Tell that to the wife-to-be and daughter of my dead realtor who was killed on a company vacation there, right before his wedding. How big of a loser does one have to be to make a statement like that.

Some of us have that inner voice that says, "Stop! Don't do it...that's a really stupid thing to say." and some of us don't have that inner voice.

This is probably one of the main contributing reasons for why your life is the way it is. Remember this the next time you feel stupid.

Thats what happens when you go to a cesspool of a country.Anyone who leaves a civilized country to go to a shit hole deserves whatever happens to them.

"They are a way more caring people then americans or canadians."

You just put yourself as low as them just by saying that.

"do your research and find your facts before posting a comment."

Let me do my research then:

American Donation Organizations: Countless

Mexican Donation Organizations: Most of which are run by foreigners outside Mexico.

Why

[JollyJenkins]

@team1200 I am ashamed you are canadian, your ignorance is making you look like an idiot, then again in my opinion you are an idiot.

Where are you getting your facts?

It was a total accident. Accidents happen people deal with it.

@quakequake8 ... A bomb? Are you kidding me? An explosion from a bomb would be much bigger, and why target tourists if it was? Which it wasnt.

You said Canada has natural gas lines around the whole country and no such incidents occur.

That is completely false. There have been many natural gas explosions in Canada.

How could the Mexican government have known it was a ticking bomb?
