Is that all you have to say? And i guess including insults in Spanish makes you feel... smarter? more intelectual? clever? funnier?
Come on... sincerely... what's the story with the agression?

Once again, I invite you to read my post on "enlightenment". The situation in MX is sad, but all countries have sad things damaging others all over the world: From stock markets and Hollywood to nuclear dreams and international politics.
For that matter, all we have to do is watch MTV or watch some Hollywood to see "enlightenment" is, once again, a black & ...[text shortened]... hite, good & bad sight... a sad, pathetic one.
Edit. Read the edit on my previous post 😉

You find no insults in my posts nor repeated formulas; only reasoning that, right or wrong, is the product of my own thoughts. Not your case. I trully think you provide no strong, original arguments at all... and keep with the insults.
Insults, by the way, are an easy way out for the lack of arguments and reasoning. Trully not an "enlightened" person you are, right?
P.S. Using words in Spanish doesn't make you look funnier or more clever, really. Take my sincere advise, please.

I have a better task for you, more interesting: Let's compare the tourists of the same type, Mexican businesspeople compared to U.S. businesspeople, American families going to MX for a nice week and Mexicans families going to the U.S. for a nice week, etc. etc. Now that makes sense. Trust me, I know something about research in fields of social science 😉
Do you see what I'm trying to tell you?
Edit. Perhaps you should pay more attention to the posting style of 'sonhouse' who, funnily, you disagree with but do not insult gratitiously as you try, childishly, to insult me... just for a passport?
Nationalism, a true disease, indeed 😞

Originally posted by chancremechanicTHe problem WORLDWIDE still stems with Asslinger, since the US is the defacto economic power in the world and has been since the end of WWII, it was the US policy making that caused the rest of the world to fall in line, that and the fact that the tobacco industry controlled all of the money in the first place. The money to continue the farce that is.

Originally posted by SeitseI apologize for calling you a "burro", but I still think Mexico is riding the coattails of the US because much of the $ made by illegals gets sent back to Mexico. In fact that is the third leading lift for Mexico's GDP after oil and tourism. I'll stop using Spanish; I'm trying to learn it, so sometime I lapse into writing it...not trying to impress anyone. The US has bailed Mexico out several times economically the past 30 years when the peso fell flat on its face. Look, my best friend here in CA. is Mexican ( I know, you don't want to be reminded of my Mexican ties...sorry). When thousands of fans screm "Osama" and Americans see this, it is analogous to Germans screaming "Hitler" to the Israeli football team in Berlin. There is NO reason for fans to act like this. It is a direct reflection of the true Mexican psyche towards America, and many Americans, including myself, sethed when they heard about it. Is that good for neighbor-relations? Vicente Fox didn't even apologize to Bush, instead he called his national team and congratulated them on their victory. There are plenty of hard-working, assimilated Mexicans living in the US, and I love the Mexican people in general, but there are also many who just want to live here and benefit economically, and when the chit hits the fan, they march with their Mexican flags. I am not against diversity, as I said, I'm learning Spanish so I can communicate with them in my profession and on the street. I am the son of an immigrant/refugee, but she came here legally, as I believe all aspiring migrants should do. Is that serious enough?
And of course you won't even bother thinking if the U.S. has been a good friend of Mexico, right?
Open minded, reasonable persons, tend to think [ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF A GOOD REASONING] to ask themselves "what may be the cause of this?"
There is no justification for killing millions of persons, like in 9/11, Americans, Iraquis, Belgians, Italians, Germa on, promise you will think about this post, seriously. It is no pun, mock or anything else.

Originally posted by SeitseIs MecHa and La Raza nationalistic? What about the La Reconquista agenda?...Aztlan?...yes, nationalistic agendas are a bad thing when it threatens a "Balkans-type" future. I see rich/middleclass Mexicans in San Diego all the time driving huge SUVs. I only called you a "burro", which I have apologized for. I apologize again.....to you personally, but not to Vicente Fox or a government run by "Osama" fans....

Originally posted by chancremechanicNot true. Remember that football stadiums are not precisely packed with the brightest, most peaceful people and it's a place where passions overflow (once again in stupid nationalistic babbling, since sports are sports and shouldn't be mixed with national pride or shame).

It is a direct reflection of the [b]true Mexican psyche towards America, and many Americans, including myself, sethed when they heard about it.[/b]
They are like the people who danced in the streets after 9/11 in many parts of the world. It is not fair to judge 20,000 Mexicans who see the U.S. as a huge bear that everytime it moves splats the little ants, even without wanting to do so.
I recommend you to see those people screaming 'Osama' as persons that stupidly let out their anger against the White House, the huge U.S. corporations, the State Department and the CIA... NOT against the common American.
Come on, you and I are common American and common Mexican. Our real enemy is not each other, but the following: (a) U.S. Government, (b) Mexican government, (c) American businesspeople, (d) Mexican businesspeople. Thos twats don't care about us, they don't care for John Doe and his unemployement after the car factory at Detroit closes and flies to Mexico, nor they care about the environmental damage in northern Mexico, and are corrupted as corrupted as the Mexican authorities can be (and heaven knows that's a lot), nor they care about hiring illegals, etc. etc. etc. etc.
But, hey, you already know my opinion: John Doe and Juan Garcia are the least guilty in this sad puppet show.
Edit. I don't justify the distrust many modest Mexicans feel towards the U.S., but I think the U.S. has done many things that drive people in rage (invasions, puppet governments, etc.) and that people do not want to hear about geopolitics, strategy, international politics, etc. They just see Marines in TV doing things (also thanks to Hollywood). However, from distrust to hate there is a long road. I can assure you the majority of Mexicans (don't judge for the border, which is a cesspool) like and make foreigners feel like in home, not only Americans. Not for free Mexico is considered a great spot for vacationing because of Mexican hospitality, taking the security issue aside.
Originally posted by SeitseI agree with you and feel that we are approaching a common understanding, which is what we should have done earlier, except my passion overcomes my brain sometimes...what would have been a nice gesture by Mexico would have been VF telling the American people what you just told me. I'm intelligent enough realize that the ones yelling that hateful phrase were hyped-up and emotional idiots, but I also realize that "true" feelings come out sometimes during emotional bursts, and when the Mexican gov't did nothing to reassure the American people that it was, in fact, hooligans, I took that as implicit approval by the Mex. gov't, as did millions of Americans

Originally posted by chancremechanicYes they are and they suck, at least in my very personal opinion.

Apologies accepted, by the way. No offense taken.
Originally posted by chancremechanicVicente Fox is not exactly the brightest crayon in the box. Actually he is a 'burro' like all the corrupted, poisonus politicians we have [I do hate them and will never defend them]... here is a bit of personal life I don't like sharing but I think the moment is right: I was there in Monterrey, in a 'palco' (don't remember the translation but I think is booth or something) with other Mexicans and my dear friends David, Nick and Michael (Arizona, Seattle and Texas in that order).

I remember feeling ashamed and buying the beer all the game (sigh), after apologizing. Dave [married with Mexican and living in Mexico since 1989] said something I will never forget: "Hey, no worries, this is not the Mexico I know anyway"

Originally posted by RagnorakRead the links I posted. They clearly show that Cannabis is NOT an innocuous drug, on the contrary. These links tell us that recent (!) research confirms that using cannabis can cause serious mental health damage (psychotic illness, schizofrenia) and affects the growing and development of the brain.
The paragraph continues...
"[b]These claims for the dangers of cannabis made in 1925 were not investigated by the League of Nations until ten years after it was banned.That study was never completed. The only serious investigation made previously was the 1893 Indian Hemp Drugs Commission Report, which contradicted most of the Egyptian's speech "

Denying the facts and insinuating dumb racial implications on my part do not get you anywhere.
Edit: Cannabis usage also causes serious physical health damage. (Cancer, etc etc)
