What exactly is the problem people have with "gypsies"/roma?
Q. i dont really get the problem people have with "gypsies" (i understand that is politicly incorect? i have no idea) i live in the united states and i dont think there are gypsies here. but i heard maddona made a comment about supporting gypsies or something and people were offended. why dont people like gypsies? i thought they just moved around alot.
Asked by Emily - Fri Sep 4 09:03:17 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Maddona is a fool and really I dout if she even knows the long history of mistrust that some people have against the Gypsies. I don't think they live in her neighborhood. I have lived in Hungary where there is a large population of Roma. There are also many that live in the US. My son married a girl that was half Gypsy and allot of trouble and lying was going on with her. Other then her, I don't personally know many Gypsy people. There is a man that lives in our apt. house in Budapest that is a Gypsy and he keeps to himself and teaches violin out of his flat. not much trouble with him. I have asked my husband what the problem is since he has grown up in Hungary. He said it is something that western outsiders from America can't understand… [cont.]

A. Maybe she was talking about Romans. It was probably gibberish that sounded good. I know when I hum out tunes, I can make some weird words sounding to emphasis the note. In this case, it probably just sounded cool.

A. As an arsenal fan, it's pretty obvious that I don't support you in the premiere league. But in these circumstances, whenever there is an english team vs a different euro team(or any other country) I always go for the english team because they are representing here, England, and I like it when any premiere league team promote us as much as they can. Btw, that does mean if you yourself aren't a bitter rivalrist( if thats a word) than you shall be supporting Chelsea too, isn't that right?

Can I grow roma tomatoes year around?
Q. If I dug up my roma tomato plant now and placed it in a large planter pot indoors by a lot of windows, will it continue to make delicious tomatoes? does the plant naturallly die within one year?
Asked by missy - Mon Oct 16 14:17:22 2006 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Many people have success with this, but as the days get darker earlier, it will respond to the lack of natural light, even though it is warm indoors, so supplement the light a few extra hours daily with a grow light found at your local Walmart. Side dress with fertilizer or water with compost tea, or just water weekly with a fertilizer-water mix, and good luck. You can get a lot of good info from your local master gardeners society (check for their website), or call your local home extension office. The site I use is www.tulsamastergardeners. org and there is a search on their page for questions.

Asked by answers - Wed Oct 8 19:50:22 2008 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Both. The Romany peoples of Europe have been treated very badly for centuries. In times past it was perfectly legal to hunt them, rape their women, confiscate their children or lynch them without reason. In fact it was even written into the statutes of some countries. Why? Because they were 'different' ...that's all. In England, when the Romany's first arrived, around the Tudor times, they were called 'Egyptians' as they were dark skinned, spoke in their own language and were not Christians. That is where the name 'Gypsy' derives from by the way. The Church was instrumental in making people believe they were evil, Satan worshipping, Christian eating heathens. They were banished from many towns as the skills they had were far greater than… [cont.]

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.

I just go to the boxoffice at the stadium to get tickets though. I would think carefully about going to a match between rivals like this though - there is sometimes violence.

Asked by Irene F - Tue Apr 10 02:57:49 2007 - - 3 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Good question! The Romani more resemble the East Indians in genotype, however, the Romani migrated away from India long, long ago, so there is variance between us (I am one) and Indians today. If we had to be asked "do you look like the average European or do you look Indian", we look more Indian, for the most part. Most of us have darker skin, black or brown hair, black or brown eyes. Of course, not all of us are like that. My Clan, for instance, is known for the occasional violet eyed person. Not common, but it does occur. Blondes also occur in some Clans, but are not common. Personally, I think the blonde individuals are the result of old race mixing somewhere. The violet eyes were documented hundreds of years ago and are… [cont.]

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.

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.
