Brazzil

I whole heartedly endore the "Pay Not to Vote Law"
Voting is a privledge and most Americans take for granted.

I applaud Brasil for it's very direct laws and their brand of Democracy.

James from Philadelphia

You seem to mix up everything. The PTt PARTY HAS BEEN ACCUSED AND FOUND GUILTY......FOR A PAY TO VOTE LAW.....NOT....A PAY NOT TO VOTE LAW !!!!


And please explain the democracy in a country where laws exists but are not applied, such as corruptions, impunity, crimes etc etc.

It remains that there are 2 millions of illegal Brazilians in the USA but not 2 millions of illegal Americans in Brazil ! Guess why !

And sorry for you, but in Brazil the vote is mandatory, not a privilege......as you say !
A privilege is a right not an obligation....by definition.

In my view, no doubt that James is only your nickname, to hide the reality of your Brazilian basic education, little knowledge, and nationality !

From the EU !

The Brazilian people are a residual people of history and power artifice. It is yet a disposable people that incorporate itself as a subject of the political process basically on election days. Or else, as mere subject of the nationality, in carnival or world cup times, a beautiful identity but a passive and harmless one, of somebody who has no alternative other than live to be seen or to see. We are a people whose intention is being one in the exceptions of life and not in the everyday of life.

it is a very cool we b site

WELCOME TO AMERICA!!! WE ARE NOT SAFE!!!
INSPECTION SYSTEM STINKS!!!

Chris calm down. That is what I was telling myself before I wrote this.
I want this text to be true and sincere, void of my private emotions. It is hard however to calm yourself when we talk about human suffering, wounds, disability and often even death. My name is Chris Kalinowski - Polish immigrant for 20 years now.
Slowly I began to explore my new country. Slowly it began to fascinate me more and more.
I sacrificed my whole adult life to my family and work.
About 4 years ago, in this country, I got to know new technology that helps securing slippery surfaces and it completely fascinated me. Helping people and thus helping to support my own family.
After few months of work I came to see my new country in a different light. Never did I realize that this country could be so internally unregulated. No one seems to know anything, want to know anything or simply has no power to make a decision or be held responsible. All contacts with people who should know better and react accordingly were different.
My Anti Slip Protection business was created to help people. Unfortunately, not many Americans understand how big this problem really is. It is astounding how such an amazing country, known to all people of our globe, can be so lacking when it comes to safety of their own citizens.
Let me give you few examples. I contacted Building Safety Dept. and Department of Health Services in a number of USA cities. When I asked the inspector about cod resistance I was told to wait while he checks the information on the computer, then admitting that he does not know he gave me a number of another inspector. That inspector never returned my call or responded to any messages I left. The other one, after reading my ad, contacted me visibly interested but told me that he was not in the position to make the decisions. Building Safety and Department of Health Services did not check slip resistance; they passed slippery floors as safe!
Another example. I drive around my city looking for buildings with slippery surfaces. I find one and talk with the manager. I explain the purpose of my business and the need for my anti-slippery service. The manager's response:
'We just had city inspection and everything is in order'
I checked. They were way below the required minimum of 0.5(SCOF).
Building inspections do not include the testing of the slippery surfaces and I feel it is a shamefully neglected category in our country.
A lot of the building and business owners with dangerous floors hide themselves behind their accident insurance policy. Some use my services after the accident happens. When I asked if they consider my services for their other buildings they answer that no one fell there yet and no one sued them there.
From these places I always leave restless knowing that at any time some one can fall there, become handicapped or even die. It can be a child who doesn't know any better, senior citizen, pregnant woman, mailman or even yourself.
After visiting one of the local District Schools where kids fall in the restrooms and locker rooms on the slippery floors I was given the answer:
'We do realize that our floors should be safe, especially in washrooms, but unfortunately we have no money for that'
There are some cases where building and business owners simply don't know that they can do something about slippery surfaces and that's when we see the yellow signs warning us about dangerous floor.
Every now and then I also see the cases of fake accidents. Cases of con artists that use the law to get money from our insurance policies, building and business owners. This country is a home to thousands of attorneys specializing in slip and fall accidents waiting for an accident to happen. Big money, for the attorneys and their clients.
And it is so easy to prevent and eliminate regular and fake slip and fall accidents just by using anti slip protection. Some of the money from my business I use for commercials but it is not nearly enough compared what has to be done for the safety of our city and our entire country.
Thousands of US citizens are injured every day in such accidents.
The Insurance Companies pays for the accident, but cannot return our health!
It is encouraging however that some companies like YMCA recognizes this threat and use my services for which I thank them.

And so I encourage everyone’s co-operation, especially anyone who wants to do everything in their power to make us feel safer in our great country, on our slippery floors.
