Madonna booed in Bucharest for defending gypsies

[DontSayBanana]

None of which excuses the violence against Gypsies seen recently.

OK, well, how about the violence BY gypsies recently? Tamas was mentioning a few vigilante groups who were stopping pretty much everyone passing through who weren't gypsies.

Perhaps but then we dont beat our gypos up. You have to ask the easterners about that.

No one is saying that it should excused. I believe they are saying that there are legitimate issues regarding gypsies that lead to the violence.

[Josephus]

Cecil, you have to be more specific.

What do the gypsies do that is so wrong?

You be the Judge...

My sister works as a manager of a bar in England. Gypsies will come to town every few months. They'll come into the bar and their leader will come to her with a wad of cash and basically say this is what the gypsies are willing to pay for all the drink, food, and damages that they will do that night. The bar either accept it or not because they are going to do what they will regardless.

That's pretty nice of them to offer up the cash up front, really.

[KRonn]

Wow, you Euros do seem to have lots of problems with Gypsies!

Not being a Euro, my sister gave them shit the first time they came in when she was working. Apparently it impressed them or maybe they found Americans funny but they always have been polite to her and made payment since.

Well they had to find someone to replace the old ones.

[Josquius]

I'd say this is more predjudice against overly rich Americans telling them what to do than against the gypsies.

[Habsburg]

Well it's no wonder most of the Balkans joined the Axis.

[Valmy]

No, Gypsies are the old Gypsies.

Most?  Bulgaria and Romania are most?

[Barrister]

Well it's no wonder most of the Balkans joined the Axis.

Most?  Bulgaria and Romania are most?

And Hungary.  I think that is most of the Balkans, since only Yugoslavia was left.

Or does Greece count as the Balkans?   

[Razgovory]

Well it's no wonder most of the Balkans joined the Axis.

Most?  Bulgaria and Romania are most?

Hungary too.  Also Croatia.
