Hitler offed 400k of them I do believe.
Obviously didn’t get them all.
You have different measurables then. I should mention I’ve had various encounters with European (native) immigrants and visitors to the US over the years. Like I said earlier, arrogant elites. You would think people from lands with poorer, stagnant economies, with less economic and personal and religious freedom, with repressive and stultified political leadership, and so on, would be a bit more humble when pontificating on America vis-a-vis Europe. If I go to Europe, I expect it will be with a volunteer expeditionary force to drive out invaders and their quisling allies and to recolonize portions of it. But I’ve looked into that and frankly the climate there mostly sucks. You’d think they’d be fully in favor of global warming rather than rabidly fighting it.
I had a great time in Europe.
You can ask many Freepers on this forum. They had a wonderful time as well.
Enjoy Europe while you still can.
I’m sure I could find mountains to climb and forests to explore and lakes to kayak. But there is more of that than I can explore in my natural lifetime within 200 miles of me.
Gypsy.
Two friends and I were in Europe the last two weeks of July, on a Princess British Isles cruise. London was yucky, hardly anyone speaking English. Ireland and Scotland were OK. (Of course, we were mostly taking ship excursions, except in Edinburgh where we hopped on, hopped off.
The thieves are probably gypsies. This is how they operate. I know. I’ve seen it and been the victim. They send women to do or young girls 14 years because they are released by the police.
She looks like a Roma...
When I was 19 way back when and going to college in New Orleans, I had bought a quart of beer and poured it into the mandatory milk type paper carton so I could consume it on Bourbon Street. I paid with a 50 dollar bill and stuck the folded bills from the transaction into my Levi’s right front pants pocket partially exposing the bills.
As I was standing on the corner of Bourbon and Saint Louis Street I noticed a small framed black man approaching from across the street, as he got close to me he threw his right arm up in my direction causing me to flinch as his left hand grabbed the corners of the bills protruding from my pocket. I don’t know why, to this day almost 55 years later, I instinctively reached around my back with my left hand and grabbed the guy by his clothing not knowing that he had grabbed my cash and pulled him close, I was 6’3” strong corn fed midwesterner, but I knew he had tried something.
He immediately handed me my money and started apologizing before he received the obligatory beat down. Except, I didn’t beat him down, I gave him a choice, give me all the contents in HIS wallet or get the snot beat out of him before I called the NOLAPD.
He complied and gave me almost 300 dollars and I turned him loose. Along with a warning that if I saw him on Bourbon Street again I would call the cops and tell them you just pickpocketed me, and I told him he was a master of his craft and I had learned a valuable lesson.
Today, he probably would’ve stabbed or shot me.
