mexican vanilla

I think it has something to do with living in a third world country.

My friend says that when he agreed to build a glass factory down there, he told them he was going to need an office on the factory floor. So, since he was designing everything, he drew up plans. When the guy delivered the lumber, it looked too *big. and had these really keen edges. Took him 20 minutes to realize that he'd specified 2" x 4" timbers, and somebody had taken some logs and milled them to his precise specifications. Which was really weird, because in lumber, an inch isn't really an inch. But how were they supposed to know that.

It's not a matter of whether they're smart or not, they're just in an entirely different situation where they have some big problems to worry about, like whether they'll get enough to eat, and maybe they don't have the opportunity for education. I hear you can buy penicillin capsules in the pharmacies like they were throat lozenges or something - an attractive box in a display next to the cash register. Probably not a good idea from the perspective of the problems you can get into with resistant bacteria, but, well, things are different down there.

Miguel de Icaza is proof enough that mexicans can be plenty smart, with the right opportunities. I've met him, he's far more intelligent than i am.

Actually no, not all of them. Some are but most aren't. Don't presume you know this for a fact because you will find that it isn't the case most of the time.

Most are actually made in Mexico and everyone I know that buys them and uses them has had no problems. But if you or anyone else wants to be dumb enough to believe all of the propaganda that our government feeds you, be my guest. Most people I know actually have figured out the propaganda crap that is spewed daily in this country and it is mostly lies.

Propaganda works so well. You are proof of it. I see you think our drug companies are so much better but of course they are constantly being sued for crap that they do or don't do that killed many different people. Don't get that nose of yours too high in the air because if you and people like you had your way most normal people would not be able to afford the drugs in this country. Oh yeah, that is already the fact.

You are the one who believes the idiot propaganda that the government hoists upon the country. That is not anyone's fault but your own. I always listen and take it as a factor and check things out on my own. That is what intelligent people do. And I know about thousands of people going to Mexico to get medical and dental care and it is cheaper and done very well. You want to pay the outrageous costs here so the drug companies can pay off the politicians? Go for it I say. There are more than enough of us that will take advantage of Mexico and/or Canada and enjoy the money we have left over.

Too bad that you aren't willing to admit that others just may know some things that you don't.

Had I known it for a fact, I wouldn't have used the word "probably."

I wonder why Mexico is a third world country since, in your opinion, they are so much better than us?

You think our biggest problem is illegal immigration and that *I* believe propaganda? What is this, the Michael Reagan show?

You know darn well and good that I never said they were better than us. But then since that is what you posted then you prove that you are no longer worth anymore time from me. You are nothing but a liar and a TROLL because of that ignorant and uneducated remark. BTW, it might not be better overall but it is much cheaper and just as safe when it comes to dentists and doctors and prescriptions. But if a person is foolish enough to believe all that our government says then they also prove that they are nothing but sheep and can't think for themselves, which you so justly prove to all.

I see another person who doesn't like the truth. I never said the biggest problem was illegals but they are one of the biggest problems. And guess what? One can't fight terrorists if one leaves the borders wide open as has been done in this country.

Listen, why don't all of you people who can't and won't think for yourselves go play with each other. Such a shame that people can't reply to someone's question about something truthfully instead of giving their opinion, an opinion that in fact was a lie and had no basis in truth or fact.

This thread certainly got out of hand. All I wanted to know was what some of you thought about Mexican vanilla!

It's excellent - except when it's fake.
