Because trust me, we tried everything in Slovakia, and the problem is that also gypsies don't respect other Slovakians. Of course they are the same citizens as me, but I paid taxes all my life and I try to be a good law abiding citizen. I deal with them with respect, however they don't treat me (or other non-gypsies) in such way. They usually want something from me (money) and when I refuse, they curse me and spit on me... is it normal?? Politicians here are so afraid of being called racists that they rather chose to be blind and forgive them almost everything, while supporting them with free money and debt forgivings - I call this a discrimination against non-gypsies people, I don't know how to call that otherwise. I know you try to see non-gypsies as the root of problem, but you probably don't know the situation from first hand, because you've never lived in such country (I'm sorry if I'm wrong)... we suffer a lot, it's not easy. In fact it's so hard that I really consider to move from Slovakia - but don't worry, not to Finland
. I hate seeing all my tax money going to the big black hole, simple as that, I tried all I could...
Thank you Ywetka. Believe me your warnings on a criminal subculture does not go unheeded. There will always be con artists but none quit as organized as those connected by intermarriage and family ties. I don't want you to think your warnings are falling on deaf ears. It's not the case. Some people need to reinvent the wheel to understand it but such is life.
I don't know any Finnish gypsies and Finns don't seem to worry about them these days. When I first came to Finland I was fascinated by the ladies' beautiful clothes and long hair but now I am used to it. Only once had some Finnish gypsy ladies robbed my anoopi (mother-in-law). They needed a cell phone and she was too much in a hurry to lend it. So they gathered very close to her and stole it, they took out the memory card and put it in their phone. My anoopi tried to get it back but they pretended it wasn't them. It magically disappeared within the last 10 seconds. This happened on the entrance to the metro station and ended up on the train. I felt so badly for my anoopi because it made her cry in frustration. She is in her 70's.
Another interesting subculture of criminal activity is some of the old time motorcycle clubs. Kathy Reichs, author of the character Bones in books and the TV show studied up on them. They are extremely organized. They get their women to work in Govt agencies (especially as clerks in police stations) to give them a heads up on any trouble, or to phone homes to find out when families are usually not home so they can break into the house. They are involved in theft, drug sells, and prostitution.
They are motorcycle clubs such as Hells Angels or Banditos. I'm not talking about the motorcycle clubs made up of weekend warriors who are accountants and IT professionals on the weekdays.
Interesting story about the Helsinki Banditos. They could not get past an associate membership to the Banditos. After a bazooka was shot through the Helsinki Hells Angels club they immediately got their charter membership with the Banditos. Pretty cool story. You can google it. Of course they were completely innocent of the act.
I hope one day for a Utopian world where people can feel confident when I am rude to them, it is because of something personal. It's not their looks, religion, height, weight, etc. It's them who are tap dancing on my last nerve
Best Wishes
