So I assume you guys heard about the bombed natural gas line in mexico today. This was the second petroleum pipeline bombing in two months. Anybody think this will get worse?
and on a side note, am i the only one who thinks these mexican soldiers look like they got their crap from a surplus store?

Why is that? Because the Euro is worth so much against the Dollar they can come over here and buy up a bunch of shit for a low price. It's like Americans going to Mexico and buying shit.

It's like Americans going to Mexico and buying shit. Englands pound is worth TWICE what the dollar is. You think the illuminati can work us up a deal to get the dollar to that level? i mean the euro being 35% more than the dollar is nice, but England WRECKED me on spending. -------------------- |

So yeah... NOT the same cost as you think. -------------------- |

that's exactly what I meant... $13 to get a burger and fries. i.e. $ = US dollars. so that's what like £6.50?

I didn't post it when I first saw the topic because I figured this would've been the second post. Finally read the thread and...yeah.

Guess my joke was lost to you. I meant stable in just a general phrasing to the conditions inside Mexico. -------------------- |
