fucking hilarious :1orglaugh

Good point, more people have been killed in recent Mexican drug related killings than the US lost in the Vietnam war.

.

Nuevo Laredo is definitely not safe anymore, but oddly enough it's not from the cartels, it's from the cops. I went there over a year ago and got the shake down 5 minutes after I crossed. I heard not too long ago the entire police force was fired and the military took over, but I haven't been back since...

I do remember that but can't remember if that was Del Rio or not, and for some reason I can't find it in Google. If I remember the story correctly the husband was shot because the cartels mistook him for a rival smuggler. Del Rio is a huge fishing town though with Lake Amistad...

Survivor guilt is very common.

My mother a German Jew survived the camps and it fucked her up royally.

yes! that what it was. ugly story.

Fuck Mexico.

a guy in our tourist group got raped by the police in thailand! I shit you not! he was drunk and stupid and got in to a fight with the thai police!! he got raped, by the police, and our tour guide picked him up from prison a few days after AND he got AIDS!!! how do i know this? I went on another tour with the same company and met the tour operator who got him out of jail that day and he is a witness in the legal proceedings against the thai police!

WOW! Now thats quite the story. A shame for the guy if he truly got aids.

Roberto Alomar got raped in mexico and got Aids as well.
That is friggin crazy

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

Damn :Oh crap

.

I thought Roberto Alomar's rape was in New Mexico, by 2 Mexican men?

maybe you are right, it has been a long time since i read about it.

He does have purty lips :upsidedow

Mexico reminds me of LA.

they were Spaniards living in mexico city, visiting the resort town for vacation.
thats very f'ed up.
a country run by gangs and thugs.

One reason I stay in the USA.

I guess not in LA:

I went to Mexico 15 times and never had a real problem

ITs my favorite country (with India) and the nicest peoples i saw in 35 different countries ive visited, mexican peoples are very friendly, generous, funny, welcoming and easy going

That being said i dont say its all good and pink and yes theres violence (and more recently with drug war), but a lot of big countries have same kind of shit

Being Canadian, Mexico is close from here and very popular for canadian, so we receive more bad news with the media that others countries more south or in Asia/Africa/Europe etc so its screw our perceptions im pretty sure

And also for sur if you go to big ressort you will not have problem, but for myself i didnt, ive travel all around the country, i did hitch hiking, went to a lot of "dark area" , went to the capital, to many private house,,, etc..

I will recommend big time to visit Mexico... but yes be carefull... PLaya del Carmen is VERY safe... il be there in 2 weeks :)

Viva Mexico

Interesting. Didn't know someone could give you AIDS.

With the exceptions of the areas where the rich and entitled live the city is fast becoming a slum. Rapido. I guess you can see it if you live here. Or if you watch old tv shows, from 50's to 60's, you can see it.

People like to live in a rose colored glasses world. But that world is imaginary.

Mexicans live in the past. The Spaniards got nailed my guess is because of their past perceived transgressions of the Mexicans. Same reason US is experiencing the Reqonquista.

The rapists targeted the Spaniards. Spared the Mexican. Whats your explanation?
P.s. I love and miss living in Barcelona.

They'll gift wrap it for you in Zimbabwe.

In college 20 yrs ago there were a couple episodes of drunk chicks train raped by frat boys.

I'm not sure this is a mexico only problem.

This. There are fine places in Mexico just read some state department warnings and search for some local news

Think about all the publicity the Sandy Hook shooting received when only 26 people died. Why are our children so much more important than the hundreds of middle middle eastern children who die in drone strikes every year? It's because they were American. Nationalism has a very dehumanizing effect on people. :2 cents:

Go to Mexico? Really?
Whadda a fuckin' joke ................

Really ???
I use to love old Mexico but only someone with a fuckin' death wish would visit there now.

theres a running joke about 3rd world police here and pretty much anywhere... they sit around the police station all day cause all the guys on the wanted posters look like the guys who work there

One of them is the brother of the "untouched" Mexican girl, hmm

indeed, the acapulco and mexic other regions are well-know of drug-trafficking. Also the newspapers reported that mexicans rapers wearing black mask and were heavly-armed it sounds like sicarios. The amateurs dont act like that.

Such famous place gone to shit!

Bad joke time:

/- Five Mexicans raping German girl, she says to them: nine, nine, nine...

- And 4 more Mexicans came to rape her/

have buddy in Thailand, his wife was raped while he was out of town.... she was 'given' AIDS' and died... so now I guess you know.... what's the usual way? take AIDS from someone?

think of it more like 'tribalism' :2 cents:

Isn't that what "Spring Break" is about?? I'm lost ...

what does that mean? You won't travel because of fear?

holy shit:(

Yes. Blame the media.

I travel to a lot of places and never ever had any of the problems I read on this board. Funny.

You need to start dressing like you want it.

its not like the warnings weren't there
