I feel that this country is de-industrializing and heading toward third world status. The national debt already exceeds GDP. Just wait till unemployment runs out and you have millions with no income and empty stomachs. The rich and conspicuous will be targets. As for laws, they are selectively enforced. In my opinon foreign money comes with strings attached and is very bad for the locals. I for one would not be happy being the servant of foreign capital. The dollar is heading for disaster and many nations will lose their investments in Treasuries. Does anyone think that foreign nations will want to invest in a country that inflates away their investments? How will they deal with American citizens looting their properties to feed themselves?

Don`t panic...my friend. U.S. Americans just have to stop borrowing money and save more... If America doesn`t change we are gonna keep borrowing and borrowing..... and that will be the end.

You've got all types of races bundled up as "Latinized" (Civilized or living in Cities), and then you have "Not latinized" barbarians divided by race.
I didn't know that.

Interesting.

Maybe, but not in most parts of the county.
I can't believe, in this day and age, that you said "I can't blame them" referring to people not wanting to be called black. Seriously, I am African-American, educated and so is my husband. Don't you know that not everyone fits your stereotype? Don't you know that I have tons of friends and family (my cousin is a surgeon) who don't fit your stereotype? Why don't you realize that there are negatives and positives to every race and just get over it? Seriously, and I really don't mean to offend you, but, wow!

You are correct that property in South Florida is extremely inexpensive compared with similar property in large cities in Spain.
Isn't Spain seeing one of Europe's biggest Real Estate busts?

As to racial make up of Miami. Coming to this forum you get the impression that no one in Miami speaks English, they all ride donkeys and rock sombreros. Thing is, every weekend I am in Miami and I have never found a shortage of non Latinos. I have also never had the problem of finding people who speak English either.

Once you except the fact that there are ignorant people on this planet and they will be so until the day they die, you will stop being offended and start enjoying life
