Hi A.J.

Yes, I forgot about the way dogs are treated. THAT was addressed in one of the documentaries too.

Yes and also punching toddlers (boys) in the stomach to toughen them up to box and fist fight when they are older.

Oh god. I used to work in my father in laws bar and we got a group of travelers in and this huge guy did this to his young (maybe 7 or so) son. Then threatened to shoot my husband when he chucked him out for it. It was a weird dynamic with that group though, not sure if this is common but they seemed to have one 'boss'. he was much older than the others and actually got the younger guy to come in and apologize for his behavior. Though his behavior to my husband was the least of our concerns tbh, the way he treat that child was horrific

can we all be able to bring our negative anecdotes to different culture threads? just wondering! I have never seen a thread about one incident attract so many negative remarks with no censure, traveller culture is not one I admire but then I don't know much about it it apart from all the negative press

Now imagine what would happen if a transsexual traveller tried to go into a women's toilet. I'm not 100% sure but I think the earth would probably be sucked into a howling hell dimension through a rip in space and time. And there would DEF be infractions.
