Jeff: This is outrageous what they wrote in the New York Times
Jeff: have you seen the article?
Tony: no, what is it?
Jeff: look: <file_other>
Mary: how ugly of them
Mary: Americans...
Jeff: they called Guyana "a vast watery wilderness with only three paved highways"
Mary: and the paragraphs about children playing in mud, so colonial
Mart: very colonial and patronising
Jeff: but there's been a twitter storm since
Jeff: have you seen #LifeInTheWateryWilderness?
Mart: I don't have twitter
Mary: I'm looking at it right now
Mary: quite funny the reaction of people
Mary: but also obvious that they took umbrage at the article
Jeff: but the author said he's proud he spurred a debate
Tony: I actually agree with him, he was just sincere about this country
Tony: without the common hypocritical buttering up
Jeff: I think it's an orientalisig and patronising article
Tony: but he did it on purpose, to make us think!
