Actually, no, it's a middle-income country that has recently left UN hunger map and was the world leader in poverty reduction in the last decade.

I also didn't understand what's your point about "raw sewage and garbage".

And whenever I see Americans talking about "massive corruption at top-levels" in any other country I have no other options besides stop taking it seriously.

No need for that. I've noticed you've got no idea about the subject n/t OBenario Nov 2015 #11

Hoho. You are allowed to suck at basic algebra because I "don't know the subject". Got it. DetlefK Nov 2015 #12

I don't. I'm great at basic algebra and you still don't know the subject. n/t OBenario Nov 2015 #13

You mixed up a function and the derivative of the function. DetlefK Nov 2015 #14

I didn't mix up anything. OBenario Nov 2015 #15
