History : The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

Lest anyone should forget exactly the impact of the regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/11370571/Loving-foster-homes-repaired-brain-damage-of-Romanian-orphans.html
Under Ceauseuscu’s communist state both abortion and contraception were banned, causing birth rates to rocket.

Abandoned children were left in filthy orphanages where they were often drugged and suffered institutionalised neglect and abuse.

The full horror of conditions endured by the nation’s 100,000 orphans finally came to light when the regime fell in 1989.

When the first journalists sent back pictures they showed malnourished or disabled youngsters, some tied to their cribs and others hobbling because they had never been allowed out of there cots to learn to walk.

Rescued youngsters were found to be socially, emotionally and mentally impaired with poor language skills.


I remember the horror and repulsion that was felt around the world when this was uncovered. Ceausescu and his wife were executed after being tried and convicted of economic sabotage and genocide. They were executed by Romanians Captain Ionel Boeru, Sergeant-Major Georghin Octavian and Dorin-Marian Cîrlan although apparently many volunteered.

Not something to be proud of is it?

Sort of related: And here in America, we've got people denying birth control and planned parenthood.

That article was so disturbing and so upsetting to see what happened to those children.

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

Those who would deny access to termination or contraception rarely consider what happens to the unwanted children after birth.

The Romanian orphanages show exactly what happens.

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

This is such a simple concept, and it blows me away that people don't think this all the way through.

What's curious is that for all these people denying contraception or termination out of a so-called "right to life," - what about (a) the life of the woman and (b) the fact that men can just walk away without ever having a consequence and © what are they doing to a young woman forcing her to carry a fetus to term, force her to give birth, and then tell me, just who picks up the tab for the next 18 years for the medical care, housing, education, nutrition, wellness, social interactions and subsequent life? "They" (the ones putting up a fuss) drop the rope and don't get involved in THAT part of it. Just in the part of shaming and forcing and denying. Everything after that? Falls to the female.

It's disgusting, and then we (as society) end up with a slew of children to somehow care for (with magical unicorn money and no parents?)….we all KNOW that an unwanted child will simply not get the touch, love, affection and care that comes when a family has planned a pregnancy and desires a child and is ready for it.

God, this just makes me sick.

Well you just summed up everything I feel about the subject.

I guarantee that nobody will debate you on this, because the can't.

EXACTLY!

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

Why isn’t any blame put on the people who had sex?

These people had sex knowing abortion and contraception were banned. Blame them, too.

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

Is this why the OP said to block her? Damn.. OK to be clear I'm very aware with what the regime did, I'm not OK with that, but I learned to live with it

I know about the orphanages, prisons, about Security, about the Canal, about thousands of lives wasted in the transfagarasan highway construction.. EVERYTHING

What exactly do you want me to say?

Well, this is a tomb. I'll make them feel at home

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

I know in your heart you would have done everything to help those poor children.

No need for you to say more. Sometimes our countries do things that are out of our hands.

So the bigger picture here, can you please stop with the phone obsession.

This one request from me would mean a lot to everyone.

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

Incredible! This is the real reason? You want me to stop.

Fine, I stop. But so you know, my feelings towards your country foreign policy remains the same

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

He admires Ceausescu, thinks he was a great man.

Using "Croft logic" any Romanian is responsible for the acts of their leader and deserves to be constantly harangued and vilified. It matters not to "Croft logic" whether or not you like your government or agree with any, some or none of their policies. "Croft logic" states that simply being that nationality makes you as guilty as them.

Therefore according to "Croft logic", Croft is responsible for Romanian orphanages.

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

As a human being, how can you even suggest that she or anyone here wouldn't care about abused and neglected children?

As for her using this to poke at Lara, it's about time that someone does that. He has been ranting and raving for a few weeks about other countries. Mostly the United States. He seems to think that all the people are responsible for all the bad that has happened in his country.
Dazed isn't a stupid person. She isn't suggesting that Lara is responsible, but she is giving an example of what was done in Romania.
After all of the "poking" Lara has done, he deserves one.

Let him rant about his precious phone. Let him rant about what everyone has done to him. This is the place! I don't have to read it any longer if I don't want to.

What do you expect from a gypsy? They can't be trusted to keep their word!

And before someone goes off the deep end and says I'm calling Lara names, Allow me to remind them that since All Americans are as crooked as our POTUS, I'm only firing back with the ridiculous notion that ALL Romanians must be thieving dishonest gypsys.
Does anyone with even half a brain here see just how ignorant and stupid that sounds?

I'm not trying to mess around or anything. Dazed is charging!

It's exactly the same thing. Explain how it's different.

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

Okay.
1.
Example One- The Romanian orphans. Approximately 100,000 unwanted children abandoned to die in terrible conditions due to a tyrannical regime. This actually happened in the real world, their suffering was real.
Vs.
Example Two- A woman who exists only in your head because someone on a message board told you she exists. If you're so sensitive that you're crying over the possibility that an anonymous woman's husband cheated on her. I think you ought to avoid society altogether.

Not.The.Same.Thing.

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

I mean this anonymous fictional woman could have at least killed a dog or something to take it over the edge of spiciness

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

For all we know this anonymous fictional woman and her equally anonymous fictional husband may have an understanding whereby he gets to bang pretty boys and she gets to have it off with the pool boy

Either way it's playing out like a Jackie Collins mini-series. Let's pray that ALislegendary avoids those, he'd be a blubbering mess

Re: The scandal of Romanian Orphanages

We have exactly the same relationship with everyone you just mentioned. They exist only because somebody else told us they exist.

I value all life; I don't need it to be mass suffering before I break out my hankie and quietly sob to myself. Yes, I'm a super sensitive guy.

It's fine though, ITTY assures me this will lead to mucho poosay, so I'm happy.

I'm saying that our relationship with all parties is no stronger than if they were fictitious.

You defended Ryan by dismissing that woman as fiction, when you and I both know you saw the thread with the pictures from his social media stream.

I'm the good guy here, since I care about random cheated wives and orphans. You only care about the orphans because if you had to care about the cheated wife it would mean upsetting poor Ryan the freak.
