What an F’d Up country.

This should cause Mexico to rise in arms and toss out the Cartels, the corrupt Government and the 400 rich families that call all the shots. Where is Zapata when you need him? Mexicans in the USA should go south, armed, and bring freedom back to Mexico in the spirit of Juarez. What happened to the brave people of Mexico? Have they been crastrated or something? To stand by and let children and sutdents be murdered and say nothing? A sad day for Mexico, the Lady of Guadalupe in weeping. One Mexico was a land of saints. Once it was a land of patriots. Now it has become a land of victims—of sheep who do not deserve the title of Mexican Citizen—best to come to the USA and go on welfare—then the only thing you need to do is vote right.

They say that the key to good brand humor is the sweet spot between the benign and the totally inappropriate. So late Sunday night, @CrunchMX — the Mexican Twitter account for Nestle’s Crunch candy bar — made a go of it: “A los de Ayotzinapa les dieron Crunch,” the account tweeted, a little pun on its namesake candy bar. Translation? “They crunched those from Ayotzinapa.” … “Those from Ayotzinapa” being the 43 trainee teachers who were apparently abducted, killed incinerated and ground up by a local drug gang in late September, and whose disappearance has sparked a national outcry.

Liberals have no boundaries.

No, wait, you didn't hear me:

Liberals.Have.No.Boundaries.

They are clinical sociopaths. Doesn't matter why - antidepressants, moral weakness, hypocrisy, indulging in cruelty, whatever. The point is that they have no boundaries, and they simply do not recognize when something is inappropriate.

Think of how many times, even in one day, your conscience checks you. You realize, "nope, I can't go there" or "nope, I can't do that."

Now imagine that never happening to you. Imagine taking enough drugs, and opening yourself up to enough moral equivalency, and hanging around enough mocking laughter at the very thought of morality, that you simply never feel your conscience.

That's a liberal.

The only time a liberal will get offended is when their group tells them to be offended - and then only in the amount and in the way they are told to be. And the reason they can do that is precisely because they have no conscience of their own - their own, personal conscience would get in the way of the group's commands. So they have to choose - and they choose moral suicide. Which, of course, they call real morality, as defined by obedience to their political group.

Theory to you. Reality to them.

As a result, they giggle and sell candybars by laughing at the butchery of 47 people. How can they do this? Easy - they were told to. And they were told it was funny. So therefore - and get this - to them, it WAS funny. And if they get orders that it's no longer funny, it won't be funny anymore. And if they are told it's sad, they'll cry - and feel it. For them, the reaction is not the point - obedience is the point, and there is NO other point. For anything. Ever.

Liberals aren't what you think they are - they aren't misguided people who need to understand better. No. They've sold their souls to the group. Not metaphorically, but for real.

For real.

It has had periods of Christain oppression, Los Cristeros (or similar title) is a recent movie about those events.

Many Mexicans have a reflexive hatred of the US, often drawn from the slanted news reporting, or what passes for news reporting, in the nation.

Corruption is more than tolerated; it is often experienced from childhood.

From history I am not sure where you claim that Mexico was once so different. About a hundred years ago Pancho Villa raided Columbus, New Mexico, killed several US citizens, and departed the scene. He is celebrated now and was celebrated then. There is plenty of good in the country too, but not enough, and from the history of oppression, I am not trusting it was much different in the past.

This is actually the third vile and unfunny “joke” i’ve heard today from a mainstream source. This is the worst by far.

“During a discussion about rigid quality and control rules, I remember the CEO saying: “with that many people, somebody, somewhere is going to be doing something really stupid.”

Unfortunately, in this case it was someone the entire world could see. This idiot could end up costing them millions

[Shimmer1]

ewwwww

[Dante3]

Disgusting.

[GeronL]

Sounds like Nestle was on the side of the cartels

[BenLurkin]

Those “students” were Communist criminals.

They got treated to third world style justice.

[SamAdams76]

Classic! I'm going to order up a case of Nestle bars.

One Mexico was a land of saints. Once it was a land of patriot.

When was that?

[Nuc 1.1]

Is the entire world insane?

[The_Media_never_lie]

The obscene thing is the 43 disappeared, not the fact that someone made a bad joke.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

And I thought Skittles advertising was whacko.

[uncitizen]

And why does the State Dept have one?
