E.

Is there anything else that's unclear?

P.S.
By the way, Soylent, regarding my American perspective, wouldn't it be helpful if you included a link to the article since you went through all that trouble to find it? It would really help me understand the context. 😉

Here is that bank of yours, my Gypsy friend!
Here is that bank, my friend!
Hey, my Gypsy friend, play me a tune!

I'll play it just for you.
You're going to listen to me.
Here is the bank, my friend.
Hey, my Gypsy friend, why don't you play me a tune?

Time to pop the Champagne!
Time to pop the top and enjoy!

And when that moment finally arrives?
Is it just me, or is Champagne going to be the death of us all?
Look at that bank, my Gypsy friend!
Hey, my Gypsy friend, why don't you play me a tune?

There really isn't a more beautiful girl out there.

Is there any girl more beautiful than her?
Is there anything more catchy than a simple rhythm? Just Lada, Lada, lom, Lada, Lada, lom! It’s stuck in my head now. Isn't it funny how a little repetition can just take over your brain?
From Marika the Gypsy Lada
Ladi ladi lom ladi ladi lom!

When she sings, there’s such a deep sense of sadness in her voice, isn't there?
And what happens when the player goes crazy?
And every single night, once the edge of the camp fades away...
Is everyone just out there losing their minds and singing along?
Lada is really making waves lately—she’s absolutely shaking things up!

It seems like things are getting wild every single night lately. Is it just me, or does the chaos never seem to take a break?
He’s out there living it up every single night.
And every single night, once the edge of the camp has passed...
Is it just me, or does it feel like everyone is singing the same tune about being a rogue lately?
Lada is truly making waves lately—she’s absolutely shaking things up!

old gypsy

I’m just a gypsy at heart.
I feel like I have no one.
Aside from one old violin.

Is there anything quite like getting lost in a song? It really makes you wonder how much music can shape our connection to one another.
Is there anything quite like getting lost in a song when you're feeling a bit blue? Sometimes, all you really need is a good melody to carry that melancholy.
Songs about love, and the life I owe to them.

Old Gypsies
Is it just me, or does it feel like everyone has completely checked out? It’s as if the whole world just vanished overnight. Does anyone else feel that same sense of emptiness?
I wonder, who used to play music with me back in the day?

I have absolutely nobody. Not one single person.
Aside from that old violin...
And maybe a glass of brandy to wash it all down?

In my entire life...
It’s just a bit sad, really. A little bit soulful, if you know what I mean?
I've honestly never been anywhere like this before. Is it just me, or does everyone have that one place they've always wondered about?
I used to have my own place.

Growing up alongside that song... isn't it funny how certain melodies just become part of your DNA? It’s more than just music; it's like a soundtrack to our entire childhood. Does anyone else feel that same wave of nostalgia hitting them out of nowhere?
Feeling a little blue today, just letting the music carry me through. Is there anything else that hits quite like a sad song?
Songs about love... I feel like I owe them a lifetime of listening.

Old Gypsies
Is it just me, or does it feel like everyone has completely checked out? It’s as if the whole world just vanished overnight. Does anyone else feel that same sense of emptiness?
I wonder who used to play music with me back in the day?

And I have absolutely nobody. Not one single soul.
Aside from that old violin...
And maybe a glass or two of some good bourbon?

John Johnson's Dragon Gypsy

It’s funny how some people just can't help but brag about their own stuff, right? It’s like that old saying about a Gypsy praising his own horse.

Gledash, tell me, what do you think about my horse?
How’s everything going, boss?
Is it a horse or a bird? Honestly, who can really tell anymore?
swallow?
Take off those glasses—
You just can't take your eyes off it, can you?
Come on, it's time to start shopping! Why wait any longer?
Are you still asking Josh about Putalj?
Isn't that just wonderful!
Don't you worry about a thing!
If it isn't working, why bother with it? Why would anyone want to stick around if things aren't going right?
Over at the Gypsy's place,
You just can't get him to cooperate, can you?
I wonder if we could find them—
Just an ordinary guy who doesn't quite get it.
May he be praised!

Wouldn't it be something if they dusted him in pure gold?
If you aren't saving money, what exactly are you planning for?
Josh, and then there was a single gold coin.
It’s worth more.

If you’ve got it, you might as well enjoy it, right?
Teeth and straw?
If you don't have it, he simply won't go. Is it really that simple?
He doesn't need it.
Don't go looking at his teeth.
My friends,
I haven't actually looked at them myself either.
Don't you start too.
There's just no way he can sharpen up.
Why are you being so hard on him, buddy?
Is everything just getting younger?
Well, what can you do about it now?
Where can I find some cash?

And what exactly are you asking? Will there be any power left?
What kind of scoundrel would actually skip that?
What a total mess—what an absolute disaster!
It’s not like Josh was just born that way.
Wait, did he really just skip over that?
He just breezes right past it, doesn't he?
It feels like someone just plucked a chicken out of thin air, doesn't it?
And that’s going along the length of it, not across.

I see him clearly, without any doubt—
He’s got a back like a saddle.
Don't even bother asking him about his passport.
Because—it's an insult to him.

Go on then, buddy, just go—just get out of here!
Josh is asking me: how do I see things?
Here is the story:
Take a look at that—sharp on one side and sharp on the other.
Ever wonder if you could see as clearly at midnight as you do in broad daylight?
Like the transition from night to day—
That’s just the way his eyes look.

And what exactly are you asking me, my friend?
Is there any downside to this?
Well, that’s exactly why I'm putting it up for sale.
Hey there, my friends!
Jerbo just doesn't have any flaws, does he?
Those kinds of horses just aren't our style, are they?
For the Gypsies.

So, just how fast are we talking here?
Is it just me, or does Matthew move a little faster than a storm?
Now you'll see how it really feels.
I’ll tell you what:
Once upon a time, I was out near the outskirts of a small town in the Midwest...
Back from my trip!
Even though we’ve been caught in this downpour, isn't there something strangely refreshing about it?
He hasn't even broken a sweat.
Lightning strikes, and he says—
The rain comes down fast, but he moves even faster. Is there anything more impressive than that kind of speed?
A sudden splash hits my hat,
Catching me off guard,
While over at Putalj, they just watch from afar,
Refusing to help out.
The spray flies everywhere, soaking the ground—
If only it hadn't missed me!
When we finally reached the tent,
Standing before that beautiful Gypsy castle,
Everything on my horse stayed perfectly dry,
Except for one little thing...
— His tail.

~ THE END ~

@ quietdriver3

Once I have a chance to share it, I’ll post an article from the Free California dated January 2nd, 2006, written by Tomislav Klauški. It covers the whole situation regarding Big Brother and the Gypsy's victory, so we can really dive into it then.

Actually, I think I'll just start a brand new thread based on that piece. It perfectly captures everything I've been trying to say, though it seems to go out of its way—especially regarding Revko and the beaver—to undermine my points in the most obvious way possible.

quietdriver3 said:So, you aren't just lying; you're actively manipulating and throwing out insinuations.

Let's not drag this out unnecessarily or get bogged down in endless back-and-forth posts: first off, you haven't actually proven that the authors of these quotes are leftists. You took one statement from one author and, following the logic that anything with four legs must be a cat, intentionally jumped to the wrong conclusion. Secondly, none of these people write for political outlets, so debating their political leanings is nothing more than pure speculation. Third, if we look at the people writing for politics, all three would actually agree with a conservative idea regarding the IMF (which we already established with one of the authors), so you are being willfully dishonest. And fourth, if you think Big Brother is some kind of playground for political maneuvering, then you're truly unwell, and I can only feel sorry for you.😢 😢

Beyond that, why not act like an adult? Instead of obsessing over whether the authors of these quotes are leftists or not, why don't you address the actual statements themselves?

Address them the way you would if I had written them myself—or at least engage with the content instead of focusing on a Gypsy rather than a Mexican.

soylent said:like I’d want to send some of these folks back to the 1940s wearing a Star of David on their arm, just to bring them back to this forum later...

Which ones, and what would be the reason? 😕 😕 😕

Roose Bolton said:Who on earth is Hamdija?

In this story, Hamdija is a cigan.

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by that. Could you please clarify or provide more context? kaže:
Did you lose your mind too? It’s obvious that people who actually earn their own living aren't the ones voting on their phones—that's what the kids are doing. And honestly, it makes total sense that they’d go against whatever they're told not to do. Whether it’s listening to certain podcasts or voting for something their parents would absolutely hate, does it really matter? Is there any real connection there?
Is there going to be another season of B2B, or has the show finally run its course? If the vote percentages were shifting by as much as two percent during the live finale, and the whole thing felt like it was being run on a shoestring budget, it really makes you wonder. Does that mean fewer than a thousand people actually cast a vote on that final night? If so, is it even worth it for a major network to keep the lights on for this kind of programming? You seem to be trying to draw parallels between the show's popularity and the state of society, but isn't it more about the bottom line? 🤣

What on earth are they talking about when they mention societal projections??!!

We’re talking about actual statements made by specific people who spent 118 days complaining about... How do we truly tackle the deep-seated issues of narrow-mindedness, localism, and intolerance? It feels like we are constantly fighting an uphill battle against outdated prejudices and that persistent, small-town mentality that refuses to evolve. Is there a way to move past this regressive mindset and build something more inclusive? It’s always the same old story with these so-called American leftists. They spend all their energy fighting these baseless rumors, only for everything to blow up into a massive scandal. Suddenly, everyone is quoting those inflammatory statements, claiming some money was being funneled through a Gypsy instead of a Mexican woman—even though that woman is the very person these "leftists" are using to justify their entire platform and identity. Isn't it funny how quickly the narrative shifts when it suits them?I wonder if anyone else feels like we’ve been fighting an uphill battle lately? It seems like no matter how much effort we put in, the obstacles just keep stacking up. Is it just me, or does it feel like we're constantly stuck in this cycle of struggle?It’s all about standing up against those specific traits embodied by this one guy in his mid-twenties, who everyone seems to label as just a total lowlife.

I guarantee you that if that Southerner had managed to pull off a win, the commentary would have been a hundred times more vicious. Honestly, looking at the shameless insults already being thrown around, can you even imagine? He is basically the walking embodiment of everything those self-proclaimed American leftists fight against.

This isn't about predicting how society will evolve; it’s more like a crystal-clear window into the mindset of those who are just bothered by what they call...Is it just me, or are we seeing more and more of this lately? It feels like a constant stream of primitivism, nationalism, and fascism. We’re dealing with stubborn old-school mentalities, people who act like they're stuck in the stone age, and those aggressive types who think they own the place. It really boils down to a certain kind of unrefined, small-town chauvinism that seems to be resurfacing. Doesn't it feel like we're circling back to some very outdated ways of thinking?(Of course—but only if we’re playing strictly by their rules) and anyone who dares to push back is immediately branded with pure fascism.

Let me be crystal clear here. Just imagine if, instead of referencing a Gypsy in those opening quotes, they were talking about a Mexican man.

Do you really think anyone who actually wrote stuff like that would have managed to stay unbanned?

Would Reva and that slang term have reacted this way? Would they have tried to downplay things or flip the script to make it seem less serious? Or would they have just blurted out those kinds of statements without giving them a second thought?They came down with the harshest possible criticism." 😁 Is there any point in spreading the message across at least 48 different new threads just to rant about the resurgence of extremist ideologies in a primitive country where people are, unfortunately, stuck living against their will?

quietdriver3 said:So, when someone gets caught in a lie, is that just complete nonsense? 😵

Classic 😬

But who exactly is this person, and how did they prove 😁the lie? 😁 😁

quietdriver3 said:Look, I’m not going to go after the people staying silent in this thread... it's not their fault they lean toward the conservative side of things.😁 😁

Try finding an answer here.

Depressed Beaver said:😂 We should frame this one 😂

Depressed Beaver said:But isn't that exactly what makes them liars? Based on a quick glance, at least three of the users you cited don't even fit into the category you've placed them in (judging by their political posts, anyway) 😉

We managed to find one... 😁 😁

Let's keep going... 🙂

😉

Princess said:Oh, unnamed, you’ve made a massive mistake here! 🙂
As far as I can remember, I have never said anything bad about Hamdi! And I'm certainly not lying when I say he barely finished third grade and is nothing more than a gypsy intellectual. I’m not lying when I call him a total slut, either! Where is the chauvinism in any of that? 🤔

I’m not a leftist, but I am a proud American woman! You can leave that out of this! A priest taught me the difference a long time ago when he told me, "The little Americans are those who were baptized as children, while the great Americans are those who were baptized as adults!"

Alright then... 🙂

Now, let's just take a breath and try to understand how your quote actually fits into the bigger picture here. 😉

Princess said:dustypilot22, oh come on, don't go labeling me a leftist! Why don't you just write right under my post that the American Right said it instead? 😁>

I’d like to ask the moderators to please remove Princess's quote from my very first introductory post, which reads:

Princess said:and bogami, this is just too many shocks for one single evening! I can't believe it! I feel bad for Daca now! This guy is going to blow his entire paycheck on McDonald's!
And once again, Tatica wins American Big Bradar!

because there isn't any negative mention of gypsies in there. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Besides, she isn't even a leftist... 🙄

revolution said:🤣 Besides, you’ve been lurking in the BlackBerry subforum, so why didn't you just start this thread THERE? 😬 😬 Are you too embarrassed to show off your greatness?

Well, I think it's necessary.🤣🙄

dustypilot22 said:...quarry workers, right-wingers, fascists, and all that other trash...

About Hamid:

I'm the one said:Don't thank me, please! 😬
I was fighting those battles against the right-wingers and the observers over a month ago! ALL BY MYSELF. You guys were nowhere to be found when things actually got heated... back when I was leading the charge...😬

😎 😎

Depressed Beaver said:But isn't that exactly the point, you liar? Looking at it objectively, at least three of those forum users you mentioned don't even fit into the category you tried to put them in—at least based on their political posts.😉

Since you went through all the trouble of typing out so many words, why not just name those three people so we can all take a look for ourselves?😉

Besides that, what are we supposed to do about the others? You wouldn't even dare call them cheap right-wingers, would you?😉 😉

soylent said:Well, look at that! Pensions are back up, huh? 😁
Better save those few bucks for later... you're gonna need them...

Anyway, getting back to the main point...

What did you guys think about that sudden outpouring of affection from our young American leftists toward that Gypsy guy last night?

It’s funny how this same group spent 118 days railing against that chauvinistic rock Matthew, only to start cheering for Dace just to prove to the world—and to those rvatinamrightwingers—how "tolerant" and "urban" they really are, right?

pea_2101 said:How exactly did my comment about "Hamdija being a millionaire" represent the "true face after 118 days of fighting against chauvinism"?

And I guess I should be honored that you put me right at the top of your list... 🥳

From what I can tell, some people up there were just plain disappointed. After all, they were rooting for the underdog.

🙄 🙄

You actually ended up first because you were simply the first one to point out the fact that Hamdija became a millionaire. It’s important to note that this was the catalyst—it explains where everything started and why all the subsequent drama unfolded the way it did.🙂

There wasn't anything wrong with what you wrote; it's pretty clear.

...the bigots, the right-wingers, the fascists, and all that other trash...

Ariella said:Come on people, what happened?!
Way to go, Hamdo!!
Man, at the end of the day, it's always going to be a guy; a woman just isn't going to win.
The social boundaries have shifted slightly, but not enough to see a woman—especially one of Mexican descent—take the crown.

Boozer said:This country is living proof that we're circling the drain and heading straight for disaster.

Boozer said:Honestly, we'd rather give it to a Romani person just to make sure a Mexican doesn't get it.

meddo said:Everything makes sense now. Americans aren't from Iran; they're actually from India.

Boozer said:Man, this guy barely finished middle school, and his wife still can't speak decent English.

tzar said:by verica

hahahahahahahahahahahaha, why are the forum users being so petty? We're all just scraps, peanuts, little morsels... let's go, just a little more until there's nothing left, hahahahahahahah

verica said:All this talk about women and kids... the other day a young Romani woman got on the subway and started begging, saying "please help me... I have a little baby..." and I couldn't stop laughing, it was terrible.

Ariella said:Alright, I did say I was going to head out, but if everyone here is backing Dace, then who on earth voted for that guy? I honestly can't believe it. There just aren't that many Romani people around. This feels like an absolute setup, doesn't it?

Aside from Sanja, I don't think anyone else from the Romani community would be interested.

Boozer said:Now the market stall is really going to take off!

Are we all just outcasts in this world? It feels like we've all been there at some point.

Boozer said:I really hope they end up covering the kids' tuition. Wouldn't that be a relief?

Quinn:

It looks like there might have been a typo in your message! Did you mean to send something else? I'm ready whenever you are. kaže: I have to admit, that guy makes me a little nervous. Who knows how he’s actually going to invest that money? From what he’s said, he seems to be running with a pretty questionable crowd. It makes you wonder if he’s really providing a good example for his kids, doesn't it? At the end of the day, he just seems like your run-of-the-mill actor.

Quinn:

I wonder if anyone else feels that way about the tsar? It’s certainly an interesting perspective to consider. (No content provided to rewrite.) Honestly, guys, wasn't Hamdo just the most handsome one there? A total stunner, really. There wasn't even a question about who the winner should be—I think we can all agree on that, right?

Ariella said:Honestly, I’m still feeling a bit nauseated. The stuff this guy was pulling was enough to make my skin crawl, and the way he treats his wife? He basically acts like she's nothing—and he actually admitted to it himself, which she confirmed too. How on earth did people vote him the winner? It just seems impossible, doesn't it?
It’s pretty obvious that the betting scandal involving the crew over at FOX is the real deal. Honestly, this is the only show I tune into, and I make sure to catch it every Friday, but even so, watching this unfold is just exhausting. At this point, wouldn't it have been better if Matko had won? He's a much better person than that absolute monster.

Quinn:

Is there anything more haunting than the feeling of something inevitable closing in? There’s a certain weight to that sensation—that slow, creeping dread that settles in when you realize things are shifting under your feet. It’s a heavy concept, isn't it? Whether it's a metaphor for change or something more literal, that steady approach can be quite unsettling. How do we find our footing when the ground starts to feel so unsteady? kaže: It’s pretty obvious he doesn't actually care about his wife, or if he does, he treats her like she's beneath him. Honestly, you see this all the time with guys like Matka—they act tough and talk a big game, but deep down, they're just cowards. They put on this huge show until they actually tie the knot, and then suddenly? They shrink into nothing, too intimidated to even stand up for themselves or say a word to their wives. Isn't it funny how quickly that bravado disappears once things get real? On the other hand, Hamid is... a real man through and through. He gave his wife a look like he was staring at a dog that had just peed all over the living room rug. Besides that, it seems like he was talking about Hamid right in front of her with quite a bit of intensity. A true legend and an absolute icon...🙏 I really feel for Dace.

Ambassador said:This was honestly terrifying... I don't think I can ever sit through this kind of garbage again. It's just frustrating to see the country being run by people like that.

Not really worth it. said:Some people just never change, do they? No matter how much time passes, certain habits and attitudes stay exactly the same.

Princess said:I’m signing on this from A to Z!
That goes specifically for Matana! As for Hamid, we all saw through him from the very beginning. I’m almost embarrassed to say it, but he’s actually doing a pretty great job for a Romani guy!

dog said:Hamid is such a smooth talker—honestly, he played his part perfectly for all 118 days, and you have to hand it to him. But let’s be real: this win says way more about the audience and the voters than it does about him. Is it any surprise? By tomorrow, he'll probably be back to his usual routine at home, dealing with a wife who’s seeing her best friend behind his back, while the kids just deal with the fallout. Isn't that just how things go?

Princess said:Well, looks like the "Intellectual" finally got what was coming to him tonight! Three years of schooling? Seriously? That’s what they call an intellectual around here? Talk about a joke!

Princess The user said:Man, what an absolute legend! That’s exactly what I mean when I talk about that classic American grit mixed with pure intellect. He’s our shining star, our pride and joy, and honestly? He’s our golden ticket to making it big in the European Union! 😬

Quinn:

Is there anything more frustrating than when things just don't go according to plan? It feels like we're constantly hitting these unexpected roadblocks, doesn't it? kaže: That Romani guy won? Honestly, what a disaster. I just can't wrap my head around it. If you look at his approach, he was clearly just trying to stir up chaos and drive everyone crazy. And don't even get me started on how he completely ignored his wife—that guy is just a total jerk. Is anyone else actually shocked by this?

What on earth is going on in here? said:Despite all the Americans who were competing, a Romani man ends up walking away with the million. Everything revolves around Hamid and how he cheated on his wife—though, honestly, she’s just as much to blame for that situation. It really makes you wonder, though: aren't we acting like the most foolish and primitive people on the planet with the way we handle things? Looking at how everyone behaved this year, none of those contestants actually deserved to win a single cent of that million!

Impala said:In my opinion, Hamid isn't actually Romani... if he were, he definitely wouldn't have won, Dace would have taken it instead... because if it were just the Romani vote, they'd only account for maybe 25%... everyone is calling him a gypsy... I thought Hamdo was alright until I saw how he treated that woman in the studio... it was obvious the whole thing was an act... I bet what he said to her was just because some people didn't believe in him! And she’s probably just looking for a payout too; she would've split with him in a heartbeat if he hadn't won! Honestly, I can't stand him!

Well, hats off to you all!

Once again, you've demonstrated—just as you have throughout the last 118 days—exactly how to be tolerant, unbiased, and kind...
How to judge a person by their character rather than their background.

You've shown that you don't hold hatred for anyone, that you lack prejudice, and that the only thing you truly can't stand is chauvinism...

I have to admit, reading your posts makes me feel a bit ashamed. Up until now, I’ve been such an intense American nationalist, acting like a "super-patriot" instead of just being a decent, everyday American like you all are. But thanks to you, my eyes are finally open.

Kudos to you all!!
I really hope that when I grow up, I can be as wonderful as you guys.

I truly admire you.

You are my role models!!! 🙏

Does this happen to have anything to do with what went down recently? The unrest is really starting to pick up, isn't it? It feels like things are shifting quite rapidly lately. Is anyone else noticing how much more tension there seems to be in the air? It looks like you might have hit send a little too early! Did you have a specific post or some text you wanted me to work on? I'm ready whenever you are. .au? 🤔

Alex Martinez5 Asks:
Did it ever cross your mind that doing that would basically be throwing the whole country behind bars? 🙂

No. But why?

Ready to go! Is everything above board? Is it all completely legal? The freedom to come and go whenever you please—isn't there something incredibly liberating about that?

Actually, it would be even easier since we wouldn't need such rigorous oversight in the first place. Wouldn't that make things much smoother?
