Mexican Meltdown: America’s Most Imminent Threat

BY - you're the dude who said he could "take down" MS-13 one at a time with your sawed off "Australian Weapon of Choice" shotgun.

If you're so gung ho about such things - why hide behind me?

What I didn't know, was that Mexico is the home of some of the best vanilla. Live and learn.

Yeah my Mother In Law put me onto that. It is the best - and you get a lot of it for not very much.

I said it in this thread did I. Must have missed that.

I didn't say anything about education in this thread - therefore I must never have said it.

Big difference between those two statements.

My statement was a joke. Nothing more than that.

Your statement was a cheap gotcha with something you said a while back, in another thread, regardless of the context.

Barely recall a history test on our historical relations with Mexico, hey, I passed it and forgot it the next day, then moved on to something else, only have a limited number of brain cells. But it was rocky to say the least and continuous. Here we go again to quote our famous president, Ronald McDonald, or whatever is name was, forgot that too.

Key problem today, is this country is a strong market for drugs, can't help but feel we have people here in authority that are getting side benefits from this trade. But as long as that market exists, whether it's Colombia, Afghanistan, or Mexico now, we will have problems. Yet another problem with Mexico, and call me a socialist is that strong division between the super rich and the super poor, not to mention a constantly corrupt government. Hey, we have that problem here too, but not as pronounced. Well, at least not as obvious, we are far more discreet.

For our corporations, Mexico was a haven, with labor rates of five bucks per day, toxic waste, hell just dump that on the streets, but now can get the same thing from China for a buck a day. If you think our good will ambassadors are in Washington, think again, it's these corporations.

Will building a Berlin wall work? Check history.

There is wisdom in these words.

*Wisdom = common sense that many chicken hawks around here ignore for convenience*

Who cares, really? The drug trade has gone on for a long time and plenty of people have died. Most of those killed weren't innocent and I doubt there will be a big change in Mexican wages or police corruption for starters.

Who on this thread made a chickenhawk-like comment besides yourself?

Humor is subjective - I laughed like crazy at that shotgun comment, as it had just the right ring of psycho craziness to be true.

On the bolded - one wonders what you call this

Certainly. But how is your statement any more tongue in cheek than mine?

Its the context my friend.

Then again, if its gone one for a long time, and plenty of people have died, then perhaps douchebags shouldn't be making such a big fuss about it since the majority of those killed weren't innocent and all. I suppose they're not really putting the 1+1 of logic together when it comes to realizing that if they're b!tching about the death of non-innocents, then it must mean they want them to survive to continue supplying the demand of the drug trade, mainly... us as customers.
