Hey, Joe, congratulations! This beats the crap out of the Illyrian

Them Illyrians  must've done a hell of an adaptation of their Magyar
neighbors' language to come up in the end with... the Romanian

As we know psychology and psychiatry was considered bourgeois remnants by the
marxist. It means it was not the favoured science by the communists, which in
case of CCCP meant execution under Mr. Stalin. Hungarians don't go to
psychiatrist with their problem because they don't know that such thing exists
or they don't trust in them, because there is not enough qualified p. around,
because it costs money, and because so many neurotic are around it is
considered the normal. :) :) :)

well, first of all, the fact that hungary, estonia, and finland, countries
linked by common ethnicity and origins (more or less) share the top places in
suicide rates, is quite a hell of a coincidence.
     
compare this to the suicide rates in latin-speaking countries such as spain,
italy, france, romania - i do not have the exact statistics, but i think it is
much lower.  or even to germanic countries as well.
     
in lack of any other explanations, maybe this fact should not be totally
discounted.
     
then again, after i thought about it for a while, maybe the explanation is
more complex than that.  maybe there is not a single cause we can point to,

Hi Christian. 
I somewhat shared your opinion that there appeared to be some connection
between language/culture and Hungary's suicidal "achievment" but the
information below seems to put an added clinker to the formula. I culled the
info from our local newspapers.

Recent statistics released by UNICEF say that 13.5 in 100,000 Canadians
between the ages of 15 and 19 -- or 253 accross the entire population --
killed themselves in 1991. Only New Zealand with 15.7 suicides per 100,000 and
Finland with 15, were higher. The Canadian figure topped that of the US where
11.1 teens per 100,000 take their own lives.

University of Toronto prof., Dr Diane Sax, who reported the stats at a medical
conference said the number of total teen deaths in Canada is also higher than
in most countries. About 100 of every 100,000 teens die before their 20th
birthday. The vast majority of deaths are car accidents and suicides.

Denise Avard, executive director of the Canadian Institute of Child Health
said the number of teen suicides in Canada has been increasing since 1960 when 
only 5.3 per 100,000 teens killed themselves. Young men account for a majority
of the suicides, adding that Statistics Canada indicates they are six times
more likely than their female counterparts to kill themselves.

Insofar as teen suicides are concerned, Hungary doesn't seem to be in the
running. A teenager is one whose life is in front of him, whereas, those who
are older have a past to some extent. It would seem to me an extreme paradox
that those with a long future before them, cut it short. Why? For two years
running the UN has declared Canada the best place in which to live -- yet our
youth kill themselves. 

There is nothing to compare with Hungary -- no cultural connection beyond a
tiny immigrant community. These are the complexities of human beings. And
compared to living conditions in Romania, Canada is paradise, yet a far
greater proportion of Canadian youth thinks otherwise.

So perhaps the overall suicide rate of Hungary will drop in light of the fact
that a higher proportion of Hungarian youth seem imbued with a degree of
personal optimism.

At least, you must understand why so many Romanians in pre-1918
Transylvania had to give Latin names to their children :-)

Of course, this is no excuse for the abuses in post-1918 Transylvania.
And it's worth remembering that these abuses continued even during the
1940-1944 period, just the nationality of the victims was different.

No, such thing did not happened. The Kadar regime however was very
succesful to initiate quarrels among different groups of emigrants
and practically prevented that the emigration as a whole could oppose
the communist government abroad. The Hungarian emigration is still
quite divided.
The regime tried to use the diapora for their purpose. The Internatio-
nal Federation of Hungarians (???) (Magyarok Vilagszovetsege) was
such a political tool in the hand of Kadar. This organization was finan-
cially supported by the communists but they failed to build it into
an effectively working organisation. The few emigrant politicians and
personalities who they managed to buy was not capable to unite the
Hungarians under one roof.

The point is that the practice is still going on. Besides, a lot of Hungarian
peasants in Transylvania voluntarily "Romanized" before WWI and this is where
most of the Hungarian-sounding names come from, such as Sabau, Covaci, Suteu, 
Astalos,... , while I the effect of claimed "Magyarization" between 1940-1944
is not that visible.

Tamas,

Thanks for the info. Never figured inflation would be that high in
Hungary.

A friend of mine will spend months, possibly over a year, in
Eastern/Central
Europe. She intends to keep the money she'll need for the trip in a bank
account, preferably in Hungary.  If I understand this right, foreigners
and
citizens are allowed to have accounts in dollars there. However, I am
still
not sure what the interest rates are on dollar-deposits would be.

I really hate to burden you or anyone else with these questions. What I
need,
I guess, is an information source (probably a web site?or
E-journal?banks?)
in Hungary or elsewhere in Europe that will keep up with changes. Anyone
happen to know any of those? Perhaps the E-mail address for the Hungarian
Chamber of Commerce?

Thanks bunches,

It looks like the famous Vienna proctologist, Dr, Frankenwiener has
not been very diligent with his treatment of this patient.  His woden
suppository must have been too long and exercised too much pressure on
the fecal matter that penetrated way high up into the rather small cerebral
cavity.  I guess, Dr. Frankenwiener was not as delicate with his
instrument.  He did make some progress for a while with "Panonescu"
though.
Oh, well, can't blame him though.  The patient was probably going

It seems that "Roumania" was the usual form before World War I; then "Rumania" 
in the postwar period, and "Romania" only in the past 30 years or so.  My 
pronunciation of the word is as "Roomania," though.

Angi, why the heck did you get a wife if she's not even reminding
you to take that daily pill? Oh right, probably just to get that
damn citizenship...

Dear Colleagues,

This morning (Oct.2) the NY Times published a 300 word editorial on the
dictatorial practices of Iliescu (and Slovak, Albanian, and Czech abuses of
the free press). Some of their sentences are almost identical to our news
releases. The editorial concludes with: "Mr. Iliescu and his
colleagues...deserve no such benefits when they treat their citizens and the
press as dictators do."
        This is a major victory for the cause of human and cultural rights in
Central Europe and since you helped in achieving it, I wanted you to know
about it.

Best regards: Bela Liptak

Not that I know of. Penthouse magazine can be obtained at the local 7-11. I
haven't seen a naked girl on the "Bikini of the Day", although I admit not
looking into it very much. (Adrian, you old dog...)

  OK.                And who may those "some of us" be? (If you want me to
                     believe you've never read a "girlie mag", well, maybe it's
                     you who should get a life. My Dad reads them, he's almost
                     70, the dirty old man. I also like Pamela Anderson's body,
                     shame on me.)

Sure. Send in the Ohio militia (judging by your posts, I figure you must be
associated with them). I'd be honored.

What's wrong with SCR, Donea?  Is it too boring for you.  Why don't you just
get out of here?

It takes a rUmanian to make cracks about someone's wife.

BTW, our citizenship is not "damned."  We were both born here in the USA.

Go home.  Stay out of here.  You already got too much of our land.

to prove it.)

Here is some more of his proze (sic)

It looks like the famous Vienna proctologist, Dr, Frankenwiener has
not been very diligent with his treatment of this patient.  His woden
suppository must have been too long and exercised too much pressure on
the fecal matter that penetrated way high up into the rather small cerebral
cavity.  I guess, Dr. Frankenwiener was not as delicate with his
instrument.  He did make some progress for a while with "Panonescu"
though.
Oh, well, can't blame him though.  The patient was probably going
through a seizure provoked by hearing the word : ROMANIA.

Isn't this just great folks?  Is this why they have to hang out in SCM?
Their own people won't put up with them.

This guy's going to have cardiac arrest when he hears AUTONOMY, HUMAN

Why oh why do they hang out on Magyar teritory?

Tell him to go home.

	Yup, the Slavs, Albanians and Greeks, all well-known Latin 
speakers.  And, by the by, Joe, I do know that my Greek ancestors 
continued to speak Greek north of the Danube till the late 1700's, when they 
switched to French.  But then, the peasants, as the authentic carriers of 
the culture must of switched to French centuries earlier, giving them 
time to develop a new language.  Though how they came up with Latin-like 
declentions from French I'll never know.

It seems to me that everyone forgot that not only hungarians and
rumanians live(d) in Transsylvania (Siebenbu:rgen). My grandfather
was an ethnic german and had to flee from the atrocities when the
"civilized followers of the culture of Rome" took over Transsylvania.
The only Romans the Vlach sheperds seem to be following are Caligula
and Heliogabalus (Elagabal). Nero was probably too civilized.
