Nothing but love for your Jason, but you're a pussy. ;)
I'm looking you up on the new ttlg feature as we speak. I'll be there for my free shit in just a bit. You must have a rich uncle or a great paying job. Either way, thanks!
LOL, you have so pegged it, fett.
And don't worry about the housemate's pitbull. I have had three guard dogs poisoned by smugglers and and four stabbed. The dog is nowhere near the threat that the owner with the gun would be.

Being afraid of real threats is not the same as being paranoid, dethtoll. Phoenix is a hellhole, by the standards of any civilized country, and this is not a state of affairs that the U.S. will allow to go on for too much longer. We have a low tolerance for that sort of thing.

They're poor because they're corrupt and savage? Wow.
Stop being foolish, Vivian. I gave you an honest and well-considered answer to a snotty question from an immature person who has no idea what he's talking about (that would be you).
Do you think that equality and economic fairness can exist in a place where the "strong" can rob and kill the "weak" at will? How perfectly idiotic.
You live miles away from this situation, but you want to make judgements about the actions and ideas of people who are living in a situation that you can't even imagine, just because of some retarded sense of aesthetics you have somehow picked up from some book someplace.
Get a clue, dude.

When me and my boyfriend go to bed in the wee hours of the morning after discussing foreign movies all night long, eating caviar and reading Baudelaire to each other, I rest assured that Old and Cunning is out there standing a post with 7 dogs and guns. While we rise and sleep under the blanket of the very freedom she provides. I just want to say thank you and be on my way. Even if she ordered the code red.

From your link, take notice what it says next time. ;)
I love Mexican food too. Yum! Various regions have different styles to cook food, different ingredients. Wish I could taste 'em all. :)
You CAN taste em all. You can travel all over mexico and eat yourself silly ... as long as you don't mind risking death by bomb, mortar, or gun. 9,000 killings last year alone, many of them tourists.
I am of the opinion that this seriously hurts the incomes of people in mexico who rely on the tourist trade, since fear of being blown up or beheaded is somewhat of an appetite killer.
As for having read the article, I'm not sure what you think I missed. That guns are shipped south illegally? Duh. Of course they are. Enough money can get you anything you want.
Do you think that disarming law-abiding Americans will somehow change the number of weapons that outlaws will obtain or the number of people they will kill?
PuhLEESE.

How do you think it happens in the first place then? Every society, and I mean EVERY ONE ON EARTH developed out of exactly that. Which is not just my opinion - read something/anything about anthropology or sociological evolution.
Fuck, which makes it sound like I'm painting Mexico as still in the hunter-gatherer stage, oops. Anyway, point still holds.

Not to derail this totally, but modern anthropology has pretty much dismissed the idea of sociological evolution. You aren't allowed to say "still in the hunter-gatherer stage" anymore, since many such societies currently exist, and are not evolving. And from the sound of it, they're having a way better time than we are.

Well...does it not at least make a little sense that "not having a country jam-packed with easily obtained guns" would reduce the quantity of guns available to illegally ship south? I can't imagine 'illegal gun running' is sufficiently economical and sustainable to support the entire US domestic firearms industry.
Also: Aja, are you sure? That seems very odd. How do they explain how societies got from hunter-gatherer to...well, agriculture or whatever, without it being some form of social evolution? Just because some societies DON'T seem to be evolving doesn't mean it doesn't happen. The societies that are 'hunter gathering' might just be in the perfect location for that to work fine. Anything perfectly fitted to its niche is under selective pressure to NOT change, after all. Look at the coelocanth, for example.
