What do you think about the third world?

What do you think about the third world?
I live in a third world country (Argentina) and I'm really ashamed of it. I want to know what thinks the people who had the luck of born in a normal country. Maybe you complain a little bit of your country, maybe because is having a bad moment. In my third world damm country not one single police man is honest, all are corrupt, there's not one single job well paid, the politicians are all corrupt but when I say all I mean ALL; they eat all the budget money, they don't do anything for the country and always makes falsies promises. To the worker man they discount 220$ of his salary for the homeless and the divorced mothers, the "homeless" get drunk with the money of the govt and rape or abuse or the kids. If in the USA are 20% of unemployment, here in Argentina there is like 60% of unemployment, almost all the country is poor, there only one country capital, is Buenos Aires (where I live) and is like a factory of murderers, drug addicts and thieves. Only the 20% of the province is the capital of the country, the rest is countryside. The economy is worst than crap, is awful, 1 dollar is 4 pesos. The criminality rate is like 80%, the people confused "democracy and liberty" with debauchery, they do whatever they want to and know one do anything about it. The criminals have a revolving door, they get in and out of the jail, just like that. The minors can rob a store and the police can't do anything about it because it doesn't exist any laws to punish them and no one want to do something about it. And a lot of stuff more and worst. Believe me when I say is not a good place to live, if you come here to live a couple of months you will return running to your country. If right now america is having a rough situation you better not complain, because once more you don't know what you have.

Human nature is the same the world over. In a country where more people have more, you merely have more people who despise the poor. It always seems better somewhere else. Here's a little story to illustrate my point: When the great Buddhist teacher Atisha was going to Tibet, he was told the people of Tibet were very good-natured, earthy, flexible, and open. He decided they wouldn't be irritating enough give him the opportunity to practice patience (a big Buddhist virtue), so he brought along with him a mean-tempered, ornery Bengali tea boy. The Tibetans like to tell the story that, when he got to Tibet, he realized that he need not have brought his tea boy.

I lived in El Salvador until I was 18. I was blessed to have a green card by then. I moved to America. I can't complaint. But I worry about my family in the third world because they're facing the similar problems to the ones in your country: vandalism from gangs, underpaid jobs and high cost of living, etc. Since I made friends there, and most importantly, I have family there, I'm not indifferent. I pray for them. I'm not in a position to help them financially... but what worries me is that they might just call one day to tell me they were victims of criminals and what not.

I wasn't aware things were that bad. Had friends from Buenos Aires when I was in high school many years ago, and they said it was poor and unstable, but didn't give any details. I guess things have gotten worse in 50 years. I keep telling people in the US that socialism is much preferable to the anarchy they want and call freedom, and deregulation. Good luck, I wish you well.
