I asked to see some proof , showing the stats that Mexicans were starving to death . Why did it get removed ?

Question

I made no ethnic slurs, I only asked to see the stats that showed how many Mexicans were starving to death, so I would know . I got a lot hated responces to the question, and then " POOF " yahoo answers removed it. What did I do wrong ?

Yeah, a lot of hatred was sent my way, but no proof.

Nancy F , i did , I tried to learn it for myself before I asked and could not find any information that I wanted to see.

Answer 1

Because basically on here if you ask a question about another race, you get somebody ticked off and they report you for abuse because they are very closed minded. Not many of them are not actually able to provide proof or valid statistics and they are unable to debate on a logical, rational level, so POOF, you question is dissolved and they don't have to deal with it!

Answer 2

i can't tell you about the stats. but i can tell you that , yes mexico is rich in agriculture and other things, but the money is not reaching them. Every summer when I was very young, my parents took us to see relatives all over mexico. I hated going because there were no toilets, only out houses, no bathrooms, you had to bathe in a aluminum tub filled with cold water. i wouldn't drink the milk because it came from a goat. My parents had a very hard time with us because were weren't acustomed to this type of living. Everyone cooked outside, they had no stoves. Years later as an adult , I went to some part of mexico, close to Tampico, to bury my father, he had gone to visit relatives out there since he was retired now. He worked for the city Of Houston and retired from there. all those years gone by and Mexico almost the same. My aunt lived in a small apartment now, she had plumbing and running water. that was a change, but people still peddling in the streets , trying to make ends meet. There were some nice homes, but very few. Why doesn;t their government do for them what ours does for us. If they would tax items then they could put money into roads, etc. I don't know what to think, but U.S.A. shouldnt have to have the answer to other countries problems, that's why we are at war to begin with. when is our government going to help us with our sick and homeless people? I feel bad for mexico, but their government has to find a way to keep them home where they want to be anyway.

Answer 3

I think it's a good question that deserves an answer. Why should we have to take their word for it if there is proof? Maybe because there is no proof. I have spent time in a Mexican village and have told stories here about people not starving, being out of work, or homeless. Many other people have told similar stories, and you can bet there were plenty of people who didn't want to hear it. It isn't starvation bringing most of them here, because if it were most of them would never make it. Plain and simple they want to be rich and see the US as their ticket.

Answer 4

The only one who can answer that really is either God or that mo'fo who reported you.

Or it could be that your question recieved so many hateful responses that Y!A decided to delete all of them by deleting your question... but thats all just conjecture on my part.

I'd bet you wont find any stats from the people here, most likely these people arent Mexican Government or IMF or some other relevant organization which could give you the information you'd want.

Answer 5

Do you have any data by any ability helping the declare that feeding unlawful immigrants actual motives individuals to starve to loss of existence? there is extra effective than sufficient nutrition interior the country to feed all and sundry, criminal or unlawful, extra effective than they choose. the subject is with distribution. by way of your good judgment, any time somebody throws away nutrition, they're in charge for the loss of existence of an American new child. i do no longer see you outraged approximately nutrition being thrown away nevertheless.

Answer 6

It would not make a difference if you had proof or the truth.
There is suffering and starvation all over the world. Some people if they do not see it then it does not exist. If they are not experiencing it themselves then everything is okay.
If I would have known that Mexicans can get rich by being roofers,
pickers and washing dishes,I would have changed my profession.

Answer 7

Um, because questions related to any real facts regarding Mexico's actual economic condition, and not just the propaganda, are short-lived around here....if the truth came out about how WELL they really ARE doing these days, the fence would be in by Friday...

Answer 8

because some people tend to like using the report button a lot.don't fret or dwell on it but just move on,you actually ask some pretty good questions on here.and though I don't agree on the immigration stance you take,you argue your point very nicely and maturely.glad to see your still around *hands you a box of virtual cookies on my way out* keep on keeping on.

Answer 9

You should stop getting upset about it.. everybody gets it... don't let it get to you. I am not sure of any stats but I have heard many legal and illegal Mexican's talk about the poverty in Mexico..I would try googling your question about the stats.. see what you come up with

Economy - overview: Mexico has a free market economy that recently entered the trillion dollar class. It contains a mixture of modern and outmoded industry and agriculture, increasingly dominated by the private sector. Recent administrations have expanded competition in seaports, railroads, telecommunications, electricity generation, natural gas distribution, and airports. Per capita income is one-fourth that of the US; income distribution remains highly unequal. Trade with the US and Canada has tripled since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994. Mexico has 12 free trade agreements with over 40 countries including, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, the European Free Trade Area, and Japan, putting more than 90% of trade under free trade agreements. The government is cognizant of the need to upgrade infrastructure, modernize the tax system and labor laws, and provide incentives to invest in the energy sector, but progress is slow.
