You think you have freedom, you don't. For some reason, women must enter the workforce and compete against men. Why, so the government, corporations and the bankers can use you as work slaves competing against the opposite sex, that is not the sole factor in the division of people.

After what you said at 8:10 the reply you got at 8:18 where are the subtitles when the girl was probably calling you cheap. 10:26 introducing a porn star to them as queen MIND BLOWN. 12:23 i bet you presumed that they can't leave their house and whats wrong in having fun with your family and ignoring getting groped in some night club. 17:04 what actually hits you is they aren't into threesomes and in the end 20:28 you worry about them serving future husband but okay with a graduated women (monica) serving Bill clinton from under the table HMMMMMM

[@ccassidy9090]

Lawman It's not about what's better. It's about having the choice. If I want to stay a virgin until I'm married then I can do that. If I want to have fun at parties and explore my sexuality then I can do that. Plenty of women in the west do stay virgins until they're married, plenty don't. These girls don't get to decide. That's why it's wrong. (And personally I wouldn't want to marry someone without having sex, specifically because it's important and you might just not be sexually compatible. What if I want to have sex every day and they only want to do it once a week? What if I like a lot of foreplay and they don't? What if I love oral sex but they hate it? If you don't work sexually someone's gonna end up unhappy.)

Bulgarians don't sell women! Those are gypsies living in Bulgaria, not Bulgarians. Gypsies are not europeans either, centuries ago they moved into Europe as the nomadic people they are. Originally, gypsies are from north of India. "Roma (Gypsies) originated in the Punjab region of northern India as a nomadic people and entered Europe between the eighth and tenth centuries C.E. They were called "Gypsies" because Europeans mistakenly believed they came from Egypt. This minority is made up of distinct groups called "tribes" or "nations."

[@Vasil_Hristov]

TechNoir87 We have Armenians and other european people who adopted our culture and way of life and are perfectly assimilated like they should be. Gypsies on the other hand have been here much longer time, yet they resisted to assimilate into their host culture and cause only problems, like the muslims in Western Europe who make enclaves of their own group , culture, religion - a country in the country. This is an absolutely abnormal and unnatural way of existence. There are plenty of arguments as to why multiculturalism can never work.. even without considering the differences between races and their respective characteristics.

I hate the argument "It's just their culture, it's traditional", who gives a fuck if it's a tradition it's still disgusting to treat woman like less than human, it doesn't matter where in the worst it is. Men and woman should be held to the same standards, if you expect a woman to stay a virgin until marriage then you should expect men too as well. This is an extremely backwards culture, hopefully in time places like this will offer equal opportunities to both men and woman because we're all human.

Calm down "real Bulgarians", with Bulgarian they just mean people who live in the country Bulgaria. They usually used "Kalaidzhi" and clearly never said that this is a Bulgarian tradition. We all understand that these are minorities that don't follow Bulgarian laws / common cultural rules. Whether you like them or not, they're still technically Bulgarians.

[@inat4et069]

sorry but they are not. If you are for example a korean that lives in Bulgaria does that makes you a bulgarian. technically not. also those people invaded in the country and brake rules of the community. And when you actual charge them or try to go against them because they are doing things illegally they become scandalous and they combine as one and play the victims or even attack people for doing their jobs. I am very sorry but those kind of people are very toxic for one community. and kalaidzhi is not a like a minitory name its a middle name so dont talk about something you clearly dont understand.

[@03data]

I just typed "Bulgarian definition" into google. This was the result: "a native or inhabitant of Bulgaria, or a person of Bulgarian descent." Note the "or inhabitant" part. So they definitely are Bulgarian, and a Korean person living in Bulgaria would be Bulgarian too. Please stop creating your own definitions of words and then causing confusion for others.

[@inat4et069]

Paul den Hollander / 03data look idk what the search lead you to but if you really live in the country and see the problem you'll get my point. You just happen to be far away from it not knowing the full story judging by what you see but haven't experienced. Have anyone in your country that is seemingly not from there abuse a child , threatened a kid or beaten to death an elder? If yes then I am so sorry and I want to add that gypsies in Bulgaria do this all the time as a life time. They claim they want to live like other people in Bulgaria but they drop out of school earlier many times by their choice and start learning how to steal or how to fool people. They want more children so the embassy could pay as child support. Most of these people live in mansions while getting money from people backs. There are a lot more problems with them that you could not understand if you haven't lived with them. I will repeat myself by saying that there are some odds that work and feed their family with money they actually earned but those odds are small. We do respect those odds but we can't possibly respect people who don't do the same as they simple ruin the country. Also have you ever wandered where those women-exchange meetings are hold? That's right in the center of the nearest city which was not made for those purposes. If people try to stop the gypsies or even politely try to send them away they get aggressive and threatening. And because they come in large groups we can't possibly confront them as they'll simply beat as to death. There are so many unspoken details to this exact community that you can't know. And once again I'd like to say everybody is welcome everywhere but enough is enough and there can't be people living fine while others suffer from their stupidity and ego.

[@03data]

I don't see how that is relevant, because as my entire point was: That's not what they were trying to say at all. You're just taking offence at something where they didn't mean any. It sucks if you get judged by what others do, but that's clearly not the case in this video, and the fact remains that the word Bulgarians still applies to them.

We may not be showing off like everyone else does, but that doesn't mean we will accept such way of treating. Please check yourself next time!

Even though it is happening in Bulgaria it doesn't mean that these people are Bulgarians. Those are gypsies and their traditions and culture are very different from the Bulgarian ones .

[@ryansachio8906]

Yes we know that. May I ask: what do you think of gypsies in general?

[@odrysiann]

I can summarize them in one word .... leeches. That's my opinion of them

[@odrysiann]

Ryan Sachio Because the majority of them are exactly that ... leeches, who doesn't want to live like normal people, refuse to accept Bulgarian laws, refuse to go to schools and find proper jobs, refuse to obey and follow procedures regarding police and medical assistance, refuse to accept that they are a minority and not a majority and always want more and more. I mean why would a gypsy go and get work when he can leech of the same country's system he is so against that gives him a substantial amount of money for every kid he has. That's why they have like 7 or 8 kids and that's only in a single household. Now imagine a whole neighbourhood of them which are predominant in bigger cities in Bulgaria like Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna.

[@ryansachio8906]

vasil1406 Now I see why a lot of people hold prejudice against them. But the younger generation could possibly change their mindset.

[@odrysiann]

Ryan Sachio Look, I know well enough that not all gypsies are the same. If you put an effort and try to integrate them, I think it can work out. I should know since I live in a town in Bulgaria, where there is a Roma community living and they are pretty well organized. They work, they pay taxes as far as I know, they actually enroll their kids in schools and kindergartens and are contributing to society as much as they can. But I am talking about a small town with 24k citizens and a Roma community of like 3000 people. It works well here because they are a fewer than most Roma communities in other bigger cities where the situation is as I've explained to you.
