You know, as someone else living in Mexico, these topics always bait me. The kind of people these topics attract that weirdly brag about how radicalized they are by news always blow my mind.

But in the end it's not so bad. It keeps Mexico interesting and unadulterated by tourists.

Some of these commenters you'd think walk around with a helmet on because they might trip and they won't risk that possibility. I'd love to see someone like that look where I've lived for five years in a beach city and tell me how bad I must have it and how much I must fear for my life in this war zone.

Some people need the air conditioned sense of suburban safety that bores me to fucking tears. Other people like a little bit of ruggedness and adventure and maybe even adversity in life. Or something in between. To each their own.




Non-gringo and non-Mexican chiming in from Puerto Escondido. Your comment hits all the marks, as far as I'm concerned.
