But is there a negative implication of this in terms of the Values that the young generation of Venezuelans may cquire?
I had a first-hand conversation with a Venezuelan just 3 weeks ago in our office. He is one of our engineering managers but still young at 37 (and he's hot hot hot) ahehehe. He treated us to a free lunch because according to him, we are his 'favorite group" in the project.
When we were heading back to the office after lunch, our forgetful lead engineer asked him if he is from Colombia. This was the conversation:
EM: No, no, I'm from Venezuela.
LE: Oh, the beauty queen capital of the world!
EM: Yeah, Philippines almost won also last year right?
(I was silent the whole time because I don't want them to know that I'm a pageant fanatic ahahaha)
Colleague 1: Is it true that Miss Venezuelas are surgically enhanced?
EM: Yes they are. Actually in Venzuela, the competition is "how you are made" and not anything else.
But they really WORK HARD for it. That makes it alright.
The bad thing is, the young kids in Venezuela think that that is the most important thing in this world already.
One day, all the youth in my country will loose the true value of being a person, just being who they really are.
It's pretty sad, but it's reality.
When I asked him when was the last time he went home to Venezuela, he said "3 years ago".
Maybe that is the reason why he only want his kids to be brought up and reared in the US or somewhere else but not Venezuela.
His 2 kids are currently studying in Brent International School.
The good thing about most Venezuelans is that, most of them have nice personality, and they are easy to get along with.
That is one factor that most Venezuelan queens possess that can never be modified by science.
Unfortunately in just over a decade almost all Venezuelans who may have chosen to leave it in Venezuela, not because that was their main goal or ambition, perhaps many of them not even until not long ago have had no idea of leaving in your country (and thus all that that implies) but simply because life in Venezuela has become, in these slightly more than 10 years, almost intolerable by many factors, all related in large part by the terrible mismanagement of the current Venezuelan government truly believe has been perhaps the most pernicious that we have had since Venezuela is a democracy, however, does not pretend to enter into political discussions in this thread and this forum is not interested or are irrelevant, but inevitably end up doing the references as well as indirectly, as a Venezuelan who has lived all his life in Venezuela, which currently has neither the intention nor the resources to seriously consider leaving the country, I have to say that many of my compatriots who have decided to leave Venezuela have done looking for a better and brighter future than the current Venezuelan government is offering to its people, is understandable in most cases, life really Venezuela in the last 13 years, almost 14, has become very difficult, so everyone who can tries to get away, and if possible with his family, what a country has become almost intolerable.
While I understand the position of many of these Venezuelans who have gone in search of a better life not only for themselves but for their children in other countries, sincerely believe that the fact of leaving is not contributing anything to help solve the problem background, I do not run is the only solution, but clearly it is the easiest and most prefer to take it despite all the sacrifices that eventually they will demand, which is very sad because it seemed to affirm the bit that hurts their own country and the people they leave behind ... well, in any case everyone does what it believes is best for you and yours and I guess it always will be, with or without reviews ...

I hope my favorites Aragua and Merida (although everyone but me seems to dislike her) will grab any of the 4 titles!
