Los Angeles 'is a Third World city'
- Thread starter Will E Worm

It is so full of ghetto gang members and other trash that pollutes the streets that it can't be considered as a town of the most industrialized and modern democraties. When you talk about LA, I systematically think about drive by shootings, gang wars between Bloods and Crips, Nortenos against Surenos, the Mexican Mafia and the MS13 as well as the 18th streeters. I never liked LA. I prefer Detroit, Dearborn, Flint or Lansing to LA.
I don't think the writers of this article know what Third World means. LA is one of the most economically successfully cities in the US. and even if it had a absolute crash locally, it would still be secure as part of the state of California and the country of USA. Furthermore, Mexico is not a third world country either, so if the entire state was populated by Mexicans or if the state was declared a territory of Mexico, somehow, it still wouldn't make a difference.
the only possible way would be if it seceded from the US and gained it's own independence as a nation and then cut off all economic ties to the rest of North America, and then it's own internal economy severely declined.
so yeah, look that happening in 2010.

Anybody get the impression that the predicted future makes some very uncomfortable.:eek:
"The US Census Bureau last year predicted that by 2050, minorities will account for half of all residents across America."

Yes, Mr Friday; I too get that impression.
OMG we'll be 50% minorities by 2050!
It's the apocalypse, sure as shootin'
Keep your powder dry, boys!

It was a part of Mexico to start with.
We once had a Minister for Education who said "It's terrible that half the children in the country are below average in Mathematics"

I have lived in Los Angeles My whole life and You are somewhat right about Your opinions,Georges.There are a few good areas that still remain,but overall the city has been in steep decline for many,many years.My hometown is overrun with illegal immigrants,criminals,drug addicts,and gang members.It is a very unfriendly and dangerous place to live.Many,many neighborhoods are just "off limits" to law abiding,decent citizens unless You want to carry guns and still put Your life at risk.Even in the relatively nice areas We are forced to have expensive security alarm systems and most law abiding citizens are well armed in our homes for protection just in case.I have had plans to escape this "ugly city" for some time now,but with the drop in real estate prices,and some other personal matters in My life,I have not been able to sell My home for a reasonable price and make the move yet.--My goal is to be gone within a year or two if possible.It breaks My heart to say these things,but they are true.My hometown of Los Angeles that I loved as a kid is GONE.The people are mean,the traffic is beyond bad,the bad areas are increasing and the good areas are shrinking,crime such as break ins and vandalism have expanded way beyond the limits of the so called "bad neighborhoods",taxes are high,& not even to mention the fact that it is growing difficult to even find the simplest services such as a plumber or whatever that speaks fucking English.Unfortunately,the "wonderful" city of sunshine,happy people,friendly neighborhoods is GONE FOREVER.I was born and raised here and now I feel like a stranger in My own hometown.It really pisses Me off.I live in a pretty good area,and still nobody really feels safe,nobody is able to trust anybody,neighbors don't speak,people are always in a bad mood here.My city is dying fast.I just have to get out of here before the rot gets any closer to Me and My Wife.---It may not be a third world place like Somalia,but give it ten years the way things are going and it will be.---Anyway,That's the end of My rant.--God Bless the "Old L.A."-RIP......And I will still love the Dodgers.Sam
how can you have 50% minorities? see once again, conflict of terms. minority used to mean one group that was smaller in population than another group. if two groups are in equal position for top population, or if one group that was previously a minority surpasses the old majority, than they aren't a minority. So when did "minority" shift to simply mean "non-white"? or maybe just "hispanic"?
so in fifty years, half a century away, white people are still going to make up 50% of the population, with every other group combined to match that number. What's the big fucking deal?
I'm sorry but it makes me a little sick to see the way America has gone. these upper middle-class assholes who were given everything on a silver platter, and they have become sharks that go white in the eyes at the idea of giving anyone else a piece of the pie.

Minority in the US has always meant non-whites.If in the future whites lets say are 40% and hispanics are say 30%,blacks are 13% and the remainging people make up the rest then in that case whites would still be the biggest single group but it would be true to say that 60% of the country was comprised of varying minorities.But the prediction is that eventually white would be the minority so I guess that would turn the traditional use of the word on its head.

Holy Shit...
Yeah I knew a Mexican Fireman from L.A.. He had twin boys, Hose a and Hose b.........
Sorry.
I'm surprised by many of the responses on this thread. I thought for sure it would have got the "racist" label by now.
I remember back in probably 95, 96 Bill Clinton giving a speech somewhere in SouthernCalif. to a mostly Mexican crowd of thousands. He said something like " When I look at all of you I see what the future of America will look like".
Meaning obviously racially.
Did he get the Latino vote in 96?
I said it before, when huge numbers of people from one country enter another country illegally, changing the society, economy, culture and genetic make up of that country, it is simply an invasion. Nothing more, nothing less.
Yeah Calpoon I agree the term minority is very often mis-used.
It depends exactly where your referring too at the moment.
Isn't that what European colonial settlers did? so how can you say that these people are unAmerican? land theft is the American way!
