K, just to get things cleared up i live in mexico city and mexico IS NOT a 3rd world country, we have cheap labour, lots of land and missing capital those are the 3 parts of economic development 1st of all, Mexico is a country where the gap between rich and poor is pretty large but that by no means it's a 3rd world country, mexico is developing faster than some 1st world countries example: the Economic growth mexico had is about 6% while in some european countries is in 2% maybe more. So I personally felt offended saying my country is in the 3rd world, you should go and see some african countries some asian countries well...see in the US how some people live and ask is this really a 1st world? Maybe it is economically but by measuring it in quality of life? i guess not. Take a tour arround some of the more developed parts of mexico city and you will be surprised. dont let stereotypes fool you. I for example (and dont want to be arrogant or a snob) drive a Mercedes benz and im not even on the top rich pyramid...far from it... So yeah im a little angry right now-.- lol.... pd: Mexico is expected to be a 1st world country in under 20 years.
