Do the Roma (Gypsy) people have a "homeland" like the Jews or Armenians or other ethnic groups?
Q. Like, are the Roma people nomadic because they like that lifestyle? Or are they eventually trying to get somewhere geographically?

A. Thank you or using the proper term! *blows kiss* No, they are not trying to get anywhere geographically. Genetically, we're from the Indian subcontinent, but there is no 'promised land,' or anything like that. By and large the culture is simply nomadic. It isn't so much that they like the lifestyle, so much as settling down in one place makes it harder to keep marime law about not marrying out, and what is and is not allowed in the home, and such. settling also goes against the nature. Most often compare it to water. If Rom stay in one place, they believe the spirit and the energy goes stagnant and causes disease and problems. Also, because the culture and laws are so different it fosters persecution. There are Roma who settle down, but… [cont.]

Asked by BobGoodrich - Thu Jul 17 16:26:11 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. why should the church encourage them??? The Pope only says what he's expected to say, which is that we have to help poor countries and poor emigrants, but that's all. anyway yes, gypsies are a social plague, but not only because they steal and disturb tourists and locals,but mainly because they hunger their children until they look like concentration camps survivors and then send them to beg, in order to impress people and to obtain more money. It's a real shame, and the authorities can't help but watch.

A. You can either walk or take the vaporetto. If you've got luggage, the vaporetto will be easier. Either the #1 to the San Marco Vallaresso stop or #61 to the San Zaccharia stop. The #1 takes you down the Grand Canal. There's a route planner and other information for the vaporetto here:

Any good films depicting the enslavement of the Roma in the 19th/18th Century?
Q. As some may already know, the Romani people, or the "Gypsies", were used as slaves throughout Eastern Europe and were treated brutally as objects throughout the late 1700s and into the 1800s. Anyone know off the top of their head any good books or films depicting their plight in more detail? I know dozens of books and movies on African American & Jewish slavery, but none on Romani Slavery.

This might sound like a silly question but are roma tomatoes and grape tomatoes the same thing?
Q. I eat grape tomatoes like crazy and decided to grow them myself to save money. I looked everywhere for a grape tomato plant and never found any. Roma tomatoes looked the closest and thats what I planted. Just hoping I got the right one. I know it sounds silly but I am serious with this. Thanks in advance :)
Asked by pj7232 - Mon Jun 9 14:49:03 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Sorry to disappoint, but Roma tomatoes are not the same thing as grape tomatoes. Romas are smallish tomatoes about the size of plums or lemons. They are typically considered sauce tomatoes. Grape tomatoes, if I'm not mistaken, are much more like classic cherry tomatoes. If you still want to grow some of your own try a cherry variety (or grape if you can find one). Some that I have grown and liked include: Sweet 100, Hybrid Sweet 1000, Husky Cherry, Jelly Bean, and Yellow Pear tomato. Cherry tomato plants are great because they can easily be grown in a pot on your deck.

A. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Put the tomatoes in and leave them in for about 5 minutes or less depending on how many ya have. Put them into cold water. here are the exact directions: Instructions -- Step1) Start with nice ripe red tomatoes. Give them a quick wash in cold water. If they have a spot, remove it with a sharp knife. Remove any stems and the actual stem core from the top of the tomato. Don't worry about any blemishes in the skin as the skin will be removed later. Step2) Prepare a pot of boiling water large enough for two or three tomatoes as well as enough water to cover them. There is no point in trying to work with a whole bunch of tomatoes at once as they only need to be in the water for about one minute. … [cont.]

Asked by karatekiddo - Sun Nov 30 23:35:41 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In addition to the Metro, you could get a ticket for the hop-on, hop-off bus that circulates through the tourist areas including a stop near the Vatican. The ticket is good all day and you can get off the bus and explore where you like and then continue on a later bus. The buses are about 20 to 25 minutes apart and take a more or less circular route covering all the main attractions. This is more expensive than the Metro, but there are things to see and commentary while you're in transit. During the Christmas period, there's a display of 100 presepi (nativity scenes) in Piazza del Popolo that's worth seeing. However, if the weather is nice, I usually just walk everywhere from Roma Termini - it's a long way to the Vatican, but there are… [cont.]
