<p><span style="color:red;">Note: October 31 is Reformation Day, celebrating the Protestant Reformation, when the biblical gospel of grace was re-introduced to the Church at large.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;">The Roman Catholic Church held an almost monopolistic grip on the hearts of millions of people for hundreds of years.</p>
<p>Through the Dark Ages and Middle Ages, the awful legalistic system of &#8220;salvation by works&#8221; nearly choked out the light of the Gospel of the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Only small pockets of true believers in Christ escaped the dark heavy blanket of Romanism.</p>
<p>Then around 500 years ago came what we call the Reformation.</span></p>
<p>Men like Luther and Zwingli and Calvin and Knox, intense students of the Scriptures, rose up and shined the light of the Gospel into the darkness of European Catholicism. <a href="http://www.graceforlife.com/2009/10/reversing-reformation-how-so-called.html">(more)</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Sfanta Coroana maghiara, atribuita in mod eronat primului rege al Ungariei, canonizat ca Sfantul Stefan in anul 1083, a fost folosita de-a lungul istoriei ca un puternic instrument politic si de manipulare. In anul 2003, istoricul maghiar Laszlo Peter, profesor de istorie a Ungariei in cadrul University College din Londra, a publicat un studiu intitulat &#8220;Sfanta Coroana a Ungariei &#8211; Vizibil si Invizibil&#8221;, in care face o analiza detaliata a evolutiei simbolurilor atasate acesteia de-a lungul timpului, in functie de conjunctura politica. S<br />
ubliniind faptul ca, coroana, poate cea mai importanta relicva a Ungariei, nu a fost analizata suficient de mult pentru a pune capat speculatiilor referitoare la originea si doc–trina sa, Peter afirma ca, pornind de la o cercetare pur istorica, a ajuns la o serie de concluzii extrem de interesante, care nu pot fi se–parate de factorul politic.</p>
<p><strong>Coroana &#8211; mai importanta ca regele</strong></p>
<p>Paradoxal, cu toate ca Sfanta Coroana e considerata cel mai important simbol al Ungariei, asa cum arata si autorul in studiul sau, literatura de specialitate a ajuns la un consens in privinta a doua chestiunui: in primul rand, coroana care in prezent este pastrata in cladirea Parlamentului de la Budapesta, nu a apartinut niciodata Sfantului Stefan, iar in al doilea rand, ea a fost realizata din mai multe elemente provenite din regiuni diferite, asamblate ulterior (aceasta este formata din trei elemente: coroana greaca, coroana latina si crucea). Desi multi cercetatori sustin ca ea fost realizata chiar in anul 1000, momentul incoronarii regelui Stefan, se para ca aceasta a primit forma actuala in jurul anului 1270. Mai mult, in anul 1292, Andrei al III-lea &#8220;Venetianul&#8221; (1290 &#8211; 1301), ultimul rege al dinastiei arpadiene, a fost primul care a sustinut ca poarta chiar coroana Sfantului Stefan. Practic, pana atunci nu se pomeneste nimic despre existenta unei coroane, desi in cele trei secole, la conducerea Ungarie s-au succedat mai multe generatii. Studiul din 2003 concluzioneaza ca, daca in momentul incoronarii, Stefan I al Ungariei a primit intr-adevar o coroana din partea Papei, asa cum spun unele cronici (existand posibilitatea ca binecuvantarea Papei sa fi fost doar una simbolica ), in mod sigur aceasta nu este cea din pastrata in prezent in Parlamentul ungar. Istoricul demonstreaza astfel ca acest adevarat cult al coroanei se bazeaza pe argumente istorice care spun cu totul altceva.</p>
<p><strong>Primele mistificari</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3049" title="1256915838" src="http://barzilaiendan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/1256915838.jpg?w=175&#038;h=280" alt="1256915838" width="175" height="280" /></p>
<p>O alta chestiune interesenata este faptul ca Stefan I al Ungariei, conducatorul care a reusit sa<span id="more-3048"></span> organizeze aceast popor nomad si sa-l crestineze, a fost &#8220;venerat&#8221; de-a lungul timpului ca fiind primul reformator, desi primele coduri legislative care ii porta numele au aparut la mai multi ani dupa moartea sa. In anul 1083, Stefan I a fost canonizat, cu acordul Papei, de acest lucru profitand urmasii sai, care in secolul XIII au intorodus ideea de &#8220;sancti progenitores nostri&#8221;. Combinand mai multe elemente crestine si pagane, acestia i-au atribuit dinastiei arpadiene o serie de atribute divine. Ei doreau sa inradacineze credinta conform careia, daca Sfantul Stefan a fost binecuvantat de Papa, dovada fiind coroana, el devine trimisul lui Dumnezeu pe pamant. Transferul coroanei insemna practic transferul acestui atribut catre fiecare urmas. Regii erau incoronati in Biserica, deoarece aceasta ceremonie era echivalentul binecuvantarii Papei. Regii dinastiei arpadiene au inteles faptul ca falsa Sfanta Coroana era garantul puterii si au folosit-o ca atare. Astfel se explica si de ce Ungaria este un caz particular in aceasta privinta: cu toatre ca aceasta traditie a aparut mai tarziu aici, ea a rezistat mai mult decat in orice stat din Europa. Mitul a prins radacini si a dus la o adevarata competitie pentru posesia ei, deoarece noul rege era recunoscut doar daca era incoronat cu aceasta coroana. In anul 1301, Carol Robert de Anjou, a devenit regele Ungariei sub numele de Carol I, dar a primit binecuvantarea doar in 1309. Cu toate acestea, el nu a putut prelua tronul decat in anul 1310, moment in care a intrat in posesia coroanei. In 1458, Matei Corvin devine rege al Ungariei, dar nu este incoronat decat in 1464, dupa ce ii plateste imparatului Frederic al III-lea o mare suma de bani si rascumpara coroana. Potrivit cronicarilor vremii, in anul 1309 Cardinalul Gentilis de Montefiori, delegatul Papei, ar fi afirmat ca a constatat cu uimire ca pentru maghiari, coroana e mai importanta ca regele. Citandu-l pe unul din viceregii lui Matei Corvin, Mihaly Guti Orszagh, istoricul curtii scria in 1495 ca, &#8220;atata timp cat are Sfanta Coroana, chiar si un bou trebuie tratat cu respect si considerat rege sfant&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Cultul unui obiect</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3050" title="1256915838-1" src="http://barzilaiendan.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/1256915838-1.jpg?w=280&#038;h=275" alt="1256915838-1" width="280" height="275" /></p>
<p>Odata cu venirea la conducera Ungariei a dinastiei de Habsburg, coroana a primit noi seminificatii. Pastrand intregul ceremonial de incoronare, pentru a nu-i stirbi &#8220;atributele sfinte&#8221;, habsburgii au transformat coroana intr-un simbol al dominatiei lor si o garantiei impotriva incoronarii unor regi straini. Un alt exemplu relevant referitor la acest cult al coroanei este relatarea lui Joszef Keresztesi, un pastor protestant, care descria disperarea maghiarilor din anul 1784, cand imparatul Iosif al II-lea a hotarat sa mute Sfanta Coroana la Viena. Avand in vedere ca momentul a coincis cu aparitia unei crize econiomice, populatia era convisa ca din cauza acestui gest nesabuit al imparatului, Dumnezeu i-a pedepsit. In anul 1790, Iosif al II-lea a fost nevoit sa repatrieze coroana, aceasta fiind pastrata in Castelul Buda. Revenirea coroanei in tara a fost sarbatorita cu mare fast (i-au fost inchinate poeme si cantece), iar oamenii vorbeau despre ea ca despre o persoana. Cultul coroanei devenise atat de puternic in Ungaria incat nu mai era nevoie, asa cum se intamplase in alte zone, de inventarea unor teorii potrivit carora &#8220;regele nu moare niciodata&#8221;, sau ca acesta are doua trupuri, &#8220;unul fizic si unul politic&#8221;. La inceputul secolului XIX, Sfanta Coroana a continuat sa fie principalul simbol al puterii, lupta pentru conducere fiind in continuare o cursa pentru posesia ei. In anul 1849, coroana a parasit Castelul Buda, fiind dusa in localitatea Debrecen, pentru a scapa de trupele conduse de Alfred I, Printul de Windish &#8211; Gratz. In luna august, dupa ce Ungaria a pierdut razboiul de independenta, coroana a <!--more-->fost ingropata in afara granitelor, autoritatile austriece avand nevoie de patru ani ca sa o gaseasca. Cu aceasta coroana au mai fost incoronati Franz Josef (in anul 1867) si ultimul rege al Ungariei, Carol al IV-lea (1916). Un alt episod care a contribuit la consolidarea importantei acestui simbol a fost ceremonia de incoronare a ultimului rege maghiar, in timpul careia coroana ar fi alunecat de pe capul lui Carol al IV-lea, incidenta care a fost perceput de toata lumea ca un semn rau (dupa doi ani regatul si imperiul au fost dizolvate). In 1944, Miklos Horthy, guvernatorul Ungariei, a ingropat corana inca odata, Ferenc Szalasi, premier si lider al Partidului Crucilor cu Sageti fiind cel care a dezgropat-o. Pentru a o proteja de trupele Armatei Rosii, corana a fost mutata inca odata in Germania. De aici corana a plecat catre Statele Unite, fiind pastrata la Fort Knox pana in anul 1987, cand autoritatile americane au returnat-o Ungariei.</p>
<p><strong>Coroana invizibila si Transilvania</strong></p>
<p>Autorul studiului considera ca, o analiza corecta a doctrinei Sfintei Coroane, ar trebui sa contina si o referire la cea ce el numeste &#8220;coroana invizibila&#8221;, adica o detaliere a atributelor pe care le-a primit coroana de-a lungul timpului, in functie de contexul istoric si politic. Poate una din cele mai importante perioade ale evolutiei doctrinei Sfintei Coroane a fost cea cuprinsa intre anii 1790 &#8211; 1930. Daca pana atunci coroana nu era asociata cu ideea de teritoriu (stat), incepand cu anul 1790, acesta a prins contur. Juristii din secolul XIX sunt cei care au pus bazele doctrinei, initiind o dezbatere cu privire la rolul, originea semnificatia si legitimitatea coroanei. Tot ei au fost cei care au identificat coroana ca &#8220;sursa a identitatii nationale&#8221;. Desi acestia nu au ajuns la un consens in toate privintele, potrivit istoricului maghiar, in 1790 nobilii maghiari au preluat o parte din ideile juristilor si au lansat pentru prima data teoria ca Transilvania este parte a Ungariei, &#8220;ca teritoriu al Sfintei Coroane&#8221;. Dupa 1830, acestia au mers mai departe, sustinand ideea ca toate &#8220;teritoriile Sfintei Coroane&#8221; ar trebui unite intr-un singur sistem guvernamentral, punand astfel bazele formarii statului ungar. In aceasta perioada, istoria a suferit si ea o serie de modificari pentru a putea sustine acest argument; practic, imaginea coroanei din perioada medievala a fost transformata intr-un argument in favoarea unificarii teritoriale. Desi legea din aprilie 1848, prin care se dorea unificare Ungariei prin anexarea Croatiei si Transilvaniei, s-a dovedit a fi un esec, obiectivul nu a fost abandonat, in 1867 reusindu-se unificarea &#8220;teritoriilor Sfintei Coroane&#8221;, asa cum le numea Ferencz Deak (ministrul Justitiei in guvernul lui Lajos Batthyany). Chiar si Franz Josep si-a atribuit titlul de &#8220;succesor de drept al tronului si coroanei Ungariei si a teritoriilor asociate acesteia&#8221;, el ramanand valabil pana la sfarsitul monarhiei. In aceasta perioada, rolul coroanei a oscilat practic intre ideea de garant al puterii si garant al integritatii teritoriale. Mai mult, toate polemicile privind simbolistica acesteia au mers pe doua idei principale, adesea confuze: pe de-o parte coroana era elementul defenitoriu pentru istoria si evolutia maghiarilor, avand in vedere ca aceasta provenea din perioada arpadiana; pe de alta parte, ea era simbolul &#8220;Ungariei Mari&#8221;, teritoriu pe care Ungaria l-a ocupat in perioada imperiului, de care ea a dorit sa se desprinda. Inainte de dizolvarea Imperului Austro &#8211; Ungar, in octombrie 1918, politicienii maghiari au mers insa pe ideea ca, in cazul desprinderii Ungariei de Austria, &#8220;teritoriile Sfintei Coroane trebuie sa ramana unite deoarece ele reprezinta o singura entitate&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Regatul fara rege si amiralul fara nave</strong></p>
<p>In perioada interbelica, Tratatul de la Trianon a reprezentat principala tinta a guvernelor maghiare in cadrul politicii revizioniste. Paradoxal, dupa caderea imperiului, doctrina Sfintei Coroane a inceput sa castige un loc din ce in ce mai insemnat in constiiinta nationala, in 1920 aceasta devenind ideologia oficiala a regimului, fiind principala justificare pentru pretentiile teritoriale care au un puternic ecou pana in prezent. In anul 1920, moment in care Parlamentul il alege pe Miklos Horthy ca regent al Ungariei, acesta afirma ca potrivit doctrinei Sfintei Coroane, Ungaria ramane regat, dar principala sursa a puterii nu este regele, ci coroana in sine. In martie 1943, regentul Horthy a instituit chiar si decoratia Ordinul Sfintei Coroane, care era acordata cetatenilor straini pentru serviciile aduse statului ungar, atat pe timp de pace, cat si pe timp de razboi.Ordinul Sfintei Coroane avea opt grade, dar a disparut dupa doar doi ani. Dupa cel de-al Doilea Razboi Mondial, odata cu venirea comunistilor la putere, doctrina coroanei a fost abandonata. Cu toate ca acesta a fost extrem de importanta de-a lungul secolelor, comunistii nu au putut trece cu vederea faptul ca ea era in stransa legatura cu institutiile monarhiei.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Satana ne vrea ai lui. El ne atacă, şi o face fără ruşine şi fără ezitări. Primii pe care îi racolează sunt copiii! Ei sunt învăţaţi că este periculos să îşi bată joc de diavolul şi este OK să se joace cu el.</p>
<p>Pe Satana nu îl deranjează amestecul cu Creştinismul. Dacă cineva alege să îl slujească este lăsat şi să pară creştin.</p>
<p>Dumnezeu nu ne va ucide azi dacă ne punem decoraţii prin casă de Halloween, dacă punem un bostan la uşă sau cumpărăm o mască pentru copii. Dar, dacă facem aşa, noi îi dăruim Satanei dreptul în viaţa noastră, a copiilor noştri, a familiei noastre! Încercăm să facem imposibilul – să slujim la doi stăpâni.</p>
<p>Nu putem sluji la doi stăpâni, nu putem avea şi sărbătorile Domnului şi ale dracilor, şi valorile Domnului şi valorile dracilor! Trebuie să alegem, cu orice preţ! Mă gândesc la părinţii care au copii la şcoli unde se organizează tot felul de sărbători de Halloween. Oare vom fi aşa de neînţelepţi să îi trimitem pe copii acolo, în mâna Satanei, acolo, unde se aduce închinare Celui Rău?</p>
<p>Efeseni 5:10 scrie: ,,cercetaţi ce este plăcut înaintea Domnului&#8230;şi nu luaţi deloc parte la lucrările neroditoare ale întunerecului, ba încă mai degrabă osândiţi-le!”<br />
Atenţie, sărbătorile nu sunt o joacă, nu sunt inofensive! Dacă nu sunt sărbătorile Domnului, sunt ale dracilor (1 Cor 10:19)!</p>
<p>Dacă ai fost prins de val, sau nu ai ştiut, de acum ştii! Dedică-te cu totul lui Dumnezeu şi nu îţi va mai fi ruşine de crezul tău, de Dumnezeul tău, care te iubeşte şi te protejează!<br />
Nu accepta amestecul periculos. Acceptă, dacă trebuie, suferinţa, ironia celor din jur. E mai uşoară decât preţul pierderii sufletului tău sau al copiilor tăi!<br />
Dumnezeu să ne lumineze!</p>

<p>This astonishing 18ft drawing of the world’s most famous skyline was created by autistic artist Stephen Wiltshire after he spent just 20 minutes in a helicopter gazing at the panorama.</p>
<p>The unbelievably intricate picture was drawn at Brooklyn’s prestigious Pratt Institute from Stephen’s memory, with details of every building sketched in to scale.</p>
<p>Landmarks including the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building can be seen towering above smaller buildings after just three days in his spellbinding creation.</p>

In the days of the circuit riders a minister was out riding one afternoon<br />
and came upon a man out working in his field.<br />
&#8220;Fine day isn&#8217;t it?&#8221; the minister called out.<br />
&#8220;Its fine for you&#8221;, the man replied, &#8220;All you have to do is ride around on<br />
that horse thinking about God all day long, while I have to sweat here in<br />
this field and then walk home afterward. I don&#8217;t think it is right you<br />
should have things so easy while I have to work so hard.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;On the contrary&#8221;, the minister answered, &#8220;thinking about God is one of the<br />
most difficult things you can do.  And to prove it, I&#8217;ll give you this horse<br />
if you can think about God and nothing else for one minute.&#8221;<br />
&#8220;You&#8217;re on,&#8221; said the man and immediately he sat down in silence.  Thirty<br />
seconds later he looked up at the minister, and said, &#8220;Does that include the<br />
saddle?&#8221;</p>

<p>Human eggs and sperm have been grown in the laboratory in research which could change the face of parenthood.</p>
<p>It paves the way for a cure for infertility and could help those left sterile by cancer treatment to have children who are biologically their own.</p>
<p>But it raises a number of moral and ethical concerns. These include the possibility of children being born through entirely artificial means, and men and women being sidelined from the process of making babies.</p>
<p><img class="blkBorder" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/28/article-0-03F8DC8E000005DC-321_468x312.jpg" alt="Infertile men and women could have their own biological children using the breakthrough sperm and eggs" width="468" height="312" /></p>
<p>Forever fertile? Infertile men and women could have their own biological children using the breakthrough sperm and eggs</p>
<p>Opponents argue that it is wrong to meddle with the building blocks of life and warn that the advances taking place to tackle infertility risk distorting and damaging relations between family members.</p>
<p>The U.S. government-funded research also offers the prospect of a &#8216;miracle pill&#8217; which staves off the menopause, allowing women to wait longer to have a child.</p>
<p>It centres on stem cells, widely seen as a repair kit for <span id="more-3029"></span>the body.</p>
<p>Scientists at Stanford University in California found the right cocktail of chemicals and vitamins to coax the cells into becoming eggs and sperm.</p>

Controversial: Britain&#8217;s oldest mother Elizabeth Adeney, 67, who went abroad for IVF, is pictured here with her newborn son in June this year</div>
<p>The sperm had heads and short tails and are thought to have been mature enough to fertilise an egg.</p>
<p>The eggs were at a much earlier stage but were still much more developed than any created so far by other scientists.</p>
<p>The double success, published in the journal Nature, raises the prospect of men and women one day &#8216;growing&#8217; their own sperm and eggs for use in IVF treatments.</p>
<div class="thinFloatRHS"><img class="blkBorder" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/28/article-1223617-07000F22000005DC-360_233x442.jpg" alt="Mahood cartoon on artificial sperm and eggs" width="233" height="442" /></div>
<p>The American team used stem cells taken from embryos in the first days of life but<br />
hope to repeat the process with slivers of skin.</p>
<p>The skin cells would first be exposed to a mixture which wound back their biological clocks to embryonic stem cell state, before being transformed into sperm or eggs.</p>
<p>Starting with a person&#8217;s own skin would also mean the lab-grown sperm or eggs would not be rejected by the body.</p>
<p>The science also raises the possibility of &#8216;male eggs&#8217; made from men&#8217;s skin and &#8216;female sperm&#8217; from women&#8217;s skin.</p>
<p>This would allow gay couples to have children genetically their own, although many scientists are sceptical about whether it is possible to create sperm from female cells, which lack the male Y chromosome.</p>
<p>The U.S. breakthrough could unlock many of the secrets of egg and sperm production, leading to new drug treatments for infertility.</p>
<p>Defects in sperm and egg development are the biggest cause of infertility but, because many of the key stages occur in the womb, scientists have struggled to study the process in detail.</p>
<p>Researcher Rita Reijo Pera, of Stanford&#8217;s Centre for Human Embryonic Stem Cell<br />
Research, believes new fertility drugs are just five years away.</p>
<p>However, safety and ethical concerns mean that artificial sperm and eggs are much further away from use.</p>
<p>Dr Reijo Pera said any future use of artificial eggs and sperm would have to be subject to guidelines.</p>
<p>&#8216;Whether one builds the boundaries on religion or just on an internal sense or of right and wrong, these are important. In this field, it is not &#8220;anything goes&#8221;.&#8217;</p>
<p>Scientists at Newcastle University claimed to have made sperm from embryonic stem cells earlier this year but the research paper has been retracted.</p>
<p>Dr Allan Pacey, a Sheffield University expert in male fertility said: &#8216;Ultimately this may help us find a cure for male infertility. Not necessarily by making sperm in the laboratory, I personally think that is unlikely, but by identifying new targets for drugs or genes that may stimulate sperm production to occur naturally.</p>
<p>&#8216;This is a long way off, but it is a laudable dream.&#8217;</p>
<p>Dr Peter Saunders, of the Christian Medical Fellowship, said that IVF should be the preserve of married couples.</p>
<p>&#8216;The question is, why are we creating artificial gametes (eggs and sperm) and aborting 200,000 babies a year when there are many, many couples willing to adopt?&#8217;</p>

<div class="home item">//
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div class="js-poll poll bocc link-wocc">Josephine Quintavalle, of the campaign group Comment on Reproductive Ethics, warned that any flaws in the artificial sperm or eggs could be passed on to future generations.</div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Anthony Ozimic, of the Society for the Protection of Unborn Children, said: &#8216;The use of artificial gametes in reproduction would distort and damage relations between family members.</p>
<p>&#8216;There are no instances of any major medical advance achieved by abandoning basic ethical principles such as safeguarding the right to life.&#8217;</p>

<p>In Grecia Antica, Socrate era renumit pentru respectul cu<br />
care isi trata prietenii. Intr-o zi o cunostinta l-a intalnit pe<br />
marele filosof si l-a intrebat:</p>
<p>&#8220;Stii ce-am auzit despre prietenul tau?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Stai putin&#8221;, a replicat Socrate.&#8221;Inainte de a-mi spune ceva<br />
as dori sa facem un test. Se numeste testul Filtrului Triplu.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Filtrul Triplu?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Exact&#8221;, a continuat Socrate.&#8221;Inainte de a vorbi cu tine despre<br />
prietenul meu , ar fi o idee buna sa stam un pic si sa filtram ceea<br />
ce vei spune. Acesta este motivul pentru care il numesc testul<br />
Triplului Filtru. Primul filtru este Adevarul. Esti absolut sigur<br />
ca ceea ce vrei sa-mi spui este adevarat?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nu&#8221;, spuse omul. &#8220;De fapt doar am auzit despre asta si&#8230;&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In regula&#8221;, a spus Socrate.&#8221;Deci nu stii daca este adevarat sau<br />
nu. Acum hai sa incercam si al doilea filtru, filtrul Bunatatii.<br />
Ceea ce vrei sa-mi spui despre prietenul meu este ceva bun?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nu, din contra&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Deci,&#8221; A continuat Socrate, &#8220;Vrei sa-mi spui ceva rau despre el<br />
dar nu esti sigur ca este adevarat. Totusi poti sa treci testul,<br />
deoarece mai este un filtru: filtrul Utilitatii.Ceea ce vrei sa-mi<br />
spui despre prietenul meu imi va fi de folos?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Nu, nu chiar.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Bine&#8221;, a concluzionat Socrate, &#8220;Daca ceea ce vrei sa-mi spui<br />
nu este nici adevarat, nici bun, nici chiar folositor, de ce mai<br />
trebuie sa-mi spui ceva?&#8221;</p>
<p>Toate bune,</p>
