I myself have met one or maximum two decent, hard working gypsies out of 100. Sorry to burst your pink bubble of idealism. You live in Croatia, you should know better (or maybe they are just a Hungarian disease? nah, can't be..)
Btw, I didn't say anything about his looks, which is not my type, but not bad.
When one person refers to a specific ethical group, he/she is obviously not referring to the individual members but to their society as a whole. There might be a few honest and hard working gypsies who don't deserve to be treated as such but they are the exception to the rule. Their society is quite deservingly known for its criminal lifestyle, just like Americans are known for their closed mind. There are Americans here in this board who obviously don't fall into this category, but just ask Bodomite what he thinks of Americans. Hell, just ask me what I think if Portuguese people. I was born in Portugal and I'll be the first to say that the typical Portuguese person makes me sick.aleta said:hm...narrow-minded people...make me sick...

I coudn't agree more, gypsies are like a plague._Zsuzsa_ said:Thank you for saving me the trouble of typing that myself.
@aleta: Gypsies are look down upon everywhere in the world for a reason. Yes, there are exceptions to the rule, but they are still exceptions and while it's sad, it's not racist or narrow minded in any way. Pure facts.
Chances have been given, child support have been given, houses have been given, but instead of schooling, they theach their kids to steal, lie, cheat and even kill if it's necessary. None of these things have been 'forced upon them by the society' as you say. Why won't the immigrant chinese do such things? Go around in gangs and stab old ladies, steal their money? They have as low standard of living as the gypsies, but you know what do they do differently? For them, hard work is not smelly.
