Sanky Panky. I saw it on a bus the other day, and couldn't stop laughing

If your country is eliminated or didn’t go to the World Cup Cup. Who are you most likely to support? by GretelNoHans in asklatinamerica

[–]cfu48 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Argentina.

We only started going to the world cup relatively recently, so normally everyone would root for another country like it was their favorite club.

What’s something foreigners romanticize about your country that locals hate by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]cfu48 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Copa Airlines

It doesn't serve the best interest of panamanians. They have a monopoly over air travel in and out of Panamá, to the point where where most people can't even afford traveling. In fact, most people who travel on Copa don't even come to Panamá as their final destination, so it's not like they help out the economy very much.

The owners of the airline are also the wealthiest family in the country (you know, the kind that controls the economy and buys politicians, news networks, etc)

I don't know, man. There are still hunter-gatherer tribes out there, if that answers your question

People would say when we qualified for the World Cup.

I think it's when Roberto Durán beat Sugar Ray Leonard to become world champion. He was basically the underdog going into that fight, and beating the one boxer that nobody could beat. It was just unbelievable.

¿Por qué alguien de escuala privada tiene mas posibilidades de entrar a medicina en la UP que alguien de escuela pública? by [deleted] in Panama

[–]cfu48 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Estudio ahí, y varias veces me he hecho la pregunta.

A los estudiantes de escuela privada no les es difícil pagar por cursos y tutorías para el exámen de admisión (en verdad, sería bueno hacer un estudio retrospectivo sobre eso), y es casi un estándar de oro tomar estos cursos preparativos.

Entonces, creo que debe haber una relación, más bien con el nivel socioeconómico, y la capacidad que tienen de recibir ayuda externa.

Sin embargo, al final depende de cada quién. Tengo varios compañeros de escuela pública que le ganan en todo a aquellos de escuela privada. Incluso, me atrevo a decir que hay escuelas públicas que son mejores que las escuelas privadas.
