		<description>Hello,

I am writing an article about lesbians in Romania in the Hamburg based lesbian magazine &#039;escape&#039; which is a voluntary non-profit magazine. In the search for some pictures for the article I found fotographs on your website

http://romerican.com/2007/06/14/gayfest-2007/

which I would like to use if this is possible. Do you agree? Who has the rights over the fotographs?

I will be very very thankful about your reply,
I am in a little hurry since the deadline for my article is in the middle of this month,

with warm regards and best wishes,

yours
Joelle</description>

		<description>Funny that you quote scripture out of context. Only shows how ignorant you are. Maybe instead of reading every other word and understanding the way it suits you, you should read the whole thing.

It hate to say this about another Romanian but i&#039;m ashamed of you sharing the same birth land as me. Not because you are gay, we all have our sins, and even though being proud of your sin that isn&#039;t what I am talking about, but your hatred toward Orthodox Christianity, toward God and your own people, simply because we don&#039;t support your sin.</description>

		<description>Perhaps you refer to Leviticus 11:7-8 where God is unwavering in his directives toward you.

&lt;quote&gt;Porcul are copita despicatÄƒ ÅŸi despÄƒrÅ£itÄƒ Ã®n douÄƒ, dar nu rumegÄƒ; acesta este necurat pentru voi. Din carnea acestora sÄƒ nu mÃ¢ncaÅ£i ÅŸi de stÃ¢rvurile lor sÄƒ nu vÄƒ atingeÅ£i, cÄƒ acestea sunt necurate pentru voi.&lt;/quote&gt;

Now I see why you must enjoy the taste of your foot.

Obviously, this will become an unproductive conversation that&#039;s best terminated.  But I&#039;ll be the one to break the bad news to you and explain that hatred is not a valid argument.  When you use it, you tend to look really dumb to intelligent and educated people (even if a few ignorant unwashed plebes think you&#039;re cool).

You haven&#039;t read your Bible.  That&#039;s painfully clear. As such, it leaves you desperately ungrounded in your vitriol.  And I would find it cruel to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Therefore, to make your weekend a fascinating experience, I recommend a well-studied and scholarly intellectual such as yourself engage your mind in academically pondering the deep underlying significance and modern relevance of Leviticus&#039; passages -- I&#039;ve handily prepared for you as a user-friendly ClickableLinkescu(tm) -- which outline God&#039;s very strict and detailed commands in relation to the quandry you attempt to bandy about.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://ro.wikisource.org/wiki/Biblia/Vechiul_Testament/Leviticul&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Leviticul - The Book You&#039;ve Never Even Read Once! (sm)&lt;/a&gt;

You are invited to quash any proclivity toward reprisals of asshattery.  Upon successful completion of the reading assignment, please know the resulting lucidity is my gift to you, frate. Noroc!</description>

		<description>Yeah yeah ... &quot;narrow minded idiot&quot; , &quot;he doesn&#039;t know anything about Christianity&quot;, &quot;He&#039;s not a really a patriot&quot; ... etc etc. *YAWN*

As for the homosexuals read the Bible and find out what is installed for them in the future ;) ... let me give you a hint: read the Leviticus ;)
 
&quot; â€œâ€¦the light of the holy cross of Jesus Christ shall always protect our people and land!â€ Hilarious &quot; - you find this being hilarious yank boy? Then move the fuck out you fruit cake!

&quot;One more question: who is this â€œmost of usâ€ you seem to be speaking about? I can barely ever claim to be speaking for me and my friends, people Iâ€™ve known for quite a few years, and that Iâ€™ve shared a lot with - how can you claim to be speaking for a majority of Romanians? Thereâ€™s 22.6 million Romanians, who exactly are you speaking for?&quot; - Well duhhh, the majority of the Romanian people who not only live in Bucharest (like you, I assume) ... ask any person from Cluj-Napoca, Iasi, Craiova, Constanta or Timisoara what they think about homosexuality and their reply will surely be  a statement against the fanny bandits.


*YAWN* You simple narrow minded liberal-democrats are really a laugh, I&#039;m quite amused by your remarks and your statement ... You&#039;re the good guys who want everyone to live in peace with everyone ... Hello, wake up and smell the coffee, it never happened, it doesn&#039;t happen and it will never happen ... but eh, you go on and try to stop &quot;bigotry&quot; LOL</description>

		<description>I have to admit I did think it might be a spoof. But if it is, it&#039;s not over-the-top enough to be obvious to me.</description>

		<description>I agree with Narc that &quot;Romanian Patriot&quot; (who certainly is not a patriot, in modern connotation) clearly has not ever read the Bible, has no understanding of what Jesus said and taught, and basically has no concept of what Christianity is, but rather ignorantly and crudely attempts to use it as some sort of identifying label out of a need to belong to a gang rather than ditch sheep-like groupthink in preference for independent intellectualism.

But I think we may possibly be victims of a spoof here. There&#039;s entirely too much childish and gratuitous use of profanity.  And, most revealing, some of the statements simply defy belief.  I mean, how could you *not* burst out laughing at such over-the-top phrase construction such as:  &quot;...the light of the holy cross of Jesus Christ shall always protect our people and land!&quot;  Hilarious.</description>
