But hey, let's all LOL at Mexico for doing just that. It's ok because we believe they would do the same to us? Really? #wearebetterthanthat.

Clark, this thread is for the "few vocal posters with a strong anti-US bias". Most of the people here wouldn't taunt Mexicans they know or meet in person, especially if they're polite like most I know. Many, like me, weren't even rooting against the Mexicans, but certainly are going to laugh at a few ridiculous posters. Remember, this is the interwebz, not real life.
