Asta e raspunsul care il primesti de la tot mai multi romani care se uita din cand in cand la televizor sau deschid un ziar…  E raspunsul pe care l-am primit de la multi prieteni si cunostiinte.

De ce ? Pentru ca lupta politica de acum e mai mult decat murdara.

Nu mai vorbeste nimeni de programul lui politic, de ce anume o sa faca pentru tara.

Candidatii nu fac decat sa acuze, fara argumente, sa loveasca sub centura,  transformand aceasta campanie intr-o lupta in mocirla intre 2 creaturi prea murdare acum in ochii nostrii ca sa merite sa ne conduca tara.

Pe de o parte Geoana, cu ai lui Patriciu, Vantu , Voiculescu si cu trusturile lor media profita de orice mijloc sa il acuze pe Basescu. Filmul cu lovirea copilului, trucat sau nu, a fost difuzat in bucla la televiziunile lor incat nu mai conteaza ca e fals sau nu. Deja e in mintile tuturor … in curand o sa apara si un cuvant in dictionar care sa descrie fenomenul “presedintele loveste un copil, adevarat sau fals” .

Basescu raspunde si el cu argumentele lui clasice -  ca Geoana e marioneta “mogulilor”. Se prea poate(Geoana nici nu se sinchiseste sa mai nege)

E o lupta scarboasa, o lupta de gherila, o lupta in mocirla. Suntem asa de scarbiti incat nimeni nu mai vrea sa mearga la vot … “Nu am pe cine alege, intre 2 rele”.

Cam asa a fost in 2002 in Franta, cand au ajuns in turul final “Le Pen”, un extremist de dreapta, si Jaques Chirac, presedintele de stanga foarte nepopular al Frantei pe vremea aceea.  Pusi sa aleaga intre 2 rele,  francezii nu au mai ezitat in turul 2, au ales raul cel mai mic(Chirac) cu 84%.

Sper ca toti acei romani care se gandesc sa nu voteze in turul 2 pentru ca li se pare ca nici unul din candidati nu merita … sa se gandeasca ca totusi unul din cei doi e un “rau” mai mare … si apoi poate sa isi foloseasca votul …

 

In urma cu 2 ani scriam despre cozile in Paris de la referendumul pentru demiterea lui Basescu(2007). Si aratam fotografii cu multimi de oameni asteptand sa voteze in fata ambasadei, spuneam ca e nevoie de mai multe stampile si cabine de vot , credeam ca ceva se va schimba la urmatoarele alegeri datorita remarcilor noastre.

Si au venit acum alegerile pentru prezidentiale 2009(turul 1).

Ce avem la sectia de votare din Paris : ca si in 2007, 6 stampile cu mentiunea votat, din care una trimisa rupta.

Ce mai observam la Paris – cozi enorme – am ajuns la 12.10 la Ambasada, am plecat la 15.30 – 3 ore si jumatate de asteptat. La plecare m-am uitat inca o data inapoi – coada devenise deja mai lunga decat atunci cand am ajuns.

Am numarat cati oameni asteptau  inaintea mea – 360 . Si foarte multi din oamenii care au vrut sa voteze , au intrebat de cat timp asteptam si au zis … poate votam data viitoare, nu pot sa astept 4 ore in ploaie.

In imagini se vede o coada in interiorul ambasadei ce se continua pe strada principala, si coteste apoi pe o straduta laturalnica. Oare se vad asa cozi in Romania la sectiile de votare ?

…dupa colt

in curtea ambasadei

pe strada principala

Legal, avem dreptul sa votam. Iar noi incercam sa obtinem acest drept al nostru ? Cum ? Un pas este aceasta petitie in care cerem sa se organizeze  mai multe sectii de votare la Paris ( sau macar sa se trimita mai multe stampile de vot). Daca ai domiciliul Temporar in Franta si vrei ca opinia ta sa conteze, voteaza pentru aceasta petitie. Poate, poate o sa avem 7 stampile de vot la votul din turul 2 … 4000 de oameni ar putea vota in loc de 3500… ar fi o ameliorare.

First refferences of Roma people appear in Romanian teritory around 15 cetury. A big part of them were slaves in Romania before the abolition on the slavery between 1833 and 1854( the movement movement to abolish slavery was a gradual process with first important movements at the end of the 18th century, which ended in England and France around 1848, and in US in 1865).

And this wdnesdqy (26 august 2009) Madonna had a concert in Bucarest. 60000 people assisted. And she tried to launch a tolerance message . The crowd responded in a shamefull way … they booooed her. Why ? They her message as a reproach … as she was accusing them of being racist. Well, just a part of the crowd responded by boooing …. let’s say 20%. But this is enough. Because this is the answer of somebody who doesn’t accept criticism and his guilt.

As a Romanian I know very well what’s happening in romania. At least 10 to  20% don’t like Romas. Why ? There are multiple answers, some more motivated (“i’ve been robbed 2 times by romas”), but the vast majority just because they have been thought by their parents or their friends that Romas are more often prone to stealing and robery.

I happend to see some otherwise very educated and usually nice persons who manifested straghtforward adversty towards Romas. Imagine that i have friends with high moral standards, except for the Roms. I asked them, how they can be fair in most cases, but totaly hate the roms. And they said they know it’s not right, but that tehy cannont help it : they had been educated from young age  to think that and they don’t want , or cannot change.

So a part of the romanians are racist toward Romas. And they don’t accept that. And the are offended that they are called racists.

Well, there is an important  part of the romanians which are nont racist(i hope that more than 90%. But this part never stand out, they won’t boo when acused of racism, so you’ll never notice them.

I hope that better education will get this 90% to 100% … and soon.

So … as a romanian who lives between foreigners, I have to say that I’m amazed about the myth created about my pour country . So, for my friends, I summarize the answer to the questions I have to answer each day:

Q: Are there cars in Romania ?	YES !!! (even roads – made 2000 years ago by the romans)
Q: All romanian people are Vampires?	NO !!! (just a small part)
Q: The capital city is Budapest ?	NO !!! (Bucarest, please !!!)

After seeing the oficial medal standings on the 2008 Olympic Games site , I was curious to see how the European Union stands out in the world of sports. So I summed the results for the countries in EU and I was very happy to see that EU comes in first place, by far.

Medal Standings					Total
1	EU	94	106	107	307
2	CHN	51	21	28	100
3	USA	36	38	36	110
4	RUS	23	21	28	72
5	GBR	19	13	15	47

Also, looking at a comparaison of GDP around the world(CIA World Factbook), I see that EU is starting to be the super-power we tried to create. A super-power that act very slow(because of the time needed to get the consensus of their components governements), but when is acting, is almost sure to make the best decision(or the best compromise). Between so many il tempered super-powers( US, China, Russia) , the European Union is like a calm mediator.

Rank	Country	GDP (purchasing power parity)	Date of Information
1	World	$ 65,610,000,000,000	2007 est.
2	European Union	$ 14,380,000,000,000	2007 est.
3	United States	$ 13,840,000,000,000	2007 est.
4	China	$ 6,991,000,000,000	2007 est.
5	Japan	$ 4,290,000,000,000	2007 est.

I hope that this union of countries will become a strong source of stability and prosperity in this so agitated and troubled world.

Am I nationalist if I say that I’m proud to be a citizen of the European Union ?

Din punctul meu de vedere, CORUPTIA este cea mai mare problema din dulcea noastra Romanie la momentul de fata.
Odata starpita coruptia, Romania ar putea sa progreseze economic foarte rapid, si s-ar reduce diferentele sociale intre clase. Un impact pozitiv s-ar propaga in toate domeniile – economic, social, politic, cultural.

 Ieri dupa amiaza pe bulevardul Kiseleff a fost accidentata mortal o studenta la nici 2 metri de 3 politisti care dirijau traficul!

Politistii nici nu s-au oprit din dirijat ( trecea o coloana oficiala, vezi domne ! ) .

Vezi video mai jos .
Vorbeste si scrie despre asta ! Ar fi pacat sa fie ascunse din nou astfel de cazuti .

Femeia care a accidentat-o (prezenta si in clipul de mai jos) , se numeste Anamaria Strauss,  un influent om de afaceri.

Throughout the holiday quarter, Sony Computer Entertainment managed to sell an estimated 4.9 million PlayStation 3 console worldwide. Despite strong sales of the company’s latest console, Sony cut its sales PS3 target for fiscal year from 11 million to 9.5 million units.

Microsoft was able to sell 4.3 million Xbox 360 units during the fourth calendar quarter 2007 (fiscal Q2 2008). The number is slightly down from 4.4 million units the company sold during the Christmas season of 2007. Unit sales for the first six months of Microsoft’s fiscal year 2008 came in at 6.1 million, up from 5.4 million in H1 FY2007.

Nintendo employees will be throwing down tonight and waking up the next morning hungover, after receiving the news that they have sold 7.09 million units worldwide, and are hot on Bill Gates tail as they close in on the Xbox 360.

So 4.9milion PS3, 4.3 million XBOX 360 , and  7,09milion Wii .

If this trend continues, I see very good times for PS3, who managed to rise from small sales in 2006-2007.
