Bodies found as Mexicans march against drug violence - Polidicks

I'm thrilled they're marching against drug violence, but 59 bodies? Damn.

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;29040731]as can a man who's getting hammered on alcohol?[/QUOTE] Except hallucinogenics disable the part of the brain that keeps you anchered to reality, you're much morel ikely to do something stupid while on one of them than something like alcohol, with PCP being much, much worse

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;29041744]well that's quite interesting considering alcohol related crimes are much, much more prevalent than any hallucinogen.[/QUOTE] Maybe that's because alcohol is legal?

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;29041769]Maybe that's because alcohol is legal?[/QUOTE] so what you're saying is if PCP is legalized the use is going to inflate so much that it causes more problems than alcohol? pretty sure the legality of a substance has no bearing on it's demand, see: prohibition of alcohol.

Call of Juarez The Cartel is gonna be sweet.

PCP on hte other hand is a rather obscure drug, which if made legal would likely be made much more popular.

[QUOTE=SgtCr4zyAlt;29042552]how exactly would it become popular just because it is legal? is there any evidence to back this up?[/QUOTE] You don't need evidence to realise that if you legalize a drug that's been banned for ages people are going to flock to try it out

[QUOTE=ewitwins;29034268]Considering the fact that over 35,000 people have died in this whole thing, I think it's pretty easy to say that I will NOT be going to Mexico any time soon :I[/QUOTE] I've been to Mexico twice, it really depends on where you go. If you stick to tourist locations you're fine.

These drug cartels have the same operating capability as Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Why are we fighting someone that's half a world away while we have these guys right on our borders?

Cause dropping one ton bombs near the border would be very odd.

I do like how the spotlight gang, the Zetas, are US Military trained bodyguards that ended up going rogue and working for cartels because the cartels can afford a better salary then the Mexican Government. Now they are rampant and spilling into parts of America. When will the US learn not to train and arm foreigners, it always bites them in the ass.

To be honest there are much worse things than a few rogue military trained bodyguards.

Uh they are a major driving force behind the violence in Mexico. These guys are like something you see in Hollywood. Los Zetas are extremely well armed and equipped; they tend to wear tactical gear such as [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_armor"]body armor[/URL] and ballistic helmets, and wield an arsenal that includes [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AR-15"]AR-15[/URL] and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-47"]AK-47[/URL] rifles, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP5"]MP5[/URL] submachine guns, heavy machine guns, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grenade_launcher"]grenade launchers[/URL], surface-to-air missiles, [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamite"]dynamite[/URL], and helicopters.[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Zetas#cite_note-Grayson-5"][6][/URL] They are known to operate with modern [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiretap"]wiretapping equipment[/URL]. Los Zetas are known to operate with a higher tactical degree than the local authorities, often disguised as [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Police_%28Mexico%29"]Federal Police[/URL] and driving vehicles stolen from or disguised as law enforcement vehicles. They didn't just train to be bodyguards. Imagine 30-40 Navy Seals going rogue to work for a cartel and then spreading that knowledge to other para militants.
