Destination - Shit Hole

May 11, 2007 @ 09:14

There's a report out today revealing some shocking statistics about travel to Mexico for Canadians.

Of all the countries we can travel to, Mexico carries the highest risk for harm. Here's the deal.

A total of 1,133 Canadian travellers reported to Canadian authorities they were assaulted on foreign soil between the years 2000 and 2006. Of those, Mexico leads the list with 173 reported assault cases. China was next with 105 and Cuba with 62. Thailand was fourth with 45 and the United States followed with 40.

Meanwhile, I had a couple of responses to yesterday's posting about Mexico. A couple of people feel I'm being hypocritical for being so hard on Mexico because I've traveled there.

But there's a bit of a time line problem here, and a misconception.

The last time I traveled to Mexico was early 2004, before all this bullshit started to happen.

Most recently, it was my son Danny who went to Mexico and it was against my better wishes as you can see in this posting from February.

Dear Nevada, Make sure you stop Sharron Angle ... the girl's arguments seem to always be an illustration of incoherent bigotry.

Why could it be that CNN fired Rick Sanchez, however , Laura Schlessinger's horribly hurtful responses are allowed.

Why can it be that CNN dismissed Rick Sanchez, although Laura Schlessinger's unbelievably hateful responses are permitted.

What kind of person will find the daring to tell Sanchez never add in mayonnaise into your corned beef on rye? He's from Miami. You'd probably imagine he would be aware.

Lindsay Lohan Will Go to Rehab Today. If this isn't just her attempting to keep from jail then it is really stupid! She's likely to stop by prison for a month irrelevant of who the judge is. After all in LA that means 6-8 days!
