Mexico in your opinion?

It's pretty low on the list of places I want to visit, admittedly, not because of anything inherently wrong with Mexico, but simply because there are far too many other places that appeal to me more. So it's a resounding 'meh' of utmost neutrality.
Well, as an american I feel like people expect me to want to go to mexico. But frankly I've had a friend killed there when he was on holiday, and the mexican government has been completely unhelpful in finding out why.
So no, I do not see Mexico as a holiday destination. Besides, we still have Hawaii.

It's one of those places I've never actually given much thought to. I haven't done much research on the location, so to me it's just a place filled with cacti and people wearing sombrero's. Of course it's not, because that's a stereotype. I've no intention to go there, nor to learn much about it.
Well it's like any other country. It just has some problems, mostly the cartels. It's unfortunate, since they've tried cracking down--I forget what number exactly--thousands of people have been killed in cartel related violence.
My mom wanted to take the family there this summer, but we couldn't agree on place. She wanted to go to resort Mexico, I wanted to go to real Mexico. We're going to Belize instead.
Most of Mexico really isn't as bad as people think. Some of my friends grew up in Mexico, and you have to get away from all the resorts for the best waves.

I've been to several parts of Mexico and, while things are better if you get away from the U.S. border areas, it's still not somewhere I want to spend much time at this point. There's a lot of drug cartel/gang related violence, as others have already said. That violence is all too often visited upon foreigners rather than enemies (other cartel/gang members/leaders), unfortunately.
No me gusta.
Spanish aside, I'm not very fond of the place. I've been to Reynosa twice with my church and it wasn't very good. Basically, the drivers almost seemed like they were trying to run people over. And people were always trying to sell me useless crap. So no. I didn't like it.

I actually live there, I've lived all over the place Ensenada, Mexicali, Zacatecaz, Tijuana, Matamoroz, Mérida, Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Queretaro and and more cities I can't remember right now (I never stay at one place for too long), I've visited pretty much every state Touristically speaking it's a wonderful place there are tons of great things to see, we have the pyramids, the beaches, the beautiful colonial cities (Guanajuato is definitely my favourite), the jungle and so on, I actually don't understand why a lot of people here want to go on vacation to places like California since there are so many things to see on this place, I mean I've lived here all my life and travelled all over the place and I still haven't seen everything, the government sucks though, taxes are ridiculously high and when I lived in Tijuana I saw a corpse pretty much every day laying on the street so it's not perfect, but whatever it's my home.
[sub]I find it funny that I've been to all of the cities mentioned so far.[/sub]
Edit: So basically I've seen the good and the bad, can't say is the ideal place to live but the only other country I've been to is the USA and as bad as it is here I like it better than there, not sure why but I prefer being here.
I guess if you have any questions about it I could try to answer them but as I said I move way too much so even though I've been almost everywhere here my knowledge of the place isn't that good.
