Iraq better? haha... Compared to Iraq, Tijuana is a walk in the park. The city has a murder rate that is actually pretty comparable to a US city of equal population size. Which is why so many people visit it each day/year... Especially Americans, who visit it by the 10's of thousands daily.

I mean afterall, The city is the second most tourist visited location in the entire planet.. More people travel to TJ than London, Paris, Tokyo etc etc.. Only NYC has more tourists.

T.J. is a toilet, which is why young people go there to be entertained by its depravity. People don't go to NYC, London and Paris to watch someone have sex with a donkey. The same can't be said of Tijuana.

You are wrong majjohn,lol,in Tijuana most speak english.

"...the removal of capitol and corporal punishment has given us what society is today."

To some extent I agree, but studies have indicated capital punishment doesn't really deter crime (although I sure don't have a problem with it other than it costs more than life without parole).

I lay the blame right squarely of the feat of failed liberal policies that created a nanny-state and made the gov't the main provider in so many "homes." It removed the need for traditional households in which a man and a woman married and raised children and stifled personal initiative in favor of a gov't check.

When kids grow up in single-family homes with no father-figures working 40 hours a week and giving a firm hand of guidance, too many wind up in gangs and idolizing the wrong element -- criminals and drug dealers. Even the "rev" Wright would agree with the latter part of that statement.

Understandable sentiment, for the chaotic US-Mexico borderlands, rife with all the wrong people, but the country is huge. Head for the mountains south of Mexico city, or the gulf-coastlands up towards Yucatan.

I hear Baja California's special, too.

Come on Tang,say it how you feel it.Even though my wife is hispanic,and i believe in legal,repeat LEGAL immigration.You should read the papers up here of the mexicans that just come here for a better life.At our expense.

That's pretty much the attitude here, DM (Japan). The overwhelming proportion of illegally held guns are in the hands of hoodlums and in their periodic shoot-outs they sometimes kill one another. No loss.

But what is the huge tragedy is when an innocent person dies, caught in the crossfire or in a case of mistaken identity (happened recently).

The national press ignores them because they don't want Americans to think that these people have a criminal element,and they want to keep our borders open for cheap labor.

LOL yeah, Prince on the "recommended stories" list. Hey, Prince is a great musician, and I love some of his music. But a top story? Never.

Aidenag and Neophile would die choking on their vomit if Propeller ever "pinned" a story I submitted. They do their best to ignore and downplay anything I post, anyway.
