Website title:

...we give children special consideration because of their "status". As minors they are not expected to earn or deserve anything significant....by the mere condition of BEING minors, they are entitled, by law and custom, to certain kinds of special waivers and rights. These are "rights of status"...not earned but due simply because of what or where or who you are.

...our own nationalist assyrians try to play this role as well. Without doing anything EXCEPT "being assyrian", a status they confer on themselves, they expect to be given certain things....not anything they have to work for, or earn, or deserve in any meaningful way, but simply because of who they SAY they are...their status.

..like children, they feel they are owed certain things...such as oil-rich lands now belonging to, and settled long ago by, adults. They don't work for these rights...like this Ashurbanipal fellow and Aprim and so many more children...in fact they don't believe they need to DO anything, except demand and expect...like any petulant child.

...sent to his room, in Australia, for a time-out, this Ashurbanipal is still whining about how he didn't do anything wrong and you better give him his country or he'll hold his breath till he turns blue. Go ahead..it's a color on the assyrian flag. Show your assyrianism by turning blue.
