2005 - June 2005

{mosimage}The Brazilian real continues to strengthen against the US dollar, which was recently quoted at its lowest level since 2002. In contrast to a peak of nearly R$ 4.00 to the dollar in the lead up to Lula's election, now fewer than R$ 2.45 will buy a dollar.

Not many Reais
written by Guest, June 05, 2005
This must really pinch people working outside Brazil sending money back and buying few Reais for their dollar.

IS INTERESTING, BUT BRAZIL IS THE ONLY SOUTH AMERICAN COUNTRY THAT HAS HAD TO CHANGE ITS CURRENCY LIKE FIVE TIMES, BECAUSE OF CONSTANT DEVALUATION.

BACK IN 1989 THEY HAD THE CRUZEIRO, THEN IN 1990 THEY CHANGED TO NOVO-CRUCEIRO, THEN IN 1994 THEY CHANGED TO CRUZADO, THEN IN 1999 THEY CHANGED TO REAL, I WONDER HOW LONG WITH IT BE UNTIL BRAZIL CHANGES IT CURRENCY AGAIN LOL

FOR A COUNTRY THAT SIZE, WITH THAT HUGE AMOUNT OF POPULATION BRAZIL IS SURE LACKING WHEN IT COMES TO TAKING OVER THE LEADING ROLE IN SOUTH AMERICA

IS EMBARRASING WHEN COUNTRIES 10 TIMES SMALLER THAN BRAZIL LIKE CHILE, OR 50 TIMES SMALLER LIKE COSTA RICA, AND WITH POPULATIONS 10 TIMES SMALLER LIKE CHILE, AND 50 TIMES SMALLER LIKE COSTA RICA, CAN HAVE A BETTER ECONOMY, WITH BETTER STANDARD OF LIVING, AND A MORE DIVERSIFIED ECONOMY THAN BRAZIL.

Your garden gnome is also wittier than you and probably has a more engaging personality than you have.

WRITING IN CAPITAL LETTERS MAKE YOU SO MUCH COOLER
first of all Costa Rica gets millions from the U.S. in free aid, Brazil does not. second of all Chile is not the superpower that Brazil is, and Brazil could kick Chile's butt. Its embarrassing to have a fellow english speaker speak it so badly.

Generally, Forum entiquette, inparticular the use of capital letters, is equivalent to shouting in normal conversation.

There you go, an impostor. John Fitzpatrick is Scotish and thus would certainly never say he's English. So who is this impostor and why do you take on someone else's identity?

Costa Rica doesn't get millions from US in aid

Costa rica is a democratic country where they dont even have an army

is one of the safest
most peaceful countries on this hemisphere

you're mistaking it with puerto rico stupid brazilian, puerto rico is the one who gets US aid, not costa rica

and chile is not a super power because of its size, but is richer than brazil, chile doesnt even have favelas

and brazil ISNT A SUPER POWER EITHER!!!

GO AROUND SOUTH AMERICA AND ASK PEOPLE THREE THINGS ABOUT BRAZIL AND THEY'LL SAY THE SAME GRINGOS SAY, p**aS, CARNAVAL, FUTEBOL

JUST TO SHOW U BRAZIL'S MEDIOCRE CULTURAL INFLUENCE ON THE CONTINENT

f**k brazil

TO ALL THOSE MEAN PEOPLE OUT THERE, I know you think Brazil is a s**tHOLE, or whatever, and I'm sure it is relatively speaking, maybe they're not as economically secure as the USA, but man THE WHORES ARE CHEAP. And you can BLOW for a reasonable price too. BEER TOO!!! I"M getting off track, sure it's dirty, kinda violent, lot's of brown people, but it's also a fun place to visit for a week or two. I'd hate to live there though, that might drive me a little crazy. GOD BLESS BRAZIL!!! it's a great place for Americans to go for a week or two out of the year. WHATEVER YOU DO BRAZIL, DON"T EVER CHANGE. I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Well, it may suprise you to learn that Brazilians would like change. You see, Brazilians love Brazil, not as some exotic playground for Americans and Europeans, but as their home. Your condescending "shout out" to "your peeps" is really obnoxious. If all you are looking for is prostitution and a "good time," please stay at home. Oh, and God bless you, too, pig.

PS Lose the phony gangsta argot. It only makes you sound dumber than you are. You're not fooling anyone, white boy.

colombia had the highest murder rate in the world
it has been replaced by jamaica, brazil, south africa and soon to be replaced by mexico

A study published in Brazil concludes that more young people below the age of 18 are killed by guns each year in Rio de Janeiro than in many areas of the world formally at war.
Many slums in Rio de Janeiro have long been run by drug barons, often with links to local politicians and police.
The levels of violence are comparable to a war zone.
In the last 14 years, for instance, almost 4,000 under-18-year-olds were killed by firearms in Rio alone.
That compares, the report says, with just under 500 children killed in the fighting between Palestinians and Israelis in the same period.
There are estimated to be between 5-6,000 armed children in Rio.
The report only covers Rio de Janeiro but there are similar levels of violence in other Brazilian cities.
In particular, areas of São Paolo have some of the highest murder rates of the hemisphere, although the violence, experts say, is more random and less clearly the result of organised gang warfare.

sorry i forgot to say that what i posted above is related to what the guy above my post said about brazil replacing colombia as the murder capital of the world

columbia is 5th
jamaica, brazil, mexico, south africa are above it now.

Typical Opie intelligence or should I say, lack of it? Anyway, his verbosity is exceeded only by his stupidity!

Having said that, isn't amazing that here we are, putting down Brasil and yet, we Brasilians can insult these american apes in their own language and express ourselves in their native language better then they can themselves... America Is One Long Expectoration!

Americans learn geography throught wars...let alone culture!

Crush the Bush.

PS. Getyour spelling right, Not Columbia But Colombia...Got That, spit back wash?


America is the only nation in history which has miraculously gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization…hehehehe

Silly people. Know about what you talk first.

Does anyone knows that Brazil is not only about Rio or Sao Paulo?

I am still loking for some page in English but I think that some pictures would help you guys out there to see a little bit about my country:
http://www.belasantacatarina.com.br
http://www.sc.gov.br
http://www.portalaz.com.br/turismo/novo/default.asp
http://goiasnet.globo.com/dossie/

These links are just a few but I truly believe that when a country
is news in ours tvs shows is always due to some trouble and not to praise anything good about it.

Is there a way to a country live with just p**as, futebol and carnaval as someone mentioned above? I don't think so. Brazil is a huge country with a lot of differences from region to region.
Brazil is a country made from people from all around the world as much as USA, so we may find people that looks like africans, japaneses, italians, portuguese, germans .... and the list goes on .

We do have issues, but we are fighting than as hard as we can as are the other south americans. Maybe if we were not too big it would be so hard but there some really small countries that have almost the same problems we have.

Best reguards.

\"Fitzpatrick\"
written by Guest, June 18, 2005
Sorry, but I don't believe that the person writing the "John Fitzpatrick" posts is really John Fitzpatrick…the former author of articles that appeared in Brazzil.com and who appears to be a well educated person. If on the other hand it is he, how sad. He must have suffered a terrible divorce or something to make him such a sputtering bitter person. In any event, whether he is gay or not is of no consequence and I don't approve of the use of that term as an attempt to insult someone. I don't really think the term gringo is all that nice either. That said, I understand one's hostility toward the juvenile and un-funny postings of "Fitzpatrick." I think, however, that one can more accurately deride his silly commentary by using words that do not insult other people. There is nothing wrong with being gay, a foreigner, or both. Those are not faults. Being a loudmouth, a lout, a fool, an imbecile, insecure, juvenile, and witless are the poster's faults to be sure.

lol...people that dont live in brazil say so much BS
brazil in some ways are fancyer than in the us
its President and the El presidente

Weakening Dollar
written by Guest, July 09, 2005
It is a shame how Washington is dragging our US currency through the toilet. The Dollar has been falling against even the Russian Ruble for some time now. We American's are gouged by the banks when we exchange currencies domestically. Even fourth world countries offer freer market alternatives, not to mention all other first world countries. We Americans are being bound and enslaved to the Dollar, which the politicians can weaken at will, while the average person in the rest of the world can get a fair exchange rate whenever he likes. I smell a really big rat.

Guys why don't you all come to Ssan Diego. Thers are lots of Brazilian and Colombian whores here in SD. We can sample from each nationality then judge which country is the worst. In my opinion the bigest scum bags are :
1.Mexicans
2. Colombians
3. Dominicans
4. Brazilians
