Just curious as to what the escapists communities views are on this...

Normally i try and be understanding of Traveller culture but when i see stupid, selfish, and dangerous crap like this my ability to be understanding erodes

I really hope they got arrested for that, it's just plain dangerous.

I'm not particularly fond of Travellers, they are a shady bunch, plus they own caravans which means I automatically dislike them.

Dunno, might be promising but the graphics look kind of bland. I wander when the demo comes out, I'd like to see the controls.

I've never been fond of painting a whole community with one brush.

These people, however, are idiots.

Indeed.

Every single interaction I've had with gypsies has been unpleasant.

I know there are some good people among them, but damn, I haven't met one yet.

Coming from the southwest of england... when gypsies roll into town it tends to be a nightmare. Alota people get beaten up to, never pick a fight with a gypsie you may well win, but his 3 brothers and 12 cousins are around the corner waiting to smash your teeth in.

Maybe its just the ones around somerset/dorset and general southwest but i have yet to meet a nice gypsie.

Well, my sister took it on, and I guess you can do some really crazy stuff for the one's you love. Even if it means being tied in to the gypsy lifestyle.

...they do live in a house though.

I think its fair to say that you can't tar them all with the same brush its just a shame most encounters people have with them tend to be unpleasent :(.

Travellers are a bunch of ethnic Irish chaps, while the Roma are who the term Gypsy usually refers to.

Often incorrectly made out to be the same but they aren't.

Definitely no wheels...

He's more of a Traditionalist (he's Romani), and he is always rambling on about how Irish Travellers give his kind a bad name.

I know it's the internet, but you can still offend someone, intended or not.

I found that somewhat offensive to be quite honest with you, considering my family members share ties to the gypsy community, but seeing as you apologised, I'll let that silly comment slide. :p

Public perception of Gypsies is incredibly outdated anyway, so it's no surprise that you feel that way.

Thank you, i have a tendancy to speak before i think i'm just as bad in person, but i will always apologise if its upset someone :) and as such i am sorry for being offensive.

Unfortuntley as i said the dealings i have had with them havn't been favourable which is a shame as i tend to get along with everyone, cheeky thoughtless comments aside :).
