[http://www.mexconnect.com/articles/2910-toilet-paper-and-mexican-plumbing](http://www.mexconnect.com/articles/2910-toilet-paper-and-mexican-plumbing) Your posting is a perfect example of out-of-touch liberals who have no idea the reality of the problem of illegal immigration. Either that or you are some kind of pro-illegal propagandist. Either way you are out of touch.

That post closed while I was looking for the link that verifies my remarks here it is.

However, indoor plumbing rates ranged from more than 90 percent in Mexico City to less than 40 percent in Oaxaca and Chiapas.

Eat your words and weep. Mexicans are barbarians, look at the way their stupid poor overpopulate, and their drug cartels run their government. These inferiors threaten the very existence of American culture because we have been way to generous. Pain is what other nations use to keep illegals out. We should also jail those who aid illegals.

Nowhere in your link is there anything to back up your claim that “60% of all Mexicans don’t know how to flush a toilet”.

It merely mentions there are parts of Mexico where many people don’t have toilets.

Men without a girlfriend may not be having sex with women but it doesn’t mean they don’t know how to have sex with women.

You might be able to get away with ranting like this in the Pit, but it’s not appropriate here. Other people want to have a serious discussion, and in any case this is pretty offensive. I’m giving you a formal warning here: don’t do this again.

You must be Mexican. Try a little math 100% less 40% equals 60%, duh! 😃

This is no rant. This thread has been around for some time. My remarks are supported by links, not ranting emotion apparently generated by freeloaders on the U. S. taxpayer.

If your message board can not deal with reality, that is really not my problem. The Straight Dope does not even make the top 20 boards on the internet, and the technology is at least twenty years old. You are lucky to have members. Show some appreciation and step out of your bubble to where the rubber meets the road.

And now personal insults on top of that.

We’re lucky most of them are smarter and less obnoxious than you. Adios.
