The land of the free!

[dyresand]

I would live there but you know US says we as US citizens cannot own land in mexico.

The US doesn't say you can't, the Mexican government says you can't, but it's slightly more complicated than that:

"Article 27 of the constitution prohibits non-Mexicans from directly owning land within 31 miles (50 kilometers) of the coast and 62 miles (100 kilometers) of the nation's borders."

So you could buy land in Mexico if you are not a Mexican, as long as it's not in a restricted area, but I believe they have loosened those restrictions since that article was written.

Oh okay thank you

People need a little time to appreciate the land of the free. I mean the real land of the free:

Mexico is badass. You really can do whatever you want there. You want to set off fireworks in the middle of the street? Nobody is going to stop you, hell, it'll probably be a good reason to throw back a little more mescal and start a party that'll last until 7 in the morning. Most American's are too big of pussies to handle real freedom. Real freedom means no such thing as a noise complaint, that you can party until 6 in the morning and then go out and pick some peyote and go on a spirit quest. You want to drive on the curb? In America that's a 200 dollar ticket, in Mexico it's just how you get around the slow person in front of you. A stop sign is more of a suggestion in Mexico. You want to fall asleep on the sidewalk in the middle of the day? Nobody is going to call you a bum, they are probably going to take you into their house to sober up and feed you tacos. The government sucks and as a result, people take care of each other.

American's are so gentrified and frankly, have become a bunch of pussies. They are taught that Mexico is a dangerous place and I think what they are really afraid of is what true freedom looks like. Viva Mexico!

I'm going to sound like a cynical bastard now but that place sounds like my fucking nightmare.

Never been into fireworks, I hate having my sleep disrupted, I don't drink, I think drug fuelled spirit quests are bullshit, I don't like the idea of people driving on the curb but it really depends on the context, I'd rather sleep in a bed than on a sidewalk.

Well probably best to stay in boring white people land then. That's another thing about going to Mexico. If you go, try not to hang out with other Americans or Europeans. If you are doing that, you are probably just experiencing America with a different background setting.

Apparently Mexicans feel the same way....human turds like Trump notwithstanding.

More Mexicans Leaving Than Coming to the U.S.

Of course. America is hard sold to Mexicans with totally unrealistic expectations. Most Mexicans who cross the border have intentions to return once they've made some money. That's because Mexico rules. Next time I go down there, I'll stop in Arizona and pick up your ancient white ass and take you down there to experience it for yourself.

Mexico ??

Meh, you can't get a decent pair of pappagallos there.

[The Grand Nudger]

.....sounds like a shithole.

[Crossless2.0]

Fireworks and peyote?

*Rubs chin thoughtfully*

Yeah, I could get behind that.

[SteelCurtain]

That's because you don't know how awesome it is to drive in Mexico.

Drive in Saudi Arabia, and get back to me.

Or Qatar.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Driving in the US suck balls. Stuck in traffic for hours behind lines of assholes who are the only person driving an SUV that can seat 8 and has never been offroad once. Then you are sitting a stop light where you are the only one stopped thinking 'why do I let a light rule my life? I know it's safe to go, but I let my life be dictated by some light. Not in Mexico baby! You go when you know it's safe or when you feel like it! Viva Mexico!

You should take up heroin.
