Forum societal and cultural ramifications
Some think that by engaging others philosophically that it does not warrant the time to read it or believe it. Especially when the dialog is in
cyber-space. A deep subject indeed. AS a stimulace for debate on current subjects we enable each other to espouse their/our wisdom. And then we play.
Does the dialog cross cultural borders and barriers? Are we unwittingly adding pious and prejudice or is it the other way around.
We can ask ourselves and others questions not easily approached or answered in everyday verbal America here on the forum.
Does this shorten the societal and cultural distances.
Do you feel more or less welcome in Mexico because of all we say.
Do you feel more or less inclusive.
Does this forum enlighten your attitude about Baja.
Are you more or less comfortable with authority figures in Mexico now that you've heard so much.
Can you or do you envision the people and their society any different now as an informed Nomad.
If you answered any of these, any way, than it has affected your attitude. Thanks to a common thread we all share, companionship, we do postulate and
we do react.
The best part being every response is unique and has the posters personality behind it.
Have they changed your mind?

There is one or two things that can be learned from these type Forums,
Profanity;
Who likes Porn
Who likes to Smoke dope
Who is Hateful
But the most important thng we learn is that Baja is our love no matter How many different people go there, we learn How diferent we are in our
reactions to Baja, we learn the Beauty and the Ugly, but most of us Learn.

I could give you a list a mile long on the things I learned about myseld and the Mexicano People while living in Loreto, but Sir I am concerned that
the Youngins of Today would not in any way understand "What I am talking about".
The main thing would be "compassion"
Nex,t How to be Happy while being Dirt Poor.
What it means when a "Person speaks for another and what is expected in Return"
Question: Can anyone on this Board define the Statement about One person Speaking for another?
Also Example.

It just cost us 950 pesos to register our oldest daughter in kinder garden. Plus the cost of uniforms. Not a major expense for us but imagine
being a single mom with several kids. Education can be quite costly if you have three or four kids (not uncommon) and your making 700 pesos a week.
Keep Mexico weird

on if we are talking about the "me" on the forum or the "me" in real person. Cause it seems sometimes as if I am defending someone else here, maybe my
alter ego.

gringos
well i thought gringos were the only ones who came down here and made asses of themselves (as JR put it) until easter. when the mexicans from the
mainland come over to vacation. i have never seen so many inconsiderate, rude people since leaving the states (and i know i am going to get this so i
will say now yes, i know its there country). But quads going by my house all hours of the day and nite at 60 mph, leaving garbage everywhere, drunk
& loud. when i aksed them to slow down on the road they responded by going faster. miles of places to ride and they went up and down the road all
the entire week. so its not just the gringos, you dont have to be a certain nationality to be a jerk. were they all like that, no ! just the ones i
encountered.
Want what you have

Why can't we all just get along?
because we are all different.
But, just because we don't agree, and we argue, sometimes even heated!, I think that we all do some MAJOR learning on here about many things as
Skeet says. Including humanity.
I think many on here would be surprised at the number of people I have argued with (almost everybody!) on here that have become friends after
meeting in person.
That's because I don't find politics, dead seas, gringo enclaves and who lives in them, drunken arrogant P-nches, egotism and all the other do do
that we argue about more important than humanity itself.
And that's at least what we should all at least try to be. No better and no worse than any other humans on the planet! Even if they do happen to be
republicans!

Bravo JR. I am glad you delineated between debate and pure hatred. I am afraid that a few would not understand the relevance of partaking without
malice intent. It seems some only reply as such. Some can't see through the smoke and fire so they just point their nozzle and fire blindly.

I mean in the Mesicano culture. What does it mean when One Mesicano Speaks for another; It is a common thing, happens all the time.
Muelg Marv. I have witnesses the same thing at ensenada blanc on several different Week ends including Easter.
The people from Villa constitution come over and take over the Beach for a Weeks Party, they make more money so they can buymore Toys.
Tolorance;/In tolorant?
I was intolorant when I was surrounded by about 15 large Sharks while trying to catch Yellowfin tuna 35 miles out in the Sea Of cortez. When they
started bumping the Panga I proceeded to Bop them on the head. Intolorant.
Tolorance-- when I have to explain to people that I find the word "Gringo" offense.
when I have to explain to people that "Profanity is ignorance Made Audiable".
I appreciate the Tolorant People on this board who forgive me for my bad spelling, even the Intolorant who do not forgive me.

Examples
"I mean in the Mesicano culture. What does it mean when One Mesicano Speaks for another; It is a common thing, happens all the time."
There's a couple brothers who work with me down south. One of them (once doce) now has a cell phone. They met some girls at a dance in Los Barriles
and Louis, (the shy one) gave one of the girls the phone number.
The girl called and thinking it was Louis started talking "stuff". Apparently she really liked him.
Now, 11 - 12 being the kind considerate brother took full advantage of this opportunity to show this girl how outgoing Louis really is. (Not!)
So, this was going on on a daily basis and this girl is really getting to like Louis. 11-12 and I are absolutely loving this spectacular
opportunity.
Unfortunately for you guys, and me, I had to make an unplanned journey to the north before Louis and the girl met again so this story is "to be
continued".
But, I see what you mean Skeet!

The internet is a funny thing. People can slander others, steal from them, and still come off as "the good guy". Meanwhile, those that fight back,
make valid points to explose those that do such things for what they are, can be widely construed as "full of Hate".
With that in mind, how the el could anybody consider what goes on here anything more that mental self gratification.
As probably the only original poster, 1994, from amigos de baja who still follows what goes on here on the web, I say, don't worry about what others
say or do here too much, everything changes face to face.
Yes, Mike H and Zac. I posted on amigos a year before there was ever a general discussion. It started out as just a fishing site. FYI
