I'm more upset by the thread's title. It implies that Mexicans are only good for mowing lawns.

You could have easily posted a comment about this lawn care system without insulting an entire nationality, but that wouldn't be the SUMBAN way, would it?

But not all Mexicans are illegal immigrants who mow lawns in the US. Your thread title insults all Mexicans, not just those who are in our country illegally.

Let me clue you in a on a little secret. There is nothing you can do in this world that doesn't insult someone somewhere. So get used to that fact because we live here on a planet called Earth.

You have jumped off the PC cliff in a full swan dive. It is this PC attitude that is the cause of most of the problems in the world since people tend to look the other way instead of confronting the problem, all in the name of PC of course.

This isn't about PC. It's about taking cheap shots at a certain group of people.

You could have easily posted your story about a nifty lawn mowing system without the political commentary. Insults don't solve problems. Your cheap shot did nothing to advance the discussion or confront the very real problem of illegal immigration. To use another example, you don't stop terrorism by calling Muslims "ragheads."

You want to confront the problem? Start a legit discussion on illegal immigration without the gratuitous insults.
