Though I doubt it would make a difference, "Hecho en Mexico" labels aren't usually included with purchase. Besides, everyone appreciates a bargain. :rolleyes:

OTOH...

Mexicans who own and operate the cartels know exactly how their actions are destroying their country. ;)

Culture of pride? What a bunch of baloney. It's a culture of victimization. They won't take responsibility for anything they can blame on us.
It's always been that way. Blame the US so the people won't blame the ones who gave them their problems....their own government.
Screw that.



YOU GO DENNIS.

Maybe its a cultural issue, but i frankly can't understand what all the fuzz is about. Did i lied? did i said something that isn't true? i mean, this is binational problem right? supply here and demand there. Why is is it soo bad to say that the US is not spending enough? when it isn't?

I just don't get it. I am constantly reading truly nasty UNTRUE anti-mexico things here and i don't complain, but i state a fact, and i have an attitude problem?

:?:


I don't think I wrote anything anti Mexican here unless you're referring to here as this bbs. I have an optimistic outlook but I can't do it alone just about everyone has to do it. simply put we need to be aware of how we are being governed and have a say. not be bought off freedom is priceless.

we'll have to agree to disagree on the drug war who's to blame and who isnt. yes consumers are to blame but when an entire country appears to be a willing participant in moving the product to market then they must also pay a price. I am not in agreement with this personally but its history repeating itself.

basically you can't have it both ways...certain things out and certain things in there is no control at the border to prevent these things. Mexico has a problem with guns from the US but the $$'s are not being complained about. tourists must submit to police state road blocks (ratanes) going North but 're just waved in with a big smile coming in. explain the logic in that.

Mexico should make "drugs" legal, tax and control them. Then at least we the regular people would benefit. But just the opposite is happening. A few benefit and more benefit and live in fear but vast numbers are victims of a lessening economy due to this unnecessary fear.

If drugs were legal in Mexico your restaurant would be full every night. Cool thing is that so would all the others and you'd be having a great time. and guess where the violence would go to?

google- chicago prohibition area

if I am correct also look up Tijuana during the prohibition years. you'll find that was the golden era. look what we have now!

i say that the US keep the money and we make our own laws here.

I posted the wikipedia list because I found it last year.
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuerza_A%C3%A9rea_Mexicana

i didn't even read jesse's post just looked at the planes.

One morning I saw three of the small swiss planes flying in formation a few times over town. They did this several times one morning and again in the afternoon. The following day I was sitting here looking at the islands and I heard a noise so I went outside to check. it was a c-130 flying low approaching from the north it looked enormous! i knew it was a big transport plane from airshows and air force museums I've been to so after watching it land I looked it up online and found that link. fuerza aerea mexicana (can't spell) was painted really huge on the side it was cool as hell to see.

the planes came in ahead of hurricane jimena and immediately went to work along with some fast helocopters. no doubt trucks of troops were transported to mulege ahead of it. there's no stopping a Mexican military humanitarian operation it is so impressive. they stood in front of the bank that was on a generator, put emergency power on the tortilliera, water purification plants, and the hospital. new orleans don't happen here. this is something to be proud of. chasing around cartels with death tolls mounting each year in a losing battle is not.

for what I can remember we've had several major natural disasters in the past year. the earthquake in Mexicali, the floods in tabasco and veracruz, landslides, sink holes, torrential rains throughout the country (except bcs). the military comes in and helps alleviate much death and suffering during and immediately after emergencies.

sorry this conversation went into the toilet but check out the planes on wikipedia photos and details are in a table its cool.

i'll be happy to debate the drugs and guns issue but that's another topic

Weather or not? Weather!! And yes, if Mexico legalized "drugs"they could TAX 'em and be rolling in CASH. Tourism would go off the scale. That would be the smart thing to do. The drug cartels are paying BIG money to see that it doesn't happen.

Las Californias

like the name? its the name of my new imaginary country. california alta cedes from the USA and the two states of the peninsula also cede from its bloodsucking nanny government and we merge into one country. GREEN industry will be our main source of income and we truly will have GREEN jobs and a GREEN economy. don't just think about the psucotropic qualities of the GREEN stuff also think about the other products of hemp...hasta petrolio en serio we could fuel our c-130's and our cappuccino machines. "drugs" would be another enhancement of the economy and will be legal and controled. only consenting adults will be allowed to buy them and they will be taxed accordingly. shall we start designing the flag?
