OT: Mexico reconquers California? Absolut drinks to that!

Being the brunt of the joke doesn’t bother me.Certainy doesn’t make me want to remember how the U.S. kicked Mexican ass.LOL. I hate the way advertisers play off psychological weaknesses in people, which I believe is the point of the piece. The fact that they do this with addictive mood altering products, to a group that includes a large number of people who hardly need more problems with it, is atrocious.In the U.S they apparently target young men who can get any. Just as bad.

There was once a Ford commercial that says something like….”mi nuevo Ford Focus me hace mas que mis raices mas que el color de mi piel.” My new Ford focus makes me more than my roots, more than the color of my skin. Disgusting. Buy a Ford Focus now or be brown forever!

Personally I don’t think most Americans would know the difference. If they can’t find Florida on a map, would they really miss the southwest?

To my new overlords, yo hablo el Espanol.

Joking aside, can anyone set the historical record straight here. Wasn’t Mexico’s claim on the South West when it was part of Spain. And after Mexico’s independence from Spain, these areas were only held for about forty years, before becoming a part of the US. I also seem to remember that the Emperor of Mexico was a Hapsburg, which makes Arnie’s claim stronger than Felipe’s. So that’s how he became governor. Putting aside all indigenous arguments, for Mexico to claim that California is their land, is a bit like saying the East Coast is rightfully still British. Seems a little cock-eyed to me.

The Habsburg was the head of state of an occupying army (French) so hardly a legitimate claim, especially since he was executed by the Mexicans. And no, it’s not like saying the East Coast is still British, it’s like saying that parts of Arizona still belong to the Navajo (since Mexicans are largely indigenous North Americans). Alta California was part of Mexico for about 300 years (longer than it’s been part of the USA). Baja California has been part of Mexico for about 450 years. Just because the occupying Spanish were the “owners” doesn’t decrease the legitimacy of the claim.
