Things that Make You Say "Hmmmm...."

Just found this interesting. Like when Johnny Depp in "Pirates of the Carribean" found out there was a curse he said, "So there is a curse. That's interesting."

  1. Go to www.cia.gov and compare Mexico to the United States, particularly measures of standards of living like GDP per capita, unemployment, etc.

    Basically it boils down to (and forgive my bluntness), but Mexico sucks, the United States rules in comparison, and they are geographically close enough that Mexicans are enticed to leave their home country and try for a better life in the US.

    (This no doubt will insult people, but I'm more concerned about the truth than I am hurting people's feelings.)

  2. Yes, that is certainly happening, however you are also correct to assume that whites are leaving, and they are. They are going into Utah, Nevada, and other neighboring states.

    Funny thing is that the Californians that move to these states somewhat annoy the locals. I've read several articles about how a small town in Utah gets miffed by a big time Californian investor buying up a huge piece of property and plants a huge house on the land. Things like that.

  3. Arnold isn't that bad. You just have a lot of people who don't care to work, yet have everything paid for (and this is more of a criticism of the natives that the immigrants, legal or otherwise), and so it should be no surprise that you see capital and intellectual flight out of the state and into neighboring states.
