I have no desire to speak with you anymore.
Now who is making assumptions? I never said it is normal for Mexicans to rape children. However, the age of consent in Mexico is 12. In the U.S., we consider that pedophilia. Thus, the cultural difference.

If you have no desire to speak with me again, that is certainly your prerogative. I shall lose no sleep over your decision. Peace!

Well, you did refer to a claim that Mexican consider it normal to rape children as just "stating cultural differences".
The article was mean spirited, extremely anti-Mexican and you know it.

If you looked more closely, you'd see an asterisk that says the age of both partners are considered, and must be within a few years of each other.

Please don't act like you know what you're talking about. It's a very ignorant thing to say about a people.

I don’t know what on earth you are referring to. I made no such claim. I merely stated that there are cultural differences between the U.S. and Mexico. At no time did I explicitly nor implicitly accuse Mexicans of being child rapists. This is really getting ridiculous.

I myself would really like to know what exactly is the stance of the pro illegal crowd. There are a few of you who feel you have to defend these criminals on every thread pertaining to illegals yet I never see any reason given for your enthusiastic support. Do you empathize with the plight of these people, or do you just feel US laws are not important and should be broken if it fits certain criteria.

I myself am a US citizen born and raised, and I have had first hand encounters with our legal system. And I have always had to follow the law or face the consequences. Why should illegals be any different? Why should we defend people who do not respect us? Why should we be the ones to change for people who don't even belong here? Answers to these questions would be great. Maybe then I will understand the need some users feel to defend this invading foreign culture.

PS For all who really care to know, many(not all) of these people do not care about this country nor do they respect the citizens of this country. I personally see the anti American grafitti and deal with the snarky remarks on a daily basis. America needs patriots, not antagonists.

It is hard to discuss this issue with people who love illegals and think illegals are wonderful law-abiding people.

That's their main intention.

Anyone with half a brain could figure out that you could determine what's valid on wikipedia and what isn't by check it's cited with a reputable source at the bottom. Check it out.

But then again, this is from someone who reads Frosty Wooldridge.
