I have lived in Mexico and will be going back in 2011
Like some of the other posts have said, yes there is a problem in Mexico mainly in the north (Frontera) I have just returned to Canada having lived in Queretaro (Central Mexico) for 2 years and have only found Mexicans to be helpfull and kind, and yes there is the odd cabron that does not even like himself but you get that everywhere. The problem is mainly with the drug trade so if you stay away from that nonsense you should be fine. I shall be returning to Mexico in Jan 2011 for few years. The media makes it sound like it is like Irag and Afghanistan in Mexico but truth be told I feel much safer there than in certain places in the US. The biggest danger in Mexico are the old slow trucks and cars that pop out of no where on the highways and stray dogs. Go and enjoy Mexico it is a wonderfull country and you would be surprised how many Americans and Canadians live and retire down there.
Stay thirsty my friends.
