This time in Mazatlan...

Nobody discussed the man because it happened early last year and was just reported lately after this woman was attacked. Why didn't he bring it to the media at the time? Who knows, but there isn't any use in discussing that event now is there?

CB, yes i think it IS valid to discuss the event. as it is about a real threat that is happening in mexico. & a possible scam taking place in tourist areas, a dangerous scam. it deserves speculation regardless if it was a last year. talking about the woman is useless. it really has little to do w/mexico, except that the attacker may not be prosecuted in the same way here. rest assured, if this happened in the USA/canada, they would know exactly who did the attack. am i correct? (the whole thing is a bit off, unless the attacker was a nut on vacation. anything is possible including a plotted murder by the husband. which is easier to pull off in mexico).

I just wasted some time reviewing the Globe and Mail article, which had closed the comments section due to unwanted comments and questions, possibly uncomfortable questions being asked. Can't have that now can we? I notice that, as is typical, every Canadian death over the past five years had been dutifully dredged up, in an obvious attempt to scare the weak minded into never venturing out of their own neighborhoods.

While browsing the comments which were permitted to remain online, I came across a fascinating warning site on travel to Mexico. Here, the site owner saw fit to blame Mexico for the death by anaphylactic shock of an 18 year old with a known allergy to peanuts. The title " A Parents Worst Nightmare". By implication Mexico itself is the nightmare, because peanuts in a dessert, were served. Now I don't know about you guys, but if I was allergic to peanuts and actually tasted some, maybe I'd pay a bit of attention, but apparently nobody is capable of managing their own allergies and probably should have 24/7 care along with predigested meals. Or then again perhaps this too is a diabolical Mexican plot in order to promote emergency services to the hard of thinking.

Clearly the level of aggression in Mexico is peanuts compared with locations NOB.

someone died in the USA from same cause. they asked if peanuts were in the food. the counter person said that he could not reveal the contents, he was not allowed. the person ate it anyway, died, the family sued. i did not read the mexico article. if the emphasis was on mexico thats absurd. btw, you CANT sue in mexico, so thats one civil right you give up. are these decent newspapers? or are they rag sheets? as for "diabolical plots", no the peanut is not one. but the murder of the man? most possibly yes. & if anyones doing pro mexico propaganda is you. quite frankly i dont care who visits mexico & who dosnt. im not in the tourist industry. maybe you are.

Where do you get this crap?

Yet again you reveal a distinct lack of comprehension. The family did not blame Mexico, and were complementary about the care received here, however someone with a real hatred on for this country made the ridiculous decision to include a most unfortunate death due to allergy as a reason not to visit Mexico. The site was a warning about dangers in Mexico. Presumably there are no peanuts elsewhere.

As for plots, I believe you were the one rambling on about medical practitioners in Mazatlan being involved in some dangerous scam, ah yes, here are your exact words.

quote susan:

it is about a real threat that is happening in mexico. & a possible scam taking place in tourist areas, a dangerous scam.

end quote

Oh my, now it's not just Maz, it's the entire country!!!!!

solovino: when can an american sue a restaurant in mexico? especially a visitor? in the USA, i would have my lawyer make a settlement w/the restaurants insurance comp. done. im sure even if a mexican tried to sue in his own country, it would take years or just not happen. btw, for your politically correct information: i sued 4 third world businesses (cab companies in my hometown). they forgot where they were. i reminded them. now you can come & "get" me for being a PATRIOT, not an ex. how cool of you.

raqueteer: YOU linked the stupid peanut article not me. yes it is possible for MAZ to engage in a diabolical scam. (excuse me, there are no scams in mexico)? if it works several times, the scam travels. lets see if another taxi is involved w/the next "hit on the head" mystery. let see how may tourists get "hit on the head' in beach resorts. you are good w/articles, maybe a bit selective in the wrong direction.

susan why did you feel it necessary to sue 4 cab companies,were you run over by 4 different taxis belonging to 4 different companies,no wonder you left your hometown it sounds very dangerous,but then you moved to a third world country,wheres the logic in that

She was probably run over by 4 different taxis because that's all there were.

Bwhahahaha........that one just made me spit up my rum & coke. You owe me a drink Oncesubtle.......

mistake: 3 cab companies, 1 dry cleaner (small claims). not @all dangerous. i am sure they are used to it. (one east asian cleaner, one dominicano car service, one laotian taxi, & a taxi comp who hired arab drivers). check arrives in 60 days.

Oh well that explains it, what were you thinking , getting into a laotian taxi.But really why did you sue them all.You sound very problematic.
When that check arrives give me a call,I know a noble savage who really wants to meet you.

Susan must be one of those 'Sue-happy' Americans we hear so much about- she sounds like this is sport for her. "I am sure they are used to it." OMG!! What kind of person is this? I knew some fellow Canadians who looked to pick a fight with any business they could try to pin something on, and smiled all the way to the bank. Susan's proud statement that the "check arrives in 60 days" says it all! Trash comes in all sizes, shapes and colors, people!

suing for wrong doing is the american way. especially where im from. people snap the photos on their cell phones, there lots of support. these 3rd worlders sometimes forget they are in the western world. once a driver in caftan w/a long beard got out of the cab & continued his screaming drama- in arabic. i had a crowd of people around. not a big deal, i think it was about one dollar or something, kind of comical. i was in a hurry, so gave it to him & moved on. maybe it was on youtube. anyway its kind of hard to tell the difference between laos cambodia vietnam china. next time ill ask. sometimes the ones w/turbans can be nice too. mexicans are easy. & let me remind you, i have never been robbed mugged pickpocketed or had problems w/hired help here. maybe i am doing something right. judging by my history, it speaks for itself. & to the last poster: think of it this way, i did them a service. they learned my culture & how to behave, & got reprimanded by their boss. the taxi companies have this problem all the time. consider it cross culture training, & i get compensated their bullshit.

You didn't answer the question susan,with all the problems you had with 3rd worlders in the 1st world why in the hell did you move to the 3rd world where you can't even sue them,it defies all logic.Remember, when that check clears the noble savage awaits,call me.

You are the most full of shit poster on this board. You know absolutely squat about anything that goes on here.
And wtf is with this patriot bullshit? You are beyond weird.

WOW, this topic has turned into a pizzing contest.

viajero - You said this is a third world country. You better educate yourself before making stupid statements like that.

they say one thing then another. @least i am consistent. & a patriot, not as cool as solovino. i stand behind everything i say. solovino & chris dont have a clue what i am saying, no worldly experience, just knowitall guys. hypercritical yap.

Don't you get tired of being splattered with shit?

Newsflash, nobody has a clue what you're saying, and we'd like to keep it that way. So keep up with the atrocious spelling, lack of punctuation, failure to use capital letters, and crap information. We'll all just slide past your posts since they're not worth reading.

Solo along with its other attributes perhaps it's also a coprophile. At this point very little would surprise me.

You had me there on "coprophile", so I scurried over to Wikipedia and was, indeed, enlightened. How about that?

John how about under developed country,that make you happy?Mexico does have a certain 3rd world charm don't you think?
Remember what happened last time are you ready for round 2?
Chris

"viajero - You said this is a third world country. You better educate yourself before making stupid statements like that."

I guess time flies when you are having fun. Think back four or five years when you absolutely insisted that Mexico was a 3rd world country. Seems to me that you got beat up pretty badly in that discussion. I guess that was a price you had to pay for the education?

if 75% live below the poverty line, & theres no social programs, that is called 3rd world. theres worse than mexico. you just hav'nt found it yet. oh i forgot, your home towns were worse. guess its the perspective from where you are judging.
