Can’t stand gypsies

@PepsiColaP I travel often, yeah. I'm very far from rich though. My family is not wealthy. You're mistaken if you think I have a lot of money. I'm not impoverished, but I'm not even bougie. Years ago I was very poor. It was only through the charity of others, and the extremely dedicated hard work of my father, that I was able to make enough money to live like a normal person.

I used to steal from people because it was all I could do. I wasn't allowed to go to school, I wasn't able to get a good job cos I had no educated, and I wasn't able to get a crappy job because employers told me to take a hike. So I started stealing, or at least conning. I used to scam people with stuff like three card Monte and whatnot.

These days, I don't really have a reason to steal, but I do it still when others accuse me of thievery. Which happens more often than you might think. It makes me so fucking angry when someone tells me that they think I'm a thief even though I no longer am. I think that, if they're going to call me a thief when I'm not, I should give them what they want. It's obviously what they made their mind up to be. So I let them have what they want to be true.

@BlueMetalChick huh. so if what you say is indeed true, then maybe you should seek psychological help. I mean if someone calls you a murderer will you go murder someone? Kind of toxic to blame all your unhealthy impulses on others.

@PepsiColaP My desire to stay out of prison would probably prevent me from actually committing a murder but I can certainly say I would entertain the fantasy. If someone told me over and over that I was born as a killer and that my actions in life couldn't change that, I undoubtedly would feel a desire to prove them right. Again, I wouldn't actually do it because it would mean I'd spend many years in jail, and I guess also I'd have to consider the fact that to kill another is exponentially more egregious of a moral failing than stealing from them.

@EuphoricTurtle snap....see my comment.

@vorian It's pretty insane to say such a thing when the title itself is [i]Can't stand gypsies[/i]

"I'm not racist but...I can't stand gypsies" 🙄

@Ryannnnnn so annoying

@JeanAnna Well, we're denied employment, legally not allowed to attend public schools, and we can't enter government buildings like post offices or libraries. We're also prohibited from public sector jobs. Basically, we're told to fuck off and die. So what exactly do you expect us to do?

@BlueMetalChick I'll take your word for it, because I have never known gypsies or if they are treated any differently than the rest of us. But that aside, people should act with decency at all times, there's never any good reason for anyone to act like was mentioned in this post.

@JeanAnna I guess it's a matter of who is going to be the first to give the other a reason to believe that something different is possible.

@PepsiColaP Yes, now later in life. I'm referring to before I left my homeland. NOW I have an education. NOW my life is a lot more stable. Again, I'm not wealthy or especially well off, but I live like a normal person. I own a house, I have a job, I'm still in grad school actually. This wasn't the case for a long time.

@BlueMetalChick I also have Romani gypsy blood...iam clearly not speaking of blood or ethnicity....um well done for having a job? I was on the defence of gypsies so I dont know what your appearing to be offended by

@MushroomFaerie I was saying that at the comment above yours.

@BlueMetalChick I was talking about your actual clan, can I join ?

@OfflineFriend OH 😂😂😂 I thought you meant a clan tag like in Xbox Live since we were making MLG jokes.

@BlueMetalChick lol, that would be a good clan tough

@wildbill83 🤣😲

@meJess We don't actually want to. But what else is there to do when you're not allowed to attend public school, you can't pay for private school because you're too poor, and you can't escape poverty because nobody in the continent of Europe will hire you for a job? We're legally prohibited from being employed in public sector jobs in a number of European countries. In some nations we can't even enter government buildings by law. So, when you're told you can't get an education and can't get a job, you start stealing or ripping people off. Because what the fuck else are gonna do, just starve to death? Waste away in a street gutter?

@BluntSm0ker I do wonder about that myself.

@BluntSm0ker like a train wreck 🙄 on an endless loop

@Sroonaka616 We might mix a little better if you didn't keep telling us how uncivilized we are, and also prohibiting us from attending public schools or holding jobs. What the hell do want us to do, just die off?

@ViciDraco You are correct. We're not even allowed to attend public schools in a lot of countries.

@BlueMetalChick it's definitely not something that is an easy issue to resolve these days. We're looking at centuries of mistreatment and distrust. A few good gestures isn't going to be enough to win anyone over because it will be viewed as a trick at worst or temporary at best. There would be to be a long term trend of acceptance fostered.

And frankly, half the charges the OP leveled at them are also problems I see crop up in suburban whites in the US.

@Complexconfessions love them. They can use some help in their culture as well

@JS1992 omg...
what will they say about Jews?

Is it ok to beware with this stuff?
Reminds me of the slam book stuff (people calling out individual members to praise or blame) and the forced tolerance stuff..like putting up with the fetishes and similar idiocies in the service of good manners

Better manners is raise the level of conversation.

One thing I learned from sociology studies is that abused cultures barring strong mitigating factors...will act out stuff that's happened to them, individual families do that too...

Is stealing about taking back something? Ever wonder if these people ever maybe felt cheated too? Not excusing, and I won't tolerate any attacks 4 speaking out.

@RodionRomanovitch yes, one of my friends is a gypsy in fact.
