My country, Costa Rica

Hi people! I wanna speak a lot about my country, Costa Rica. It's true, is a country without army, but we have a great lot of problems: our economy is very chaotic, the streets are a great trout, the politic guys are a very great nasties bastards, the Congress never works well, they only are ever in vacations, is some sicking to see the almost unexistent progress of my country. The institution of Social Secures is in a problem of corruptiov very serious, until the ex-president Miguel Angel Rodríguez has part in that. The ex-president Rafael Ángel Calderón Fournier is envolved in problems of money. No, is very very sicking the situation. And the president actual, Abel Pacheco, hasn't the needy help for sustain the country. But i see all that as a probe for all, and all the Costarican will have survive at all this facts ;)

Oh, well, seriously, that dosen't surprise me. But look it on the bright side, at least your politicians are probably less corrupt than those in Argentina.

But hey, don't worry, my country is full of corrupt bastards too. It happens in every latin country, it's like...uh...auténtico "sabó" latinooo.

Unaffortunatedly is the reality of the countries of Latin America and all the world :mad2: Doesn't exist the honestity in the politic guys.

It's true. Costa Rica isn't too bad as Argentina. Have ocurred incidents of workers in defense of his rights but isn't too serious affortunatedly ;)

If it helps, Costa Rica is in better shape than most of the other countries in Central America.

makes me feel somewhat better (it shuldn't...) to hear that another latin country is in an almost identical shape like the one here in puerto rico. the funny stuff is that the man responsible for the major part of the corruption here is running for governor after 4 years of hiding in the states.

What would Latin America be without the Monroe Doctrine! :rolleyes2

My home!

Seriously though. :/

Yeah, most countries have a world of problems at the moment...the planet as a whole, governmentally and economically is in horrid shape. I wish Costa Rica the best though...its a gorgeous country, like most central American countries, but that the same time, like most central American countries, its in bad shape politically and economically.

Don't get the misconception that America is perfect and a heavenly place...I've met people from other countries who came here with that misconception and boy did they feel silly. :)

But yeah about a 3rd of my family lives in Mexico which isn't in great shape either...far better than Costa Rica, I'm sure, but still... :eep:

It is true that a lot of Latin American countries have corrupt politicians or ones that just don't do anything. But at least there isn't a civil war, or war that would make things much worse like in some countries. Like devilmaykickass, some part of my family is in Mexico, although it may not be as bad as in Costa Rica, they still have it pretty bad.

Porque no te haces politico y trates de cambiar las cosas en tu pais? :p
