Show us the picture of you on fire, that would be very amusing.

hm? i was never on fire
Well damn.
Could you do that? And then get a picture for me?
probably at some point soon
i'll make sure that if i do that there is a photographer present who knows that his or her job is to document, not intervene
Awesome.
I look forward to it.
I assumed it was in shadow and behind his back for the very same reason. I've only just noticed it's not.
is it because of his arms?
Well.. arm, really. I'm not sure what the other one looks like.
i am disappointed that my arms are not up to scratch here
Better break out the dumbbells..
Or wear a really tight bracelet so your veins stick out... that's hot.
gwahir i'm glad that one guy isn't you, cause his pant's suck.
oh
i mean we have had ethnic gypsies living in my home town. for example some long time ago some roma family had a viewing at a funeral home, and apparently they took this as an opportunity to have a big chicken feast. the room was completely trashed afterwards.
also my great-grandmother never returned to italy because a roma fortune-teller told her that she would die over water. it turned out that she died while sitting on a steam-heat radiator, which is ironically filled with water.
oh and i've seen them begging all over italy. for instance, i remember seeing this one woman looking so forlorn when she was begging for money, but then another day smiling and playing with a child. i don't know why those lousy people just can't get fucking jobs instead of taking up their "traditional professions" of begging and stealing. yeah, there's terrible racist attitudes toward them, but unfortunately a lot of them do conform to some degree to their stereotypes.
I don't want to get into a big rant about how much I hate Romanians; So let me put it to you like this:
I trust Cubans more than I trust Romanians.
That's right, Cubans.
I'm getting my haircut much shorter on friday so this is the last time I'll look like Jesus (till I let it grow far too much again).
romas =/= romanians
Also, I'm hardly being fair... the greater crisis isn't how a lot of gypsies are being stereotypically criminal and... err... mendicant. The greater crisis is the great deal of difficulty gypsies have integrating into society and how marginalized they are, and obviously the latter issue is related to the other. They are still the target of surprisingly racist campaigns that smack of practices which most people would think have been phased out against ethnic minorities in the 20th century.
I was just being glib in my above post. Nonetheless, if these beggars are the most visibly and obviously ethnic gypsies, they just help enforce the stereotypes against them.
shut up nerd nobody cares about gypsies
