    It's even gypsy girls usually, they will draw a heart with some rubber on your windshield so you give them money to finish the job. The boys on the other hand are scavenging metals. Just a lovely bunch really.

    I forgot about scavenging metals. Yeah that is what they do. Most of the time I see gypsies is in some parking lot, children jump on cars while mom is standing aside, usually holding a baby in arms and begging.

    It's funny because I think that Europe and most places have their own version of "rednecks"- it isn't unique to America. I think of a lot of Polish people as being rednecks or Germans who are drinking beer in the Alps.
    There is a difference between redneck and country people, however. Rednecks are mostly rural, but country people are not necessarily redneck. Most people can't make the distinction. There is also a connection between Southerners and being "country", but it's also a kind of loose connection. The South prides itself on it's more provincial ways. The North is provincial but tries to hide it.
