Has anyone here ever spoken with any gypsies in Europe?

Question

What happened when you appoached a group of gypsies and tried to start a conversation?

Answer 1

They're the scum of the Earth !

Answer 2

Whats your point? I know two finnish roma in sweden, they are nice but keep to their own mostly. I also know an ashkali, he dont consider himself roma, he was a summer employee at my work place , worked very hard and very good but also thought he was Gods gift to women. Nice guy though.

Answer 3

The are actualy very friendly and honest people.

Answer 4

Actually, it was the other way around.  When I was in Paris, I was approached by gypsies who were trying to rip me off.  When I was a kid, there used to be a lot of them in the city where I grew up and they used to do the same thing.  It would be rather interesting having a discussion with them apart from being ripped off though.  I just don't know how you would go about doing it; maybe if you turned into a werewolf?

Answer 5

some live just down my street, they don't talk much, but are genuine.

Answer 6

Nothing much. What exactly do you mean?

edit: It's not like I've had a discussion with them, but they seem pretty friendly and chearful where I'm from (Macedonia). They always sing when they pass my street

Answer 7

I've never seen gypsies where I'm from. I live in Ireland and I don't think gypsies are very common here.
