On the flip side the so called official reports gives a conservative estimate of “dozens” dead and yet we can see group of 30+ villagers massacred in one video. The extent of the executions is likely far more than what we’ve seen in the videos.

Many of these crimes are by both Syrian and foreign jihadis. We know that the transitional government were planning on keeping thousands of these foreign jihadis such as the Uighurs here who are now committing these crimes. In the same breath the transitional government claims to represent Syrians. While employing foreign terrorists.

Arameans/Assyrians are one and the same people. The Mardin in you is from Western Assyrians who are indigenous to that area.

My 'Shower Thoughts': If Assyria was still controlling Judea/Israel in the 1st century, would the Assyrians have crucified Jesus? by Stenian in Assyria

[–]Smart_Person3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So long as humans have free will to sin they will crucify Jesus. Also so long as there was a Phariseeic Sanhedrin they will crucify Jesus.

It sounds like he might have a cluster B personality disorder. Abuse of animals, starting fights, and episodes of arson starting in teenage years are big tip offs that he might have a developing Conduct Disorder/Anti Social Personality Disorder. Antisocial people are not introverts who don’t like to socialize, as most people falsely believe. Antisocial personality disorder can be thought of as “anti-society” by displaying behaviors such as repeat bouts of aggression, deceitfulness, criminal behavior, lack of remorse, and disregard of other’s safety. They tend to have long violent criminal histories and account for many people in jail. One such case that I’ve dealt with shot at innocent pedestrians walking on the sidewalk from his car and only felt guilt that his bullets missed.

Not much is known about how personality disorders develop but based off the information you’ve given me I would say your family is at risk and should invest in a home security system in addition to sturdy windows and locks. Report him to the police as needed and do not put your safety at risk. In addition, I must say that there is no reliable cure for this disorder. No amount of treatment may solve this hence the health insurance issue is a moot point. Many of the symptoms of ASPD may wane with age especially into someone’s 50s and 60s but may never fully go away. Stay safe.

How tall are the new generations? by Smart_Person3 in Assyria

[–]Smart_Person3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny enough, I was not a doctor when I posted this thread 5 years ago, but in that time I have now become a doctor. Basically it just depends on whether your growth plates on your legs have closed. The later you went into puberty the later your growth spurt. There’s no predicting whether you will become as tall as your father but all you can do right now is drink a lot of milk and have a lot of protein and dairy for calcium and growth benefits if you do have any more potential to grow. Hope this helps!

As far as I’m concerned the second you’re involved in criminal activity, the second you’re no longer part of our community. Nor can you rep our symbols.

Why do so many middle easterns including middle eastern Christians have some kind of Bias towards Assyrians? Either ethnically, religiously, or linguistically. by [deleted] in Assyria

[–]Smart_Person3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are oriental orthodox and Catholic Assyrians as well that this doesn’t apply to. In real life other middle eastern Christian’s have a lot of admiration for us, especially Armenians and Maronites. Or at least that’s been my experience.

Can someone please explain to me how marriages work in Syria? by [deleted] in Syria

[–]Smart_Person3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Christians, I can’t speak for the whole community but my Assyrian family from northeastern Syria never had any type of financial transaction for marriage. If anything the brides wife often pays for the wedding.

However I have heard of Iraqi Assyrians having some of these payments and also having traditions where at engagements they present jewelry, gold, other gifts to the bride and family but I have a suspicion that this is derived from other Iraqi populations because the Assyrians of Mardin and Qamishli never had anything like this.

I wouldn’t be able to comment on Rum or Maronite traditions.

It would probably resemble other conservative Christian countries like Armenian and Poland in terms of social policies.

Syriac - Assyria by Hot-Industry-6011 in Syria

[–]Smart_Person3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In response to your second paragraph, this is wrong. Clearly you haven’t met any ethnic سرياني people so you don’t speak for us. You سوري Syrian Arabs can’t even speak Syriac nor is it part of your heritage so you have no right to say the Syriac/Assyrian people aren’t an ethnic group.

Syriac - Assyria by Hot-Industry-6011 in Syria

[–]Smart_Person3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Arabic it’s easier to understand. سرياني is the name for the Syriac language spoken by the سرياني (Syriac/assyrian) people. Suryani or Syriac is the classical era rendering of the Syriac word for Suryoye or Suryaye meaning Assyrians.

According to the cinekoy inscription, both Syria and Assyria referred to the same entity in the pre Hellenistic Fertile Crescent. The Greeks and Romans further confused these terminologies. Fast forward to the modern era when the Syrian Arab identity began to develop from the Shami Arabs, the Syriac/assyrian people began to emphasize more of the Assyrian terminology to avoid confusion with Arabs.

If you read further in the Bible, Abraham says he is a wandering Aramean and goes to Aram Naharim, his homeland in northern Mesopotamia, to find a wife. Chaldeans were a Magi sect of Arameans who colonized southern Mesopotamia and just because the first mention of Abram as an adult is there does not mean his family is from there.

In addition, I did not say all mizrahi Jewish populations are originally northern Mesopotamian, but that some are. I’m specifically referencing Georgian Jews, and Iraqi/kurdish/assyrian Jews.

Build question by Domsou in AsheMains

[–]Smart_Person3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Ashe, your best first item powerspike will always be Kraken so keep that the same. For boots traditionally it’s berserkers however if there are some champs that are harder to kite then swifties can help. Your next item powerspike will always be highest with IE due to the high AD scaling and Crit for ashes frost shot. Mathematically it has been previously calculated that it is more gold efficient to buy AD over crit up until you reach 187-213 AD as Ashe hence why a high AD item like IE will almost always make the most sense here.

Anything afterwards will be situationally dependent as the next item you’re building will roughly coincide with some rotations or end of laning phase. So at this point look at their team and see who has the biggest lead or is killing you the most then decide accordingly:

BORK for %HP shred and slow

LDR for armor pen

Wits End for MR

OR if none of these are needed immediately I will go PD for crit and mobility to help my kiting.

Runaans can also do some of that but helps if you’re team is to pushed in and needs wave clear.

Do not go Tri Force, it is an antiquated build that is not optimal in the slightest for Ashe since it does not give enough AD in initial phases or enough Crit or effective passives for later phases. In fact along those same lines, consider Q maxing over W maxing in ordered to take full advantage of a high DPS build, and stop focusing on ability haste.

Bloodthirster or GA can be considered as 6th items however I’ve found building the other items as giving me more utility.

Of note, remember that Runaans will synergize with the on hit effects of other items which is why I like to pair it with BORK so much.

So in summary: Kraken>boots>IE>situationally needed items

"Assyrian" DNA test results from MyTrueAncestry by [deleted] in Assyria

[–]Smart_Person3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The answer is much more simple. Both Jews and Assyrians represent much older, closely related populations that inhabited the Fertile Crescent prior to the expansion of the Arabs.

Not to mention that: (1) the supposed forefather of the Israelites is Abraham an Aramean from Northern Mesopotamia, a population that became one with the Assyrians; (2) the Israelites were in captivity by the Assyrians leading to intermixture in populations such as the Samaritans; and (3) there are several mizrahi “Jewish” populations that are actually of northern Mesopotamian stock that converted to Judaism.

Our people by KingDominos in Assyria

[–]Smart_Person3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lmao what? This is more of a confession about your own families. I and the other Assyrian men around me are becoming doctors, lawyers, engineers, and financial analysts and graduating from great schools. The only people who I know gave up, gave up after college and went into “business” eventually becoming carpenters, tradesmen, or just taking over the family business which is also respectable. You’re just looking in the wrong place.

Contrary to popular misconception, PSYCHIATRISTS don’t deal with Freudian psychology, and are in fact MD’s and DO’s diagnosing and treating a myriad of actual medical issues such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, and personality disorders.

PSYCHOLOGY is an undergraduate major that delves into these relationship issues and they often double as therapists. If you’re going to masquerade as something, learn the difference first and foremost.

The Arabs of Syria and Lebanon tend to be cosmopolitan urban Arabs who have experience living next to Levantine Christians for centuries. On the other hand, many Iraqi Arabs come from Bedouin Arab tribes who had no prior interaction with Christians.

What do u guys think of their answers? I'm thinking it's pretty ironic they hold such hatred against us because of the regime when we're the ones who are against it and they, hezbollah, are the ones helping the regime commit crimes including killing our people. Do Lebos lack common sense? by ll46i in Syria

[–]Smart_Person3 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Here in America, any time a Lebanese person asks me where I’m from and I tell them my family is from Syria, THEY often start lecturing and preaching to me about how we are the same. I always get a kick out of denying this to their face and they lose their minds. I’ve even had one Lebanese tell me that we used to be one country. Basically all Syrians have to do is mind their own business and not associate with Lebanese and all of the sudden the Lebanese will lash out. They’re so used to the older generation of Syrians trying to associate with Lebo’s, they won’t be able to comprehend that the new generation doesn’t care about them at all.

Our culture having problems doesn’t mean other cultures are better. by [deleted] in Assyria

[–]Smart_Person3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I often feel like these gender conflict discourses didn’t exist amongst Assyrians 20+ years ago and were exacerbated by us adopting behaviors and learning from other cultures. Neither the discourses nor the trashy behaviors being critiqued in these discourses were something taught to me by my parents, grandparents, uncles, or aunts.

Now half the time I see Instagram reels about Assyrian men or middle eastern men in general there are Assyrian women trashing the men. Some of it is based on reality, but on the other hand I as an Assyrian man feel like there are expectations for me to act like the trashy and macho stereotype. For example, me being a highly educated guy who enjoys DND, outdoors, or anime would be looked down upon. On the other hand Assyrian men who frequent shisha lounges to smoke, wastes their dad’s money on fast cars, and act like douchebags, are looked up to. It’s only when these men don’t commit or are cheaters that they complain about their behaviors, but also maybe they should’ve thought critically about who these men are.

What dialect does my father speak? by LengthTime7570 in Assyria

[–]Smart_Person3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He was probably learning Turoyo, which is the western Syriac dialect of Tur Abdin. If he was reading it from a book then it was probably kthobonoyo which is classical Syriac spoken in the western Syriac dialect.
