    Wasn't there information that argieland supplies a lot of Uruguay's educational “requirements”? So, yes, definitely need to improve the educational system. Toss any argies and their material out for a start!

    ”We need talent, we need to improve our education system and have better professionals, scientists, researchers, on them rests the development of the country and future generations” insisted Mujica.

    But why can't we have money as well? You have managed in four years what it took the Cunt Brown in the UK ten years to do: fucked the economy well and truly. And like the Cunt Brown you had a vibrant economy to begin with. Now we are looking at two lots of rolled over debt, a true legacy indeed!

    There are a number of “English Schools” in Uruguay besides The British School in MVD. They purport to teach “English”. What they really teach is American and why is that, because all the kids with brains have the intelligence to leave the country while they can and go to America.

    The teachers are berated personally by this old cunt and he doesn’t care for the truth of the situation as long as it sounds good to the dumb fucks who think he is on their side. He should stop wasting the money on “Social Inclusion” for all these lazy bastards and start funding the education system properly.

    The best tax we pay is the primary school tax for two reasons:

    1) the money goes to the “baby schools” for the very young children;

    2) the money is ring-fenced and no corrupt bastard in government can take it.

    I can't imagine an intelligent, ambitious, productive Uruguayo would ever go home once they've seen the Northern countries.

    At least the ones I know are staying here no matter what it takes.

    I thought the Falkland Islands were a regional cause and a number one priority for South America, yet no mention of them? How strange. Maybe when it comes down to it and you have the ear of the US Vice President, it is more important for Uruguay to be talking about things that actually affect them.

    This is true, it's just a pity we have this clown to plead our case.
