this won't end until someone comes in to make it end...and by someone, I mean the good ole US military.  Far too much corruption and money involved to make it go away otherwise.

 

I'm sure there's lots of Americans/Canadians in high high authority getting a big ole slice of the action too

My neighbor's son lives in Mexico City and she goes to see him a couple of times a year. She claims she never feels in danger and the crime isn't as bad in the city as people think. You don't walk alone at night in rough neighborhoods and such but with common sense you are fine.

 

I think this type of gruesome murder stuff is more common closer to the US. Juarez e.g. is the murder capital of the world.

 

They also have a beach villa or something on the west coast where crime is nonexistent.

 

But I'm not going either.

Most of Mexico is pretty safe, the issue is closer to the border. On the other hand, in past years there has been a rise in kidnaping for ransom in Mexico and throughout areas on Central and South America. My last trip to Mexico City I went with my cousin to meet a friend of his from Penn State. Before we left the country, we had to take a hostage class. Our friend over there, her dad is an executive with Phillip Morris, so we spent the whole time traveling with bodyguards and 3-4 car convoys of bulletproof suburbans. The city has some areas that are very beautiful and look just like Spain although the green beetle taxis everywhere are pretty ugly. Further, as for safety, all the beach resort towns like Cozumel, Playa del Carmen and Cabo are all very safe.

I was trying to verify what I said about resort town being safe and stumbled across this link, a lot of good info for anyone going and scary at same time.

Here are some excerpts:

-I think me and my girl were roofied at the Grand Oasis on a recent trip to Cancun

-He had severe injuries and we were told they could not do life saving surgery without credit card payment. Eventually they did surgery then demanded 50000 dollars before they would medically release him for air evac

-Drinks are spiked and that is not even news, but If you want first hand testimony I have that too. Females and males ending in rape.......

- If you get sick in Mexico... BEWARE of what they prescribe for you u. We thought we were safe because we were at a high end resort with medical staff on site. Not so

Here is link, all these stories are from past few months this year!

Please... the cartels know where the money is coming from and the last thing they want to see happen is the US to make Mexico persona non grata for American tourists.

 

I travel to Mexico a few times a year and have a great time. We hike, explore ruins, find remote cenotas for swimming, use the local taxis if need be... unless you act like the Ugly American you'll be fine.

 

At 6'6" you don't think I stand out in a crowd of Mexicans? I don't care, I speak a little of the language and enjoy their company.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it.

      True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
