And giving them homes is practically dooming those homes to be used as stables for their horses and mules.
They generally use them for a while and then discard them. I think its best to accept gypsies as they are, they cannot be changed unless they are forced to do so.
This is a matter I have to stay out of as much as possible, since I'm really biased. The Finnish gypsies are unfortunately one of the biggest group to get government subsidies, while they try to avoid as far as possible to give anything back. Most of the organized crime around here involves this particular group. And I can't stand their chauvinistic and highly religious values. But, I still think it's not the proper way to ban a whole demographic, because still, there are decent gypsies that have done nothing to deserve such treatment. I can however agree that there will be no change as long as things continue this way.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
