Brazzil

It is not easy, power always destroy the man. For this reason, I want a General to take the power in Brazil. Perhaps we can walk again proud on the streets. Democracy is not to Iraq, Afganistan or Brazil. We can not deal with the same leves of corruption in north america. Our society is different.

Yes, f**k Cristaldo

I fear that there is indeed a totalitarian streak among Brazilians that is asserting itself with this "crisis." Hopefully the democracy is strong enough to resist such Neanderthals like the knucklehead above who wants a military dictator. What a dumbass. Of course, that's also what Cristaldo wants, and of course, he's a dumbass too.

MR CRISTALDO SOUNDS JUST LIKE OUR FORMER PREZ FARNANDO HENRIQUE CARDOZO BEFORE BEING ELECTED. WERE HE TO BE ELECTED, Mr CRISTALDO WOULD HAVE TO PLAY WITH THE BOYS THE SAME GAME THEY PLAY. NOW, THE CRUCIAL QUESTION REMAINS: WOULD HE, OR WOULD NOT HE PLAY THE GAMES, OR "PLAY BALL"? THAT´S THE 64K DOLLAR QUESTION!!!

I cant believe that Brasil cannot work out how to eliminate corruption.

I'm in favor of a long-term approach to eliminate corruption in Brazil. Here are some of the measures:
1) The creation of a group called: Brazilians Living abroad against Corruption. This group would be supported financially by Brazilians abroad but would lobby in Brasilia.
2) Anti-corruption curricula to be implemented in all schools in Brazil;
3) Bonus programs for those employed in public service that has a proven record of honesty in the job;
4) The creation of a privilege-free maximum security prison for high security criminals - white collars criminals - administered by an International Security Force – Brazilians’ tax money would have to be allocated to cover the costs.
5) The creation of an independent news organization that would denounce corruption and praise honesty!


If you can help me to brainstorm some ideas, please do so.

My fellow idealist BLAC, your idea, as the gringos say, does not hold water. Brazilians are creative people (they have to be) to survive with less than U$70 per month, and your suggestions, despite being good won´t pass the test. That´s why some people are pulling for an ironhand dictator. Does it work? nope! a dictator will then benefit a few close associates and pretend to arrest the other down in the rank.
My answer: PRIVATIZE GOVERNEMENT, AND INCREASE THE BIRTH CONTROL METHODS!

Thank you for your encouragement. But I'm hoping that my ideas would attract posters who are more knowledgeable and more optimistic. Thanks, anyway!

BLAC

DERA BLAC, SORRY FOR THE NEGATIVE INPUT, BUT YOU MUST BE WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE 10% TOP POPULATION, THOSE WHO HAVE THE RESOURCES. ARE YOU IN THE PUBLIC SERVICES?

I'm not in the public services. But I would think that you're not one of those people who survive with less than U$70 per month, either. You have a computer or access to one plus you can write in English. These are indicators of some socio-economic privilege. So I can understand someone on a U$70 paycheck been pessimistic. But from what does your bitterness come from?

Mr. Crook,
Maria Eliziaria, a poor 60 year old woman from Campina Grande,PB, has returned her federal welfare ID card to the government after been notified that her retirement benefits would start coming in. By doing so, she has given up money from the Brazilian government because she said she could live on her retirement. She justified her action by saying that other needed people could benefit from the same welfare program. Following her example, 200 other people on the same welfare program from the same town have also done the same. These are people who have found jobs so they did not "need" the additional federal help. The point here is not if someone can survive on retirement compensation in Brazil.
The point is: these people probably would not have been born if their mothers were on pills; poor people in Brazil are not the dishonest bastards in Brasilia. Many of them are honest, hard-working, responsible citizens, and much more patriotic than many of "the well-educated club." And they are optimistic, as well.

Frankly, it's amazing that so many Brazilians are as hard working and nice as they are, willing to clean wealthy people's homes, help park and clean cars they can't afford, sell popcorn or whatever on the street, sell stuff in traffic jams, etc. If Brazilians were so bad as people seem to think, the crime would be much worse than it is. Of course, a guy like Cristaldo doesn't give a damn about those Brazilians, except that he wants them to remain nice and peaceful and compliant. The help of strong military police, maybe even fascim, to keep the people in line and allow rich people to carry on, is all he cares about. His articles are pure bulls**t. He wouldn't know civic duty if it kicked him in the ass.

is a man like Harry Lee, of Singapore.
He stopped corruption on its tracks by his `clean house `policy.

Needless to say many corrupt public servants lost their heads literary speaking.

Let's start with Cristaldo then…

"Strange logic. As if having illiterate father and mother was some title or reason to be proud of, or a certificate of honesty."

No, of course, you are right, Cristaldo. It's something he should be ashamed of, for what poor person has the right to join the ranks of the elite? None. No, they should stay just where they are and let "educated" people like you and your friends do what's best for them.

No, Cristaldo, you've got it the wrong way around. Being poor is not a certificate of honesty. Being born into the wealthy elite class is a certificate of corruption, dishonesty, and a lack of any interest in your fellow man, unless he's a member of the club.

Cristaldo is such an elitist ass and an "educated" fool.

f**k Bush

I love to f**k bush. Brazilian bush is awsome too, but usually not "bush," since it's totally waxed smooth a lot of the time.

you are looking at the wrong Bush...

Ooooooh, that Bush! No, I'd never f**k him. He's nasty. I'll leave that to John Ashcroft (he writes show tunes, you know) and Dick Cheney (his wife wrote a torrid lesbian novel, you know). I'll stick to women.

You can go to college and you can go to school, but if you're Janer Cristaldo, you're just an educated fool.

To rhyme like that it’s got to be Jessie….I Am, I Am, Some Daddy, Some Daddy!

No, you have to be a blues artist…I ripped it off from an old blues/gospel tune and changed the lyrics. The original reads, "if you don't belive in Jesus, you're just an educated fool." I guess that applys to Cristaldo too though, since he's an atheist (the only redeeming quality he seems to possess).

One thing is sure though: Cristaldo is a complete fool! And your racist alteration of Jessie Jackson's "I am somebody" affirmation betrays your point of view, which is pretty much the same as Cristaldo's, and your really lame, white-boy sense of humor (being humor-challeged is unfortunate affliction of right-wing fools).

another bible thumper.

Let me ask you this question: Is God American?
