Uruguay is more rich than Argentina per capita and certainly more rich than Brazil per capita. Just because the overall GDP and area is lower doesn’t mean they don’t make money. So f*** Nicholas Negroponte when he takes pity on Uruguay and says “bless their hearts.”
Well informed, yet bad judgment, i don’t know why you hate Uruguay or care for that matter. i also do not know why the statement “bless their hearts” is there. But Brazil did not go with the program while Uruguay did. it’s not about the country, it’s about the people, the ones who lead and the ones who fallow. and if you look carefully enough you will find something to pity, hate, love, or admire in any person or being for that matter.Please DO NOT REACT but RESPOND to the the things you dislike
I didn’t say that to offend Uruguay. I kind of am Uruguayan and the reason I got mad is because whenever I hear people talk Uruguay I always have to hear two things: small and poor. I don’t hear that they were the inaugural winners of the FIFA World Cup and Copa America, but I always need to be insulted about something whether it is true or not. The reason, btw, that the Tabaré Vasquez bought those computers was because he had the money and cared for education in rural areas.
@rankalot. this is a cynical and silly remark.You are sitting at home and typing condescending comments about someone, who is *actually dOIng something*.In my opinion, if you are not able to respond or contribute in a constuctive manner, you should just simply shut up.Nothing good comes out of your pessimistic & selfrightous bla bla.Be a part of the solution or at least pay some respect.Love Ted
Cynical yes……But Silly? Tell me how a child who’s family is so poor they can’t afford shoes is silly? Well at least they have a computer right!I think you are sitting behind your computer looking to start a fight with someone you don’t know and don’t ever intend on seeing through. Plus I left this comment 7 MONTHS AGO!!!!! I am sorry but these rich elitist types always think they know how to help and what the right thing is to do is. I mean what good is a laptop if you can’t use it?
What good are shoes if you can’t afford to buy your own? Education is the key to dragging third-world countries into the 21st century. Certainly, it would be far easier to just give these kids shoes, or rice, or fish instead. But if you TEACH a man to fish…!
thank you Nicholas Negroponteyou have help so many people ,
