucid Empire, effectively ending its existence and raising Armenia into an empire for a brief period"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigranes_the_Great
Tigranes II, more commonly known as Tigranes the Great (Armenian: Տիգրան Մեծ, Tigran Mets;[2] Ancient Greek: Τιγράνης ὁ Μέγας Tigránes ho Mégas; Latin: Tigranes Magnus)[3] (140 – 55 BC) was King of Armenia under whom the country became, for a short time, the strongest state to Rome's east.[4]
 
@snitchboy re: butt... nah. We've gotten into spats where hes actually threatened me with physical violence but i found it to be rather funny and enjoyed it. I might have fired back sometimes, but I would never hurt that pudgy little bastard.

and lol @buttburglarboy talking about "dont be so proud of bla bla bla" after he basically asked for names, the guy just can't steer straight.
 
Tech, I could have sworn you said the #1 on your hit list was @The Butt?

Edit: Oh never mind I clicked that link @no country for old wainds posted and I guess @HamburgerBoy did the genocide joke 2 years before I did, I really stink. Unoriginal hack.

TNB couldn't remember the specifics at all, so it probably was The Butt. I'm happy to steal the title though.

Almost all of those scientists, engineers, etc emerged within the last couple hundred years. For thousands of years Armenia existed before then, and for what? I'm not saying Armenians are genetically defective (unibrows aside), but their culture is shit. A person living in Armenia may as well be a person living in the most backwater parts of Alabama.

14 whole years of being an empire, nice. I'm skeptical of the claim that they would have been the most powerful state east of the Roman Empire though, I mean, what, the Han dynasty doesn't count. Here's another quote from Wikipedia

According to Razmik Panossian "In a long history of defeats and persecution, Tigran the Great’s brief empire of 2,000 years ago is still a source of pride for Armenian nationalists."[31]

I'm not attacking you for providing names, I'm attacking you for a long history of ridiculous Armenian pride. Your ethnicity defines your life and that's sad.
 
i remembered "the specifics" clearly, sweetheart. You might have shit for memory in that little spaztastic brain of yours, but my memory is sharp as fuck.

and lol at the continuation of the frothing. Oh sweetheart, what have i turned you into?

Is that what happened here? My Armenian pride derailed this thread?
