Chilling on brain drain --

ALL this from a newbie less than a month old with 27 posts?
Some of your sage advice may fall on deaf ears when you start calling shari names.
You may have read a recent post by shari on this thread but you have NOT been around long enough to know her love of Mexico, or her family, or her
Mexican citizenship status.
So, consider lurking awhile before making general and sweeping generalizations about Mexican issues and noMads posting here.
I defend Mexican women (shari), children and Torgugas. I am ZorroLee.

Geezus. Eh, memo? You need to back up, regroup, and get a grip. What does your diatribe have to do with MX fatigue? Snobs in Marin County?
YOU come across as a know-it-all knowing NOTHING about Elizabeth or Stinson Beach real estate.
So you lived in Mill Valley? You know NOTHING about people here and your broad-strokes about Baja are suspect.
If you want to discuss real estate in SoMa or Noe Valley, let me know u2u.

What's your point? All I see is a bunch of lamblasting of folks defending a place they love. You want them to shut up and stop that?
So you are trying to get the truth out? Then don't accept support from liars like the Palmster.
Well, at least you've got others to help you spread the bad word. Good job.................I guess.

Been down Baja way a time or two.  It's a special place. It gets better the
further south you get from the border. And even better when you take side
trips east or west of Hwy 1. Hwy 5 is an adventure.When you get down to Cabo, it's time to turn around.

After reading the recent posts on this forum, the back and forth about Mexico lovers vs mexico "haters" it seems to me the issue can partly be
explained as Mexico Fatigue. A sort of ennui experienced by expats and frequent visitors to Mexico. Why, after all, can't the Mexicans pull it
together and provide basic human rights, police protection, drinking water and gas piped to each residence, mail service and good education? Why
can't the sewers accept toilet paper? Mexico is rich in natural resources and blessed with a hard working, ethical population. But it remains, at
best, a third world country.
I believe most Americanos are simply bored with the failure of Mexico to live up to it's potential. We are tired of the excuses, i.e, "its their
culture, learn to love it" and "if you don't like it, don't visit" etc.
When will Mexicans come to grips with reality? Why is the main street of every burg in Mexico named "avenida Revolucion" when the people don't seem
to have the guts to actually conduct a revolution anymore? I''ve been visiting Mexico for fifty years and frankly I have grown weary of the excuses.
There are many wonderful countries on this planet that have decided to honor human dignity and rights where the people live in freedom and grace.
Why Mexico is not one of them can be argued all night. Many of us simply don't care anymore. |
ok i was trying really hard to not post on this issue but you will have to understand me as it is my home country that you are talking about....first
of all the fact that mexico is a third world country is one of the reasons that many people still come here!! after all why come if it was just
another big city?? please please pleaaaaaaaaaaase don't tell us to get it together because (and this is not said to insult anyone) i know many mexican
people that have it more put together than alot of tourists i have met in my short but full life time...i have been around tourists since i was born
and thank God that most of them have been extremly nice people but there are also the not so nice ones. YES mexico is a third world country and who
cares if it doesn't like toilet paper thrown down the sour pipes! i agree with what you said my mom said that if it's so third worl then....and i do
not mean this as an insult...why bother coming here...and when you ask when will mexico come to grips with reality guess what pal this is our reality
and yeah i will say get used to it and love it as it is, maybe it does have more potential and it is a very rich country but it is what it is and yes
it is getting better but things take time as everyone knows on this board and yes they take more time in mexico, hey you want mexico to get better??
pay a poor childs school, get some one of the street, donate to schools and education, come and give a police seminar for all i care why do you want
to make mexico in to a little U.S. it's not and i am sorry to disapoint you...i am aware that my words may sound agressive but to be completely
sincere i am really sad and hurt and yes angry that you comment on things like that as if no one knew the situation mexico is in...i know as well as
anyone that there is alot to do but the fact that you complain constantly and don't do anything is not going to help! the only thing you are going to
get is people to really dislike you and i am truly sorry that i am beginning to be one of them. and please don't talk about mexican people not having
guts when they work their butt's of every day to take a efw gains of rice home to their family, they take risks when the cross the boarder legal or
not, they have the guts to make people like you feel at home in our country even when they know that alot of tourists will turn their backs and say oh
stupid mexicans oh they don't even know how to read oh they don't have this or that...let me tell you that mexicans are the bravest people i knowand i
am sure tons of people on this board will agree, they may not be rich and stuff like that but...the work through hard stuff evey day and i am proud to
be a mexican..and to all the people that are true baja lovers and understand whta i am talking about please take no notice of my "agressive" words...i
am sorry if i can not put this another way and i am sorry that baja nomad board has become a board where this kind of talk is present, i do not mean
to offend you but this is how i feel...mexico and it's people may be poor and not have all the services you want but it has what it has and bless the
people that understand that.
Live life as well as you can,
don\'t regret the things that once made you smile,
learn from your mistakes,
and thank God for every second he gives you upon this earth.

I am a firm believer
that baja is in dire need of a much better educational system.
Until then I don't see much hope.
