三鷹ルーテル教会で発表したもの。
歴史概観
ハンガリーは西暦1000年、István(イシュトヴァーン)一世の即位でキリスト教の王国になった。そのときからハンガリーの主要な宗教はカトリック風のキリスト教である。20世紀の共産制度までそれに衰退が一回だけあった。それはルーテルに始められた宗教改革のおかげであった。
ルーテルは1517年ドイツのWittenberg(ウィッテンベルグ)で公表された95ヶ条の論題がその時代の信仰生活をだいぶ変化させた。そのたぶん最大な改善は聖書の翻訳であったといえるであろう。ハンガリーにはルーテルの95ヶ条後20年しかたったと、1541年聖書全体の翻訳が出版された。改革が進むと、1560年代はハンガリーのルーテル教会が始まり、evangélikus(エヴァンゲーリクシュ)という。ハンガリーの宗教生活は20世紀まで盛んになってきた。
しかし、20世紀の共産主義や極右独裁制で信者は過酷に迫害され、信者の陣数は非常に少なくなってきた。だが、迫害の中でも、ハンガリーの教会が生き続けた。

Names by Vale
The United States Census Bureau announced that Negro would be included on the 2010 United States Census, alongside
In high school, we often had good laughs about the american way of saying everything Blackand
African-American,because some older Americans still self-identify with the term.
politically correct. Change the name of something, because the old name has too many negative connotations. The only problem is, that until you use that new name for the same thing, or group of people, nothing will change. If that thing or group of people don't change, those
negative connotationswill be back. Quick.
The same goes for the gipsies in Hungary, who have been campaigning to be called roma. I don't have a problem with that, it's their name for themselves in one of their languages. It feels good for me too when someone identifies me as
magyarinstead of
hungarian. But in the case of roma as well, the new word started to gain the old word's negative meanings. And that won't change until there will be no place for negative preconceptions about that social group. (For some reason, jews apparently don't care about their word being used as a swearword…)
Then, celebrations. I've heard about an american idea, that christmas should be called winter holiday instead, because the christian word isn't appropriate for all the various religious holidays of that season. True, but. Christmas as-is has a tradition of at least a thousand years in western culture. And the States has its roots in a christian culture as well, how ever religiously unaligned it wants to be. In the jewish quarters of a big city, i guess i'd not see christmas celebrations. Whatever, long live the christmas creep.
I didn't think it all through, before someone'd want to set me aflame.

The Tokyo Two by Vale
TOKYO, Japan — The United Nations has ruled that the Japanese Government breached international human rights law by detaining two Greenpeace activists who uncovered major corruption in the Japanese whaling programme.
Please read that whole article. It kind of says it all. Two japanase environmental activists were arrested and tried because they uncovered a smuggling of whale meat, theoretically illegal. Apparently not. They intercepted a cardboardbox, which contained stuff it was not supposed to contain: whale meat. The reaction of
justicewas just as expected. In Japan, apparently, they are the criminals, charged with theft and trespass. They are facing trial this monday, where they could be sentenced to up to ten years of prison. Note.
Japanese whaling is carried out under a provision of the International Convention for the Regulation of Whaling of 1946, which allows for the animals to be killed for scientific research and the leftover meat to be
They slaughter the whales for scientific research. Economy is a science, so they could observe how well it sells. Also, gastronomy could be considered a science.

Diszkrimináció by Vale
Két hírre szeretnék itt és most reflektálni, mert nagyon erőteljesen csapta ki a biztosítékot. Anno elég sokat kerestem egy olyan hírportált, ahol nem kell naponta ezerötszáz cikket átnyálazni, csak a lényeges hazai és nemzetközi híreket kapom. Végül meglett, néhány gazdasági Index-feed és a Google News
Először is, hogy Strassburg reklamál, amiért

személyében. Ez utóbbin akadtam a fentebb említett két hírre.
Először is, hogy Strassburg reklamál, amiért
könnyebb fogyatékosgyerekeket speciális osztályba raktak (legalábbis akkor azt mondták rájuk). Megjegyzem, amennyire én tudom, abban az időszakban még nem is volt ennyire szőrszálhasogató a diszkrimináció-mánia. Először is, egy átlag tanárnak nincs képzettsége (szerintem) arra, hogy
könnyebb fogyatékosgyerekekkel boldoguljon – az Isten szerelmére, soknak még a
normálisakis gondot okoznak! Arról meg nem is beszélve, hogy többször hallottam olyanról, hogy fenyegetik a szakértői vizsgálatot végzőket, hogy nyilvánítsák a gyereket debilnek, még ha nem is az – kell a támogatás, ugye… És akkor Strassburg reklamál. Ami kiakaszt, az nem az, hogy a magyarországi ilyen diszkrimináció ellen reklamálnak. Oké, legyen integrált oktatás, adják rá a pénzt. Azt mondjuk nem értem, hogy a fogyatékos miért egyenlő a cigánnyal… Csak mert ő azt úgy szeretné beállítani? Megmosolyogtat. Az viszont nem, hogy valamiért a hírekben nem olvasok arról, hogy az EU hogy megszidja Szlovákiát azért, amit az ottani magyarokkal művel. Az első hír, amiben elmarasztaló külföldi véleményről olvastam, mai, és még csak nem is EU, hanem az amerikai kongresszus ítélné el a szlovák intézkedéseket. Elítélné. Hurrá.

The male chauvinist by Vale
It all started with a video a friend (who's not online right now, and might mind having his/her name published) sent me, with Dick Masterson talking about his philosophy, and i find it really… intriguing that whenever i show it to a girl, the reaction is the same. One tried to tickle me to death. One started her comment with a
When a guy stands up and preaches chauvinism, every woman, intelligent as well as brick stupid, get angry, shout, kill and so on. Now when a woman starts to preach feminism, like two highly attractive women in the Politically Incorrect talk show, intelligent guys at least say
Actually, in the second part of the earlier linked Politially Incorrect video, some intelligent arguments can be found. Carl Jung's anima and animus for example. Michael Moore has the point i wrote about above, of
If someone happened to ask my opinion, i don't care. I don't care about being better in this stereotypical way, i don't place myself higher than others based on their sex (i do place people relative to myself based on my experience and opinions). It's sure nice to hear a guy stand there and say all that stuff, simply because it sounds nice to the male inside. That doesn't mean i think the same, it's just pleasing. Just the way feminists' fights are funny.
nicevulgar sentence in all capitals. I'm not going to details. Still, it made me think.

yeah, you're right. (Then have a nice round in bed and prove the chauvinist theory that way. Joking here.) Of course there are guys who get angry, and smash in the face of that woman.

just nod, just agree.
