[QUOTE="Kiamichi Wanderer, post: 3698280, member: 45169"] There is a push on in mexico also. Abortion will be legal in all of mexico before you know it, not long ago it was just DF. Gay rights expandion. The wife says mexico is a reflection of the us in liberalism. In most of mexico you need protection, like a gun. I had one, a colt .380, but you use it and you are screwed. The bodies get dumped or buried, self defense gets you screwed. A security guard off duty that had a permit shot (not killed) an intruder and eventually got off….after 4 years in jail. Things are bad here, but in many ways worse there. It’s like jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Learn to handle stuff on your own, no cops. Clean up the mess afterwards on your own. Cops do not come unless there is something in it for them. Otherwise they are just as likely to take the caller. Things got worse after Peña nieto, more worse after amlo. Where we lived there are Women raped on city busses, businesses robbed at gunpoint in the middle of the day (legal gun owners only can have them at hole, not their place of businesses), lots of women raped and mugged (easiest targets), even small pueblos. Kids taken is big. Two sister in laws got blocked in by other cars and robbed, one niece kidnapped. I could go on. This was a place the size of okc and not the bad areas. Small pueblos people live behind high walls. Narcos are everywhere. Just more obvious in some places. They take young girls and bring them back when pregnant. Things ARE better in gringo areas like ajijic, but most are non spanish speaking and ignorant of what is really going on. They do have their 5.00 a day maids coming these areas though. Mexico better? More free? Maybe for elitists. A study came out that showed well over 90% earned 400.00 a month or less. Most of the people I knew made minimum. 64 pesos a day, 10 hours a day and 6 days a week. Less than 100.00 a month. Don’t know why I added that last part. I guess to just show how most mexicans that are cleaning, doing the laundry, gardening, working the stores, etc. live. Guess it just bothers me after living in the real mexico. [/QUOTE]
