Answer 1

Bassmeister-D : I am Mexican and I did know that, the problem with you is you think you are better than others. Travel a little more and come to Mexico, you will see we are a lot more civilized than many U.S. cities like L.A. or Philadelphia.

And I am not generalizing, I am speaking only about you, I have a lot of U.S. friends and they are pretty cool and open minded.
