I don't know David. Were you happy with the apartheid system in South Africa? Them darkies got to have an income working for the güeros. So what if
they lived in squalid slums in a caste-system society?
The issue, in case you cannot figure it out, is as JR said. The gringos want to be IN Mexico, but not be a part of Mexico, while all the while
professing how great Mexico is.
Ask Gypsy Jan or Krafty why they live in Mexico but run up to the US every week to do their grocery shopping, buy their clothes, see their doctors,
etc. Mexico is good enough to live in as long as they are behind a guard gate with a guard who will not let any old Mexico in. Then they rationlaize
it all by saying they dropped a few pesos in Mexico. |
Before you get too up on yourself for being a high and mighty social justice guy, remember that I knew jrbaja and Carol, personally, been to their
home in La Barca, and they lived in a GATED 'gringo' community. It was the source of much pleasure that he could get under all of our skins by acting
like he lived amongst the 'common people' of Baja. So, why not halt your name-dropping of the dead to push your agenda of hate against Americans of
light skin.

Well, it seemed the only way jenny can understand things is for her/him to play the race card, like her/his comment: "Them darkies got to have an
income working for the güeros..."

The horror! The horror!
The persecution of white Americans must stop!
DK: I can't imagine the unspeakably horrible discrimination and persecution you white men have endured! The world has been so unfair to you light
skinned Americans!

Well David, let me tell you what you DON'T know. Yes, when you met jrbaja he lived in a gated gringo community. But, when he moved in to La Barca, it
was an ungated community of mostly Mexicans. Then the Los Angeles gringos he so often railed about moved in.
Now the old man who owned La Barca was getting on in years and he had 15 children. A sure sign of trouble ahead. The old man had his youngest son
manage the property, and the kid didn't have the huevos to stand up to all those LA gringos.
The first thing these gringos did was demand that the owner put in a gate to keep the Mexicans out. Then in short order they wanted contracts, fences,
and leases.
The family wanted to eventually develop the property, so in order to defend what the LA gringos thought was THEIR property rights, they hired a lawyer
and formed an HOA. The lawyer took their money and came back after awhile and told them they were now a legal "social club" registered in Mexico City
and there was no way the old man was going to develop the property out from under them until the property was distributed to the 15 children, which in
Mexico can take generations.
Some of the people at La Barca did not join the HOA/social club (it is not mandatory under Mexican law), so those new LA gringos started to make
trouble for them. They said the non-payers were drug dealers and called the police on them a few times.
One of the new LA gringas tried to break up a dog fight between two dogs that were not hers. She hit herself in the knee with a baseball bat. So she
sued the owner of one of the dogs, a gringo, in Mexican court and was laughed out by the judge. Being resourcful, the new LA gringa used her
homeowners insurance policy from the US to sue the other gringo dog owner in the US.
The Mexican family that owned the campo got fed up with all this and told the LA gringos to not pay rent, just get the hell out. But they stayed.
Their HOA lawyer set up an escrow account and they paid into that.
Now nothing can get done the old way by just working things out among themselves. Now it is war. Lawsuits are everywhere. The family is fighting each
other, the tenants are fighting each other and the family is fighting the tenants.
And this same, or a similar story is told about other campos.

Where?
If you're speaking of La Barca, I'd hardly call it that.
BTW, most of that place was razed several years ago.

I kind of expected Von to be joining the discussion by now. Maybe he has a real life.

Jenny, you don't know JACK about me, so stick to what you know. You seem to be filled with negativity and hate, and why is that? This is supposed to
be fun and informative, and all you try to do is beat people down. How about trying to be positive for a change?

Not too sure about the fun part, but it IS supposed to be informative. How about trying to be HONEST for a change? Somebody is going to believe your
BS and get seriously hurt.

What an insulting negative old man you are. Do you even know any of those people? How do you know they are drunks, because they are
having a drink and eating lunch?

I have a visceral dislike for drunks. The reason I know them is because I used to serve them. That, and because I used to perform music in the bars
and restaurants they frequent.
I'd estimate that +30% of the ex-pat community are alcoholics.

Well, I guess I am one of them and so are about 90% of the people I know, so I still don't know what the point is. Also being in a restaurant drinking
and eating does not mean people are drunks and you sir, were in the wrong business if you dislike them so much.
