Brazzil

I guess I might as well get it over with and write what 20 people write after every article by J. Fitzpatrtick. How dare you insult sao paulo, how dare you insult brazil. YOu scottish (insert your own insulting phrase here). If you are so miserable then go back to scottland. There, now perhaps not everybody else will have to write the same thing and people can move on to constructively critisizing the article.

i'm a 20 yo boy and i live in sao paulo. i know many places around the world and there's sometinhg i can tell: there's no better place to live in then sao paulo - if you know how to. my father is rich so i live in a US$1,000 000 apt in moema (south area) i drive a popular car (206 peugeot) in ordert not to show off and i get to go to the best clubs, restaurants, pubs in the world. there's also the greatests malls with all the expensive brands, excellent cinemas plus all the advantages a big city offers to u like thousands of 24/7 services and home dellivery. defenitly sao paulo is the city that never sleeps.

hey, 20-yr-boy, didn't you understand the article? Are you too arrogant to realize what's going on? Outro playboy cheio de marra.

I agree with the post "lucidity", that person got it just right..But if people who are eloquent can raise these issues and make others care for it, we can somewhat help the working class.. it might cause minimal help.. but it's still something. People who just seem to take, take, take (such as daddy's little boy up there) and offer absolutely NOTHING to society are just a big hindrance to world development. Now, on a diff. note, "Brazilians' wish to own guns and shoot people" is definitely something that wouldn't have crossed my mind, I would've voted to BAN the sale of guns in a heartbeat.. Oh, I also have to comment on the reporter from Estado de Sao Paulo: What an imbecile! Was the deadline in 5min.? Things like these embarrass me as a Brazilian; but then again, I can't be responsible for the behavior of 170 million ppl.. There are idiots everywhere, Brazil is no exception, and sterotyping is almost always inaccurate.

Typical behave of the Brazilian elite or Anti American donkeys, "go back to Scotland", go home Bush, etc.
For some Brazilians is good that nobody tell us the truth about our domestic problems.

Before the internet, information was controlled by the Big media, they still controlling a lot,
Because of the illiterate amount of people we have.

But I’m happy, to read John Fitzpatrick articles.

What is happening in Sao Paulo is the same with all others third world big cities.
Go to Bangkok, you see a very expensive Shopping Center, Emporium, from Japanese owners, side by side very poor residence buildings.
Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur etc.

In those cities you will find small bicycle transformed in a stand by restaurant and bakeries, parked at sidewalk, for maids, janitors, security guards, waiters, and nurses eat very cheap food.

What is the difference with Sao Paulo? We have more useless public servants trying to keep these kinds of food sellers away from the street here.

Mr. Fitzpatrick, do not worry , very soon a medial class worker will lose his every day job, and open a small shop around those fancy buildings to sell cheap food to the low salary crowd.

However, for the “Revolting elite” here you cannot compare us with Cheap Asian Workers.
Let’s face it, there is no difference. I’m sure what you have notice in Sao Paulo, is going to repeat in others big cities in Brazil.
That is our reality; even our “Mansion’s Elite” would love to elude itself.

About the referendum, my nine year old daughter knew there was an American pro-gun lobby.
Who they (referendum organizers) want to be deceptive?

in ordert not to show off and i get to go to the best clubs, restaurants, pubs in the world.

You’ve got to be joking? I’ll admit that you can find a fairly boisterous nightlife coupled with some “decent” restaurants in Sampa, but if you think São Paulo possesses world-class gastronomy you’ve not been abroad. Added to that, the very fact that "dining out" requires security logistics, you can place São Paulo at the lower echelon of global nightlife experiences. Use your inherited (and or public service) bucks Senhor playboy, and see what true world-class cities have to offer.

There is far more to dinning out than chomping into an overly salted piece of picanha, with a pistol-whipping as a digestive.

Nothing can more comical than the alien Portuguese the writer above displays. Who've you been hanging out with, for s**t sakes? If you're trying to have all Brazilians on here on stitches, your doing a pretty damn good job. Keep it up!

Brazilians, or macacos as I prefer to call them, are some of the most greedy, resentful, deceitful, and inferiority-ridden animals on Earth.

I've met Nazi descendents from Porto Alegre who think they're the second coming of Hitler, gorillas from the Nordeste who actually believe they live in a paradise, and greedy crooks (aka dirty bastards) from Sao Paulo who I wanted to put 3 bullets into as soon as they said "oi."

Brazil. Quite possibly the s**ttiest place on Earth. And Sao Paulo is its Versailles.

Im impressed. Youre truly well informed and very intelligent. You wrote something that people could understand and made the subject intriguing for everyone. Im saving this for future use.
