I am a sometime surveyor of this list and am astounded at the increasing
level of animosity from Mr. Kanala towards Mr. Frajkor.  This last post
amounts to a personal attack, has crossed a line of decency.  It does
not have any relevance to the spirit of this list, and Mr. Kanala, you
seem amazingly unconcerned about this fact.

If the idea of picking apart Mr. Frajkor's credentials was to convince
others that your arguments about Slovak history are more sound, it is
nothing but an ad hominum attack anyway.  True scholars would laugh at
you.

Perhaps, Mr. Kanala, you would be happier if you took a break from all
this talk, made yourself a tea, and watched some TV or listened to some
nice music.  Too much bile is bad for a person's health.

Pan Doktor Zapletal,

Are you sure degrees are necessary to have the right to speak and to be trusted
?
We have here in our government many ministers who did so much studies they are
so proud of they are unable to do anything. Another prime minister 4 years ago
only had o-levels, and was much more aware of the needs of ordinary people.

In general there has been a terrible atmosphere on this newsgroup for a month,
a place for exchange has turn to a place for fight.
A first thing studies ought to teach is a bit of humility, and I often ask
myself why people keep on replying on the same subject which is obviously not
going to end anywhere.
If one day all these people fancy meeting at a cafe in Blava to have a
real-world discussion, it will be funny. Tell me, I'll turn up (and listen
only, not being qualified to speak, because my PhD is only half-way through.)

+ - Mr. Frajkor & racist messages on "his" list (mind) VÁLASZ  Feladó: (cikkei)

It's now for the third time that Mr. Frajkor has innocently asked
for concrete examples of racist hate messages on "his" list.

This one has been written more than a week ago. There were indignated
replies, no reaction from Mr. Frajkor, listowner. A gentleman who
protested got an extremely vulgar response from the Bachelor Szurek,
scholar character as if coming from a midnight lady on the pavement.

Mr. Frajkor, listowner, did not react to the first message, despite
the hate character and clear anti-semite connotation.

However, Mr. Frajkor has once again publicly appreciated Ms. Szurek's
performance and her efficiency in fighting the enemy, all decency aside.
This is a standard feature in accross the Mr. Frajkor's listowner record
and more about this topic will be brought to Slovak-L list.

Mr. Frajkor is running a racist and national hate spreading mailing list
using the listserver at the Buffalo University, NY. He is contributing
using the computer equipment of the Carleton University and putting the
University name into the signature, giving to his contributions an official
character.

Are the expressions of anti-semitism, extreme nationalism and hatred
really the official policy at the Carleton University ?

You still did not get my caution. What I was concerned with is your use of
"Slovaks" and "Romanians" rather than the governments of those countries.
There are many Slovaks and Romanians who are not endorsing any disrimantory
practices of their governments.
I do not think it is appropriate to claim that the Hungarian government
caved in to "Slovaks" and "Romanians". It may have caved in to the
Slovakian and Romanian governments.

What is your suggestion for the curing of madcow disease?  Prayer?
>>>
Yes! In fact Matthew Cragoe, sr. lecturer of British History, univ.. of
Herefordshire said:
Cattles plagues in this country are nothing new. Exactly 130 years ago, in
the early months of 1866, the nation was gripped by panic as rinderpost
[cattle plague] cut a deadly swathe through the kingdom/s horned
population. Within eight months, three times as many cattle had died from
the disease as did all of the human beings claimed by the cholera
outbreak the same time.....
The cattle plague was interpreted as part of a continuing dialogue
between eh Almighty and His fallen children. As one Herefordshire church
warden remarked.....he wanted to know in this AD 1866, the Almighty dealt
with His people as He did with the Israelites of old.


The belovedQueen Victoria believed that the British were of Israleitish
stock. In the beef vrisis of the 1800, the nation prayed to God for
enlightenment, forgiveness and deliverance. Six months later, when
science still has not found an answer the church went one step further,
and appointed public Days of Humuliation whwre a proper display of
community repentance could be made.

Within weeks of the churches in England sending up their prayers, the
cattle plague also began to abated.

What did we learn from AIDS???? The disease is said to have an incubation

There are consequences to lots of things that do not show up immediately
but rahter over a much longer period of time/ Thus we could be in for a
BIG surprise when it is actually too late to fix the problem.

There is nothing wrong, of course, with governments -- or any other
business owners -- striving to get the best price for the assetts they
put up for sale.  They also have the right not to put an item up for
sale.

What is incomprehensible in the HungarHotels case is that the
government put the hotel portfolio up for sale, engaged in long
negotiations with potential buyers, came to an agreement, and then
pulled out of the deal.

One could surmise that PM Horn, ignorant of the details of the deal,
overrode the negotiators once he found out the price.  If this is true,
its bad news for it implies that he was not in control of his own
government and he is a poor manager.

PM Horn is far more cunning than that and I don't buy the innocent
bystander story at all.  More likely, IMHO, he knowingly allowed the
negotiations to proceed, misleading the potential buyers in the
process, in order to create a a "situation" in which he could then
appear as the last minute white knight who saves the nation from a
disastrous bad deal, picking up lots of domestic popularity points.

        Maybe in the strict sense of the letter of the law there was nothing
"legally" wrong but often it doesn't have to be and yet the general
impression is sleaze and untrustworthiness. That was the case with the
HungarHotels, in my opinion.

        I'm afraid there isn't a heck of a lot of goodies left which are

        Obviously George thinks more highly of Horn as a politician than I
am. I just started reading Horn's autobiography published in 1991. Once
finished with it I will be glad to share my impressions of the book with the
list. But even without ever reading his autobiography I think that as a
prime minister he is pretty much of a failure.

        I can't agree here either. (1) The Antall government wasn't defeated
because it wasn't comprised of professional politicians but because the
economic situation of the country deteriorated (mind you, inevitably) during
its time in office. (With this I am not saying that they acted in a fashion
which was politically savy.) (2) There were only one kind of "professional
politicians" in Hungary--as well as elsewhere in Eastern Europe--the
communists. Surely, if the same "professional politicians" continued after
1990 one didn't even need free elections. Thus we could have had Horn not in
1994 but in 1990.

        The problem with Eastern Europe's "professional politicians" is that
a successful politician in a one-party system and a command economy was a
very different animal from a successful politician in a democracy under
market forces. And this is where these guys fail, I think.

WITH 5 DOLLARS AND A FEW STAMPS YOU COULD BE MAKING MONEY!
   Sounds impossible but it's true!!! Many people have made up to
   40,000 DOLLARS!!!
   Besides you don't have to lose anything but 5 green ones!
   DON'T MISS THE OPORTUNITY OF YOUR LIFE!
   Read the instructions below and DO IT!


THE OFFICIAL INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Take 5 sheets of paper and write the following: "Please add my
   name to your list." This makes a service out of this money making
   and thus making it completely legal. You are not just randomly
   sending a dollar to someone you are paying a dollar for a
   legitiment service. Make sure that you include your name and
   address. I assure you that, again,this is completely legal! For a
   little twist, you can also write in what slot thier name was in:
   "You were in slot number three." Just to add a little fun! This
   is all about having fun and making money at the same time! Here
   is an example letter:

   Dear (name here), Please add my name to your list. Thank you for
   this service! -Your name here.

   Address them to the names in the following list:

THE NAMES*THE NAMES*THE NAMES*THE NAMES*THE NAMES*THE NAMES*THE NAMES*


1. Joe Closs
   7 Atlas Court
   Richmond Hill, Ontario
   Canada  L4S 1G1

2. Reginald Haines
   3703 Madison Ave. #3
   San Diego, CA 92116
   U.S.A.

3. Jeszs Pinazo Ruiz
   Avda. Andalucia, 96
   29751-Caleta de Vilez
   Malaga (SPAIN)

4. Pamela D. Hill
   11912 PORTERS MILL TURN
   MIDLOTHIAN, VA. 23113-1290
   U.S.A.

5. Xenophon Tsakanikas
   5, Osias Xenis Str.
   54250, Thessaloniki
   GREECE

**********************************************************************


2. Now fold each piece of paper around each dollar bill,
   (no checks or money orders) and put each one into thier
   respective envelopes and send them on thier way! It is important
   that the paper is folded around the dollar to ensure that it
   arrives at it's destination. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP!!!!!

3. Now listen carefully, here's where you get TONS OF MONEY
   COMING TO YOUR MAILBOX. Look at the list of five people listed
   above; remove the first name from position one and move each person
   one slot up on the list. Position 2 moves to Position 1, Position 3
   moves to Position 2, Position 4 moves to Position 3, and Position 5
   moves to Position 4. Now put your name, address, zip code, and
   _COUNTRY_ in position 5 at the bottom of the list.

4. Now upload this updated list to as many newsgroups and
   BBSes as you can. Give the files a catchy subject or description
   so it gets noticed! Such as "Need fast cash?" or "Need cash to
   pay your debts?", ect. And the more uploads and postings, the
   more money you will make, and of course the more money you make
   the more money the other people on the list will make to because
   we each get a dollar.

   LET'S ALL TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER BY BEING HONEST AND BY PUTTING FORTH
   120 PERCENT INTO THIS PROFITABLE AND AMAZING SYSTEM!!!

You'll reap the benifits believe me!!!!!! Set a goal for the number
of total uploads you'll post such as 200-250 posting or more! Always
have a  goal in mind.

If you can UUE encode the file while uploading then do it! It will
make it easier for the people to recieve it and have it downloaded to
their hard drive. That way they get a copy of the article right on
thier computer without the hassles of view and then saving the
article from the File Menu.

5. If you need help uploading, simplely ask the sysop of your
   BBS or internet service provider or just about anyone you can
   contact PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE GLAD TO HELP
   OTHERS. I would try to explain it myself but there are too many
   different internet software packages with slightly different, yet
   relatively simple ways of posting articles and files on the net.You
   could also look in the program's help file under 'posting' for
   assistance. Put something like this in the main body of the article
   or message:"Download this to learn how to get cash arriving
   in your mailbox with no paybacks!" or whatever. Just make sure it
   represents its ture feasibility, NOT something like: " 2 million
   dollars in your mailbox in two days" You wont get a single
   response, I guarantee you.

6. Now heres my favorite part! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SIT
   BACK AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE KNOWING THAT CASH IS
   ON ITS WAY!!!!! Expect to see a little money start to trickle in
   around 2 weeks, but in 3 TO 4 WEEKS MONEY WILL START
   TO CRAM YOUR MAILBOX THERE WILL BE SO MUCH
   MONEY THAT YOU WILL SCREAM!!! But don't scream to
   loud, the nieghbors might complain, but you know that you
   are set for life.

7. So go PAY OFF YOUR BILLS AND DEBTS and get that
   special someone the gift that they have had their eyes on.
   Throw a PARTY, do all the things you wanted to do before
   but couldn't afford. Enjoy life it's really great out there!!!

8. Now when you get low on this money supply, simply
   reactivate this file again; reposting it in all the places you
   can. Dont ever lose this file, always keep a copy at your
   reach for when you ever need cassh .
   THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE TOOL THAT YOU CAN ALWAYS REUSE TIME AND TIME
   AGAIN WHEN CASH IS NEEDED!!!

I agree with this. I also partially agree that it may have been
a political move. But moreover, it may have been that someone did not
get sufficient payoff to make the deal worth while, else they would have
sold it (regardless of the price). More likely, some other party offered
to pay more under the table!

Mr. Kanala

are you sure you've never been in Communist party? Maybe Stalin's helper? I
can not think any other more appropriate place for you. They (communists)
used same style of arguments in their disputes with public, they
blacklisted every opponent, they denied freedom of association same way as
you do in your posting on August 30:


RK:rather a compliment). Frajkor, Pacek, Szurek, Gazdik, Ziska, Kmet...
RK: ... who are using inuendo and undue association of themselfs with the

You must know that freedom of association and freedom of speech without any
fear of harassment are basic human rights. So what are you talking about?

Who are You Mr. Kanala?

Was included but its meaning was redefined. So as far as the

does not speac about Collective Autonomy. I would call that exclusion... or...

If Hungarians are to coexist in Romania they shall try to make an

There is a wide difference between "general business standards" and
breach of contracts suits.  Having spent months negotiating with the
Hungarian Government, expending considerable time and money, I am sure
the US buyer did not have a high opinion of its contracting counterpart
when the head of the Government pulled out of the deal.  The buyer
probably had reasonable expectations that the negotiators representing
the Government had the approval of its head.  When PM Horn announced
busting the deal, the US buyer was probably heard muttering a few
choice words under his breath about Hungarian general business
standards and the people who practise them...

As far as breach of contract is concerned, the buyers may have toyed
with the idea but ended up rejecting it.  Even if an agreement that had
the standing of a contract could be produced (which is doubtful) where
would s/he file her complaint?  In a Hungarian Court?  This is the same
group of legal whizzes who ruled that property taken away by the
communists based on laws that have since been declared illegal stays
with the illegal owners as long as the original legal owners were given
partial compensation, in other words legalizing the theft of property.
Surely our US buyer could not hope for fair treatment in such a court.

So the US buyer walked away a great deal wiser about doing business in
Hungary.  About the only thing s/he did was to make sure that the New
York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and the
Economist had the whole story, before buying a plane ticket to Prague
to check out what might be for sale there.

And PM Horn sat back, content with his sudden rise in domestic
popularity as a result of his well planned action...
