TV Blamed for Fear of Mexico

By ARTHUR FROMMER Published: Saturday, March 21, 2009 at 12:01 a.m. Last Modified: Saturday, March 21, 2009 at 9:48 p.m. Recently, my daughter, Pauline, tangled with a famous television talk-show host on the question of tourism to Mexico - and held her own.

Never trust a man who makes his living from commissions.

[Freddy]

well, They certainly make their living from commissions and reputation, so they cannot take it so easy and talk in public about those issues if they are not certain about what is going on.

On the other hand they supporting information regarding the problems in Mexico are well supported with statistics and some well recognized newspapers. this is not something about what an specific person think, this is about facts

And facts says places like cancun, puerto vallarta, and so on...have not any problem about the drug dealers and more over there is no a war in those areas....

Name another major city!

[Rogerg]

Bet it won't be Monterrey, Mexico. Their killings every week there.

[Freddy]

Washington D.C. has one of the hightest murder rate in the world.
Just because of that part of true, I will not say United States is burning in murders...thinking that ways is not thinking out of the box.

The point of my comment was related to not thinking all those cities i mentioned previosly are burning like some media tend to show. So you do not take my comment so literally.

ALL cities in the world have problems, people murdered, etc.

What I would like people understand is that those places as cancun, puerto vallarta and so.. do not have the big problem Mexico is facing in those border cities such as Chihuahua,Laredo,Tijuana..

I have an opinion about above comment.

"Wake up Mexico! Clean up and take responsibility for your failures.8000 DEAD in last year from the cowardly drug lords is unacceptable!!! "

People tend to see this drug cartel issue being the responsibility on Mexico's part. But USA is also as responsible as Mexico or greater when "demand" part is examined. Weapons coming from the US plays a big role in drug-related problem. USA has gradually acknowledged its issue in the strong, very organized drug routes within the States.
It is wrong to condemn every drug related problem to Mexico. The drug problem is an interdependent issue of both countries. Both countries' effort to admit its failure is essential to eliminate the problem.

Might be nice if the Mexican side did something about checking for guns and money flowing in, but I guess they are to busy blaming to do anything else.

Middleburg, Va.(WUSA)-- The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office continues to work with the Middleburg Police Department in the investigation of a series of commercial burglaries in the downtown business district of Middleburg. On Friday, March 20, 2009, investigators with the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division, working in conjunction with officers from the Middleburg Police, executed a search warrant at a residence in the 100 block of West Marshall Street.

Also located in the home was marijuana, over $1,500.00 in cash, and a Remington 12 gauge shotgun with the serial number removed. William "Martin" Thomas, 36, of Middleburg, was arrested and taken to the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center where he was held with no bond on narcotics and weapons charges. On Saturday, March 21, 2009, three businesses in the downtown area were discovered burglarized. The Saddlery Liquidators, Lou Lou Too, and White Bench were forcible entered and money from the cash register and other property stolen. The Loudoun County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division continues to investigate a series of incidents in the Middleburg area. On March 12th, 2009 a woman reported an attempted sexual assault at a barn just outside of town. On March 15th, 2009 seven businesses in the downtown area were burglarized. On March 17th, 2009 Mr. Jeffrey Allen O'Brien, 18, of Middleburg was arrested after he was found in the 100 block of W.

Have you ever shopped in Sears, Walmart, The Bay, etc. where employees are on salary or hourly wage. You practically have to swipe something to get someones attention. There is no incentive to service the customer because whether they do or do not they still get paid. A commissioned sales person is obligated to service you well because if they don't they don't get paid. Now if you have had a bad experiance with a commissioned salesperson then do not blame the method by which they are paid. That has notjhing to do with their commission. If your logic is that the commissioned salesperson is trying to get the actual selling price from the customers instead of the customer getting a lower price through negotiation then the problem is with the customer. Why do customers feel they are entitled to a lower price on an article which has an established retail price. Do you negotiate the price of your groceries when checking out? The fact that customers expect to negotiate results in the retailer increasing his prices to allow for such an event. Commission wages are there as an incentive for the salesperson to do well through performance and be rewarded for it. The customer is the winner.

Mexico's failure was not being able to prevent the pot from the United States and Canada crossing their borders in exchange for the cocane coming north from Columbia and South America. Mexico by comparison grows nothing. They only transport from one border to the other. Canadians and americans are entirely to blame. Without our drugs crossing the border there is no cocane to be exchanged along with firarms. we are the problemm. Not the Mexicans.

You should live in Mexico, they have no concept of "service" in any store.

You should give up your citizenship, if you indeed are a citizen, and move to Mexico. You would fit right in.

He is the second president in the history of Mexico, Fox being the first, to attempt to uphold the laws and improve the morality of the Mexican Government. Mexico is simply not used to obeying laws. Get use to it.

used to it" is because those rats are perpetuating on power,try to change your mind and there will be a better chance to change the laws and not simple get used to it.

Drug laws, laws against bribery, laws to protect women and children, things like that.
Is that a problem for your life style?

Let me see if I have this right Drugs come into the united states so a bunch of druggers can get high and hopefully od. The cartels are fighting over control, and killing the hell out of each other. Where's the downside?
