I just don't get Roma. There is no use for them, they refuse to be a part of any society. I don't think they deserved to be burnt for it but I don't get why they are like that. There are a few here in Athens who have settled down, kids go to school and have proper jobs. I'm good with those but I can't stand the others who are around begging and stealing and dragging around their poor infants. It's unacceptable.
Are you serious? The Roma are an incredibly complex and diverse society with a number of main branches. Just because their style of living doesn't fit into your rather simplistic view of what is 'normal' right and proper doesn't mean it's wrong. You are perpetuating the myth that all or most Roma are begging, theiving losers who don't give a damn about their kids. Get a clue and get an education.
