this won't end until someone comes in to make it end...and by someone, I mean the good ole US military.  Far too much corruption and money involved to make it go away otherwise.

 

I'm sure there's lots of Americans/Canadians in high high authority getting a big ole slice of the action too

My neighbor's son lives in Mexico City and she goes to see him a couple of times a year. She claims she never feels in danger and the crime isn't as bad in the city as people think. You don't walk alone at night in rough neighborhoods and such but with common sense you are fine.

 

I think this type of gruesome murder stuff is more common closer to the US. Juarez e.g. is the murder capital of the world.

 

They also have a beach villa or something on the west coast where crime is nonexistent.

 

But I'm not going either.

Most of Mexico is pretty safe, the issue is closer to the border. On the other hand, in past years there has been a rise in kidnaping for ransom in Mexico and throughout areas on Central and South America. My last trip to Mexico City I went with my cousin to meet a friend of his from Penn State. Before we left the country, we had to take a hostage class. Our friend over there, her dad is an executive with Phillip Morris, so we spent the whole time traveling with bodyguards and 3-4 car convoys of bulletproof suburbans. The city has some areas that are very beautiful and look just like Spain although the green beetle taxis everywhere are pretty ugly. Further, as for safety, all the beach resort towns like Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and Cabo are all very safe.

I was trying to verify what I said about resort town being safe and stumbled across this link, a lot of good info for anyone going and scary at same time.

Here are some excerpts:

-I think me and my girl were roofied at the Grand Oasis on a recent trip to Cancun

-He had severe injuries and we were told they could not do life saving surgery without credit card payment. Eventually they did surgery then demanded 50000 dollars before they would medically release him for air evac

-Drinks are spiked and that is not even news, but If you want first hand testimony I have that too. Females and males ending in rape.......

- If you get sick in Mexico... BEWARE of what they prescribe for you u. We thought we were safe because we were at a high end resort with medical staff on site. Not so

Here is link, all these stories are from past few months this year!

Please... the cartels know where the money is coming from and the last thing they want to see happen is the US to make Mexico persona non grata for American tourists.

 

I travel to Mexico a few times a year and have a great time. We hike, explore ruins, find remote cenotas for swimming, use the local taxis if need be... unless you act like the Ugly American you'll be fine.

 

At 6'6" you don't think I stand out in a crowd of Mexicans? I don't care, I speak a little of the language and enjoy their company.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
