> I don't believe for a single second that violent assholes wouldn't give me a hard time if they felt like it. They don't live by some kind thieves' code. It's not a Dickens novel.

I never said they wouldn't, there are crazy cartel members just as there are crazy gang members.

> They're dangerous as shit and anyone who accidentally crosses paths with them might get killed for the hell of it. You ever read Borderlands Beat? That's real news coming out of Mejico. That country is bullshit and it can't keep its act together and never has. But, oh, my quaint villas and excellent tacos. Yeah, right. Drink the water and get back to me.

Im literally living in Mexico, not in a resort but in a border town.

> As far Chicago, that city is a mess, too. I was there just last year. It sucks there for all kinds of reasons.

Agreed but there are nice places as well.

> You know what Chicago and Mexico have in common? Failed liberal policies.

I agree and corruption.

There's a ton of propaganda in mainstream media claiming that Mexico and America are both heaven and hell depending on what you watch but as an outsider (I'm neither Mexican or American) I can honestly tell you it's somewhere in between.
