Gypsies in villages?

stepool1970 · 2015-05-19T15:44:44+02:00

Hi I have just come back from a visit to BG, I have a house out in a village. A village that does have gypsies in it, now coming from the UK I am no stranger to gypsies here, in all fairness they keep to themselves, and this is the same opinion that I have found in BG I am aware of them but I am no threat to them? Therefore I feel a little concerned whenever I hear something said that is demeaning towards a person is fair to judge people on the acts of a minority? I am not trying to be naive here everybody knows that an apple cart could have a rotten apple in it. But on my initial judgement we can live together rather than throw up a protective screen around ourselves. It is just my opinion that I wanted to put out on the forum? From what I've seen they work hard and look after their families something we all want to achieve? I hope it can raise a few responses hopefully positive ones?

Why are you posting on this Bulgaria forum while you have nothing to do with Bulgaria

Why shouldn't he? I post on a number of other parts of this site, because I am either interested in what it's like to live there or I have knowledge to share about the country in question. 🙂

Obviously, it's up to you if you feel that you need to report Fred for some of his admittedly rather puerile posts, but I have to say that in my view it's a bit OTT. What's wrong with him sharing his views, even if he's clearly a virtue-signaller who sees "hate" and prejudice whenever he meets someone who dares to see the world as it is rather than how Saint Fred thinks it ought to be? The real world is big enough for everyone to say their piece, and talking is better than fighting - even when the virtue-signallers quite happily stray into the territory of bigotry in their unthinking haste to appear holier-than-thou...😁

@JimJ

Given the passive-aggressive nature of his posts, and that is mildly put having in mind his comparison with Himmler and accusation of certain people being racist, I was/am curious what his affiliation with Bulgaria is.

Mr. Know-it-all Fred seems to have a tendency to be rather provocative on quite a number of sub fora, spanning from Sweden to Australia and everything in between. This paints a picture. One can have a certain level of knowledge, but not all knowledge and on top that maneuver on the moral high ground berating people who he likely never met or ever will meet and sticking vile labels.

People like him trigger me to no end as this type of characters seem to get their satisfaction in deliberately stirring the proverbial sh.t...
