    Do you think he isn't aware of the condition of his country? :saint:

    It wasn't the facts that I was concerned about him reading.

    Has there been any American bashing here? I must have missed it.

    Questioning other BB members? I stand guilty. I think it deplorable that an entire nation is pilloried by Americans for something as stupid as booing at a beauty pageant.

    No one answered my question. If Mexico is a rag of a country because they are poor, what is a country who kills 50 million citizens in 30 years?

    The whole name calling idea in nonsense, IMHO.

    Seems like we might consider as a nation taking care of the beam in our eye instead of picking at the specks in others.

    I'll bash it. We all need to collectively and objectively look at ourselves in our collective mirrors and say something is not right about our individual countries. There is something not right about Mexico to have around 10% of their population fleeing it to come to the United States and there is something not right about the United States in not enforcing the laws to prevent such activity. Further, the U.S. solutions to this chaos is potentially worse then the chaos itself.

    I would agree that the pageant is an exercise in severe stupidity and objectification. After being impressed that Romo didn't fumble that question, Miss America's answer was about as stereotypically cheesy as most pageant answers are. However, back to the crowd, this is not the first time the Mexican public has been disrespectful of the United States. Do you remember the U.S. v Mexico soccer game where the Mexican crowd chanted "Osama, Osama, Osama"? You see any of the pictures of Mexicans raising their flag on U.S. soil? This is the type of behavior that is not going to ingratiate an American public or at least the remaining ones that still care about it.
    Mexico also aborts babies and any nation that condones, via legalization, these acts is a rag of a country.
    Tru dat. How 'bout we just stick to "socialist", as once upon a time that was a bad name but was more accurate than "rag".

    I agree. I think a good starting point would be to become a nation of law again. We could send all illegal aliens to their country of origin (with a bill for $5,000) before this beam tears the United States apart.

    Excellent post, the key being the end of the post. Lets enforce the law instead of just calling names.

    Oh, I agree with that, about enforcing the laws. Enforcing the laws was not the subject of the OP, however. Neither was abortion.

    But since you brought up the subject, Roger, here are some stats from 2006 - the US and Mexico aren't the only rags of countries when it comes to abortions:
