[quote=deadzone]early, arguing with you guys is pointless because your brains are so cluttered with sensationalist fearmongouring stories you can’t think straight.
I never said their are no risks in Mexico. But you guys insist that it is significantly MORE dangerouse than before, and I argue that it is not. You guys have no evididence to prove that it is more dangerous.
Was Baja a “sketchy” place to visit 10 or 20 years ago? I would say yes. But you guys are arguing as if it was some utopian place a few years ago and now all of a suddent it is a war zone. The fact is it is neither. Baja was a crap hole 20 years ago and it still is.
But if you loved to visit Baja 10-20 years ago and all of a sudden you are too “scared” to go down there today, then you are an idiot.[/quote]
I don’t think it’s “arguing” per se. I think it’s ok to have different opinions on any given subject. The world would be a boring place if we all thought the same thing.
I think in this case it’s just a difference of opinion. You say it’s as safe as 10-20 years ago and many of us are saying we don’t believe it is. I don’t think anyone is “fear mongering”. And as I mentioned, I definitely am not saying that people shouldn’t visit Mexico or Baja.
But I will disagree with you that it’s as safe as it was 20 years ago. We can agree to disagree. That’s ok. As well, I don’t think people are saying it was some peaceful “utopia” 10-20 years ago with no problems. I think people are saying that the violence and petty crime has escalated there and they choose to avoid it now until they can get a clearer picture of things. I wouldn’t call these people idiots for choosing not to go over now.
