CNN's world's coolest nationalities list

Lol stereotypes of Brazil.

This list sucks, every country listed is based on stereotypical values and ordered based on non-comparable statistics.

And ignores major issues and seems to prefer that the "partying lifestyle" is the ideal lifestyle everyone should live and has no flaws or downsides.

ITT: pineapple politics and love

Need to get China and Japan out of there. Just because the japs are "trendy" doesn't mean that a lot of them aren't "whores". And the fact that an american wrote "coolly accumulated most of the world's hard currency" is an act of treason. Most americans hate that fact and we're really just funding their army.

It's the truth, they have more than 30% of world's industries for sure and they accumulate capital all the time, what's to blame? They've earned it. China is the country of the future, economically and financially, followed very near by Brazil and India.

followed very near by Brazil

HAHA, such a joke. Brazil is still lightyears behind.

Before we can start going for economic power of the future the country needs to stop having overly corrupt politicians who treat the population (how they are) as stupid people who will view anything good that happened during their government as their work (meaning any long term project is not a good idea since its results would be in the next president's mandate) and that the general population has very poor education.

This works very well since we pay our teachers very poorly (public system and private system too), do not invest enough money on education (other than university level since that gives short-term results) so we create a vicious cycle of a population with bad education (unless you have money to pay for private schools) who will keep voting for politicians who will offer things like food and financial assistance to everyone as remedial measures but won't start any long-term solutions.

And that's not even to mention we have a tax system about as heavy as Switzerland with not nearly as much benefits for the population, guess where that money goes? Worse even, not accounting for corruption, workers in public jobs (not teachers) get to work without fear of being fired (they slack off and can skip work without worries) along with deputates and senators having outrageous salaries along with multiple benefits (aid with air plane tickets anyone?) while they too can afford not to show up to work without fear if being fired (and gaining lots of extra money on extraordinary calls).

Well, this sums up some things about brazil.






Also, remember external public image =/= internal public image. The last government made a great job with its external public image and awesome job of making the poor population happy (which is the majority) with populitarian measures and benefitting of the discovery of that petrol deposit (which had nothing to do with the president himself).

No i'm a butthurt about other americans throwing money at the force that'll destroy us.

C'mon Shidoshi, you know Brazil is skyrocketing. I live in the country right next to Brazil, and some flaws are inevitable, but I'm a real witness on how Brazil is hoarding every industry there was and will be in the South American area. Argentina suffers from poor education, teachers are paid miseries too, as do medics and whatever else, but the differences are on sight. I only see investments investments and more investments in Brazil, when back in the day we would be preferred instead. I've been to Brazil many times, the country is growing, specially Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, Parana and Mato Grosso. Curitiba is amazing, Floripa is an amazing city as well and etc. The south of Brazil is the envy of every Southamerican, I'll assure you that.

lol

Better go read a thing or two about how money flows first. The US isn't the economic superpower it used to be, and just as more and more industries are placed in China the more capital will flow to it.

In fact, capital is taking the same course it took in the 30s-50s, but instead of the US, China.

Not denying about how Brazil is growing economically, it's just that we can't sustain that development if we don't have an education system pumping out professionally capable individuals. My father, who works with chemical engineering, told me right now you absolutely CAN'T find people to start a new project on engineering, there is not enough people out there for specialised jobs (well, good people anyway).

Seriously Singapore? I felt constantly watched at that place, holy crap have these people actually been to these countries?!

I know this, but it's because execs have the power to ship it all over there to save them money. And 64% of americans think this is bad and the government should do something to stop it. It's no wonder we have no jobs. We as a country need to stop it or we're going to run ourselves into the ground. And china is going to go all communistic on the rest of the world.

I'm done arguing this with you.

Yeah, well, it's a social problem too, people are afraid to go ahead and try excelling in hard sciences and engineering careers. It's what it's needed and Argentina, Brazil and other countries spit out Lawyers, Psychologists and whatever else. It's a huge deficit, I know. I suffer from it as well.

How is that a stereotype? How can you expect a country that takes money from their people, cares nothing about it's people, and that refuses to recognize Taiwan or Tibet as their own countries, to actually be beneficial to the rest of the world? I know our government has been playing the rest of the world for a long, long time, but it isn't like we the people want this or even know about this. It's something as a country we do need to solve, though; the people aren't in control anymore. Most of the big companies pay off politicians in "favors" to vote in their favor.

And you can't say at all that you aren't biased either, Rob.

Problem is opinions here, this was just sparked by a silly list that has nothing of real value. I was just arguing about economics and finances, which are pretty much undeniable because they're massive numbers only and fluctuations that we can *sort of* measure (2008 crisis, bla bla, I know that).

If I were to counter your argument I shouldn't invest a penny on the US either, because it's a country that supports war through it's taxes. It's moot arguing this.
