my experience isn't extensive. The father of a parent couple I'm friends with is 2nd generation Croatian living in the USA who visited Croatia to see his family recently with his wife and kid. He's the one who punched a cop in the face and got off with a day in jail. He himself has drinking issues when he's there so I suppose he's just flocking to his kind which might make it look like theres more drinking going on over there than there really is when the wife tells me how things went over there. She was saying there was so much drinking going on over there the school system needed to raise the kids, but I'm not totally sure the context here because she was able to send her kid to a catholic school for pretty cheap monthly. She was talking about either socialism or communism over there. But she also said while they were there, someone tried to host a gay pride parade and all the faggots got stomped and beaten up by the locals with extreme prejudice, so that's cool. Perhaps she cant fully understand what's happening over there because she doesn't speak Croatian, and I don't because I'm getting random info from her experience/perspective.
