Yeah with 18 year old high school kids. Like I said, anyone with any common sense. And now that you can't get back into the US without a passport, it's not so popular with any demographic.

I'm Canadian so of course I am. Two women from the city that I live in were accused of killing an elderly couple by slitting their throats. That's just lazy on the Mexican authorities' part.

You guys should read this. Is more likely to be killed by a Mexican in the USA than in Mexico as a tourist.

so you fear mexico?

It's a disgusting, crime ridden, kidnap crazy, drung infested third-world **** hole. On top of that, it's a nightmare getting back into the US from there. The last time I was there was only because I missed my exit and the next stop was Mexico. It took hours to get back in. Luckily back then you didn't need your passport or I really would have been up **** creek without a paddle. :?

My favorite was Pokemon and DBZ in Spanish. I was disappointed Speedy Gonzales was in English though, it was kind of a cruel joke.

They have repeated DBZ for the last 15 years or so, same hour same channel. Still remember myself as a kid watching Goku die over and over again.

Meh, I live near the border, not to mention I've been there so many times, seeing armed soldiers with their trucks mounted with machine guns is sweet... until they start shooting at the narcos which will result in a brutal gunfight. Also the murders, beheadings dont bother me.

Not at all, Juarez may be a crap hole, but it has its uses, cheaper medicine, good food and interesting things, and we have friends and relatives over there. But the moral of the people over there make me think at times...

I still remember the day on the news about the poor teenage girl who waschoked and gaggedwho was found in the morning in the streets. She wasn't involve in any criminal activity and such, pretty sad. I sometimes tell my dad that "his" hometown should be nuked. In general Mexico sucks, and this is coming from a beaner.

Fear is weakness. Weakness is unacceptable. Therefore, there is no fear. There is only peace.
