OmiZIHón de Deber Municipal

They’re supposed to begin work on the new walkway from La Gaviota to Caprichio Del Rey next week.

Wow! Who would have thought Sailfest and Guitar fest were not supporting the local community. Interesting.

Hola
I dont understand why you bitch so much about all the BS that the local mayor is doing but do nothing about it. Try lying down infront of the bulldozers. Show some balls instead of just ranting about it. Put some action where your mouth is. Us foreigners, as you like to call us, cant do anything."

@victorio

Though it is accurate, I don't care for the use of that terminology "foreigners", either. I.M.O, It has a hostile vibe to it.
Surely others don't have that perception, fine, O.K.

I would prefer, for example:
Visitors from Canada (or wherever)
vacationers from the USA
Tourists from "X" wherever it is.
A bit more "Kinder & gentler" as it should / could be?

As far as "can't do anything", about many issues, that's the case, e.g. the Alacalde's cement habit.
It has been mentioned to contact the local Gobierno's Fb page, or deliver a written statement to the H. Ayuntamiento.
That said, in general, "Foreigners " intervening isn't well accepted, and in fact prohibited in some situations.
So, I don't think it would make any difference.

Though, in other situations unrelated, such as dog issues, assisting with donations to the lower income population,
"Foreigners" have had an impact and made a difference.

"Extranjero" is the word we use here in Spanish to describe anyone not from Mexico, and it translates to foreigner. I was unaware it bothered you all so much. Why such thin skin?

Foreigners intervening isn't well accepted? What????? They sure accepted all these charity events started by extranjeros and co-opted by el niño del cemento for his own political purposes. If anyone is violating Art. 33 it's the extranjeros involved in those charities, especially the ones responsible for building all those schools in what is supposed to be our ecological zones. The photos of the smiling politician (the same one each time) at all those events speak for themselves. Tens of thousands of poorly informed voting citizens believe he's the one responsible for helping them. Not you all. " end quote

Re: "Extranjero" is the word we use here in Spanish to describe anyone not from Mexico, and it translates to foreigner. I was unaware it bothered you all so much. Why such thin skin?

NO NO NO, you MISINTERPRETED my comment. Let's clarify--->
& NO Rob, it DOESN'T particularly "BOTHER ME"!

I'm 100 percent already aware of the definition, & what the term refers to, thanks.

As far as your insult against me, "thick skin " is an exaggeration,
though if it makes you happy, call me whatever pleases you.
I'm NOT as dumb as you apparently think I am!

I was referring to the CONTEXT that I think user victorio was referring to,
and NOT to the entire usage of the term wherever it is used.

I would prefer, especially in your posts where you usually are referring to FOREIGN vistors, for example:

Visitors from Canada (or wherever)
vacationers from the USA
Tourists from "X" wherever it is.

So, instead of saying el Paseo del Pescador was crowded with "Foreigners", I would prefer any of the terms I noted above
(visitors, vacationers, tourists), then if you wanted, indicate if those were Mexican nationals, and/or from other countries.

All I am trying to convey, that I.M.O, in the case of your International visitors you typically refer to in your posts as victorio seemed to indicate,
terminology for them that is "Kinder & gentler" description of them would be more welcoming.

"Foreigners intervening isn't well accepted? What????? They sure accepted all these charity events started by extranjeros and co-opted by el niño del cemento for his own political purposes.

Again, to clarify my comment:
More specifically in CHANGING LAWS.

I'm already quite aware that as you noted,"Extranjeros" do participate in a variety of your local events,
though apparently as you noted, violations have ocurred, and your mention of "Jorgito" taking credit as being "responsible" for helping "tens of thousands of poorly informed voting citizens".

Go ahead, your turn.

Howie...did you take composition lessons from "KR", aka "Average Joe"?

Thanks for the useless smart-ass reply seems par-for-the-course, wonderful!

It's so sickening here, and many other chats elsewhere, how disrespectful many are, do unnecessary trolling,
and "chime in" with USELESS comments that aren't related to the lead post,
or ANY other in the thread, that have NO benefit for anyone.
Think about that please.
But NO, you couldn't resist doing that, congratulations, job well done.

At any rate, I write as you've seeen many times.

And NO, I'm NOT interested in any "composition lessons from "KR" or anyone else.
Should they NOT BE UP TO YOUR STANDARDS,
You need to simply NOT READ my posts, and scroll on to the next one,
since you find the writing format so offensive. Cheers

The best bet here is, please:
Just delete your post about the composition lessons,
as I noted, it serves less than 0 benefit for anyone,
and if effect it's totally useless.

----------------------------------------------------------------
Your more recent post which at the moment is at the end of the thread, is fine.
e.g., YES it is relevant to what Z Rob mentioned about "el Niño del Cemento".

THAT is what I like to see, Thank You.

There was a story a couple of weeks ago highlighting how CA freeways will crumble again as the shift to electrical vehicles will drastically impact the gas tax which funds freeway maintenance and repairs.

But I’m one of those guys that gets up every morning, goes to work, takes care of his family, wears a red hat and has a locked closet full of guns and ammo. I must be a huge problem to the world. There were plenty of guns around in the 50’s and 60’s but we didn’t have this problem.

That's because you're a stable, well adjusted, mature and law-abiding citizen. But there are too many people out there who are living on the fringes of reality - angry, bitter, frustrated, often delusional, armed to the teeth with military weaponry, fueled by the propaganda of Trump, the NRA, social media, Fox and Newsmax, and extreme white-supremacist chat rooms; people who think it would be just swell to overthrow the government and slaughter little kids in classrooms.

The question is (and always has been): how do you allow responsible people like you to keep your guns and yet pass legislation to keep AR-15s away from the lunatics? Or do we just shrug our collective shoulders, figure there's nothing that can be done as the mountains of bodies pile up, and go back to watching Dancing with the Stars, knowing - and not much caring - that there will be another mass shooting coming along shortly?
