Oh, Crap!

In Europe, Roma are hated by nearly everyone right? I know the Russians hate the shit out of them.

Some people Welsh on a bet; others get off Scot free; but no one likes to get gypped.

Was Brad Pitts character in Snatch a Roma?

Tell him about the Swiss and the Swedes!

No, what I really need is for someone to educate me on the difference between Austrians and Australians.

The 2016 Pew Research poll found that Italians, in particular, hold strong anti-Roma views, with 82% of Italians expressing negative opinions about Roma. In Greece 67%, in Hungary 64%, in France 61%, in Spain 49%, in Poland 47%, in the UK 45%, in Sweden 42%, in Germany 40%, and in the Netherlands 37% have an unfavourable view of Roma.

If you want to signal virtue among leftists in Sweden you invite some random Roma people to your party.

One of the victims of the lorry terror attack in Stockholm was an elderly Roma beggar woman. She got one of the concrete lions on her legs which broke. She survived, was patched up and is now back in her usual spot. She was already semi famous having been one of several Rumanian Roma partaking in a play about the beggars on a theater in town. She also happens to be a holocaust survivor.

I see why people poop on your city.

On? I suddenly got a distressing mental image of pants-less Romanis flying around in jetpacks shitting on my fair city. And hey, they shit more in Copenhagen... can't object too much to that.

Nope. Irish Traveller:

http://www.irishtimes.com/news/science/ ... -1.2969515

The emergence of Irish Travellers as a distinct group occurred long before the Great Famine, a genetic analysis shows.
The study also indicates that while Travellers originally descended from the general Irish population, they are now very distinct from it.
DNA analysis allowed the researchers to track when and how quickly Travellers arose. This occurred between eight and 14 generations ago, with the best fit suggesting 12 generations or 360 years ago...

...

The study clearly showed there was no significant genetic contribution made by Roma Gypsies to Traveller DNA. This disproves a view held by some that the two groups were genetically related.

Known as pikeys because of their practise of travelling the turnpikes looking for work.

We have them here too. Though they basically just travel around and scam or steal from businesses. They are not as obvious here and can blend in pretty well. Nothing like you saw on Snatch.

I'm of the mind to take the law to the opposite extreme. Shit in the street? Bullet to the head

We've had this problem forever, which is really annoying because the solution are public toilets. I believe the Roman Empire had them about two thousand years ago. So although San Franciscans, and people in other California cities BTW, complain about it, nobody actually wants to put the money for building them into the city's budget.

It's a mystery.

Bitch, moan, groan, and complain about a disgusting, and possible disease vector, the city councils of more than one city cannot actually spend the money needed to deal with one of the most important, and accepted, responsibilities of a city's government that of waste disposal. And it's not like it's only street people who could benefit.

Fracking morons. The stupid is strong with them.
