So the pro-drug side knows that the bodies found near Lake Chapala were all drug runners to the USA?
I think it's rather silly to think these evil people are going to put on suit and ties and accept a $40 a week maquila jobs just because all drugs are made legal in the USA.
No one forces them to join a criminal cartel, they do so because they love big easy money more than life itself. There is no one more evil than a drug pusher who seeks huge wealth through the addiction of others to highly addictive substances that destroy their lives and families --- whether in the USA or in Mexico. These people will not be missed.
Agreed. If anyone has any doubt as to why Mexico remains a corrupt hellhole, all they have to do is follow the perpetual trail of denial.
you're dumber than the purple rain poster. go away. both of you.
When you have no defense for the indefensible, insulting other posters is key to showing how ignorant you truly are. You and your friend TB (aka Tuberculosis) are obviously tied for 1st place.

Great post
What caused Mexico to have corruption was a lack of free speech for the press. Mexican libel and slander laws were crazy and protected politicians from the truth being reported. Those laws have been changed in most Mexican states now. Before, if a reporter wrote the truth, that a politician took a bribe and he could prove it, the reporter was arrested for holding the politician up to public ridicule. Libel and slander were criminal and civil offenses even if the truth was told. Mexican libel and slander laws were based on embarrassing a politician by reporting anything the politician found embarrassing like the public knew the politician was a crook, not based on lies being told like up North.
A country will be corrupt if the truth cannot be told about the people running it.
That is changing, but unfortunately reporters are now being killed by the cartels for reporting about the cartels. It seems being a reporter in Mexico is a very dangerous job.
What do you and your buddy think I'm playing jeopardy? Stop with the idiotic tag team BS. I said what I meant and meant what I said.
TOPIC: Bodies found near Lake Chapala.
I don't have any buddies in this forum. If one has to explain the correlation between American demand for narcotics resulting in violence between the cartels competing for said business, then wow...

So you don't agree with what I posted so your response is to personally insult and attack me. News flash, I am not the topic of this thread. Grow up and stop with the stalking and childish BS.

Perhaps stating that U.S.A drug use has nothing to do with the MX cartels shocked the minds of some members.
The cartels make billions selling drugs into the U.S. The MX cartels control over 70% of the drugs sold in the U.S. The U.S. and MX should have stopped the cartels back in the 80's because now the cartels have other criminals businesses worldwide. This is a problem created by the U.S. and it should have been stopped by the U.S. but instead the U.S. paved the way and has created monsters that will be almost impossible to kill.
In an effort to help combat the Mexican cartels, the United States trained a group of Mexican soldiers that could confront the cartels with advanced weaponry. (Some of these soldiers may have been trained at the military School of Americas.) Los Zetas were among the first cartel thugs to use paramilitary tactics, brandishing weapons such as 50-caliber machine guns, grenade launchers and even ground-to-air missiles.
Unfortunately, the Zetas switched sides, becoming enforcers for the Gulf Cartel, the chief narcotraffickers on Mexico’s east coast. It’s likely the Gulf Cartel paid better than the Mexican government. Evidence of this is that one-eighth of Mexican soldiers eventually desert.
You can never overestimate American greed:

In March 2010, the U.S. bank Wachovia paid $110 million in fines for receiving as much as $378 billion from various Mexican drug cartels, in spite of the anti--money-laundering protocols in place. (Many other banks have been implicated in such illegal practices.)

Please point out where I "personally insulted and attacked" you. Quote the post, and while your at it, defend your position that American drug usage has no bearing on cartel violence.

We will have to agree to disagree on the part I bolded. Mexicans are manufacturing the drugs that they import into the US. Additionally, to blame Americans for the barbaric crimes being committed in Mexico is just wrong. To my knowlege not a single American has beheaded a single person in Mexico.
While I agree that both countries have played a pivotal role in terms of supply and demand, it's totally unrealistic to state or believe that the US bares responsibility for what is going on in Mexico. IMHO the solution is to seal the southern border, stop all financial aid and let Mexico deal with her people and issues and America the same.
