Yes Mexicorn ....regarding your great reply....something is very fishy.
When we retired and sold the family home we invested a little in Baja and a lot in the US. Had advice about living and buying in the US from the
American Embassy and did everything that they advised.
Guess what?
The rules all changed after 9/11. We even became legal ALIENS.
So as legal aliens we discovered when we tried to sell up the government wanted a 10per cent withholding tax. Not on what we were going to get after
costs...... But before costs. Bet you born and bred Yanks don't know about that one! What with the recession and new rules etc we lost a hell of a lot
of our hard earned money. Some of our American friends told us that they were ashamed of being American. Others didn't believe that it was really
happening. Our New York Lawyer said he was powerless to do anything for us.... The law had changed.
Please don't try to put us off Mexico. For eleven years she has treated us really well. We are so pleased that we invested in our home here and
following good advice the land it sits on was bought and paid for, by us, in the name of some honest Mexican people, who we are proud to say are our
good friends. We understand that land rights are a can of worms but our property on that land is ours, our families or anyone else's that care to buy
us out.
If we lost everything in Mexico it would still be less than all we lost in America.
Who is it that seems determined to give Mexico bad press and what do they think they will get out of it?

NANCY DREW:
Do you have a tourist related business losing money because Canadian tourists are going to Mexico instead of spending their money with you???
or
do you have another hidden agenda to desperately try keeping people away from Mexico????
just curious.

Targeting Canuckials
Targeting Canucks in the Crosshairs, taking Aim and unleashing Shots is simply too much fun to pass on, although it is sort of like pointing fun at
Retards.
But, they are such a tempting target. After all, people so dumb that they forget to close the door on their submarines before submerging aren't
really very bright.
I hear people complain because the Canuckians get something of a free-ride on defense because the U.S. is their guarantee but, on the other hand,
wouldn't it be kind of scary if THEY had an effective Armed Forces and could make some REALLY serious mistakes that might affect all of us ? Better
to keep them semi-harmless.
Canada is one of those countries that is so nice it's too bad it's filled with Canadians.

You idiotas can be afraid or informed. Your choice.
I've observed a lot of xenophobic Canadians in Baja CA - I agree (for once) with BillM.

The gentleman who was shot took a round to his right knee from an AK....he is doing well, plans to return to Mexico as he is a regular visitor....and
still is considering moving there or at least buying a place.
Don't think he is "living in fear".
The guy is from Penticton, BC, appears to be in his late 60's or early 70's.
Cool attitude....doesn't sound too xenophobic to me.
Not like some folks dissing Canadians 
Don't believe everything you think....

Well its to be expected here on Nomads, its what 95% American? And types like MrBill are basically misanthropes anyway so you expect it from them!
But its kinda sad really that people so readily dis Canadians seeing as we are their closest neigbors. Sad too that god forbid you be even slightly
critical of American attitudes then they jump all over you. It seems to me Americans are too thin skinned when it comes to observations of their
attitudes. We know so much about them and they know so little about us!

Misanthropic MrBile ?
I Don't HATE Mankind. I don't even HATE Canuckials. They have "Some" favorable traits. Like speaking English. For the most part.
I'm sure that there is another trait, too. Just can't think of it at the moment.
The feeling is one of Dislike, at most.
I look upon them as I do others in the Special-Ed Remedial-Learning Class. Just a lot of Fun to Pun.

Poking Fun at the Retard Class
The marooonsAmongUs ?
Back in the 50s-60s they were often (Poorly) "main-streamed" in the Government Schools and were a REAL Drag on Class Progress.
But, I always looked upon their presence as an opportunity for generating Mirth at their expense.
Some of my friends thought that was a bit over-the-top even in an era when most everything was still OK for poking fun. Unlike current PC days.
But, they laughed.

Just thinking that when some cracker from the low desert seems to feel entitled to dump on Canada, it's probably because he doesn't have a clue that
the population of Canada is just slightly over 10% of the population of the US. So when complaining about defense and stuff like that, what should you
expect? Maybe he should do some reading, if capable, and find out that, among other things, the Canadian banking industry is in much better shape than
that of the US. That said, perhaps the only oddity I find with Canada is that they fundamentally allow an entire province to officially operate in a
different language. Is Quebec that strong an influence over all of Canada?

Government Schools
Is the one I prefer as a MORE ACCURATE description than PUBLIC Schools which are really not owned or controlled by the Public who send their children
there for Indoctrination.
Private schools could better be described as Public.
As they are in Great Britain.
And, as far as Canada's relative size versus their Defense Budget, regardless of their population size, it has historically been far lower as a
percentage of GDP. Figures for 2008 list the U.S. at 4.3 and Canada at 1.3.
The reason they can spend so little is that WE (the U.S.) are their guarantee of Safety.
Most Importantly, though, I am NOT a LOW-Desert Cracker.
I live in the HIGH-Desert (and Baja) and it's my EX-Wife (now Diabetic weighing 300 pounds in a wheelchair and hopefully in excruciating pain every
moment of every day for the rest of her life) who is a (Georgia) Cracker.
