To be honest,
i doubt that the sunbathers really noticed they were did. If they were covered, they could have thought that they were simply lying there, not wanting to catch the sun. stories shouldn’t be twisted like this to make people seem like horrible creatures. you have to look at the deeper reason.

Randal – Good point, bu then they’d have to see the kids’ faces . . .

Deanna – Agreed. If they had to go to the beach that day, re-locate to another area FAR AWAY from the bodies.

Ky person – Coming from part-Hungarian descent, I find that pretty disgusting.

BZ – But I thought Europeans were the most tolerant culture on earth! /Snark.

Captain – It would certainly not apply to these two slobs.

Ky person – Right after Germany elects a Jewish one.

Insol – That ER story still bugs the Hell out of me.

RT – They should have told them they were from Canada. Just keep ending sentences with, “Eh?”

MikeB – These two particular Italians are despicable people. And I use the term “people” very loosely.

I can attest to the fact that the gypsies are despised here in Italy. Whether that explains the picture, I don’t know. There’s also a live-and-let-live (no pun intended) attitude that borders on apathy. I don’t know. That image is absolutely revolting. Whatever the full story, however, I don’t think wholesale condemnation of Italy and a generalized view that Italians are heartless is called for. Before you blast me, Wyatt, I know you didn’t say that in your post. It’s some of the commenters that seem to be leaning that way.

I had students on a trip to Italy get mistaken for gypsies. They feared for their safety.

But we are the barbaric animals in the U.S., right? This reminds me of the dead baby girl in the gutter in China that people just passed by.

Sick.

his is why the Euros loved the Clintons. Selfish, sociopathic, egocentric narcissism is a common trait over there. Of course, the infection has spread here. H.T. This recent post by Wyatt. As long as the cameras are rolling the 'compassion' will be flowing.

Oh yes. I enjoy reading British and European newspapers, until they get oh so sanctimonous about Obama.

And when will you have a Black Prime Minister? Great Britain, Spain, France anyone? Bueller?

Remember that the next time someone tells you how “Enlightened” Europeans are.

If I’m not mistaken, KYP is completely correct.

Some of my friends have been to Italy and they tell me that Gypsies are despised there, simply despised. Most Europeans look on Gypsies like they are untouchables.

Apathy is one of the lowest levels humans can sink to. It shows an unbelievable hardness of heart which is very scary.
