Newlife:
Thank you cooper for trying to be politically correct. Eventually, we will all have to fix our typos too. You take this so personally as though you're related to Cynthia. Anyway, whatever I’m sure You're miss perfect and flawless. I don't ever engage in the forum fight but I guess that's not good enough for you.

Gypsy where im from are also referred to as unlicensed or neighborhood cab companies. The word has many uses and meanings. None of the cab companies are ran by romany ppl. In fact they are run by latinos and africans who are most likely not citizens but trying to make a living. Maybe instead of relying on google she should take a trip to nyc or nj. Along tourist areas and whole in the wall shops theres a woman young or old selling palm reads and telling everyone they are cursed. Go figure

I was simply trying to point out the use of a term that may not be correct for us 'gadjos' (this is how the Roma people call those who are not Romani) to use to refer to them. It's a little like the use of the N- word for black people: if they use it themselves, it's fine, if white people do is a slur.
Also, the word 'gypsy' should not have many uses and meanings. Would you like to have the word 'American' used to indicate shady businesses? 'Gypsy' at large indicates a specific ethnic group.
But I'll stop here. Those who are interested in learning more about the Roma people can do it by themselves.

Really wish u would find a real hobby...and leave this alone. Also stop throwing around the N word to try to make a point. We already u understood your plight so why cant u move on? Obviously youre from Europe so things are different. Nobody was meaning to offend u but u clearly have a easy time taking things personally...it was already said and done with LONG TIME AGO...like wtf...let it GOOOOOOO ...If ever i decide to go to romania i will keep this lil convo in mind. Til then im sure theres something better to do where u are, besides wasting time on this forum with info no one cares about.

But it does. You don't get to dictate what it means and how it should have meaning for other people because that is soooooo unrealistic.
Over time many words become interchangable and take on new meanings. It's just a fact of life and the economic atmosphere during which the word was created in the first place.
I've seen a few documentaries on Gypsies and many were protrayed as lazy, poor, dirty, nomadic criminals that did not want to work (god only knows how they had money) because many of them do. A few family members actually broke away from their traditions of being nomads and went out and got a job and a place to live without wheels. The smarter ones recognized that it was a ridiculous way of life.
Another documentary showed a girl trying to come up behind some guy at an ATM and stealing money from him as he was withdrawing it.
I have no intention of learning about Romi, Romanian, etc. people, but if someone says gypsy, (using it as an adjective), I would immediately know what they were referring to, regardless of the ethnic group.

....curious to know what cynthia did? inviting people to her house and asking for money for spells? anyone care to share more details?
Wishful Thinker:
For me, I was told that if I paid her over 1500 dollars, that my POI would be mine in 30 days. I became hesitant because I don’t believe in spells nor would I want to be with someone I would have to put under a spell. She told me I had a curse on me which is a big red flag for me. I guess she got the vibe I wasn’t interested and stopped communicating with me.
It’s really sad that there are those who give Psychics a bad name. Please don’t let her actions leave a bad taste in your mouth.
