Yes, I tried to point that out before, but was told by the Squartz that I don't know anything about the Mexicans that make up over 50% of the population of where I live, even though he lives 800 to the south of me and does not know me other than on shitty Usenet.

Now I see he is asserting (in another thread, and no I'm not going to go look it up, do it yourself) that Mexicans put out nacho cheese with their horrible "chips" in Mexican restaurants, and that is supposed to be an "upgrade"....LOL....I really wonder about the sanity of people on here.

But I digress.

Whatever.

I think Julie Bove and Sqwertz and Bwwwwwwyyyyyyannnnnnnnn have lost a grip on reality.
