Today i Am Sad To Be Mexican

[Abe Attell]

cmon dude, do you really believe this **** ?

Actually, yes...though I do like competition which seperates us into teams, I have no need to try to seperate eachother from where you were born, what color skin you have, etc.

It does get a little problematic, but that discussion is much to long.

Take a person that is born in "America", is active in Government, and ****s up our country by going against its "ideas". To me, that is a trader, and a person who is no longer an "American"''

It is like the belief in "Democracy"...the ancient Greeks had it, and now the people of "America" have it...we are relatively the same based on how we should live our lives, and who we are...although the Greeks liked to consider everybody outside of Greece, "Barbarians", hopefully you get my point. It is the belief system that makes you who you are.

The ancient Romans had a similar way of handling things: If I remember correctly (and have the right information), the Romans accepted all those from the outside that wanted to join Rome, as long as they wanted to be "Romans."

At the end of the day, if we don't all get our **** together, it really doesn't matter. Then again, I am not sure about this whole situation either so ask me tomorrow and I might have a different opinion for that day.


My point is this, we are all "Humans", so we are linked in some way, and dividing us all through color and where you are born, over ideas of thought, is immature.

They are the same people is what im trying to say, regardless of ****.

so through culture/a way of life...those that are raised off that particular land. Understand, but at the end of the day, we are all Humans and joined, NO?

Yes, we're all humans of differnt colors and differnt languages. We seperate ourselfs because of our belifes, because of hate, jealousy, war, poor, rich and so on. But yes, at the end of the day we are all human but not joined, hell we don't even like to car pool, lol.

Morales is 29, hes far from damaged goods. If you look at most Mexican records, their all long, and full of wars, nothing different in this case. He has only had one war on par with his Pacman trilogy.

Two brownskins faught tonight. One, a Filipino and the other, a Mexican. I feel the need to inform our mexican friends in the forums that there are lots of respect and good words for Morales being spoken aloud in various households here in the Phils. If Morales had been here in Manila, we would have accorded him the same adulation and treatment we gave to Oscar Larios: people standing in line to have a pic with him and autographs, and OUR very own countrymen giving him encouragement to beat Manny.

I listened to side comments from my peers here and there. There was all respect for Morales. IMHO, he's the only MOFO I know who would fight like that when he's buzzed. You'd never know when he's hurt until he goes down.

All respect for Morales. Congratulations sa pambansang kamao, Manny Pacquiao.

I would say the main point is not that he is 29 and has been in wars before, but he just didn't have anything in him, and what I mean by that is he didn't have life from the start because he killed himself to make the weight.

He must of known, like he realized mid-way through his last fight, that he was empty and couldn't fight back.

I don't want to take anything away from Pac, since he busts his ass in the gym preparing for a tough fight, but those are the issues discussed.

Yeah, we know, the media before the fight showed a dozen photos with Morales hunched over, with a frown on his face, am I right? Leading up to the fight that is what they were saying he looked frail, fat, whatever, but during his fight with Barrera people were talking about how they threw perfect punches and blah blah, you'd be surpised at how advanced film camra's are today, I know, I studied film in university...

[Epie2]

At my home where we Filipinos watched the fight, we had all respect for the courage Morales displayed. First in making sacrifice to make the weight just to face Pac, and in actually facing Pac knowing he had not enough left in just making the weight. Erik is a warrior indeed.

Which University did you study film
