Are Towns With Mexican-Sounding Names Safe?

over the line
there's a line?
Well, technically it's Latin, but Corpus Christi, Texas, is definitely not safe. (At least for your mental health.)
Same could be said for Swampscott (technically an anglicization of the Naumkeag Indian word for "land of the red rock").
Yeah. It's that thing you're one toke over.
Sweet Jesus!
Not the same. Mexican and the US both have random criminal acts and murders just like any country. The drug cartel acts are intentional and they don't care who's in the way. Plus maybe the bigger fear are corrupt cops. At least in the US you know who you can trust. By allowing corruption to grow and grow over the decades and decades, Mexico has lost the tourists trust.
Good point, MT. As long as you stay away from untrustworthy places like high schools, colleges, post offices, churches, nursing homes, day care centers, shopping malls, Christmas parties, office buildings and Alabama, the US is perfectly safe. Luckily for our economy, none of those places rank very high as tourist destinations, so we still retain the tourists' trust.
It's happened.
In order to defeat them, you've become one of them.
You've succumbed to the dark side. You're now no better or worse than Hannity or Rush.
You're just a miniature, poorer, webcentric version of them.
Who happens to be on the other side of the issues. And has a better sense of humor and irony.
Come back to the good side of the force! You can do it!
Father...?
