"wow... you're such a liberal environmental whacko! I am from Mexico, and I loved to read your blog. And as I
imagine that you are there to learn Spanish, I thought you would like to read this in Spanish, but the truth is that you are
going, but so far to the left that soon you will make circles like crazy. To you, what does it matter that the
people eat red meat and cut down the forests or not?
Look, if England was the Utopia that you so much think it is, it would not be full of shit like it is now- full of illegals, full of corruption and a section of Islam-Fascists.
Look, Mexico will have its problems, but at least we people are more authentic and live in a world of real and
practical solutions that haven't taken away our needs.
And so, the next time you plan to criticize the government of Mexico so much, federal, state, or local, think of all those
who need to eat. If you really want to change the world with your liberal ideas, there you have to England that no
longer is recognized...
Well, on the other hand I like your photos and your blog as much as the other travelers. Good luck, and I hope they
don't continue putting garbage in your head in those "Universities" full of liberal, leftist, socialist, communist professors.
Ah! I almost forgot that the Zapatistas are only a section of unconforming Indians that want everything without lifting a
finger... Bye!"
And now I will respond in English:
Where did you get the idea that I am from England? Or that I have ever been there? Or that I know anything about it at all? Or that I think England is a utopia? Or that I think any country is perfect, let alone a "Utopia"? I have many criticisms of every country out there, I am merely writing about Mexico because I am here right now, and taking a class on it.
To me, it does matter if people eat red meat for many reasons, most of which the environmental factors which I believe I explained- maybe you should go back and read it, or check out the multitude of literature on why our environment needs jungles and forests like the Lancondon. You obviously did not read everything I wrote, and are reading much more into it that what I actually did write.
Also, you tell me to think before criticizing Mexico- then you say you don't like the Zapatistas anyway! Whom did you think I was talking about?? And of course I am thinking of those who need to eat. The land issue is very complex, which is probably why it hasn't been solved yet and why people are still hungry. This was just my view on what is going on right now, on this particular way of solving the issue. Of course there need to be practical solutions- but cutting down trees to raise cattle for a few years is not practical, because the land is ruined after that and then the people starve again. I do not know what the practical solution is, only that the current one is not the right one. I think you are taking my opinions and statements too seriously- this is just an observation, and I believe I have said many good things about Mexico.
As for "socialist, communist, leftist, garbage" that the university is putting in my head? That statement comes off very rude and ignorant, as well as calling me a “whacko”, so I am going to warn you that if you comment with that tone again, I will block you from commenting. I am glad you enjoy my photos and travel stories, but the politics and people are a part of this land, too, and I am going to write about it. If you don't like it, don't read it! Its that easy.
wow... ...you're such a liberal, environmental whacko!!!
Soy de México, y me encantó leer tu blog. Y como me imagino que estás allá para aprender español, pensé que te gustaría leer esto en español, pero la verdad es que te estás yendo muy pero muy a la izquierda que pronto darás círculos como loca. A ti ¿qué te importa que la gente coma carnes rojas y que corten o no los bosques. Mira, si Inglaterra fuera la Utopia que tanto piensas que es, no estaría llena de mierda como está ahora -- llena de ilegales, llena de corrupción y una bola de islamo-fascistas. Mira, México tendrá sus problemas, pero por lo menos somos gente más auténtica que vive en un mundo de problemas reales y soluciones prácticas, soluciones que nos han sacado de muchos apuros. Asi que la próxima vez que piense criticar el gobierno de México tanto federal, estatal o local, piensa que todos tienen que comer. Si tanto quieres cambiar el mundo con tus ideales liberales, ahí tienes a Inglaterra que ya no se reconoce... Bueno, por otro lado me gustan tus fotos y tu blog como de muchos otros viajeros. Buena suerte, y espero que no te sigan metiendo tanta basura en la cabeza en esas "universidades" llenas de profesores liberales e izquierdistas, socialistas y comunistas. ¡Ah!, casi olvido que los Zapatistas son solamente una bola de indios inconformes que quieren todo sin levantar un dedo... ¡Adiós!
haha, it is kinda like US, in some ways! I'm at a Starbucks, next to Domino's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Nexttel, OfficeMax, and Sam's Club. And I am tanner! but other than that, the countries are pretty different.
I love finding Starbucks in other countries. I know it should make me mad, but when I found Starbucks in Lima I was so happy!
Last night I had a dream about you and I asked you why you weren't in Mexico. You said Mexico was just like the US. Weird. Also you were very tan. So hopefully you're very tan and having fun in Mexico, which is not like the US at all.
