The other day I was seeing Who wants to be a millionaire? and there was a question that asked the capital of Germany, it would only be normal that the person that was playing the game would answer Berlin, but no… even if it is one of the most important countries in the world, even if it belongs to de European Union, the same European Union to who Portugal belongs, even if the capital of Germany had (I think that there is still a bit of it left) the most famous wall in the world (well maybe the second)… there are lots of people in Portugal that ignore that the capital of Germany is Berlin. And I ask whose fault is it? I really don’t know, and I won’t try to guess, but I would like to live in a country where people would know more things, other than what was on the soap opera yesterday, and what was the score of the football game of the past weekend…
Portuguese people don’t read anymore, all they do is work and watch TV, and worst of all they watch mostly junk TV… and that’s a pity.
