You can disagree that that is reality (you'd be dead wrong but feel free) but his word choice was absolutely fine and conveyed the meaning he was trying to put out there. That's the purpose of words.

Your argument works very well, if you don't take the context of the argument into consideration.
He's saying he likes Mexicans more, because they aren't going to charge you for having insurance, for being liable for damages, and taking RESPONSIBILITY for their work.
Entitled does not fit that description, nor his argument.
He says Americans are Entitled, when the Word entitled is NOT synonymous with Responsible.
What he meant to say is responsible, but he'd heave felt like an idiot for saying that, because it isn't what he meant. The issue stems from his lack of understanding the business model, and misrepresenting the work done cheaper, as them not being entitled. When in all actuality, the work isn't done cheaper because they aren't entitled.
The work is being done cheaper because they aren't LIABLE.
1 point, Exoter.
Next argument please.
