lol funny how you take the HDI serious for countries. IT DOESN'T SAY MUCH.

One example


El 31,8% tiene pisos de tierra, viviendas en Peru

México en 4 % el piso es de tierra.

Well I admit it does have its limitations, as it only focuses on life expectancy, years spent in education and GNI per capita, while largely disregarding aspects like transport and infrastructure. Nonetheless, it does at least show part of the picture.

You praise the Communist in Cuba for suppose high HDI . They barely make $20 a month and barely survive .Many CUBANS eat 2 meals a day if lucky. No eletricity.

This is absolutely the last time I shall say this: salaries in Cuba are utterly crap and lousy (though still not at Haitian or Afghan level, as some like to claim). Much of the infrastructure is incredibly outdated (and like I said, it is a serious limitation of the HDI that it doesn't take such factors into account). But relative to that, it actually performs quite well in terms of healthcare and education.

He is a socialist living comfortable and eating 3 times a day in Great Britain with eletricity

DR is probably the most-improved Latin American country in recent years, and I myself have said it is worlds apart from Haiti and, in some measurements, rather better than Cuba too.

It is a fragile and volatile thing, subjected to the western part not imploding like it threatens to do any time soon.

LOL El Salvador may be gradually getting better, but the Maras are still everywhere. And it is very much in the bottom half of this list, though still admittedly better than the other three countries that make up the Northern Triangle. As for Singapore, it is often misunderstood and misportrayed by free-market ideologues in particular: it is actually a highly authoritarian one-party State where the government owns all the transport, utilities, banks, land and has several investments elsewhere.

Stop lying please.

Stop lying please.

I know and work for lots of Salvadoran asylum-seekers and refugees, though it seems increasingly that Honduras is becoming the new troublespot. As for Singapore, the PAP have ruled it as essentially a one-party state since independence, and they fine people up to £1000 for dropping litter, dropping gum and drunk driving, as well as still maintaining corporal and even capital punishment for some offences.

Of course they'll say that to be granted asylum but reality (as much as it may bother you) is different:



And the PAP has always ruled in Singapore because people vote for them. As Mr. Harry Lee once expressed: «He asked how I had stayed in power for so long, winning successive elections. Because, I replied, people knew I did not lie and was sincere in advancing their interests. Ordinary people could not follow the intricacies of an economic or a political problem, so they learned whom to trust. To win such trust, I never said anything which I did not believe in, and people slowly recognized that I was honest and sincere. This was my most powerful asset.»
