Your opinion of romanians

Rogeroo a scris:

What did you say?

Hi Rogero.

I am Valka from Romania. I understood that you are an English person.

I am curious. I don't want to hurt your fillings.

Did you learn in your schools about the history of the Eastern European countries? I was very surprised that most of the Brits doesn't know much about Eastern Europe and I was wondering that this might be because of the fact in the school, children are not taught about the Eastern Europe. Is it true?

And most of the Brits thought that Romanians are gypsy. Is it something related to ignorance or to the believe that the UK is very great and the only one in the world were everything it's going very well? Is it something related to the past? to the UK history? many territories occupied by UK, the grandomany that comes from this? Cultivated over the centuries, remained in the blood of the next generations? I thought UK it's a very developed country from all point of views and I was disappointed to find another kind of UK. I think something it's happening in UK. I understood that now 5 years ago, within UK, the racism wasn't so big then nowadays. Why do you think it's happening? What's happening in the UK from your point of view?

What do you think about Romania in case you visited it. What do you think about other countries you visited in comparison with your country?

i live in UK, but always this newspaper, the times, has something with romanians... i think no one believe their articles anymore...

Hi.

You say you live in the UK. How do you find UK?

in comparison to Romania, Romania's culture, traditions, way of being, thinking, solving the problems, way of spending time, clothes and shoes and food you can find in the UK?

What's your general opinion about UK?

I really have no idea about what history is taught in english schools. It was such a long long time ago since I was at school and only have a vague memory of history lessons.

You would have to find a young person who is studying history to answer that question :D Or a teacher i guess!

Romanian people are pretty cool... they havent complex and stuffs like that. And THE ROMANIAN GIRLS... Goddammit. LOL! ;)

This is why Scotland needs independence; these racist English c***s are embarassing us. It's England and England alone that feels this way, although their knowledge of Eastern Europe and especially Romania is very limited. The Polish didn't help either, since they came here in very large numbers and spread the word about Romanians being thieves, whores or beggars. I remember "The Sun" had a hateful campain before 2007. I love Canadian people myself, they're sound as f**k, but hey, what about their policy regarding Brits emigrating to Canada...? And by the way... was this article aimed at intellectuals or just their average bums living on the dole and going on Jeremy Kyle, and complaining about being unemployed and the immigrants getting their jobs, when in fact they just won't get up off their arses...?

Your point being?

Go to Iran

First of all i don't see what a country like Iran has to do with the subject of this topic and secondly i thought you might want to know that Iran is a country where the majority of it's population (around 70%) is under 30 and well educated.

The three words that you used to describe iranian people,can be applied to all kinds of nationalities including your own.

Rogeroo a scris:

They just should have said 'Eastern European' and 'North American', and not Romanian and Canadian. The article was not meant to be about Romanians at all and the writer should not have used any one nationality as an example.

Reading the whole article in context it's fine (except the romanian example) and makes an interesting point. One newspaper does not reflect the whole country!

Honestly,give me a break,I'm sick and tired of hearing and reading about romanians so revolted and inflamed if anybody in this whole wide world dare say something bad or unflattering about them as a nation or as a culture,mean while a lot of them look down upon,gossip about and despise other nationalities to whom they thing they are superior.Oh please...

Stop apologizing for the way that article was written.

How about you responding today to a comment made in 2007 - what this is telling about your kind and gently nature ....searching for a religious fight with any opportunity ?

We are romanians -over 90 % of us share a single religion - and as such please spare us your misguided efforts to promote the green flag cause.

Go elsewhere !

Just to prove again my suggestion : you are not one of us and I can see you are declaring youself as being sick and tired - please spare yourself (and us) - go to other Forums where you DO BELONG

but they have that stupid argument that we fought for hitler. we did no such thing. we were never nazis and we always fought for our country and nothing more. that reference to romanians is an insult to us. should we dig up all the horrible deeds of the brittish empire and throw it in their face. would that be fair?

Maybe the fact that Romania had committed in the WWII to fight along the germans, the greatest number of armed forces,second only to Nazi Germany itself...escapes you.

"Romania provided equipment and oil to Nazi Germany as well as more troops than all the other Axis powers combined during Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union.Romanian forces were responsible for the persecution and massacre of hundreds of thousands of Jews inside and outside of Romania.

The Romanian contribution of troops was enormous. The total number of troops involved in the Romanian Third Army and the Romanian Fourth Army was second only to Nazi Germany itself. The number of Romanian troops sent to fight in Russia exceeded that of all of Germany's other allies combined."

And again - what does a person of such a noble babilonian extraction like yours (in more ways than one that is :P ) is doing here mixing with romanian "barbarians" ?

Just go - and let us alone

Mister,if you had paid attention you wouldn't have missed the fact that that it was not me who brought into discussion a country which has nothing to do with this topic.Do you really think that I will stand by and say nothing when a countryman of yours says derogatory things about another nation while being revolted that somebody else is offending his? A bit hypocritical on his part I would say.

And we are not talking about religion here,i never mentioned anything about religion,unlike you who had to bring religion into the conversation.I was talking about literacy,population and principles NOT RELIGION so don't put words in my mouth. Are you obsessed with chasing me all over the forum,never missing an opportunity to spit in my face the fact I'm religious. Mind your own business dude.God knows you busted my chops enough in the past with this subject.What a F nuisance you are,seriously.

Who is sick of his nation, is sick of his family, also. But, maybe you're not romanian.
