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 ?

The word `Jew' is also applied to groups, e.g. the Falashas in Ethiopia, not ethnically related to persons of the main European groups, the Ashkenazim and the Sephardim.

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. The same flaw occurs in part of the new definition enacted by the Israeli Parliament in..1970, according to which a person is a Jew if he or she is the offspring of a Jewish mother or has been converted to the Jewish faith by the Orthodox Rabbinate or by the Rabbis of the Jewish Reform Movement or by the Rabbis of the Jewish Conservative Movement. plural.

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: Romania, lumea a patra si tara pedofililor) Scottsman ca Scottsmanu', da' uite ca a facut cap de afis povestea chiar si la CNN World :) Macar isi mai aduc aminte ca exista Romania... chiar daca doar legat de povestea (ne)amoroasa a unor minori(tati).
http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/europe/09/30/romanian.gypsy.ap/index.html Enjoy paine si circ! Se intreaba cineva cate fete rroma se marita la 12 ani, sunt batute crunt sau chiar omorate de parinti pt. ca fug de mirele care le-a fost "sortit" de familie cand inca de abia ziceau "mama" (asa cum a facut si Mrs. Cioaba - actual Birita), sunt obligate sa traiasca viata pe care o traiesc, chiar daca ele au vise mai inalte etc., etc.?... Nimanui nu ii pasa de toti ceilalti, ci doar de cateva VIPuri in jurul carora se invart cu camerele si microfoanele si carnetelele de notite. De parca toata viata tuturor s-ar agata de firul subtire impletit de stelele de carton romanesti. Si nu ma refer doar la regi si imparati, ci si la "cartoanele" de la TV, radio, presa in general. Cum ajunge cate unu sa isi puna fatza "pe sticla", e declarat vedeta si i se face statuie. Dar de fapt care e "point-ul" meu in toata povestea asta, ...ca m-am pierdut?

(la: de ce atat de putini romani citesc ziare?) Good Point (!), la cateva mile de Funeral Hills si cu vedere la Death Valley, pentru sublinierea atmosferei generale... (: (http://www.americansouthwest.net/california/death_valley/zabriskie_point.html).
Raspunsurile posibile/simultane, pe care le stim cu totii, sunt: -cozile din '90 au fost expresia incantarii vremelnice in fata unui lucru nou (libertatea presei) si au avut ca obiect mai putin publicatiile de substanta (rare, e-adevarat) si mai mult ziarele de scandal. -potentiala audienta pentru ziare de informare obiectiva si de analiza, deja redusa, nu a facut decat sa se subtieze: prin emigrare masiva si prin frustrare cotidiana => neputinta => "la ce bun?". -majoritatea ziarele care au supravietuit fiind nevoite sa functioneze SI dupa criterii economice, au ales sa functioneze EXCLUSIV dupa aceste criterii, favorizand senzationalul ieftin, substantei. -au fost rare (a fost, de fapt, vreunul?) ziarele ne-partinice, prin urmare adevaratii intelectuali (principalii "consumatori", de fapt, in Romania pre si post'89) s-au scarbit repejor, ei fiind in continuare putin inclinati sa "adere". -si mai ales, dar mai ales, romanul mediu evita presa deoarece nu vede in informare o solutie la problemele vietii cotidiene iar "politicul si socialul" ii accentueaza gustul de cenuse care i-a cotropit simtirile si papilele in mod cronic. Sau poate ma insel...
Presa ticalosita

(la: de ce atat de putini romani citesc ziare?) Da, fara indoiala ca astea sunt parte dintre raspunsuri.
In plus, sunt prea multe, mult prea multe ziare. Uite, ma uit la revista presei si vad prezentate acolo, alaturi de ziarele care fac eforturi sa ofere, macar din cand in cand, si substanta, tot felul de gazetute cu tiraje de 5-6.000 de exemplare care-si spun “ziare nationale”. E o moda ca fiecare om de afaceri mai rasarit sa-si faca ziar sau sa finanteze unul din umbra. Presa e un instrument de negociere politica. Daca ai un ziar ti se poate face loc pe o lista pentru parlament, poti obtine contracte, poti manevra etc. Ce vede cumparatorul pe taraba? Vreo 20 de cotidiene de informatie generala editate in Bucuresti (auzisem zilele trecute ca in toata Austria sunt 20 de cotidiene). Cel care nu cumpara in mod obisnuit presa e naucit. Alege la intimplare isi da seama ca a aruncat banii aiurea. Dar mai cred ceva – ca presa s-a ticalosit, iar oamenii simt asta, chiar daca nu au acces in culisele. Cele 300 - 400 de cotidiene din Romania nu pot supravietui decat cu publicitate – iar clientii de publicitate au aflat repede ce putere au. Ziarele fara scrupule isi santajeaza clientii, ziarele mai decente le fac concesii, publica articole “caldute”, inchid ochii. Sunt putine care incearca sa se mentina si altfel pe linia de plutire – si nu se mai aud in zarva publicistica din Romania. Ei bine, cititorii nu sunt prosti. Presa produce o singura “marfa”, si marfa aia e credibilitatea. Iar credibilitatea e fragila, se castiga in ani si se pierde repede, toata odata. E grav. Ziaristii invata ticalosia si compromisul de la sefii lor si de la patroni, care acum domina deciziile editoriale. Vor trebui sa treaca vreo 30 de ani pana cand vor scapa de metehnele astea. Da, Zabriskie Point. Am vazut filmul demult tare, ar trebui sa-l caut. Acum c-o analizaram si-o rasuciram finutz pe toate fetzele, ce-i de facut?
What's the Point, Mr. Antognoni? Vor scapa de toate metehnele in 30 de ani, ziceai? Cat optimism!! "Pe ce te bazezi?" - vorba lui Preda...Si daca da, de ce si in ce fel? Stiind ca "metehnele" sunt varful unei piramide a carei baze se tot pun de la infrangerea lui Cantemir? Si tot mai acatarii, tot mai mult si tot mai de curand mai mult... Si iar intreb, deoarece se pare c-am pe cine: ce-i de facut? Ci hai sa facem! Uite, de-gzemplu (!) nea' RACOVITAN, fara sa-ntrebe, a facut un lucru mare: si multumita lui, putem deja vorbi-ntre noi. Ai vreo idee spre-o solutie? Eu nu, ca-s puturos si-s numai bun de gura si de aburi, zice lumea. Dar daca ai, iesi pe felie si-om sari, cativa. Pot sa-mi dau si eu cu parerea. Cind am plecat in vara in '89, securitatea era dupa mine. Poate ca de-aia am plecat, dar, daca nu esti speriat de un mesaj lung (scuze), citeste mai departe:
realitatea din Romania nu era pe placul meu bineinteles ca am vrut sa gasesc un trai mai bun, incluzind aspectul financiar, de libertate, samd nu am ales calea cea mai usoara; am trecut doua granite ilegal si am ajuns in Austria dupa 4 zile (slabit 5Kg); a fost riscant si un tur de forta in punctul de vedere al vointei patriotism? HA-HA-HA! Dirigintele in liceu m-a scos in fata clasei si m-a batjocorit: cum imi permit sa spun ca salariile in Canada sint mai mari decit in Romania! -- ca Romania mama ma hraneste cu piine si.. altele (zicea el). Faptul ca ma face mindru sa ma identific cu Decebal, Eminescu, Enescu, Iorga, samd, se poate numi patriotism? Cind intilnesc romani care sint: mindri, dar nu aroganti, modesti, dar nu ca un sclav, silitori, dar nu fraieri, isteti, dar nu care pretind ca toti altii sint prosti, prietenosi, sinceri, samd, atunci mi se incalzeste inima, si ma bucur. Dar sint putini asa. renuntat la supravietuire? Hmmm, let's see; am plecat CA SA supravietuiesc! Ca cine stie ce-mi facea securitatea daca ma gasea acasa. Am citit comentariile scrise de altii. Cu respect as vrea sa spun ca cei care sint in Rom. si nu au trait citiva ani buni in alta tara, nu cred ca au un punct de vedere realistic. Domnului din Canada (care angajeaza studenti romani): acesta este un roman care imi inspira respect. Se vede ca el a inteles viata de aici. Domnului care zice ca americanii nu sint prea inteligenti in comparatie cu romanii. Imi vine sa rid -- aceasta propozitie ne spune ca poate dumneata nu te invirti intr-o societate de americani inteligenti. Oamenii peste tot au prosti si destepti, nu conteaza ce nationalitate sint. Am intilnit o romanca care preda matematica in universitate aici si-mi spune ca a avut o eleva romanca care nu a luat nota mare la lucrare; si ca ne face neamul de ris! Vai de noi, daca romani cu doctorat gindesc asa. My point este ca poti sa ai o groaza de educatie, asta nu inseamna ca stii multe despre viata, si in mod definitiv nu iti da dreptul sa ii consideri pe altii inferiori si sa-i rapesti de umanitatea lor, si de dreptul de a fi respectat, de a-ti trai viata in cel mai bun fel posibil. Intilnesc prosti si destepti tot timpul (americani, canadieni, romani, etc.). Nu conteaza; toti sint oameni. Incerc sa-i inteleg. Poate pot sa-i si ajut. Sau poate ei pot sa ma ajute. De ce nu? Un tip care a fost scolit MIT si a avut un IQ pina la tavan a avut accident de masina care i-a crapat craniul. Cind si-a revenit din operatii, IQ-ul lui era sub pragul usii. Sper sa nu se intilneasca cu un roman din ala, care o sa-l considere prost, incuiat... Fiind aici de citiva ani si incercind foarte serios sa ma incadrez in societatea asta, am realizat ca majoritatea oamenilor de alte nationalitati tin unii la altii. Se angajeaza unii pe altii, se ajuta, si nu prea au fumuri. Cei mai multi (88%) romani pe care ii intilnesc aici si sint noi in tara, sint ingimfati, aroganti, si nu le place nimic. Fiindca viata mea se cam desfasoara intr-un dept. de informatica in universitate, intilnesc de multe ori romani studenti. Cind vin prima data aud: "canadienii astia sint prosti de tot", "cursurile astea sint usoare, sa vezi ce studii serioase faceam eu la Timisoara/Bucuresti/Iasi", "studentii astia de masterat/doctorat fac niste comentarii asa de timpite in ore ca ma mir ca au fost acceptati in scoala", samd. De obicei le spun: "e bine ca tu deja te-ai orientat fiind aici numai de 2 saptamini; totusi, e posibil ca te inseli?". Apoi ii intilnesc pe la sfirsitul semestrului si-aud: "aoleu, ca ma omoara astia cu munca!" Afara de universitate aud des: "Canada e imputita -- oamenii de la birou sint parsivi/nu e istorie/viteza maxima pe autostrada e 100Km/h/oamenii sint prost imbracati/barbatii/femeile sint obeze/fructele nu au nici un gust/benzina e proasta/masinile americane sint de rahat/samd! Europa era faina de tot!" Le spun: "de ce nu te intorci in Germania/Austria/Franta?" "Ah, nu, ca nu e convenient!" Fiindca am fost un an jumate in Austria, intr-un fel ii inteleg. Dar, fiecare tara are avantaje si dezavantaje. Tara perfecta, din pacate, nu exista, pentru ca noi, umanitatea, nu sintem perfecti! Asa ca adapteaza-te, incearca sa fi fericit cu ce ai, sau daca nu poti, atunci "move on". Nu te mai vaita, ca le faci si viata altora mizerabila. Dar, fiind o tara libera, vaita-te daca chiar vrei, dar nu e sanatos. Get the idea? Mai sint multe exemple, care pur si simplu arata mentalitatea multora care vin din Rom., de curind, sau de mai de mult dar refuza sa invete ceva despre viata din afara Romaniei. Mentalitatea oamenilor a fost unul din motivele mele principale de a fugi din Romania. Si mentalitatea unei natiuni este cel mai greu lucru de schimbat. Daca as deveni miliardar peste noapte nu m-as intoarce in Romania. E ca si cind ai fi avut o mama care te-a batut si nu ti-a dat de mincare cind erai mic, te-a tinut in casa tot timpul si n-ai putut sa te joci afara, nu ti-a dat bani sau jucarii, nu te-a lasat sa te uiti la TV decit putin, si, cel mai important, ti-a promis ca toata viata ta o sa fie asa. Si-apoi, dupa ce ai fugit la o mama vitrega, care nu numai ca te-a lasat sa-ti refaci viata, dar si te-a sprijinit, cu sperante si bucurii, cu sfaturi bune, cu ocazia de a face prieteni care te vor ajuta, te-a iubit, te intreb eu: o iubesti pa mama ta naturala? De ce nu te intorci la ea? Ceea ce se petrece la un nivel micro, de obicei se petrece si la nivel macro. Singele apa nu se face? Poate ca nu. Dar nu o sa refuz o transfuzie daca ma salveaza de pe patul de moarte. In societatiile mai dezvoltate copii abuzati de parinti sint luati si dati la alte familii. Cind imi aduc aminte de unii prieteni de-ai mei si cum erau batuti (cu curele, cu bat, cu de toate) cu vinatai si vai de capul lor, si cum societatea pur si simplu era de acord, ma bucur ca nu mai sint acolo. Da, inteleg ca lucrurile s-au schimbat; poate. Ca sa inchei, spun ca da, mi-e dor citeodata de blocul unde am crescut, de dealurile pe care m-am jucat, samd. Dar poate ca este numai nostalgie de copilarie. N-am fost in Rom. din '90. Dar inca am citeodata cosmaruri ca m-am dus in vizita si cumva, nu ma mai pot intoarce in Canada. Cind ma trezesc, rasuflu usurat -- "thank God it was just a dream!" Oh boy, o discutie despre homosexuali intre romani? Si ramine intre limite decente? I'm impressed.
Hai sa-mi dau si eu cu parerea. Crescind macho in Ro, bineinteles am avut parerea omului de rind cind era vorba de "gay." Apoi, cresti in virsta, mai inveti ceva despre oameni, mai cunosti pe careva care dupa vreo doi ani ti se spune ca e homosexual... si-ti schimbi parerea, daca ai un pic de umanitate ramasa in tine. Cel putin mi s-a intimplat mie. Raspunsul #1 care mi s-a dat de catre romani pe acest subiect a fost: boala. Dictionarul Oxford zice: boala este o stare a corpului, sau a parte din corp, in care functia ei normala este deranjata... in special cind este o schimbare a structurii (translatia mea). Pai cind zicem ca homosexualii (HOS) sint bolnavi, care parte a corpului lor nu mai are functia normala. Se pare ca acea parte a corpului care este cel mai mult sub reflector functioneaza mai tare decit altora multi dintre noi, heterosexualii (HES). Vorbesc de partea de sub centura. Daca vorbim despre partea din craniu, adica creierul, atunci trebuie sa fim atenti. Este problema psihologica, sau neurologica? Acum citiva ani a fost peste tot in "news" ca HOS au un creier diferit decit HES, si se vede concret in CAT scans si MRI. Aha! Deci aici e partea din corp careia i s-a schimbat structura. Apoi intrebarea vine: cu structura asta schimbata, creierul nu mai functioneaza normal? Oxford English Dictionary: normal -- ceea ce se conforma, nu este diferit, de tipul, standardul comun, folosit in mod regular (din nou translatia mea a rubricii 2). Deci in ce fel creierul lor nu functioneaza normal? Am locuit in Toronto vreo 5 ani intr-o zona "trendy" unde tot felul de artisti, avocati, tipi din industria de cinema locuiau. Mergeam cu ciinele la plimbarea zilnica seara in parcul de linga casa, si bineinteles intilnesti pe altii cu ciini. Mai vorbesti, despre ciini si vreme la inceput, si apoi incepi sa-ti faci cunostiinte, si vorbesti despre tot felul de alte chestii. Dupa un timp ti se spune (asa intr-o doara) ca Jack este gay. Are 70 ani, si locuieste cu un tip de 35. Hmmm, ma gindesc, dupa comportarea lui n-as fi ghicit niciodata. Tipul era extra-cult. Foarte tolerant. Niciodata o aluzie la sexualitate. Inalt, sanatos, manierat, "very english." Mie personal mi s-a parut ca creierul lui functiona in toate categoriile care sint importante mai bine decit multi heterosexuali pe care i-am intilnit in viata mea (badarani, idioti, golani care au luat fete tinere cu japca, etc.). Pur si simplu un om decent, din toate punctele de vedere. Ce face el in dormitor? None of my business! What's my point? Nu cred ca sintem inca echipati cu cunostiintele necesare sa judecam ca altii sint bolnavi si anormali. Poate in vreo 2 sute de ani... cind codul genetic este decodificat. Celor care spun ca homosexualitatea e impotriva naturii. Pai, din punctul de vedere al "homo sapiens" poate ca e adevarat. Dar ati citit vreodata Biblia Porcului? In care porcul spune ca omul este dusmanul lui ca il taie de craciun? Si ca e impotriva naturii porcului ca omul sa procreeze? Si, deci, din punctul de vedere al porcului (si al altor animale care sint parte din natura noastra) homosexualii sint mai normali, ca nu procreeaza, nu? Ma abtin sa raspund celor credinciosi. Va respect credinta! Dar nu va e teama ca Biblia a fost scrisa de un rauvoitor? Hei, e posibil. Cind vine Isus, daca zice: "Pai nu v-ati dat seama ca era propaganda diavolului?" No proof whatsoever. Si-acum sa inchei cu o gluma proasta: de ce ne cheama pe noi "homo sapiens" si nu "hetero sapiens" daca normalul e sa nu fii "gay?" Numai bine si sanatate la toti, fara cont de culoarea pielii, IQ, orientare sexuala, religie, numar la pantofi, dinti de aur, tara de bastina, stare civila, stare mintala, orientare politica, lungimea parului, limba materna, ...
