de cand se traduce "jew" prin "jidan"(termen insultator)?
N-am intentionat sa jignesc pe nimeni si nu stiam ca "jidan" e un termen insultator; daca e imi cer scuze. Cum s-ar traduce atunci? --- ca n-am un dictionar englez-roman la indemina. Dupa cite stiu eu: hebrew = evreu israeli = israelian jew = ? (eu credeam jidan---corectati-ma) jewish = de religie ?

R. BAKER Race xiv. 234 From the traditional religious point of view, a Jew was a person born of a Jewish mother, but this formula suffers from the defect that the defined word is included in adjectival form in the definition.

As a name of opprobrium: spec. applied to a grasping or extortionate person (whether Jewish or not) who drives hard bargains. In medieval England, Jews, though engaged in many pursuits, were particularly familiar as money-lenders, their activities being publicly regulated for them by the Crown, whose proteges they were. In private, Christians also practised money-lending, though forbidden to do so by Canon Law. Thus the name of Jew came to be associated in the popular mind with usury and any extortionate practices that might be supposed to accompany it, and gained an opprobrious sense. 1606 Sir G.

(la: SUFLETUL ESTE NEMURITOR) Daca tu numesti pleonasm...unde incadrezi mai precis acasta idee? PLEONASM [16c: from Latin pleonasmus, Greek Pleonasmós ('more-ness') excess, redundancy]. A traditional term for the use of more words than necessary, either for effect, or more usually as a fault of style, and any instance of that use, as in: Could you repeat that again? rather than Could you say that again? or Could you repeat that?; They both got one each rather than They both got one or They got one each; That's a more superior product (superior already denotes 'more'); It's a really new innovation (an innovation is already new). Some common pleonasms attract little comment, such as free gift (gifts are by definition free) and plans for the future (plans cannot be about the present or past). Many famous writers have been pleonastic, including Shakespeare's double superlative 'The most unkindest cut of all' (Julius Caesar). Bibliography: 1992 The Oxford Companion to the English Language.

(la: O conversatie cu DINU LAZAR, fotograf) Mie nu imi suna bine chestia asta:
Dear Friends, I am Gaurav Dhwaj Khadka from Kathmandu, Nepal and I am 22 years old guy. I am student and I am doing my BA in English, Sociology and Anthropology. I am also learning photography but as my first work, I got the job at a local newspaper to shot photo for them and I was sent to take photographs of Andaman and NICO bar islands in India. But it was that I was also hit by the tsunami and I lost my camera and a good friend that help me in all my troubles and problems. I was also injured by that nightmare and have a pierce a nail in my right hand over an elbow, but I was a lucky one that I survive but I feel myself guilty because my friend did not want to go over there but I presser him to go with me. Because of me he lost his life, so I feel that I will never touch the camera and never take any photo in my life but back in home in Nepal. I find a note book of my lost friend in my room that was filled with his word about me and he wanted to me be a famous photographer and film makers. He was an orphan so my mom treats him as her own son so he feels that I was a brother to him, so he wanted me to be a good and famous photographer of Nepal. I did not even get the body of my brother, now I am quite well but as I uplift any heavy things with my right hand it hurt like hell. By time pass physical wound will heal but the wound that I got on my heart never heals. So I thought to start over again my friend dreams. So I have to start from nothing because I have lost my all camera. So I beg you to send me any SLR camera as donations or I will pay you back but only as installments of 100 US$ each installment. I was using Nikon FM 10 with 28-80-2.8 lens. It is best for me if you can send me Nikon FM10 w/35-70mm lens Or 500 US$. I will pay you back I promise you, so please do help me. You can also send me any other books or note books about photography and other cameras that you do not use. It will be very helpful for me, the world is changing a lot with digital camera and I love to get one, if any body have one that you do not use that or you get new one than please do send me that too with its all manual and soft wear for that I will pay you back or as donations.

(la: Va place Opera?) Comentariu de Georges Valch
PROUDFRECKLED : M-am dezobisnuit prietene sa masor dependenta mea de un anumit lucru, prin cantitate. Altfel, judecand uneori dupa bucuria din jur, as fi uneori tentat sa ma cred fericit. In ce priveste cultura… Opera este cu adevarat o arta. Una pe care eu ca profan nu stiu cu ce simt sa o percep. Dar in afara de ea, oamenii incep sa numeasca arta o sumedie de alte lucruri, care n-au legatura cu asta. Honey in the Sunshine : I will try a plate English here, because how you have allready seen, if i use Romanian, I could make mistakes. So, I’ve never said that culture-people doesn’t need to like the Opera. By contrary: The Opera it’s a great art, and if i feel some shame inside it’s because I can’t get that feeling that you, and the others like you have, and feeling touched by this art. About the others shames of people… Maybe i will make a conference in a day 4 this. muma padurii : Hei(:)),tichar! liv za kids alaun! Mereu ma repet. Dar de ce nu pot trai la fel cu voi o emotie legata de opera? De ce nu pot sa zic: hfygljpojftyikikuiyi;okopkjylkyhoiytjoiyjityjty iar voi sa intelegeti imediat? Si de ce, mai rau, sa zic asa si voi sa pricepeti : yuguygiuoiuytdoijoiiu ? Intruder : AIDA’de! Bah, Bacu asta era Dem Radulescu shi avea el un sicret da-l aruncara comunistii la parnaie! Pai normal, fratzie cah le-avea omu cu fugile: daca alerga gaborii dupe iel? Mai traitziar, noi estem intelectualy cu tontzii, care kil da oja mai hare cocoshei ca noi la portofel? Io am platit un poiet da mi-a scris toate forumili astea… shal dracu nu mananka nici cat un pekinez. Hauzi? Da ia zi cand hai fost la Opera, atzi rasbyt prin parku ala?

(la: "Ce bine e sa fi desptept si in acelasi timp si roman") ? 1827 - Petrache Poenaru, membru al Academiei Romane si unul dintre organizatorii învatamântului national inventeaza predecesorul stiloului modern: ?condei portaret, fara sfârsit, alimentându?se singur cu cerneala?
Homer had a long lasting writing pen made of reed. Da Vinci drew improvements .. Etc… ? 1858 - Bucuresti - primul oras din lume iluminat cu petrol si prima rafinare a petrolului. Romans had full streets in Rome lighted with torches and with heated sidewalks so that Roman ladies feet do not freeze … Baltimore in 1816 was the first city to light its streets with gas. ... Soon much of America, as well as other countries were lighted by gas First oil refining was done in Ploiesti (not Bucuresti) by Enhlish engineers 1n 1856 … at the time when America found its first oil field … We were ahead here!!! ? 1880 - Dumitru Vasescu - construieste automobilul cu motor cu aburi. In 1769, the very first self-propelled road vehicle was a military tractor invented by French engineer and mechanic, Nicolas Joseph Cugnot (1725 - 1804). Cugnot used a steam engine to power his vehicle, built under his instructions at the Paris Arsenal by mechanic Brezin. It was used by the French Army to haul artillery at a whopping speed of 2 1/2 mph on only three wheels. The vehicle had to stop every ten to fifteen minutes to build up steam power. The steam engine and boiler were separate from the rest of the vehicle and placed in the front (see engraving above). The following year (1770), Cugnot built a steam-powered tricycle that carried four passengers. ? 1881 Alexandru Ciurcu - obtine un brevet din Franta prin care prevede posibilitatea zborului cu reactie. The earliest rockets were almost certainly Chinese—there is little doubt that the Chinese first developed “black powder,” the basic propellant used in rockets. The combination of salt-peter, charcoal, and sulphur was probably used in fireworks by the Chinese centuries before Christ lived, but the only written records available are dated well into the Middle Ages. Mongols besieging the city of Kaifeng in 1232 used arrows propelled by rockets (though primarily as a psychological weapon). Knowledge about rocketry seems to have moved with the Mongol invasions—the Arabs are seen as having developed rockets by the thirteenth century and are reported as having used them against Saint Louis in the Seventh Crusade; the Italians were experimenting with rockets by the fifteenth century. A major refinement in the formula for black powder was made in the thirteenth century by Roger Bacon; this resulted in the creation of gunpowder. All of those people dreamt of sending people to the moon on the tail of a rocket … Even Cyrano de Bergerac (the real one) did that in a poem … Conrad Hass (1551-1579), German, an artillery engineer and chief of arsenal of the town of Sibiu. Hass wrote about the construction and the flight tests of multistage rockets, apparently the earliest writings in existence about the science of rocket engineering. How about that??? ? 1885 Victor Babes - realizeaza primul tratat de bacteriologie din lume. May be correct partially… but Pasteur discovered every single entry from the Babes book…see below. I included some additional date for comparison and scale … The Babes Treaty is a list of the following discoveries … And Pasteur is one of many … 1839: Departure to the Royal College of Besançon 1840: Successful candidate for the literature baccalauréat in Besançon.

Communication on pathogenic microbes and attenuated-virus vaccines at the Copenhagen Congress. Pasteur presents the general principle of vaccinations against virulent diseases. 1885: First anti-rabies vaccination on a human being ? 1886 Alexandru Ciurcu - construieste prima ambarcatiune cu reactie. It’s more complicated, Ciurcu e numai un participant … one of two; also, educated in France. Desire and Victoire Piot (A late eighteenth century French engineer / inventor and the origins of the Vapour Pulse Jet) probably fled France on the out break of the Franco–Prussian war in 1870 finally arriving in London where he tested his first successful pulse jet boats. Desire Piot could well have been inspired by a rocket powered boat developed by Just Buisson and Ciurcu. Not so successful demonstrations of their jet boat on the river Seine in Paris took place from August to December 1886 for the benefit of the French Ministry of Defense. ? 1887 C. I. Istrate - Friedelina si franceinele. Correct!!! ? 1895 D. Hurmuzescu - descopera electroscopul. Jean Antoine Nollet (1700–1770) was a clergyman and physicist. In 1748, Nollet invented one of the first electrometers, the electroscope, which detected the presence of electric charge by using electrostatic attraction and repulsion. Nollet later wrote a theory on electrical attraction and repulsion based on the existence of a continuous flow of electrical matter between charged bodies and became the the first professor of experimental physics at the University of Paris. Many others including George Washington did the same before our guy … 1755 or so … ? 1899 C.I. Istrate - o noua clasa de coloranti. Maybe … ? 1900 Nicolae Teclu - becul cu reglarea curentului electric si gaz. Are you serious??? “Becul de labborator cu reglarea curentului de AER si gaz”; big difference!!! How about Bunsen? Premix (meaning air and gas) burners were the first purpose-designed burners, and they can be traced back more than 100 years to the Bunsen and similar laboratory burners. A premix burner system really consists of two key components, the burner head or nozzle, and the gas-air mixing device that feeds it. In some cases they're built as a single unit. The mixer uses the energy of a pressurized stream of air and/or gas to mix the two and present them to the burner nozzle, which provides an ignition and anchoring point for the flame and controls its shape. ? 1904 Emil Racovita - fondatorul biospeologiei. Absolutely correct!!! ? 1905 Augustin Maior - telefonia multipla. AT&T 1902 … also Bell Laboratoryes … ? 1906, 18.03 - Traian Vuia - avionul cu tren de aterizare pe roti cu pneuri; cu ?Vuia I? acesta reuseste prima decolare fara sa foloseasca nici un mijloc ajutator, numai cu aparate aflate la bord (în fapt, primul avion din istorie). Are you serious? The first powered heavier-than-air flight took place in 1890 (Clement Ader, steam engine on bat-winged monoplane, 60 yards). The Wrights' 1903 flight (300 yards) was the first photographed heavier-than-air flight. [Correction: not quite true; there exist photos of Lilienthal's non-powered heavier-than-air flights in the 1890s.] After the advent of relatively light combustion engines (such as Benz, Otto, Diesel), other pioneers pursued similar approaches, but no photographs were taken by Richard Pearse (New Zealand, March 1903) and Karl Jatho (August 1903). Finally, the Wrights needed headwinds or catapults to start their planes, so they were not fully self-powered. But Brazil's Santos-Dumont was (1906, first official airplane flight). Important stuff: Richard Pearse March 31, 1902. Accounts by witnesses of the flight vary, from "50 to 400 yards in length", but it seems most likely that it was around 350 yards long, and ending prematurely when the flying machine landed in a large hedge - 4 metres off the ground ! The aircraft was the first to use proper ailerons, instead of the inferior wing warping system that the Wright's used. The flying machine also had a modern tricycle type landing gear, thus negating the need for ramps, slides, or skids. Any suitable road would do. The flying machine was aerodynamically crude, for sure, but did the job on the day, and in fact for months afterwards. By the end of July 1903, Pearse had achieved flights of around one kilometre in length, and perhaps even more amazingly, some of them included turns ! An absolutely fantastic achievement for the time. Pearce also built the engine, which was estimated at about 15 - 22hp, but hampered by a much cruder propeller than the Wright's machine. ? 1906 A.A. Beldiman - aparatul hidraulic cu dalta de percutie pentru sondaje adânci. Tough to prove!!! ? 1908 Lazar Edeleanu ? primul procedeu de rafinare a produselor petroliere cu bioxid de sulf din lume, procedeu care ii poarta numele. A good one!!! Oil helped us a lot in the first half of last century. ? 1908 Acad. Nicolaie Vasilescu-Karpen - ?pila Karpen", care functioneaza înca si produce curent electric, neîntrerupt, de aproape 100 de ani! William Grove produced the first fuel cell in 1839 over 150 years ago. He based his experiment on the fact that sending an electric current through water splits the water into its component parts of hydrogen and oxygen. So, Grove tried reversing the reaction - combining hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and water. This is the basis of a simple fuel cell. The term “fuel cell” was coined later in 1889 by Ludwig Mond and Charles Langer, who attempted to build the first practical device using air and industrial coal gas. ? 1910 iunie - Aurel Vlaicu - lanseaza primul avion din lume fuselat aerodinamic. See also Rolland Garos and other Santos-Dumont financed … French aircraft … and … so… on … ? 1910 Tache Brumarescu - masina de taiat sulf. So what? The Austrians have invented the sowing machine before that. So what. The English invented the automated knitting machines before that. So what? ? 1910 Stefan Procopiu - efectul circular al discontinuitatilor de magnetism. Bohr-Procopiu magneton … amazing participation to highly sophisticated physics. An excellent one … ? 1910 Gh. Marinescu - tratamentul paraliziei generale. Close but no cigar! It was alive and well in America before 1900 … ? 1910 Henri Coanda reuseste primul zbor al unui avion cu reactie (fabricatie proprie). Correct!!! First and foremost, it is now being recognized as the first air-reactive engine (jet) aircraft, making its first and only flight October, 1910. ... in Paris (not Romania, of course). ? 1910 Ioan Cantacuzino - ? fenomenul Cantacuzino? (aglutinarea unor microbi). How about this? First experiments with streptococcal agglutination Paul Moser and Bensaude, Le phenomene de l'agglutination des. microbes. Carre, Paris 1897. ... ? 1913-1916 Ioan Cantacuzino - vaccinarea antiholerica (metoda Cantacuzino) Pasteur was known as the father of stereochemistry, but his contributions to microbiology and medicine were greater. Pasteur discovered anaerobic bacteria and two silkworm diseases. It was he who discovered that if you take a microbe that causes a particular disease, for instance, smallpox, and make a weakened form of it, that weakened smallpox microbe can be used to fight off the stronger smallpox microbes. Doctors now inoculate people against all kinds of diseases and, for a time, had almost eradicated smallpox. Pasteur also invented the anthrax vaccine, the cholera vaccine, and the rabies vaccine. He died in 1895. ? 1916 D. Danielopolu - actiunea hipertensiva a digitalei. The man credited with the introduction of digitalis into the practice of medicine was William Withering. Withering was born in Wellington, Shropshire, England in 1741. He followed in the medical footsteps of his father who was an apothecary-surgeon. Withering received his MD degree in 1766. As an individual, William Withering was an extremely giving person. He would personally see and treat two or three thousand poor patients a year limiting him to making about 1000 British pounds as compared to his contemporary doctors who made 5000 British pounds per year. Withering published about 19 articles during his lifetime. After fighting a long battle with tuberculosis, William Withering, the father of digitalis medicine, died on October 6 1799, at the age of 58. ? 1918 Gogu Constantinescu - întemeiaza o noua stiinta: sonicitatea. Correct but not in Romania; in England where he educated himself and become a teacher of physics. Had he stayed in Romania he would have done nothing like most of us … ? 1919 Stefan Procopiu - unitatea elementara de energie magnetica (magnetonul). Same as above, verry good!!! ? 1920 Emil Racovita - pune bazele Institutul de Speologie Cluj (primul din lume). First in the world is tough to prove!!! ? 1920 ing. Gheorghe Botezatu - a calculat traiectoriile posibile Pamânt - Luna, folosite la pregatirea programelor ?Apollo? (al caror parinte a fost sibianul Herman Oberth); el a fost si seful echipei de matematicieni care a lucrat la proiectul rachetei ?Apollo? care a dus primul om pe Luna. About the calculations Earth-Moon you must be kidding. Herman Oberth also started Hitler’s V1 and, by the way, hated Romania and wrote to German leadership to dump Romania as an ally … ? 1921 Aurel Persu - automobilul fara diferential, cu motor în spate (de forma ?picaturii de apa"). Could be but it does not work … ? 1921 Nicolae Paulescu - descopera insulina; pentru ca era un anti-mason virulent, Premiul Nobel l-au primit canadienii F. Banting si J.R.J. McLeod pentru aceasta descoperire? It should already be clear that 1920 comes before 1921 but anyway … there were others also … 1908 German scientist, Georg Zuelzer develops the first injectible pancreatic extract to suppress glycosuria; however, there are extreme side effects to the treatment. 1010-1920 Frederick Madison Allen and Elliot P. Joslin emerge as the two leading diabetes specialists in the United States. 1913 Allen, after three years of diabetes study, publishes Studies Concerning Glycosuria and Diabetes, a book which is significant for the revolution in diabetes therapy that developed from it. 1919 Frederick Allen publishes Total Dietary Regulation in the Treatment of Diabetes, citing exhaustive case records of 76 of the 100 diabetes patients he observed, becomes the director of diabetes research at the Rockefeller Institute. July 1, 1920 Dr. Banting opens his first office in London, Ontario. He receives his first patient on July 29th; his total earnings for his first month of work is $4.00. ? 1921 Stefan Procopiu - Fenomenul Procopiu (depolarizarea luminii). May be … ? 1922 C.Levaditi si Sazevac - bismutul ca agent terapeutic împotriva sifilisului. Bullshit!!! Syphilis was treated with mercury or other ineffective remedies until World War I (1914-1916), when effective treatments based on arsenic or bismuth were introduced. These were succeeded by antibiotics after World War II. ? 1925 Traian Vuia - generatorul de abur cu ardere în camera închisa si cu vaporizare instantanee. Vuia was a great engineer, but when he tried to patent his airplane the Arsenal in Romania threw him out and he had to go to France to find forward looking people to fund his invention … Now we want him! La placinte innainte, la razboi innapoi … ? 1930 Elie Carafoli - avionul cu aripa joasa. Bullshit!!! Zdenek Lhota - Czechoslovakia – 1925 - flew the BH-11 low-wing monoplane. Albert W. (Al) Mooney - chief engineer at Alexander (1928-1929) was responsible for the Bullet, an advanced, high speed, low wing monoplane. With Mooney's patented retractable landing gear, it was a mild sensation and ahead of its time. ? 1933 Henri Coanda - aerodina lenticulara (farfuria zburatoare). ? 1938 Henri Coanda - efectul Coanda. ? 1938 Henri Coanda - discul volant. The Coanda Effect is a real Romanian contribution to the progress of science. All good!!! But again in England, not in Romania. That should tell anyone something … ? 1952 Ia fiinta Institutul National de Geronto-Geriatrie ?Dr. Ana Aslan", primul institut de geriatrie din lume, model pentru tarile dezvoltate, prin asistenta clinica si cercetare. ?Ana Aslan? are, anual, mii de pacienti. A big lie …and a lot of word of mouth phony advertising … Exagerarea contributiei noastre la motorul societatii umane ii face pe unii romani sa creada ca, de buni ce suntem, n-avem nimic de schimbat, iar ceilalti sa ne pupe ... Sarcina celor ce publca e sa corecteze asta. Dan Manoliu Canada azi mi-a cazut o felie de paine pe jos si bineinteles ca a aterizat cu partea unsa pe parchet. mi-am zis:"normal, legile lui murphy!" apoi am incercat sa mai imi amintesc din ele, dar nu am reusit. cine mai stie care sunt?

(la: O conversatie cu DINU LAZAR, fotograf) Philosophy
All over the world, many traditional customs are changing, and some vanishing forever. The aim of this contest is to encourage the recording of traditional customs and the evolution of various folk cultures through the use of photography, and to stimulate international interest in the study, exploration, rescue, preservation, and indeed, enjoyment of our cultural heritage. It is an initiative created out of respect for our common humanity and in a spirit of international good will. Schedule Opening Date: September 1, 2005 Deadline: March 31, 2006 (Entries received after this date will be held over until the next contest.) Jury: Entries will undergo appraisal by an international jury panel formed by nine accomplished photographers and scholars with expertise in the study of culture.

"Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism.... By 'patriotism' I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality. ...It does not necessarily mean loyalty to a government or a country, still less to one's own country.... A nationalist is one who thinks solely, or mainly, in terms of competitive prestige. He may be a positive or a negative nationalist - that is, he may use his mental energy either in boosting or in denigrating - but at any rate his thoughts always turn on victories, defeats, triumphs and humiliations. He sees history, especially contemporary history, as the endless rise and decline of great power units, and every event that happens seems to him a demonstration that his own side is on the upgrade and some hated rival is on the downgrade."

O stiu pana si copii de gradinita numai tu nu.
hai ca m-ai enervat, dar tot raul spre bine, am mai invatat ceva. poate inveti si tu, cu ocazia asta si data viitoare incearca sa nu te mai informezi de la copiii de gradinita. check this out: The American Muslim scholar, Sheik Yusuf Estes, Director of islamtomorrow.com, and National Chaplain WAMY, adds: “The symbol of Islam IS NOT the crescent moon and the star, but it was used by the last Islamic Dynasty, the Ottoman’s. The Ottoman Empire deemed it appropriate to use the star and crescent as their symbols, but not the symbols of Islam. I repeat, the star and the crescent moon are not a part of the religion of Islam. Because Islam is so strict on the concept of no other gods with Allah; and no images of any kind; it is a mistake to consider that Islam authorized the general use of such things. Additionally, Islam forbids the images (statues) of any kinds of humans, animals or any of Allah’s creations, so how about using a symbol for Islam?” luata de aici: http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?pagename=IslamOnline-English-Ask_Scholar/FatwaE/FatwaE&cid=1119503544398

(la: din cugetarile cocosului de tabla!) sau - in cel mai bun caz - sunt "ajustate".
pe net si in spam-uri de email circula tot felul de "citate", vezi-doamne de Murphy... Haiku (俳句, haikai verse?) listen (help·info) (no separate plural form) is a very short form of Japanese poetry typically characterised by three qualities:
The essence of haiku is "cutting" (kiru).[1] This is often represented by the juxtaposition of two images or ideas and a kireji ("cutting word") between them,[2] a kind of verbal punctuation mark which signals the moment of separation and colours the manner in which the juxtaposed elements are related. Traditional haiku consist of 17 on (also known as morae), in three phrases of 5, 7 and 5 on respectively.[3] Any one of the three phrases may end with the kireji.[4] Although haiku are often stated to have 17 syllables,[5] this is inaccurate as syllables and on are not the same. A kigo (seasonal reference), usually drawn from a saijiki, an extensive but defined list of such words. Modern Japanese haiku (現代俳句, gendai-haiku?) are increasingly unlikely to follow the tradition of 17 on or to take nature as their subject, but the use of juxtaposition continues to be honoured in both traditional and modern haiku.[6] There is a common, although relatively recent, perception that the images juxtaposed must be directly observed everyday objects or occurrences.[7] In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed in a single vertical line while haiku in English often appear in three lines to parallel the three phrases of Japanese haiku.

(la: Apasarea pe acceleratie, franare-in-forta si diverse sporturi vestimentare) Nu inteleg foarte bine intrebarea din comentariul tau.
Ce e aia o masina sport ? Ce se poate face cu un Porsche ? Poate fi considerat sport conducerea unei masini ? Mai intai o precizare: se scrie PORSCHE si nu Porche. Porsche este una dintre putinele masini cu adevarat "Sport" care se poate cumpara la mai putin de $150,000 USD. http://www3.porsche.com/english/int/home.htm Prima intrebare: o masina cu doua usi, sau pe care scrie sport sau GT nu este tot aia cu o masina sport. Am vazut Ford Fiesta GT Sport. Asta nu e o masina sport. O masina sport este o masina care poate sa treaca de 250 kmh fara sa sara de pe drum, si fara sa simti ca o sa se desprinda in bucati daca apesi acceleratia un milimetru mai mult. O masina sport nu inseamna o masina comoda, cu aer conditionat si CD player (pentru asta sint limuzinele). Inseamna o masina in care te urci ca sa o conduci si sa simti ca toti caii putere din motor te asculta, si ca masina reactioneaza la cea mai mica miscare din accelerator, frana sau volan. Nu in ultimul rand, din motive de securitate o masina de sport nu se conduce pe drumuri publice - ci pe o pista de curse. A doua intrebare: daca n-ai stat niciodata la volanulul unui Porshe sa-l vezi cum merge, si cum reactioneaza cei approx 230-400 de cai putere (in functie de versiunea masinii) la comenzile tale, nu prea ai cum sa intelegi ce se poate face intr-un Porsche. A treia intrebare: daca n-ai condus un Porsche (sau alta masina 'Sport') pe o pista de curse - la limita superioara a performantelor ei, acolo unde diferenta dintre 296.0 kmh si 296.5 kmh devine enorma, iar sutimea de secunda dureaza o eternitate, nu ai cum sa apreciezi ce este aia auto sport. Asa ca daca vrei sa afli cu adevarat raspunsul, urca-te intr-un Porsche, invarte cheia in contact si calc-o. Dar nu pe drumurile publice, ca aia nu mai e sport ci nebunie. Ci pe o pista de curse. Cand ai sa vezi ca desi acceleratia este apasata la podea, vitezometrul se misca mai incet ca melcul, si ca-ti trebuie 15-20 de secunde sa creasca viteza cu 1 kmh, atunci ai sa stii raspunsurile la toate aceste intrebari. Pentru alte precizari, nu ezita sa intrebi. Peter O'Toole - Becket (si altele)
