I don't feel that personal experiences should automatically be assigned as cultural traits. Types of people and personalities differ everywhere and just because a Mexican helps you change a flat tire, doesn't mean they all will.
Some tend to see all Mexicans as kind and generous of spirit, but not all share that trait. To look upon a people as kind, generous and well-behaved is, in my opinion, arrogant. We give them a stamp of approval when it's in no way our place to do that. Some only assume it's their position in life to judge, but I'm willing to go all in saying that, if Mexico were a wealthy nation, our stamp of approval wouldn't be used so freely. It wouldn't be our position to accept them when they arn't in our employ.
The question then turns to, "Do they accept us?"
Many with our level of personal wealth don't and they won't be changing your flat tire either.

Is it so easy to ignore the threads here that depict some Mexicans as gruesome killers? Maybe they just don't count.

Welcome back.

Your right DENNIS! All we need now is JR :cool:

Hell of a lot of trolls in the past day or so. I just love it when one tries to take a sentence out of context. What's the matter soulpatch and Dave (?) ...didnt get any last night? :lol:

I post a good ol positive topic....and you little beef steak owners have to rip it apart. Gods...what a bunch of whinny burro trolls

[Edited on 3-10-2011 by mcfez]

Sure, I got some, had a nice structure fire until 3 this morning.
I was hoping what I printed would be taken in the right context. I guess not. my whinny self
:o


Takes a man to confess. Thanks for confirming that you are a whinny troll . Perhaps you and your buddy Dave should read the post again...understand what was really said. Oh....but you guys wont.....you're too busy whinny about stuff that's not even in the post of mine. Out of context dudes. Such as both of you.

Sorry about your nice structure fire until 3 this morning,soulpatch.

Was that the only cardboard box home you had?

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Dennis, I for one am very uneasy with your story, as it happened a year and a half ago in my community as well-the owner was not home and they doped up her dogs and robbed her-our guards are not going to do a thing when a truck load of cops pulls in and who should they call? The cops?
Do you know if they were identified as estatal or federales? Thx
