What do people here think of Mexican drug cartels?

[PAH]

I pity the Americans who have to put up with living next door to it.

Not to mention all the tourists expecting jolly sombreros and tequila.

Beheading is not optional by the looks of things.

Mexican drug cartels are not worth losing your head over.

Yep, but I also wonder where all the money comes from in the Mexican drug trade.

I don't really have an opinion on them myself.

The one where people work stupid hours every day so they don't take time to spend bringing up their kids and then wonder why the very same kids blow money on drugs from Mexico? The one that then blames Mexicans for all the problems?

Is it the same one where people drive stupid SUVs that can't even manage 10mpg and then blame the Brits for oil spills after the Brits hired an American company to pump out the oil from under the Gulf of Mexico, before sending it to an American refinery to be made into petrol for their stupid great tulipty cars?

Just because BP chosen to oursource essential work (why?) does not mean they've outsourced ultimate responsibility for the project.

BP is guilty and will pay up but it has the right to sue sub-contractors to recover costs.
