what does this matter? the rate of crime HERE locally has risen. who gives a damn about the rest. whats the meaning of this? great tourist ad.

Useless info I agree ... the "gringo" should know better than copy this to a HIP message board

Notice I only used one BOLD word x2

sparks, they love statistics. the more meaningless the better. all i know is that home invasions are on the rise. they no longer wait for you to go out, its progressed to more violent trend. next he will post that there were more home invasions somewhere north of texas. ok guess we have nothing to worry about. its also worse in bosnia. & the congo.

I guess it is time for me to go stand in the corner now that Sparks and apparently susan have voiced their collective wisdoms.

cheena, have you ever looked @another point of view? where is the wisdom w/those stats? find ajijic stats. that what people want. find out the safest gated places, or non gated.

Ah well .... I kinda owed you one after that thrashing you tried to give me on Pedro's board as I was handing it over to him. We all see how that turned out.

There's probably tons of undiscovered trivia statistics on Mexico out there but do we need them all re-pasted?

Did you keep the "back door" key to that board?

Nope ... I didn't want any part of it. I get in enough battles with the bored and retired on message boards. Pedro isn't even interesting
