@marbito11 Unlike other countries Colombia and Brasil have better standards of living, example: Bolivia. Obviously poverty is a big problem but within the years we have been trying to fight that... favelas are from Brasil but we do have things like that here. Now what got me all freaked out is the FTA with your country. I hope my government can handle it XD

[marbito11]

@MJ4ever911 yeah, thats why millinos of mexicans, hondurans, and colombians die trying to get to this country. the standards of living in colombia and brazil are pitiful. sure, youre economies are gradually getting better, however, poverty is still a major concern example favelas

@marbito11 Lol the last place I want to live is in America, I love to travel there but I just wouldn't like to live there... I do go to one of the best school of Colombia, FYI my country and Brasil are the countries who are creating more jobs lately and I'm not quite sure if you know this but the immigrants (specially the mexicans) are going back to their countries because your decadent economy... just because they go to the US to work doesn't mean they like to live there

@MJ4ever911 we became a superpower after WWII. the germans and japanese under estimated us just like you are doing now. iam currently working on my masters degree. what are you doing? going to the best school in colombia? trying to find a job there? when you dont find a job, you try to come to america. your degree has the same respect as a degree from phoenix university. ;P

@marbito11 Lol wtf I said HISTORY? do you at least know how and why you became a superpower? XD To our intelligence? Yeaaaah sureeeeeeeeeeeeee.... I think the right words are: For their intelligence... because there are some VERY smart americans yeah, but sorry you're not on that list :p

[marbito11]

@MJ4ever911 you have nothing to respond so you took the cheap way out and said all americans are stupid. the facts all there. thanks to our intellegience we are a super power and have dominated just about every aspect....for example military, economics, best universites, inventions, put a man on the moon, invented the first aircraft, invented the modern pc, etc....

[MJ4ever911]

@marbito11 Lol, you are the most powerful country, have the biggest economy and all that for something called HISTORY... you in a few years will stop being the superpower of the world thanks God AND I'm only americans like you are that stupid :) obviously I don't like to stereotype I just quoted Michael Moore.

[marbito11]

@MJ4ever911 if we were the stupidest people on earth would we be the most powerful country the earth has ever seen? if we were the stupidest people on earth would we have the biggest economy? if we were the stupidest people on earth would people all over the world come flocking to get educated? look buddy, my folks are from central america. i know corrupt latin american govs can be.

[MJ4ever911]

@marbito11 Lol I think Michael Moore is 100% right, "americans are the stupidest people on earth"... and I think that american reporter who was somedays ago in Colombia was right too "The United States and the media has an extremely wrong image of how Colombia actually is".

@MJ4ever911 with that kind of mentallity youre on drugs yourself. the FBI had nothing to do with it. how can you trust a government that allows pablo escobar to contruct his own "prison".
