Sorry, but you need a WWW browser, "mosaic" or "Netscape" or "Cello"
..etc. in able to go to one of these home-pages. You can use "lynx" too,
it is a text based browser. You can try it, by typing "lynx" at your unix
prompt. If your system has it, then it will work. If you have it, then
after the opening screen type "g" for go, then type in that long line,
that starts with "http://...................".
Good luck.

Sorry Robert,
but has it ever occured to you, that most of us in Hungary, were
probably not even born yet when Buda were reconquered :) ? Not to mention
the reign of Nagy Lajos. I do not think, that even Zsa Zsa Gabor witnessed
those times. Also, the reconquerors of Buda were not Hungarians.
Hungarian army did not exist at the end of the 17th century, the
percentage of Hungarians in those troops was negligible.
The United States has more problems with anti-Jewish sentiments than
Hungary. Just to mention the permanent in-the-front-of-the-window
Blacks vs. Jews, white-supremacists vs Jews etc. little fights.
You find more hate crimes in the USA per capita , than in any of
the Central-European countries. Hungary did not have clubs, beaches,
restaurants just 20-25 years back, unlike the USA, that said -
" Absolutely no Niggers or Jews allowed !"

I do not think that "good and fair" Hungarian Christians should try to conceal
bad elements, although, most of the "good and fair" Hungarian Christians
living in Hungary today, has nothing to do with anything you wrote .
None of them is responsible for crimes comitted in the past.
They are responsible only for what they are/were .

Pal, you are a racist. A little bloody racist.
There is no question like that at all :-< Sorry, but that is primitive ,
leads to stereotype thinking and prejudice only. Do not you remember how people
used to justify anti-Jewish behaviour ? And you are coming up with
a sentence like this ! C'mon ! Just what measure would you use, anyway,
to decide about goodness/badness ? Good Christian values , how fast you
run or the love of Mohamed the Prophet ? Jewish blood or being a vegeterian?
Should a Jewish Hungarian, as part of the Hungarian nation be ashamed ?
What about baptized Hungarian Jews ? Gipsies or assimilated Gipsies ?
Converted Cumens and Pechenegs ? What about Hungarian persons with names
Ne'met, Orosz, Toth, Ola'h, Horva't, Szerb, Cseh, Lengyel, Gorog or - ,
Lipovitcs, Khaut, Bocskai, Schwendtner, Schwarz, Wyberal, Petrovics ?
Should we leave them out while establishing the good/bad ratio for
the Hungarian nation?
Also, is there a super-human/religion ethics that you think everybody
should follow (and also covers the disservice you mentioned above) ?
Please, enlighten us !
