Comments for Brazil Falls to 72th Place in Competitiveness, the Same as Sri Lanka at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 5 out of 5 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:45:25 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8817/54/#pc_11860 Well, after decades of stupid nationalism, retrograde leftism, Brazil and Latin America (minus Chile) are getting the future they decided to have. Since "the perfect latin-american idiots" took power all the problems and difficulties of the region were made bigger. Meanwhile, Asia is fighting poverty by educating its people in science and technology. Brazil opted for ideology in the schools. Brazilian kids act as political militants, moral values were corrupted and work ethics is non-existant on people's minds. Unfortunately, this trend will not be reversed and despite its natural resources Brazil and other countries in the region will be trapped on the middle-ages. - Leal Augusto Sat, 03 Nov 2007 01:33:29 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8817/54/#pc_11853 I've visited both Sri Lanka (a tropical island) and Brazil. Sri Lanka (used to be called Ceylon) is part of the British Commonwealth and a tourist playground for the Europeans, Asians and Australians, and a good hangout if you like tropical beaches, diving, and stuff like that. Brazil, in my opinion is a more dynamic country and has more natural resources and greater economic potential, and just as great tourist places. So it is a shame that Brazil didn't do better in the rankings. If I were to bet, I would bet on Brazil to come out ahead (way ahead) of Sri Lanka in the future. I am American and if I had to pick a place to retire between the two countries, I would pick Brazil without hesitation. BTW, Brazil exports more supermodels than Sri Lanka and they forgot to include that.... - Yowser Fri, 02 Nov 2007 19:19:34 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8817/54/#pc_11847 Brazil Falls to 72th Place in Competitiveness, the Same as Sri Lanka This news for me is absolutely devastating, demoralizing, disgusting and denigrating.We are in the same level of Sri.Lanka? Cant believe nor accept it. We better start doing something to better our ranking. BTW, where is Sri.Lanka ? Off the coast of Africa? - João da Silva Thu, 01 Nov 2007 23:47:46 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/8817/54/#pc_11843 Most of South American countries, especially those in the Mercorsur, are nearby to each other....in the rankings !!!!!! Ohhh and Venezuela has full support from Lula and Kirchner to become a full member of Mercosur. That will not help the average of the Mercorsur group. And read a few times more the last sentence of the article : However all have fallen back compared to the previous report, 2006/07. Are you improving against yourselves only or against the others countries ? The answer is quite clear, you are becoming worse and worse. - ch.c.
