It is a cesspool and they hate us.

I'll try to contain my rage over the ignorance of your racist comment and others I've seen on this thread. And let me assure you that Mexicans don't hate us. They are an impoverished country and the people are generally loving and warm.

I'll agree with you however that the driving in Mexico is dangerous, scary and it's unwise to drive your car there.

Having actually lived in Mexico I'll offer these tips: 1) carry cash to bribe the Policia should you get pulled over and can't outrun them 2) ignore the stop signs ("Alto"), just slow down and honk your horn as you drive through intersections 3) feel free to make multiple trips around the roundabouts 4) the lines on the streets mean nothing so don't feel you need to stay on your side of the road

How is that racist? It may be incorrect or over-simplified, but you can’t yell “racism” just because someone says something that you disbelieve.

So that paradise where you have to bribe the police authorities and ignore civil laws is one which is to be respected???? WTF??????? What I said was NOT racist nor ignorant as I have lived there also. Go to Nuevo Laredo. Death and filth. Go stay in San Luis Potosi for any time and you will live the cesspool experience. Or any town in Michuacan.

The French respect us more.........yup, I have lived there also.

What does race have to do with it?

It's the 3rd world culture.
