Now we all know that some clever bum out there is thinking "oh boy I'm going to post about how pig flu is all hype and such" well balls to your thoughts and opinions this is about mindless exploitation in a time of economic hardship!

would CTP be smart to go to Mexico because its probabaly cheap? (as in I haven't looked)

I say this as like a "would you?" question so go ahead and answer me in a blog like way and we can all pretend to read each others posts :)

the normal tourist stuff your fine. You do something more to make money like smuggle in guns then the bribes to officials leaves you with barely enough profit to cover your vacation.

I have suggested on several occasions that if we replace the Constitution with the laws of acquisition society would be better off.

Yo no soy un avaricioso gringo pendejo que quiere aprovecharse de la desgracia de tu pais. Te prometo.

Anyway, you're putting dollars into their country during a time when much less is arriving than normal. So don't feel bad.

In Thailand we got the kids to Muay Thai each other for MREs.
Our captain found out and got upset, so we didn't do it for more then two days though.

the real money is in capturing live samples of the virus and selling it to fundamentalists in London I suspect :)

Is that why multi-million dollar a year cartels are forced to buy guns, one NICS at a time, from mom and pop gun stores along the US-Mexico border?

I agree that I'm a pretty nice guy I think I will just wait here for some Mexicans to thank me for all the work I'm doing

Thanks for that picture- it was... er...nice?


I was thinking something a bit more complex, that might even cause riots or start a civil war.

Hey just because I own a gun store along the border, doesn't mean my customers are all Mexican drug cartels.
Besides the real money is in selling bullets to them. Most of the guns are brought to them and bought farther in country. But, the bullets they will pay through the nose for to get them as fast as possible.

I always avoided those. I heard too many of them have more down there then you bargained for if you catch my drift.

your going to show them pictures of the US? :tongue:

I suppose you could hire mercenaries to take out the president and such (hell the US and drug lords might even help!) but then where do you go after you've been made Emperor?

The last emperor of Mexico learned that Mexicans don't take kindly to an emperor. the really sad part is he was the ruler who cared the most about Mexican people in the entire history of Mexico.
