If Mexico isn’t a third world country I’m wondering when they got downgraded to fourth world status. Mexico will be a socialist country like Venezuela within the next 8 years and we’ll have 40 million legalized Mexican socialists within our borders by then too. History will someday view globalization as what brought down western civilization, IMHO.

You are aware you can look stuff up on the internet? Go to the World Bank site and you will find the definition and the current lists of first, second, third world. (There was a time when unaligned nations were referred to as third world, during the Cold War, but even in that context, Mexico would not qualify. It now is purely a development measure–most third world nations are in Africa).

Ronald Reagan: “America is too great for small dreams”…

…

Well first, Mexico is not a third world country. Second, we are planning to follow in Mexico’s footsteps but not til after the holidays. Busy, busy, busy.

That settles it. I’m moving to… someplace less effed-up than the States.

As soon as I figure out where that is.

the mess in oaxaca is what seattle could easily have been.

don’t be so smug that its not happening here…yet.

Heh heh.

The citys that are predominately Hispanic in San Diego county are rife with crimes against people, crimes against property, drug dealing, and massive amounts of Latino gang graffiti. The Mexican gangs in San Diego, L.A., and everywhere else in the U.S. are out of control.

Huh. According to information from the Census Bureau and the FBI, Sacramento county has a much higher crime rate (4,134) than San Diego County (1,589).

Sacramento county is 18% hispanic.

San Diego is 29%.

Figured I’d point that out. For nuance’s sake.

The fence is looking better and better to go higher and higher…stay at home, neighbors…fix your country.

I was expecting it to look more like the fight from the “Beat It” video.

Oh well.

Living in San Diego, I’m right on the Mexican border. There are assassinations of low-profile police and other government representatives in or near Tijuana and the other border areas all the time that never make it on the major news networks, but our local news broadcasts the stories constantly. Sometimes they’re big enough fish to make the big networks broadcasts. They even whack their Catholic Bishops down there. They bring that mentality and “culture” of total disregard for other peoples lives and property across the border with them when they walk right on in through the ‘wilderness’ between the checkpoints. The citys that are predominately Hispanic in San Diego county are rife with crimes against people, crimes against property, drug dealing, and massive amounts of Latino gang graffiti. The Mexican gangs in San Diego, L.A., and everywhere else in the U.S. are out of control. The Hispanic “community leaders” blame it all on oppression and racism as the reason why the Mexican yutes act the way they do. Ha. Cop out bull crap. They’re just as bad, if not worse, where they come from. They bring it with them. It’s handed down from generation to generation. Amnesty for all 10 million illegal aliens? Damn the shit for brains idiot(s) who would even consider such a thing.

I used to watch the clips of the Korean governement, or the Indonesian governement, or any other bizarro world backasswards country’s government throwing blows, chairs, microphones, whatever, and think to myself that there was no hope for their entire country if the governing body couldn’t even be civilized… North American Union? No way if it includes Mexico. It would be disasterous and the very idea is perposterous.

In a gee, this babe is kinda fascinating way or in a where did I put that silver stake kinda way?

Honora, you scare me.

The leftist has refused to recognize Calderon’s victory, setting up a parallel government of sorts and declared himself the “legitimate president” of Mexico.

So, what, he’s like the algore of Mexico?

I’m more concerned about this on the KGB/Polonium thread.

Nah, Kennedy can eat all the Polonium he wants.
