I read you, but I think I am willing to give to the "passer bys" the benefit
of doubt in this case even though having seen that kind of attitude in the
late '60s figured heavily in my fleeing Hungary.  I was repeatedly getting
into trouble with the Party secretary (also the Personnel chief) of my
work place over even such simple things as complaining loudly in front of my
co-workers about the biased news coverage of the space war between the US and
USSR.  This was immediately reported by the group's well known "rat" and I
was then "invited" by the Party chief to a talk in his "wood shack".
The cup became full for me when the chief gave his "last warning."  But it
wasn't so much that warning that made me decide to flee, but the total lack
of solidarity by the group members who privatly held the same views as I.
Instead of making that "rat" feel a miserable outsider, they accepted him
as if they thought of nothing of his despicable methods.  I could not
believe that this was the same people who only ten years before stood up
as one against the communist regime, risking more than they would have
risked by shunning this rat.  What's even more ironic is to see the same
people now trying to take the moral high ground against those of us,
who then fled the country, by saying: "while you chose the comfortable
life in the West, we were left here to suffer."  I am sure that this view
figures heavily in their not wanting to grant voting rights to Hungarian
citizens living abroad.  A rather unique limitation on citizenship rights
even in the former East Bloc.

I agree that society ows them and as far as I know, the government does
provide some extra pensions and benefits to the most serious victims of
Communism, but the extra benefit is rather nominal, compared to their
victimization.

Sorry.  What I was referring to, of course, was the fact that the change in
government personnel was only true for the first free elections, in '90.
But, since the reform communists were voted back to power in '94, the
change in personnel is no longer true even at the cabinet level.  Many of
the government officials are the same now as they were before '90.
Only the rhethorics and symbols changed.

Just as long you stress morality transcending any specific religion,

So then a good "christian" will want to keep abortion
legal--for we must be able to choose good.
If all choices are taken away, there is no choice.

BTW, Ivan, you wild&crazy guy,
since abortion is legal, it cannot by definition
be murder.

Interestingly, the Ms has been posting her :ARE THE HUNGARIANS MONGOLS?

the Hungarian neighbourhood. She doesn't cross post them in a single

I never understood it either. During the Euro `96 football championship,
for example, at least two of the four terrestrial channels of Britain
broadcast the very same match. And usually a third one covered some
other sporting event (i.e. crickett, horse racing or tennis). I'm not a
great fan of sports on telly, so perhaps it explains my mental
limitations, but could anyone please explain, whom this programs policy
is beneficial?

And this seems to happen again (and again...) during the olympic games.

Those are badly formulated questions. In order to have a meaningful discussion,
a few definitions should be agreed on first. What is your understanding of the
word "communism"? What is your understanding of "morality"? What rules do you
use to say whether a thing is moral or not? You can only say "communism (or 
capitalism, or byciclism) is moral/immoral BASED ON THOSE CRITERIA". If, 
however, you do not state the criteria, you commit a reasoning error.

Please notice that the idea of "morality" is very much a subjective one.
Even if within a certain culture you may find a number of common ideas
about morality, there is much individual variation, and there are major
differences between cultures. Therefore your questions may not find a 
good answer, unless you severely limit the scope of the discussion.

The same problem applies. "Evil" is a subjective (and emotional) word. You
must define the terms.

I know lots of Hungarians in United States and other foreign lands who 
are presenting the Romanians as Gipses.Advancing the idea that 
ROM=ROMANIAN=GYPSY.
The HUNGARIANS know very well the history of the Romanians(Olah,Vlacv).
Unfortunatly,some of the Hungarians(+Austrians,implicitly Germans) in the 
West try desperately (guided by the nostalgia of the Austro-Hungarian 
Empire) to degrade the Romanians to the point where they will fill 
inferior.(With no Roman Roots).
And all this is because they(Hungarians +Germanics)did not accommodate 
with the idea that Transilvania is part of Romania.
For those Hungarians who ignore HISTORY:

                                                      PART I

Note: In the following article I used Romanians(Vlachs) = ROMANS. The = 
sign should be interpreted as: direct descendants of the Romans,people 
connected culturaly,racialy,to the Romans.


The Romanians were known in the past as:

VALACHUS (By the Catholic West)
FLACI(By catholic West)
IFLAK (By the Turks)
VLASI & VOLOH (By the Slavs)
OLAH &BLACH (By the Hungarians)
OLAHOK (By the Hungarians)
OLASZOK (The Hungarian name for the Italians)
WALACH (By the Germans)
WALSCHER (The German name for the Italians)
BLACHOS & VLACHOS (By the Greeks)
BLOCH (By the Saxons in Transilvania)
WOLOSZY (By the Polish)
WLOCHI (The Polish name for the Italians)

In old German WALH = ROMAN
In Gothic VOLK = ARMED PEOPLE
In old slavonic VLAST = POWER(considered of Gothic origin)
In old slavonic VLAST = GIGANTE

Romanians always called themselves ROMANS & RUMANS,and the neighbors 
called them Vlachs,Vlasi,Olahs,etc.
If we mention few Chronicals where the Romanians are mentioned we are 
going to learn more.

From:

CONSTANTINE FLAVIUS PORPHYROGENITUS (BYZANTINE EMPEROR 913-959)
From "De administrando imperio".Constantine's surname, 
PORPHYROGENITUS(that is, born in the Purple Chamber of the Imperial 
Palace in CONSTANTINOPLE).

 "The emperor Diocletian was much enamored of the country of Dalmatia,and 
he brought folk with their families from ROME and settled them in this 
same country of Dalmatia,and they were called ROMANI (VLACHS) from their 
having been removed from ROME, and this title attaches to them until this 
day..."

"The territory possessed by the ROMANI used to extend as far as the river 
Danube"
(Constantine shows that the ROMANS(Latins, NOT Greek Romans or 
Byzantines) or Vlachs are the original Romans.

"The country of the ZXHLUMI was previously possessed by the ROMANS, I 
mean, by those ROMANI whom Diocletian the emperor translated from ROME"
(Constantine is talking about the Imperial Romans,who are going to be 
known under the name of VLACHS).
 
"The country of Diocleia was also previously possessed by the 
ROMANI(Vlachs) whom the emperor Diocletian translated from ROME"

"The country in which the Pagani now dwell was also previously possessed 
by the ROMANI(Vlachs) whom the emperor Diocletian translated from ROME 
and settled in Dalmatia".

"At that time when the Avars had fought and expelled from those parts the 
ROMANI(Vlachs) whom the emperor Diocletian had brought from ROME and 
settled there,and who therefore called ROMANI from their having been 
translated from ROME to those countries"

SUMMARY: In his description of the Greek Roman Empire,we can definitely 
identify two people,the Imperial Romans(VLACHS-those Romans  who 
initiated the empire),called by Constntine,ROMANI, and the Greek 
Romans(BYZANTINES-those Romans who adopted GREEK as the language of the 
State and Church).

SUMMARY: Romanians = Romans (Vlachs).

(ut ante relatum est) "

SUMMARY:

Imperial colony,speaking a language close to Latin or Italian)

gens sed omnes quoque finitimae nationes hodie Italos nominant. Valacchi 
originis suae illud praecipuum prae se ferunt argumentum quod, quamvis 
Mysorum lingua quae illyrica est omnes utantur, vernaculo tamen sermone, 
hoc est latino haud prorsus obsoleto ab incunabulis loquuntur; et cum

THE ROMANS,by their flesh and blood"

 
POPE Innocent III (in a letter addressed to IONITA, lord of the 
Bulgarians and Romanians,from 1203)


"Thus, taking this into account, we have decided since long, through our 
envoy or our letters, that we should pay a visit to your lordship, so 
that,realizing your faith to the Roman Church,Your Mother, we might then

to keep a tight rein over Dacians under the leadership of a certain 
Flaccus, after whose name the coutry was called Flacohia and its 
inhabitants were called VLACHS instead of Flacci. This people speaks now 
a ROMAN idiom, although partly changed,and hardly understood by an 
Italian".

                                                         PART II


                                           THE HISTORY OF GYPSY.



"The Gypsies of Eastern Europe" Editted by David Crowe and John Kolsti 
with an introduction by Ian Hancock.


"THE GYPSY HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE IN ROMANIA

In the long course of the Gypsy experience in Eastern Europe, none has 
been worse than that in Romania.
Within several centuries after Gypsies entered the medieval provinces of 
Wallachia and Moldavia, they began to be enslaved, a condition that 
lasted until the mid-nineteenth century.Although slavery was not a 
condition peculiar to Gypsies or the Balkans at the time, the deep-seated,
 dehumanizing prejudice that has characterized the historic Romanian 
relationship with Gypsies produced a socioeconomic caste system that 
resulted in the ‘social death' of Gypsies as Romanian slaves, and...Over 
the next century, Gypsy slavery became institutionalize in the Romanian 
Provinces...In the aftermath of his campaigns against the Ottoman Empire 
in northern Bulgaria in 1461-1462, the Wallachian ruler, Vlad Tepes(the 
Impaler), brought back 11,000-12,000 Gypsies(or Gypsy -like people ) to 
his capital where he tortured and killed some for his entertainment....
Stephen the Great (1457-1504), brought 17'000 Gypsies back from his 
campaigns in Wallachia in 1471 to use as slave labor.His move, however, 
simply strengthened a practice supported by law, which, for example, 
stated that any Moldavian that got a Gypsy pregnant and wanted to marry 
her would lose his status and have to become a slave. Later, ‘any 
Moldavian who married a gipsy himself joined the ranks of the robi' ".

                                           CONCLUSION:

READING PART I & PART II, IT IS EASY TO SEE WHY THE ROMANIANS &MOLDOVIANS 
DO NOT LIKE THE GYPSIES TO BE CALLED ROMANI.

The Byzantines writers never reefers to the GYPSIES as ROMANI, nobody did.
The name ROM, ROMY started to appear late at the beginning of the 20th. 
Century.The name of ROM comes from the Gypsies word DOM(probably a 
religious term). Now from DOM to ROMANI is a long way,and unacceptable to 
the Romanians for obvious reasons.

I think there is big misunderstanding about commercials, etc. during the 
parade of nations.  The nations took quite a long time to reach there final 
destination in the infield.  I think they could have easily cut away for 
commercials and made it back to show the teams they missed during the 
commercial.  NBC certainly has enough camera and camera men to cover the 
whole trip around the track.  The point is that NBC made no attempt to show 
all the nations, they think it too boring.  Bob Costas insulted many of the 
countries they did show.  Only Dick Enberg made a sincere attempt to say 
something positive about each country, or say nothing at all.  The coverage 
is very emblematic of a country that wants to be a world leader in everything 
and the most powerful country in the world, while ignoring the rest of the 
world.  I am quite glad that coverage of the gymnastics event has shown much 
more attention to other teams as well as our own than the opening ceremonies 
coverage.

Luckily I don't have to watch American TV cover on the games.
Virtually I have a choice amongst 10 or so channels that
broadcast the games incuding British, German, Swiss, French
and Italian channels plus Eurosport and few other newschannels.
But it worth nothin'  'cose they always show exactly the same
stuff. It is completely stupid even in advertising standpoint.

Europe is big. There is enough people who wants to see some-
thing else instead of swimming or basketball for instance. If
one chanell would follow this tactics could make good money
out of it...

Ez erdekes kerdes. En furcsanak tartom, hogy egy ilyen gyorsan

ez az irracionalis ragaszkodas a 7 bites kommunikaciohoz, meg az
ASCII-hez, ami az angolszasz nyelvet - es azt is hianyos betukesz-
lettel -erolteti olyan nyelvekre, amelyek lenyegesen tobb betuvel
rendelkeznek. Ezzel gyakorlatilag nyelvtanilag helytelen irasra keny-
szeriti az embert.

Es abszurd, hogy az az embert megfléjmelik egy
rossz angol tobbesszamert,  igeidoegyeztetesert vagy helytelenul
hasznalt szoert olyan emberek, akik magyar irasa az ekezetek hianya
miatt egy-ket szo utan barmely gimnaziumi dolgozatban elegtelennek
minosulne. (Mint most az enyime)  :-)

Pontosan ez az a kornyezet, ahol ki lehet kenyszeriteni, hogy az a sok
lusta ember valtoztasson a mexokott eletstilusan es vegye a faradt-
sagot, hogy uj rendszert instalaljon a gepere, esatobbi-esatobbi. Nem
ertek egyet azzal, hogy mert par ember lusta atallni a 8 bites kom-
munikaciora , nekem ilyen hibasan kell hasznalnom az anyanyelvemet.
