EvilMonkey Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 You know, mexico has cheap labor, land for agriculture AND oil, which is one more thing than China has. How come China is a world power and Mexico is a cesspool of corruption whose biggest source of income is American dollars sent in from the US? At least the dollars going into China are for goods produces, then exported. Imagine China if they had the oil that Mexico has! We would be bowing to our Chinese overlords instead of our Muslim ones.

Not sure if you are actually looking for an answer here... but I think the most obvious reasons can be found in the history of those countries. Mexico: An independent culture and nation only very very recently... a land of conquered people, held under the thumb in its infancy of hugely corrupt Spanish or Spanish-inflences governments... An internal clash of cultures - various castes of Spaniards mixed with natives... then eventually becoming the pinata for the United States. Not a distinguished or politically effective history. China: You can't make a long enough list of the things that culture has invented... Dominated their region, along with science and military affairs, for thousands of years... isolated in its infancy (for all political purposes), allowed to grow and gain strength, before being threatened later. Much better national lineage, all things considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you believe, it's everywhere, now I know why conservatives always have their undies in a bunch. I could see it if the pictures rotated some how. But it was static. Each time I visited there they were. That's not accidental. None of the top four GOPers are mentioned on the front page? GMAB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) It seems that many people here like to point to media bias, and usually conservatives. I'm surprised you would think it is a dead horse. Are you meaning that the issue is dead and there is no media bias? Or perhaps there is nothing that can be done? Once the media is rendered worthless we lose one of our greatest protections to government wrongdoing. I certainly do not have the time to attend every meeting, I doubt anyone does. I believe the fourth estate is too important to allow to fail in their mission to shine sunshine on government actions. And on this path, it will. A journalism industry with zero credibility is worse than none at all. Edited October 16, 2007 by Texsox correct spelling error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
