All I ask is for a real woman to win.
When did they start allowing mothers and 40-year-olds? Times sure have changed. But kudos to that 40-year-old if she can hold her own with all those twenty-somethings.
Isn’t Mexico too dangerous for decent people to go there? Look at how many of them have broken American laws trying to get some of the “a better life” asylum in the racist, evil Gringo America.
Visit Mexico City sometime. It’s one of the world’s great cities. Vale la pena. You might learn simething.
I would like to learn why they are all coming here to escape from there.
Fun fact: Iran and Saudi Arabia will be competing.
“”Iran will debut as “Miss Persia””
This stands out to me. To call her “Miss Persia” is not insignificant.
I think you won the Internet for the day with that reply.
Certainly. Though, from my perspective, some Persian women are absolutely gorgeous.
I can hardly wait to miss it.....
Mexico has a much higher percentage of poor people than us.
Then they have really rich people. There is not much in between. There is not a big middle class like us.
Most of the world is like this. Even in countries like Switzerland it is hard to become wealthy if you were not born into the right class. This was told to me by a man who was born there and moved here to start a company. He couldn’t get a loan to start his business there. He moved here. My father in law worked for him selling textile manufacturing machinery.
Do you think Elon would be as rich as he is IF he was still living in South Africa? No way.
I was in Italy in October. Out tour guide in Florence said she paid 52% income tax.
We have a tremendous opportunity in this country that many people do not take advantage of. Literally, IF you work hard and save you can become wealthy in one generation. Most other places in the world that is an impossibility.
That is why they come.
Americans worked hard and fought hard to prevent what happened in those countries from happening here. Those people need to do something to fix their own country instead of coming here, getting elected to Congress and trying to change America into the same kind of crapper they came from. (Which is going on here right now.)
