I am not sure if you are expressing genuine concern or if it was a cheap joke, but either way it is utterly disrespectful, I don't suppose you would say the same for a nationality like American despite their obviously very high levels of poverty resulting in beggars on every US street corner. And by the way, the Bulgars were a tribe in the 7th Century, modern day Bulgarians are not necessarily descended from Bulgars, so please use Bulgarian when referring to the nationality, that is if you genuinely "mean no disrespect", thanks. He was exactly right, the bloody underground was full them, and camping out on a memorial site! He was being very truthful, nothing to do with disrespect. Sent from my SM-G920F using Thaivisa Connect mobile app It always nice to get another viewpoint from someone. Its educating and humbling at the same time.

"even Jesus didn't think much of the Philistines or indeed of any non Jew but he did have a thing for Cheese makers" Sorry, what are you on about there?

Oh, I did actually, but what has Jesus got to do with it, and what has Jesus got to do with Jewish feelings characterized within the Old Testament, for that matter? You appear to be all mixed up!

But all is not as it seems with the Romany, the people you see on the ground begging, robbing, prostituting themselves and all the other associated problems are more often than not Sinti gypsies who are enslaved by rich Romany families, they really need to be helped but no one wants to as they think they are the problem whereas the real problem lie in mansions throughout Europe. Nice to hear from someone who understands this stuff. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As were Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Coincidentally, this impressive collection of well heeled countries makes up a third of the countries in the visa waiver programme!

huangnon Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Maybe Bulgarians get visa restrictions waived as a goodwill gesture from another kleptocracy / mafiocracy country.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
