I know many mexicans born and raised there, my pop tells me I am 1/8th mexican. Why don't you share some stories, quit being a stingy bandito and hogging all your adventures for yourself - enquiring minds want to know. hehe Here is one difference, when I was on the mexican bus, it was nicer than american bus, had tv and comfy seats and it was the military that shot some people, as soon as we crossed over the border, the next day I was in an alberquerque, nm bus station and it was a civilian who killed someone. That was a pretty rough terminal. I just went to stay in WPB for a few days while dennis hit the other coast of fla. The pier here has still not been repaired and mexicans have taken over lake worth - I ask some rich friends close to the donald what is up - this is a bad sign that they can't even repair the pier and they said yah no one maintains anything around here anymore. Reminds me of a lot of cities I saw in mexico - lack of maintenance. Headed up military trail to look at some new condos, the security guard at one of them was some mexican that could barely speak english - his eyes were redder than the devil and he had the breath of a sinner. He told me how to get right where I was going without asking me anything - HAHA - glad it was friends I was going to see and not some enemies I was going to shoot - the only thing he was gaurding was his bottle of beam. Anyways the condo's had those nice hurricane strength roofs with those super duper shingles - half the shingles were still missing, friends leather furniture ruined from water damage long time ago - couldn't give it away cause he lived on the top floor (floor 3) and there were no elevators - only stairs and no one wanted to carry it - hehe. Moms house had a canal behind it that was the lowest I have seen it in decades, many of the stores I went into people were not speaking english. Most people were dressed very well though, had all the latest fashions. Was over at the beach and some mexican with about 9 kids came up to me and said do I have a match, now I don't smoke but mom likes those cancer sticks and had a lighter and offered it to him. Now it was heavy winds and heavy rain was on its way but this guy was gonna cook some BBQ - he tried and tried, I left before he got dinner started - I wonder if he gave up. I read the paper here, one of the local police cheifs is getting fired because he cant hire enough officers and the m18 and m32 or some such gangs from south america are having street wars. New condo construction in many places - the humidity here is worse than clearwater I believe, the water is warmer here from the stream I have been told.

<Have you stopped to consider why it may be that these misadventures seem to haunt you? > Scientific analysis of the causal relationship finds: Member Since 9/29/1997 9:11:00 AM Total Posts 1819 PeopleMarks 14 Ignored by 28 Those are bad ratios. <Mexicans are by and large incredibly generous and big hearted. Like anywhere else, there are of course exceptions.> Really C2? How racist of you to say so. Which people in particular are you saying are less generous and are small-hearted? Brazilians? I guess that would be true. Russians? Well, you have me on that too. Americans? Positively mean and small-hearted by comparison. Those Mexicans sure are incredible people, unlike Japanese and Chinese too. Mqurice
