(la: Cum poti deveni un personaj popular?) Nu stiu ce inseamna"pashunist",poate nu inteleg si timpul m-a uitat in trecut inainte de multe romanisme.Ceea ce stiu este ca personal NU fac deloc o parada din Romania si daca am discutat ceva despre tara natala a fost doar fiind intrebat
din curiozitatea prietenilor ce NU-S romani.Un lucru insa mereu am spus:ca Romania e de origine LATINA si nu ..slavica si DA,este adevarat ca am facut o mindrie din asta,dar nicidecum din cirnati ori sarmale sau tuica de 2 prune! Daniel,personal am avut o mare revelatie si sansa de a fi in apt. in Dakotta Bldg, si stat de vorba cu un celebru compozitor si muzician al lumii,Leonard Bernstein si NU eu am adus vorba despre Romania,ci chiar el insusi.El a fost primul care descoperind accentul meu strain m-a intrebat de unde sint,si am zis Bucuresti... imediat a fost chiar exaltat si a zis:Oh! Enesco,Brancusi despre care stia mai multe ca mine!Si DA,in acele momente am fost fericit ca sint roman!!!!! In plus fiind in prezenta unei faime si mare compozitor si muzician al lumii la rindul meu am simtit o bucurie de a fi roman,si NU am vorbit amindoi despre cirnati si tuica si nici chiar despre...Dracula. Am vorbit despre arta romaneasca ce a admirat-o f. mult,un om f. deschis si REAL fara a se da...mare... Am mai avut o alta ocazie de a vorbi cu un sculptor celebru in lume,Armand si la fel ...el a deschis discutia despre Romania.La fel si cu Andy Warhol la sediul lui in NY aproape de Hudson River,numit atunci"The Factory".Acesti oameni desigur,f. cultivati au cunoscut destule despre Romania si NU mi-a venit sa cred!Eu cred ca Romania vorbeste prin sine fara ca noi,cei romani francezi sau americani etc trebuie sa facem vreo propaganda turistica si chiar daca au auzit desigur de un Ilie Nastase sau Nadia Comaneci,cel putin in sfera mea de relatii si prieteni ei ar fi cei mai putin discutati. pt. ca daca a existat un Picasso de ex. si America a auzit de el,apoi crede-ma ca au auzit si de un Brancusi,si NU e deci nevoie sa le spui cine este.Ori Enesco. Iti inteleg uneori sarcasmul si NU e rau deloc sa-ti expui parerile,ai dreptul la freedom of speach ca fiecare altul-a.Vreau sa stiu daca ceea ce scrii vine din suflet sau din a-ti ascunde parerile proprii in spatele unor comentarii,ori ai poate un ego prea mare?NU ma anula imediat pt. ca am spus astea,sint sincer si la fel gindesc si as dori sa cred ca toti ce facem parte din cafenea sintem onesti in suflet si ca orice critici am primi vor fi privite ca o relatie si de prietenie si nicidecum insulte la adresa vreunui ego. DA!Aduci in discutie subiecte interesante si asta e bine,creaza un stimul gindirii si excita opinia propie a fiecaruia si te rog sa faci asta si pe mai departe!Personal apreciez gindirea si stilul tau si NU e o flatare,departe de mine asa ceva,dar de ce as minti? Azi am urmarit la TV(C-SPAN) un panel de discutii f. interesante si moderate de african-americans,am stat 6 ore in fata Tv-ului si cu toate ca deja stiam in mine,mi-am dat seama inca odata ca TOTI sintem unul si acelasi si NU conteaza CULOAREA si LOCUL de unde vii ori te-ai nascut!Acesti invitati,au reusit singuri sa devina ce au dorit de la ei pornind de la saracie crunta si rasismul american .Au invins si sint MINDRI de originea lor si trecutul de sclavie,fara drepturi de NICI un fel! Nimeni nu a vorbit despre locurile natale,ci despre viitor si despre o democratie ce trebuie sa fie in USA.Intre ei,mari profesori universitari si scriitori si activisti si oameni de stiinta,afla ca TOT ce au spus a fost un ecou in ceea ce simt si eu personal,sotia mea la fel.pt. noi de ex. NU conteaza UNDE te-ai nascut si deci CE culoare ai!Esti ACELASI SUFLET si trebuie sa fii respectat fiind ca un frate sau sora. NU POT AFIRMA DELOC ca sint...ROMAN,pt. ca mi-as minti sufletul.As putea insa spune ca sint un cetatean al lumii si NU apartin NICIUNEI TARI,fie chiar aceea in care m-am nascut.Nu fac parada din tara (USA)in care sint cetatean de 17 ani dar nu fac parada nici din cea in care m-am nascut.Toate AU MARI PROBLEME de orice nivel,economic,politic,spiritual etc.am gasit insa acum ca ex. aceasta dezbatere TV si crezi orice vrei si gindesti,mi-am spus opinia si cu onestitate. daca vrei sa fii popular lasa soarta sa decida in locul tau,acesta-mi e raspunsul si NU este adresat tie in mod particular,deloc!!!! Ai cel mai mare respect din partea mea. LOVE&PEACE, OZZY Pt. cei care stiu engleza (sau asa cred ei). Nu consider ca sunt experta dar ma descurc destul de bine. Chiar am primit complimente. In schimb cei mai prosti vorbitori de engleza sunt turcii (din cate stiu eu), din cauza ca nu pot pronunta consoanele una dupa alta. Va dati seama ce iese...
In ceea ce ma priveste filmele si cantecele in engleza au avut o foarte mare influenta, incercam sa imit felul in care spuneau cuvintele si in final am invatat mai multa engleza de la televizor decat din scoala, nici nu mai urmaream subtitrarea. Alt atu este faptul ca chiar imi place engleza. Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and heard, Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the latter, how it's written.) Now I surely will not plague you With such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak: Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; Cloven, oven, how and low, Script, receipt, show, poem, and toe. Hear me say, devoid of trickery, Daughter, laughter, and Terpsichore, Typhoid, measles, topsails, aisles, Exiles, similes, and reviles; Scholar, vicar, and cigar, Solar, mica, war and far; One, anemone, Balmoral, Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel; Gertrude, German, wind and mind, Scene, Melpomene, mankind. Billet does not rhyme with ballet, Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet. Blood and flood are not like food, Nor is mould like should and would. Viscous, viscount, load and broad, Toward, to forward, to reward. And your pronunciation's OK When you correctly say croquet, Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve, Friend and fiend, alive and live. Ivy, privy, famous; clamour And enamour rhyme with hammer. River, rival, tomb, bomb, comb, Doll and roll and some and home. Stranger does not rhyme with anger, Neither does devour with clangour. Souls but foul, haunt but aunt, Font, front, wont, want, grand, and grant, Shoes, goes, does. Now first say finger, And then singer, ginger, linger, Real, zeal, mauve, gauze, gouge and gauge, Marriage, foliage, mirage, and age. Query does not rhyme with very, Nor does fury sound like bury. Dost, lost, post and doth, cloth, loth. Job, nob, bosom, transom, oath. Though the differences seem little, We say actual but victual. Refer does not rhyme with deafer. Foeffer does, and zephyr, heifer. Mint, pint, senate and sedate; Dull, bull, and George ate late. Scenic, Arabic, Pacific, Science, conscience, scientific. Liberty, library, heave and heaven, Rachel, ache, moustache, eleven. We say hallowed, but allowed, People, leopard, towed, but vowed. Mark the differences, moreover, Between mover, cover, clover; Leeches, breeches, wise, precise, Chalice, but police and lice; Camel, constable, unstable, Principle, disciple, label. Petal, panel, and canal, Wait, surprise, plait, promise, pal. Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair, Senator, spectator, mayor. Tour, but our and succour, four. Gas, alas, and Arkansas. Sea, idea, Korea, area, Psalm, Maria, but malaria. Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean. Doctrine, turpentine, marine. Compare alien with Italian, Dandelion and battalion. Sally with ally, yea, ye, Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, and key. Say aver, but ever, fever, Neither, leisure, skein, deceiver. Heron, granary, canary. Crevice and device and aerie. Face, but preface, not efface. Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass. Large, but target, gin, give, verging, Ought, out, joust and scour, scourging. Ear, but earn and wear and tear Do not rhyme with here but ere. Seven is right, but so is even, Hyphen, roughen, nephew Stephen, Monkey, donkey, Turk and jerk, Ask, grasp, wasp, and cork and work. Pronunciation -- think of Psyche! Is a paling stout and spikey? Won't it make you lose your wits, Writing groats and saying grits? It's a dark abyss or tunnel: Strewn with stones, stowed, solace, gunwale, Islington and Isle of Wight, Housewife, verdict and indict. Finally, which rhymes with enough -- Though, through, plough, or dough, or cough? Hiccough has the sound of cup. My advice is to give up!!!

care-s alea valori occidentale... Pt MYA si Emniescu

romanul_vesel
la: 16/01/2005 09:26:55
(la: Bush-Personalitatea Anului) Salut mya,
Mi s-a parut ca am auzit numele meu mentionat in comentariul tau pentru Eminescu?... Am I right? Era vorba de freedom-ul pe care America l-a adus in Irak. Nu-i asa? Well,... let me think about it... Hm,... Cred ca ai dreptate...;-)). Eminescule, aici ai dat-o in bara! Mya se referea la valorile occidentale aduse de armata americana in Irak, si nu de valorile occidentale din America. Era vorba de FREEEEDOOOOMMMM! Dar nu uita ca OCCIDENTUL cu valori occidentale este numai in America. Pentru ca occidentul care nu este "OCCIDENT CU VALORI OCCIDENTALE" crede cu totul diferit. Acel occident nu crede ca interventia in Irak a avut scopul de a aduce VALORI OCCIDENTALE adica FREEDOM. Si asta nu o spun eu, citeste articolul de mai jos: ***Former Australian foreign minister Gareth Evans, who heads up the UN International Crisis Group and who chaired the conference, "emphasised that the criteria did not justify intervening in Iraq but did justify an intervention in Rwanda", Mr Hammarberg said. You could say that (the panel discussion) included indirect criticism of (the US) and the war in Iraq," he added. While UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has called the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq "illegal", the world body itself has met harsh criticism for failing to intervene to stop the 100 days of ethnic bloodshed in Rwanda in 1994, when at least 800,000 people, mainly minority Tutsis, were killed. According to a UN overhaul proposed in December, five criteria should be met before international intervention in a country is acceptable, including only using violence as a last resort and ensuring that the advantages gained through intervening outweigh the disadvantages and the loss of human life suffered as a consequence of the intervention.*** Mya, ai dreptate!!! Intrega lume occidentala fara VALORI OCCIDENTALE este gresita. Singura greseala comisa de America si serviciile ei de presa a fost neprecizarea ca toti cei peste 100 000 de irakieni omoriti de la inceputul razboiului, impreuna cu cei peste 10 000 de prizonieri torturati - de niste soldati si ofiteri ignoranti de grade inferioare, care nu auzisera de Conventia de la Geneva - erau toti niste terorisiti. Reprezentanti ai regimului absolutist al lui Saddam si nu aveau habar de VALORILE OCCIDENTALE pe care America se pregatea sa le implementeze in Irak. Well, s-ar putea ca pe ici pe colea sa mai fi fost si alte victime (colateral casualities)... dar daca ne gindim la scopul nobil al interventiei, ei pot fi considerati "diamante aruncate la porci". Alex Asa cum singura ai spus-o "adolescenta e perioada in care totul pare confuz,in care ai cele mai multe indoieli legate de infatisare sau de propria personalitate". acum tu esti pe un drum bun dar esti cam confuza. dar asta se rezolva cu timpul.
"Pt.mine,adolescenta a insemnat sa dau "delete" tuturor amintirilor si sa o iau de la capat cu o cu totul alta personalitate,cu alte vise" vei afla in curand ca nu ai dat nici un 'delete". ai dat doar un "hide" pe care il vei anula curand din "control panel/folder option/view file" adultii aia care vorbesc despre bani (fapt care te streseaza pe tine) o fac de multe ori pentru ca tu (ca si copil) sa poti sa ai ceea ce iti doresti: haine, telefon mobil, calculator, internet. crede-ma ca ei ar putea sa traiasca si fara astea dar stiu ca pentru tine (nu e vorba de tine ca persoana ci de orice adolescent in general) e important sa le ai. face parte din imaginea ta "cool", de "vorbitor-cu-tz-k-si-cuvinte-englezesti". profi de la liceu se uita la voi de sus? cati dintre colegii tai isi copiaza comentariile la romana de pe referate.ro sau alte site-uri de genul asta? cati dintre colegii tai ii respecta? stiu, la varsta asta stim mai bine decat profii si materia si cum sa se predea. la un moment dar iti vei da seama ca nu e chiar asa (desi e evident ca sunt si profi care nu au ce cauta la catedra asa cum si tu ai colegi care nu ar fi trebuit sa ajunga in liceu). "Stiu,nu e important liceul,ci facultatea si mai ales ceea ce ai in cap." nu e important nici liceul, nici facultatea ci doar ceea ce inveti. sa-ti aduci aminte tot timpul de replica pe care vrajitorul din oz i-a spus unui personaj: "nu pot sa-ti dau o minte dar pot sa-ti dau o diploma". asta face si scoala. Cel mai corect lucru mi se pare ca fiecare elev sa aiba un nr. obligatoriu de ore,dar sa le aleaga singur,dupa preferinta.Stiu ca aceasta mentalitate nu va fi acceptata prea usor in Romania,dar sper ca intr-o zi,poate chiar copiii mei vor avea ocazia sa invete intr-un astfel de liceu. mentalitatea asta cum ii zici tu (desi ea este de fapt un stil de a face scoala) nu este acceptata nici in occident. in cel mai bun caz, ai o serie de cursuri care sunt obligatorii si o serie de cursuri pentru care poti sa optezi alaturi de cele obligatorii. daca cineva n-a inteles ce zici tu (cum crezi tu ca nu a inteles mya), intreaba-te unde este vina ta in asta. poate tu nu ai reusit sa-ti exprimi gandurile cum trebuie. procesul de comunicare implica un emitator si un receptor. nu e obligatoriu ca vina sa apartina receptorului. da-mi voie sa-ti recomand o carte (nu se citeste foarte usor dar nici foarte greu si eu cred ca e o carte buna): gabriel liceeanu - despre limita. si daca ti-o recomand inseamna ca am si incredere in tine ca vei putea sa o citesti si sa o intelegi. ti-am spus ca esti pe drumul cel bun :) o sa devii adult si o sa vezi ca poti sa visezi cu ochii deschisi daca vrei (fie te-ai uitat prea mult la "peter pan" fie ai citit "micul print" de prea multe ori sa crezi ca adultii sunt asa rai). incearca sa ai incredere in ei si daca nu te inteleg, gandeste-te daca modul in care le-ai comunicat framantarile tale a fost cel mai bun. daca e ceva ce adultii nu sunt, atunci ei nu sunt vrajitori sa stie ce este in sufletul si in gandurile tale.
tu ii numesti anti-americani?!...

Cine poate sa fie pro-american cind cei care pretind ca apara democratia si pacea, de fapt gindesc in felul urmator: --------------------------------------------------------------- It's fun to shoot some people: US General 10:19 AM February 4 A senior US Marine Corps General who said it was "fun to shoot some people" should have chosen his words more carefully but will not be disciplined, military officials have said. Lieutenant General James Mattis, who led troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, made the comments at a conference on Tuesday in San Diego. "Actually it's quite fun to fight them, you know. It's a hell of a hoot. It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right up front with you, I like brawling," said Lt Gen Mattis. "You go into Afghanistan, Lt Gen Mattis said during a panel discussion. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them." The audience laughed and applauded after he made his remarks, which were shown on US television. In a statement, General Michael Hagee, commander of the Marine Corps, praised Lt Gen Mattis as "one of this country's bravest and most experienced military leaders". "While I understand that some people may take issue with the comments made by him, I also know he intended to reflect the unfortunate and harsh realities of war," Gen Hagee said. ------------------------------------------------------------- HAHAHA... alba - neagra... sus de sapte, jos de sapte si la mijloc de trei ori... A lot of a fun to shoot people!!! OK guys lets have fun strat shooting at me... hahahaha... Poti sa ma numesti anit-american daca vrei dar nu voi accepta declaratiile Lt Gen Mattis. Poate si copii lui au fun, iau pusca lui tac'su si se duc la scoala sa impuste citiva colegi... Daca vrei sa afli mai multe motive pentru care unii devin "anti-americani" iti pot atasa transcriptul interviului de asta noapte a lui Rumsfeld la programul lui Larry King. Good bye little american puppet. God be with you!

(la: Ce regretati de pe vremea lui Ceausescu?) ... nu numai ca a uitat sa citeze sursa (asa cum se cade dupa obicieiurile site-ului), sa pomeneasca contextul (o intalnire cu noii recruti) dar a mai si 'sarit' peste unele pasaje care nu se 'potriveau' cu punctul lui de vedere. sau 'copy&paste' a lui are un 'bug' (blame it on billy...).
citez un exemplu din: http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/02/03/general.shoot/ (cu 'james mattis' pe google gasiti cateva site-uri care se refera la subiect) iata un fragment: "You go into Afghanistan, you got guys who slap women around for five years because they didn't wear a veil," Mattis said during a panel discussion. "You know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them." 'bold-ul imi apartine si e pe fraza 'sarita'... nu stiu de ce dar unele comentarii arata ca alea 'comandate' de pe vremea 'raposatului'...

am vazut pe undeva pe net o caricatura reprezentand echivalentul 'electric' al barbatului si a femeii. barbatul era reprezentat ca un bec cu un simplu intrerupator on/off femeia ca un panel de aparat cu zeci de butoane, intrerupatoare, led-uri si beculete de diverse marimi si culori. ps cico - mi-a placut comentariul tau. oricum mai invioreaza discutia care intrase pe linie moarta

An elderly Italian man who lived on the outskirts of Monte Casino went to the local church for confession. When the priest slid open the panel in the confessional, the man said, "Father, during World War II, a beautiful woman knocked on my door and asked me to hide her from the enemy. So I hid her in my attic." The priest replied, "That was a wonderful thing you did, my son! And you have no need to confess that." "It's worse than that, Father. She started to repay me with sexual favors." The priest said, "By doing that, you were both in great danger. However, two people under those circumstances can be very tempted to act that way. But if you are truly sorry for your actions, you are indeed forgiven." "Thank you, Father. That's a great load off my mind. But I do have one more question." "And what is that?" "Should I tell her the war is over?"

Olins, creatorul sloganului Orange: "the future is bright"

> Miercuri, 05 Noiembrie 2003

> Guru mondial al branding-ului, la Bucuresti
> Guru mondial al branding-ului, Wally Olins, este prezent timp de
doua zile la Bucuresti, fiind invitat de revista Biz si de compania de
consultanta Brandient. El este printre cei mai mari creatori de marci din
lume. Numele sau este legat de Orange, a carei identitate a redefinit o
intreaga industrie, de Renault, British Telecom, Unilever. La aproape 70 de
ani, se dedica unui domeniu neobisnuit: branding-ului de tara. In
portofoliul sau se afla Polonia, Anglia, Portugalia, Spania. Sloganul pe
care l-a construit pentru promovarea lusitanilor este extrem de expresiv
"tara unde Atlanticul atinge Europa". Este totodata conferentiar la Said
Business School-Oxford si are propria firma de consultanta.
>
> Inainte de a sosi in Romania, si-a organizat un panel (un grup de
intervievati). I-a intrebat ce stiu despre tara noastra. Nimeni nu a stiut
mai mult decit: Ceausescu si Bucuresti. La reuniunea de ieri a participat si
Mircea Geaona, ministrul de externe care a anuntat ca trebuie sa regindim
programul "Made in Romania".
> Iliescu este un regim, un om de stat, un lider post-comunist? Cum e
el perceput in strainatate?
> Ceausescu?
> Iliescu, actualul presedinte.
> Nimeni nu stie cine e Iliescu, in afara Romaniei. Nu este perceput
nicicum. Stii cine e presedintele Elvetiei? Oamenilor nu le pasa de
politicieni. Cine sint ei.
> Daca miine v-ar angaja guvernul Romaniei, care ar fi primele
recomandari?
> Sa stringa la un loc toate personalitatile reprezentative din
politica, business, sport, cultura, publicitate. Apoi, sa-si fixeze clar
tintele, pentru ca nu te poti adresa tuturor. Tarile din NATO, UE si cele
invecinate sint "target"-uri suficiente. Toti trebuie sa gaseasca "Ideea",
pentru ca in planul urmator sa identifice oportunitati, punctele tari.
> Puterea de la Bucuresti cheltuie aproape 6 milioane de dolari pentru
"promovarea" lui Stefan cel Mare, un fost conducator de principate. Merita
asa o investitie?
> Toate statele investesc sume mari in promovare. Problema este nu
citi bani se pun in joc, ci cum stii sa coordonezi mai eficient
cheltuielile. Daca lucrurile sint corecte, poti sa obtii un impact maxim.
> E bine sau rau?
> Cu un singur individ sau personalitate nu se poate face un proiect
coerent. Asta, in opinia mea.
> Ati fost intrebat la seminar daca includerea Casei Poporului in
programul de vizita al strainilor e eficient din punct de vedere al
schimbarii imaginii Romaniei.
> Da. Ar trebui vinduta lui Disneyland. Poate va fii interesanta ca o
curiozitate, asemeni piramidelor, peste vreo 200-300 de ani.
> Cum ati construit brand-ul Polonia?
> Am pornit de la ideea ca Polonia este un stat extrem de puternic,
situat in Europa Centrala si de Rasarit, care joaca in nord-est-ul Europei
rolul Spaniei in sud.
> Cum suna sloganul "Romania, mereu surprinzatoare"?
> Nicicum. Surprinzatoare poate fi si Anglia, Spania, Portugalia.
Folosirea acestuia e o pierdere de vreme.
> Cit dureaza un program de branding de tara?
> 20 de ani. Nu este un lucru usor. Toate fortele tarii trebuie
implicate intr-un astfel de proiect.
> Si cum pornim?
> Gasiti ideea. Crearea unei identitati de natiune este o munca extrem
de complicata. Nu poti vinde tara ca pe un produs. Aceasta are un trecut, o
traditie, o cultura. Cautati oameni reprezentativi, idei geniale, sportivi
de marca, muzicieni, scriitori de prestigiu. Gasiti simboluri care sa va
reprezinte.
> Alteceva decit Dracula?
> Asta e o idee proasta. Nu o mai folositi. Strainii va vor ironiza.
Cautati sa personalizati lucruri, mincaruri, obiceiuri. Aduceti ceva
diferit. Veniti cu particularitati care sa va reprezinte. Ce e Romania fata
de Venezuela? Trebuie sa va recunoasca lumea si dupa altceva decit Dracula
si Ceausescu. Ati facut progrese remarcabile, astea trebuie promovate. Cind
realitatea se schimba si imaginea trebuie sa se schimbe.
>
> Programul "Made in Romania" trebuie reconsiderat. De ce sa nu mergem
pe brand-ul Transilvania? Are o muzica mai buna, un sunet de finete.
Asocierea cu Moldova este un brand negativ, facind trimiteri la
Transnistria, lupte etc.
> MIRCEA GEOANA, ministru de externe
