yea you're right!... I disagree with the gang things, thats simply stupid, covering territories like animals?

a long time passed since we stopped being animals...

they just don't realize... maybe the have an 80 IQ... lol

am I the only 17 year old guy who thinks like this or what???

I know the Mexico where your at is different from like the border towns...like New York is different to Los Angeles. Its one country but just different accents, people, customs, etc...alot of americans are pissed bcuz the gang problems. If you have been to California then you know...besides I dont think America could exist w/out mexican food. They all talk shit but then Americans are always eating tacos and burritos, enchiladas....go figure, huh !!

[jimmamd123]

yeah, its kind of tropical, but not now though...xD its pretty cold...

Michoacan, my grandma is from there... :D

the girls, well, they are very cute down here lol trust me, more than i saw in Denver and California...

i do like the non-racist Americans, my science teacher was american, and she was so sweet towards me and the other mexicans in her class, so i cannot judge all americans from being racist!

the majority of americans i met were really nice, i think only one or two were kinda racist.

@jimmamd123

you said it right. you are correct....is it tropical in Guadalajara ? Im half Italian and half Mexican. Mom from New York & Dad lives in L.A. but he is from Michoacan. Ive never been to Mexico besides T.j. to party and never learned Spanish or Italian. How are the girlz? Do they like Americanos

[jimmamd123]

I don't know if its correct the word "hose" I'm only 17 and lived in US for 3 and a half years... I meant Hose (the thing that is on the yard that comes water out of it...)

lol I sounded like a caveman... jaja

[jimmamd123]

i guess is sweet water, but, they can't just melt them down... it will affect whole ecosystems... it would get hotter and its not good, weather might change, and who knows what could happen (i can deduce, but I'm sleepy so i will not think through it now...xD)

and I agree with you, it sounds cruel, but thats the only way to slow down the population growth... wars, diseases etc. I live in Guadalajara, the water is not bad at all... you can drink from the hose... but we always buy bottle water.

That's true, but desalination plants are expensive and work well for countries close to the sea mainly. Besides there are inadequate policies and bad politicians, so access to water isn't as easy as it seems.
