Baja losing U.S.-born tourists
At the very same your friends returned from Baja, a young American woman surfer named Josie McKee was also camping on the beach in Baja. She had her truck stolen while she was sleeping in it and ended up with a broken collar bone. http://www.youcaring.com/other/let-s-help-out-jos…— January 6, 2015 2:03 p.m.
Because the governor wouldn't need the Red Cross
"I'm busy"? Is that what passes for a cogent response in Mexico? You know it is illegal, but cannot find the law that says so. You just "know." You want the penal code that makes prostitution legal? Penal codes tell you what is illegal. How would you like to write the laws saying what is legal? How many possible things can a human being do? Do you think you can list them all to make them legal? Jeeze what a Neanderthal.— October 25, 2014 8:14 p.m.
Because the governor wouldn't need the Red Cross
OK, since you have lived in Mexico for 22 years and are fluent in Spanish, you should have no trouble at all showing us the Penal Code section which makes prostitution illegal. So, please show us all where it says prostitution is illegal. I'll tell you right now it is not at Chapter IV, Article 267. That only makes pandering (pimping) illegal. OK, now, give us the Penal Code that says prostitution is illegal. We can wait. To help you out, here is a link to the Baja California Penal Code: www.ordenjuridico.gob.mx/Estatal/BAJA%20CALIFORNI…— October 17, 2014 7:44 p.m.
Because the governor wouldn't need the Red Cross
(1) Prostitution in not illegal in Mexico. Pimping is illegal. (2) Clubs can purchase a special license from Tijuana to stay open after hours, which costs them more money. That is why they are open. (3)The Red Cross gets money from public school student contributions, and the state is the conduit, but it is not state money, it is private money. If you would spend the time to learn Spanish and understand the country you live in, and stay out of bars at 3AM, you might learn something. You cannot learn about Mexico from a bartender.— October 16, 2014 1:40 a.m.
Because the governor wouldn't need the Red Cross
Let's clear up some misconceptions from the eternally ignorant who reside in Mexico and spout rumors instead of facts. First of all, the Mexican Red Cross is a non-governmental, not-profit organization which receives absolutely no governmental funding. The Mexican Red Cross is funded entirely by private donations. Mexico's laws actually prohibit the government from being involved in the Red Cross. Secondly, the Tijuana Red Cross chapter has been notoriously corrupt and this corruption has been reported by Zeta. For instance, the head of the Tijuana Red Cross, Fernando Esquer, was caught selling off equipment and pocketing the cash. In another area, he was "selling" the right to his Red Cross employees to collect money in the boot on the street corners. The price was each employee had to pay Esquer $40 per day for the right to collect, and the employee got to keep the rest. That's correct, none of the money collected on the street was going to the Red Cross. This was such a scandal, the paramedics were banned from collecting donations in 2010. Of course, following standard Mexican practices, absolutely nothing was done about the monies taken from the Red Cross.— October 15, 2014 1:03 p.m.
Not the Israel my parents fought for
This article has so many factual errors, it should be labeled science fiction. In 1993, Israel and the Palestinian Authority signed the Oslo Accords. In it, the PLO recognized Israel as a sovereign nation with a right to exist. In return, Israel recognized the PLO as the sole representative of the Palestinian people and created the Palestinian Authority and granted it self-governance over the West Bank and Gaza. The two parties were to negotiate permanent borders, negotiate the status of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Israel was to withdraw from Gaza. Instead of honoring the Oslo Accords, Yassar Arafat went back and started the Infitada. He never changed the Charter of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, which to this very day still says that Israel has no right to exist, as does Hamas. The PLO and Hamas have now joined together politically. Israel withdrew entirely from Gaza, and the Palestinians immediately started lobbing rockets into civilian targets in Israel, all the while claiming Israel has no right to exist. The article says Israeli's and Palestinians do not mix, yet fails to mention that 20% of the population of Israel are Palestinian Arabs. No credible source could overlook such a fact, unless the goal was to purposely deceive the reader. Miko Peled is a putz.— October 13, 2014 2:07 p.m.
TJ's a tough place to own a small business
I'm impressed. A gringo living illegally in Tijuana knows more about what is happening than the president of the National Chamber of Small Businesses. I've been around for six decades and if airplanes crash, I would have seen it at least once! Since I have never seen an airplane crash, then they must not really crash, I'm sure it is just some bureaucrat who says airplanes crash.— September 18, 2014 12:02 a.m.
TJ cops threatening to tourism?
The Tijuana police chief, Alejandro Lares Valladares, fired the commander of the Tijuana Tourist Police and four other police commanders yesterday.— April 9, 2014 9:06 p.m.
9/11 is the best thing that ever happened to Baja cuisine
*"9/11 is the best thing that ever happened to Baja cuisine"?* Could you possibly think of a more demeaning way to portray the deaths of 3,000 people at the hands of terrorists? What will be your next glamor article, "How Hitler was good for the Jews? " What a *pendejo.*— December 27, 2013 12:34 p.m.
