Shut up stupid. I can train a monkey to hit keys on a keyboard and put words together just like you. Only difference between you and the monkey is that you actually compose proper sentences. Congrats you barely edged over the monkey. Hope you feel good about yourself.

In terms of putting together a decent logical argument, you and the monkey both fail...

I'm not Mexican idiot so when you reply to me don't go that route. Fuck face

Are you angry? Good! LOL

The drug war is just an excuse to kill as many brown ass mexicans as it is possible. The USA is being flooded with mexicans who want to live out of Walfare and shit on the middle of the street The putas in the Mexican congales are producing more Mexicans than oil in Arab countries, so the population in shithole countries like this must be decreased in some way, in any possible way.

So....how the Cartel simply kills off protected investigators, agents and officials, I wonder....why isn't their president, whom I add, is pushing SO hard to win a losing battle, still alive? Can you feel that sarcasm? It's obvious looking from the outside in. Mexican Government and parts of the law enforcement and security forces support the cartels.

Glorifican la ignorancia y el crimen. Esto es lo que pasa porqua la joventud acepta esta vida como algo ideal. Pero la verdad solo causa sufrimiento para la jente Mejicana. Mejico necesita que reformar sus valores. La jente se tiene que unir y ver a estos narcos como enemigos domesticos que quieren destruir la jente Mejicana y el pais.

It wouldn't do shit anyways other than give Drug Cartels another excuse to increase their drug prices and making them even more powerful.

The war on drugs is such a joke. They would be better off if the Mexican Gov just said, "yes we support the drug cartels and have gone into business with them." Because drugs are illegal and scarce it drives up the price. Let it be legal and competitively priced. The cost would go down and the killing would stop.
