Brazzil

You see, it is not me who darkens the Brazilian image...as you said.

Dark is the reality in Brazil, everywhere, whatever the subject you look at !

Just read more informations on your own country.......instead of watching your
Soap Opera TV ! In these movies...it is all fiction.

Wake up, stand up to the sad reality !

It is not in taking defense or taking more lightly than what reality is that your country
will move forward.

Every Brazilian should stand up and say....enough is enough...to their politicians and governments they elected !!!!!
Every Brazilian should point their fingers to those responsible.

Sadly, you re-elect them ! And you take their repeated promises as granted...while they are never delivered !!!!!

There's nothing wrong with expressing your sexually, being comfortable on your skin, it doesn't mean those people will get pregnant at a early age. Educating children is the main factor to avoid teen pregancy, STDs, . Not saying to them like they do in the USA to no have sex, it is not working over here either... the difference is in the USA women can get abortions and in Brazil they cannot.(at least not legally and safe).
It is proven that kids that grow learning how to be comfortable on their own skin and there's nothing wrong with sex turn out more responsible and healthy adults and have healthier relationships. There's nothing wrong with nudity on TV, the human body is beautiful and should be showcased, also sex is a natural thing, a beautiful thing...
In Brazil you will see TV commercials about condoms, also free clinics provide free birth control and condoms to anyone, you just have to go there and ask.

LET"S CELEBRATE THE NUDE HUMAN FORM AND SAFE SEX!!!!

Who doesn't agree with providing sexual education and keeping them at school until 18 years??? NO ONE! But it is very stupid though to affirm that condom distribution in schools would not help changing the situation! It DOES! Your is a religious prespective based on faith and not on reason. Keep it for yourself, if you believe in horoscopes and deities and all that crap it's just your business. Your same perspective supported by Christians & religious people in Africa has caused millions of death and orphans in that poor continet because christian organizations and personnel (priests & nuns) have always refused to distribute condoms and now you have countrie liek Botswana where 30% are hiv positive! For your damn religious principle and blind faith millions of people have died and millions of children are without their parents.Shame on you! it's 2007, enough with your religious absurdities!

I didn't mean to be rude but the sitation right now is so crazy in Africa and I really get angry when people still protest against condoms.

I agree with Luca - at least in brazil they are getting people used to the idea of always using them. In Africe where AIDS is devastating, the culture is against condom usage. Change culture is a slow process

Sad thing is the young brasileiros do not and do not want to use these even when available at the moment of need. Of course the naked human body is delightfull and to be celebrated in whatever size, shape or form it comes in. If it is presented breifly on the TV or popular movies in or out of the context of a sexual encounter or it is present on the praia when going to the water who really should care? This is naturale and part of human life. It does not drive teens / post-teens to doing things that are not in everyones best interest. The factual educatation must be provided early and repeatedly (best done by the schools) and the qualities of personal responsibility, judicious actions and concientious choice must also be cultured (best done by the families).

"Like saying to them in the US do not have sex?" Are you a parent? Do you have a daughter? Are you actually telling your teenaged daughter to go out and have sex? Are you really encouraging her to get f**ked by some desesed kid that has no idea what he is doing? Isn't it OK to try and keep your children from having sex to young? But I also agree, we must be pragmatic, sex education, in particlular safe sex is taught in our schools everywhere. We need to teach our young about the perils of unprotected sex...and while the US (even though you hate to admit it) is a highly sexual society, check out MTV or listen to your kids music, new cases of STD's and AIDS are at an all time low. No, you are correct while I am telling my teenaged daughter not to have sex, to wait until she finds some she really falls in love with, make it romantic not recreation, I am also teaching her how to take care of herself, don't get pregnant, finish college and have a carrer, unlike a Brazilian women, to be someone.

Brazil on the other hand teaches their daughters they are only worth sex, they MUST have a man, no mattter how she is treated. It is why Brazilian men have no respect for women, women are treated like whores and often abused, both phyically and sexualy with impunity. Brazil has done an admirable job in reducing the horrible AIDS rates of the 80's. but STD's and AIDS are still a huge problem. You are correct though, I am teaching my daughter to be responsible, to wait, to not have sex too young. Brazil is teaching her daughters to start f**king their brains out at 12...what a wonderful country you come from.

I don't have a teeneger daughter, my son is only 5 years old but if I have a daughter I wounldn't be telling her to not have sex. I would be educating her like I will do to my son, so he won't go out there and get some girl pregnant when he doesnt have the financial resources to support her and the child or get a a STD. Telling kids to not have sex only will make them want do. Remember when you were young and your parents told you to no go somewhere? What did you do? You went there, right?
I had my son at 18, I wore protection but it failed, I am against abortion myself but do not blaim other women that get them especially if they are too young or suffered sexual violence.
Sex is a beautiful thing and if done is a safe way, that is nothing wrong with it. In Brazil no one teach girls to have sex early at all. You have your information wrong. We are not sluts just because we are ok with nudity and open sexually. USA was founded by Puritans that believed nudity and sex is evil and god forbid if we say we enjoy sex. Women can never say they enjoy sex, they just do because it is their obligation.
I am a neo-feminist and believe in women's sexual liberation. I believe in educating kids about sex.

Brazil on the other hand teaches their daughters they are only worth sex, they MUST have a man, no mattter how she is treated. It is why Brazilian men have no respect for women, women are treated like whores and often abused, both phyically and sexualy with impunity.

Any evidence of that?

Brazil has done an admirable job in reducing the horrible AIDS rates of the 80's. but STD's and AIDS are still a huge problem.

The percentage of the Brazilian population with AIDS is almost exactly that of the United States. Both countries have below 1% of their population with HIV/AIDS. I'm not exactly sure, but I think the United States posts either .6% or .06%, and Brazil posts I think either .7% or .07%. So basically Brazil and the United States has something likely roughly seven or eight tenths percent of their population with AIDS. Hardly the image of contrast to the United States you implied by state Brazil's problem as "huge" in relation to the United States "at an all time low." By the way were you aware that just a year or two ago in the United States it was reported that half the teenage population in the United States carried an STD? How that stands today I'm not quite sure, nonetheless it begs the question of what the implications of "all time low" would mathematically equate to.

need to tape them to soft drink bottles not school buildings

So people that don't go to school don't get condoms ????

that's right breed more uneducated people Brazil needs more politicians

why not start holding the catholic church responsible for all the children born to unwed mothers because they are Catholic and the pope says not to use them .

go after the men that don't use them as they say it is not natural , when there name shows up on the birth certificate make them pay, not the government 1

and if you were or are a good catholic you should not be having sex before you are married in the first place

GTY - BuLL: it's not like this at all.

Ana P - More BuLL: Todays decendants of the Puritans may be a little bit more conservative about privacy matters but we have no such problems as you speak. Forget this, you have good heart for what you are doing and plan to do.

A brazilian - I am surprised you did not have a stronger response. Why can you not say something in proper defense like more than 1/2 your population would say "I am Brasileira, if I open my legs to a man it is my choice."

e harmony - 1/2 of all teenagers with STD's all at one time? WOW- that suggests 1/2 are doing a Nancy Reagan and just saying NO. Maybe the statistics indicate 1/2 end up getting something sometime during their teen years? Do you count getting crabs once and genital warts once some time later from the same pu?a girlfriend as a 100% infection rate?

forrest allen brown - Why would a coke bottle need a condom on it? I think most Brasileiros who procreate by chance do what they can to help provide for and care for thier offspring even if they subsequently don't get married to the mother. Are you suggesting that if all babies were born in the hospital maybe (or maybe not) the fathers identity would be forced to be recorded accurately for subsequent governmental action? The ideas of what a good catholic is / does is an ideal, it is not a natural reality.

Anthing that ensures the supply of young ho's are continually and constantly being refreshed and added to is a good thing, keep up the good work Brasil, your citizens are "dying" for more

You are exremley naive and obviously new to the United States, I hope you teach your son to respect women, unlike the men in your home country. I am really glad you do not have a daughter, as you stated you would TEACH her to have sex, instead of teaching her first to respect yourself herself and her body. Your comments ensure a future train wreck for your children, it's unfortunate but I have seen it before.

I will not teach my son to have sex or if I have a daughter(I can still have one). I am going to educate them about sex and sex safe not tell them how to sex is a evil and horrible things. I would worry much more if my kid is driving a car at the age 0f 16 years old, since a lot of kids drink and drive. Sex is my last worry if they are doing with protection. There's so much more horrible things like violence on TV and games, drugs, etc...
I am not New to the USA, been here for 4 years and know well how people views on nudity and sex are.
I am happy that I am comfortable with my body and sexuality and do not live repressed like most here.
Respect has nothing to do with sex, I know a lot of horrible people that are Christian that only do the "missionary" position and many gays and women that have many sexual experiences that are wonderful, caring people.

You really are the Brazilian sterotype...4 years and already you are anti-American? That's not new? How can you comment on things you know nothing about? Geez, where do you all come from? Go back home to the great life you enjoyed in Brazil. How much of a chance would your son have back in Brazil as the son of an Empregada? I'll bet your son is in a good school, safe and has a decent future here. How ungratful you pathetic boors really are. Who gives a s**t if you are comfortable with your body, what's that mean? I think you have a real hang up about sex. I'm a Christian and my favorite position is doggy style, love anal and have lots of adult toys...oh, but my wife is a Brazilian who Naturalized, when will you.

GTY is sick

Well, here's one about the impunity that takes place as a matter of routine, if you want ones about domestic violence I can post those too. By the way, Brazil was the LAST country in the Americas to have a law against domestic violence, it has yet to celebrate it's first birthday!

The situation in Brazil, like many other countries, is one in which domestic violence is against the law, but in practice is regularly tolerated. In Brazil, according to San Pablo Catholic University, only 2 percent of criminal complaints for domestic violence against women lead to conviction of the aggressor. The following case is illustrative of the state response to domestic violence in Brazil.

Maria da Penha Maia Fernandes suffered years of violence perpetrated by her husband Marco Antonio Heredia Viveiros. On May 29, 1983, he shot his wife while she was sleeping. As a result of the attack, Ms Fernandes sustained serious injuries including permanent paraplegia. Two weeks after she returned from the hospital, Mr. Viveiros attempted to kill Ms. Fernandes by electrocuting her while she was bathing.

In 1984, the Public Prosecutor filed charges against Mr.Viveiros. The case languished for eight years before Mr, Viveiros was found guilty and sentenced to fifteen years in prison, reduced to ten since he had no prior convictions. Through a series of appeals and the extremely slow action of the courts, another four years elapsed before, in 1996, a second trial was ordered in which he was again convicted and sentenced to ten years in prison. Further appeals have followed and today, nineteen years after the near fatal attack, the perpetrator is still free and the courts have not yet issued a final ruling. Ms. Fernandes, on the other hand, requires full time nursing care, medication, and physical therapy. She receives no financial support from her ex-husband to cover these costs nor does she receive the alimony stipulated in the separation order. In a years time, any punishment will be barred by the statute of limitations, and if this happens, the perpetrator will enjoy total impunity.

Ms. Fernandes may finally be able to get justice. The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), one of the two entities established by the Organization of American States for the protection of human rights, reviewed the failure of the Brazilian legal system to rule on this case in a timely manner. Now, in a landmark ruling, the IACHR is holding the government of Brazil accountable for its judicial tolerance of domestic violence in the case of Maria da Penha Maia Fernandes perpetrated by Marco Antonio Heredia Viveiros.

The Commission determined that, "The failure to prosecute and convict the perpetrator under these circumstances is an indication that the state condones the violence suffered by Maria de Penha, and this failure by the Brazilian courts to take action is exacerbating the direct consequences of the aggression by her ex-husband....(t)he condoning of this situation by the entire system only serves to perpetuate the psychological, social, and historical roots and factors that sustain and encourage violence against women."

This ruling recognized that Brazil has a responsibility under international law to take effective action in prosecuting and convicting perpetrators of domestic violence. Moreover, the decision explicitly recognized that Brazil's inaction in domestic violence cases represented a pattern of discrimination. The Commission said what many activists for women's rights know to be true: government inaction in domestic violence cases creates a climate conducive to the violence.

The Brazilian legal system failed Maria da Penha Maia Fernandes, as it fails many other women and girls who are victims of violence. No woman should wait eighteen years for a ruling in a case of attempted murder. No perpetrator should be allowed to operate with such impunity that he remains free for nineteen years while his case languishes in court. Now the IACHR has intervened to tell the Brazilian government that it is accountable for its role in perpetuating violence against women by allowing batterers to act with impunity.

The Inter-American Commission made recommendation to the government of Brazil calling on them to finalize criminal proceedings against Mr. Viveiros, and to make the necessary reforms to address the bias in the legal system against domestic violence victims. Unfortunately, throughout the process of the Commissions consideration of this case, the Government of Brazil did not respond and failed to participate in any way.

Please write to the Minister of Justice in Brazil calling on him to implement all of the recommendations of the Inter-American Commission and in particular to complete criminal proceedings against Mr. Viveiros for assault and attempted murder and to compensate the victim. Express concern that Brazil did not participate in the proceedings of this case and note that Brazil has an obligation to protect victims of domestic violence and to prosecute perpetrators.

Haha.

1- Such university doesn't exist. There's no "San Pablo" anywhere in Brasil;
2- Therefore such study must not exist;

You just copied a text from a feminist site! What would they say? Of course there are cases of violence, but it's not enough to say that all brazilians disrespect women. This specific case must be from some illiterate couple living in the middle of nowhere, or a very poor favela, both without any chance in life and used to drinking. It's the only explanation, normal people wouldn't act such as this.

I must be from the richest state, richest city, richest everything in Brazil because 99% of what is claimed about Brazil is brazilians I just can't see in real life.

Bo, GTY had affirmed children are taught "they are only worth sex, that they must have a man". This is incorrect and I don't see how your copy-and-paste activity has anything to do with that.

you asked a very general question, "do you have proof of that", the above response was directed to his part of the statement where he said women that are abused in brazil, their perpetrators are treated with impunity.

Brazil on the other hand teaches their daughters they are only worth sex, they MUST have a man, no mattter how she is treated.

This is the claim.

It is why Brazilian men have no respect for women, women are treated like whores and often abused, both phyically and sexualy with impunity.

Now he claims the first claim is the cause of why "brazilians" (in his clueless american mind) treat women like whores (?) and abuse them.

Did it help your small mind? I know it's difficult for you, but if you try hard maybe you can start understanding a little better of what people write in here.

Read that if you want to know about the archaeic and caveman-like laws that existed and still exist today in brazil concerning women. It also states and acknowledges the fact that racial discrimination was "just recently recongnized" in brazil by brazilians of it's existance...(roll eyes...and still not by Baghdad Bob), and black women suffer the worst of these predjudices and discriminations.

Also to note, the "culture" of brazil promotes women as sex objects. All one has to do is turn on his tv on sunday in brazil and see on nearly every brazilian channel you have gorgeous girls shaking their nearly totally nude asses in front of the tv. What does that promote?? For women to be aerospace engineers??

Haha.

1- Such university doesn't exist. There's no "San Pablo" anywhere in Brasil;
2- Therefore such study must not exist;

OK retard..."Sao Paulo" Catholic University. Better now???

You'd be comic relief if these situations weren't so pathetic and actually allowed to continue to exist and exasperated by idiots like yourself.

What would be of you without Google?

None of those women are forced to do such and aren't prevented from following a carreer and studying. Americans can't accept the fact that some women actually enjoy sex and enjoy such things. Sex and nudity aren't things that should be avoided as if they were bad.

Only in the mind of a puritan s**thead nudity and sex are bad.

never said sex was bad, I, as well as every other american I know, love it! But, it's only natural for you to twist and tort peoples words Baghdad Bob, we've all seen it and most have experienced it, lol.

What is not right is the perception of women that the brazilian media imposes here in brazil, as sex objects. Constantly showing the ass of a brazilian woman. You should take a little trip up to the northeast of your country. You'd see just how much respect the men up here have for women. If they couldn't have sex with them they'd more than likely put a bounty on their heads.

Constantly showing the ass of a brazilian woman.

They are very well paid to do so.

Thank God Brazil is not the northeast.

You must be living in another time, just like Mark Wells, the 19th or something like it.

Is that possible, Bob? I thought that time machines were science fiction stuff.

>>> Thank God Brazil is not the northeast.

Quote: Thank God Brazil is not the northeast.

How sad. Looks like prejudice against the northeast will never die. Without the northeast, there wouldn't be a Brasil.

This is a response for the one who signed as "ch.c., 2007-02-02 02:21:33" (Attention : A Brazilian !!!!!):

We, Brazilians, re-elected Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (Lula) as Brazil's president, and you, North Americans (not Amaricans, because we are also) re-elected George W. Bush. What attitude was the worst? Do people around the world hate Lula or Bush? Is Arnold Schwarzenneger capable to govern California twice, as you, North Americanas, re-elected him?
Shut up and do not comment what you know nothing about.

What exactly is brazil???? Rio is not brazil, the northeast of brazil is not brazil, naturally sao paulo couldn't be brazil with all the crime, murder, and bus burnings going on there...where is this shanga-la called brazil???

You really are the Brazilian sterotype...4 years and already you are anti-American? That's not new? How can you comment on things you know nothing about? Geez, where do you all come from?

I am not anti-American. I am anti-american idiot. I am not a empregada by the way, it did work as one when I was a kid(14-15) then I finished school and learned how to speak 3 languages so I could work with turists not only Americans. I live here because of my husband job and his inability to learn how to speak Portuguese. You have to make sacrifices for your family, you know?
I am not ungrateful because no one ever gave me anything, I had to work hard for it. Americans are Puritas that view nudity and sex as wrong evil thing when they should be worry about their kids drinking and driving, doing drugs, buying guns, fighting, etc. There's a lot big problems in the world like poverty, hunger, murders, rapes, child mosletation, etc. but Americans are worried about nudity showing on Brazilian TV, that's insane...
I saw this show called intervention and it was a case about a girl(20) that has bulimia, she binge and purge 7 times a day. Her parents kicked her out because she was eating all of their food. She got a job as a stripper so she could afford to buy food for her binging. When they told her parents that she was stripping to buy food, they were more worry about that than the fact she has bulimia and she would die because her heart would stop. That shows you that parents and people in general has their priorities really screwed up here.

It seems that americans believe the world should be grateful to them as if they were giving things away. What a bunch of idiots.

I'm anti-American idiot as well...and I'm an American. Your desire to better yourself is admirable. But you did not answer the questions regarding your son. Are his opportunites better here or in Brazil? Where would he be going to Kindergarten in Brazil, would he really be safe, safer you claim than in Amercia? I also get bored with my wife's friends who married Gringos and claim that it is such a "sacrifice" to live here. Perhaps NY is not the best place for you, maybe a move down here to Miami were we have a huge succesful Brazilian community would make it less of a "sacrifice". I am assuming since you say your husband does not speak Portuguese, that he is not completley comfortable in the Brazilian community. We have Brazilian friends whose Gringo husbands do not let them even speak Portuguese. Bad choices for mates. We lived in Rio (Ipanema) for a couple of years, I loved it and would have stayed, even learned to speak the language OK, but making a living is the real reason we came back. I'll bet your husband would never consider living in Brazil wether he speaks Portuguese or not. Are you also saying kids in Brazil do not drink and drive, sell and take drugs, buy guns? The kids of Zona Sul were the most spoiled bunch of brats I have ever known. In fact, one rich friends kids killed a poor pedistrian drunk driving in Copacabana, I think he paid a $R10,000 fine. I think perhaps your husband and his family might have created a narrow minded picture of America. I promise you that the average American is very aware of the worlds and America's problems and care very little about nudity on Brazilian TV...in fact that is just a plain silly argument. Are you living in the city, or upstate? Because I was raised in Los Angeles and live in Miami, both very liberal cultures completly at home with other cultures and sexuality. Have you ever been to South Beach? LA? San Francisco? I am afraid that just because your husband married someone who was once an Empregada, he still might treat you like one. I saw a story recently about Brazilian models dying of eating disorders, perhaps if they had parents who encouraged an education and a level of self respect that would have prevented eating disorders they would still be alive. We do have a major difference though, I too would be upset if my daughter was a stripper (sorry, I must be an American idiot), I would not love her any less, but I thank God she is doing well at Boston University and my youngest, my son, is doing well at the University of Miami. If you have worked so hard to change your enviroment, you should work just as hard to make sure your daughters don't have to be strippers, or lack the self respect to have an eating disorder. Just because a family does not want this type of life for their children does not make them "Puritans" or Idiots. I'll bet you in-laws are real pieces of work. Are they pleased your husband married a Brazilian? Perhaps your home sickness would subside if you were in a different place and situation here. Like anywhere else, the majority of American's are not "Puritan idiots" but very good people. I am assuming you are here legally, my wife used to spemd summers with my kids in Brazil, it really helped her with her home sickness when she first arrived her...oh, and both my kids speak fluent Portuguese, I hope yours does as well.

Also to note, the "culture" of brazil promotes women as sex objects. All one has to do is turn on his tv on sunday in brazil and see on nearly every brazilian channel you have gorgeous girls shaking their nearly totally nude asses in front of the tv.

This is a pretty stupid comment when not taking in to account many areas of Brazil's renowned body culture. I mean Brazilian male beach wear are popularly small, tight, speedos. That is like the opposite of what is popular amongst U.S. males for beach wear (baggy shorts). Brazil is also the culture that introduced male pugilist in the NHB competition wearing tight, high cut, form fitting spandex type shorts rather than just the baggy tradition Karate Gi's or one time popular baggy kick boxing pants worn in U.S. kick boxing. Lets not even talk about all the transsexuals in Brazil or in carnival.

Brazil is like ancient Rome and Greece in her appreciation for the male and female form. One upping antiquity, Brazil perfected the physique of the emerging third-gender, to which many Southern Italians now dedicate the devotion of their gaze. The Brazilian woman (not the third-gender transsexual) is just a specimen that lust and adore can hardly stay way from. It's not that she is not smart; It's not that she is not motherly; It's not that she is not a sister, friend, or patron to the mind and arts; It's that her golden body glistens all things carnal and like algebra brings union to inequalities and expressions of infinity. That is why all men have sexual longing for the Brazilian woman. That is why you have a Brazilian wife and not an American (USA) wife.

My wife is Brazilian...and I thank God everyday. When you compare an American's idea of beauty...Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan..ect...it is a stark reality to the real beauty, both inside and out, of a true Carioca!

We are not ashamed of our bodies. Myself wore a bikini and exposed my pregnant belly, I gained only 15lbs and I was glowing and felt so amazing for the fact I was carrying a life inside me. On the other side, women in the USA hide themselves, gains like 50 lbs and feel ugly the whole time.
Also nudity has nothing to do with sex, being nude is just that: being nude. No sexual correlation whatoever. I walk around my house naked, grew up with my mom and dad doing the same, I have never closed the door to change myself at my family house.
I think clothes contricted me, the less i wear the more comfortable I feel.
When my husband met me, he told me: thank god, I found a woman that likes to be naked around the house, I thought I was the only one that does that. He is of French decent born in the USA and has travelled all over the world and has a very open mind.
The human body is beautiful why not celebrate it? There's nothing to be ashamed of...

Your parents walking around the house naked when you grew up. That has to be the dumbest f**kin thing I have seen on this blog yet. You do crack me up though.

Not dumb at all. They were very much "hippie" so they did that. Nothing wrong with that. I learned how to love my body and grew up with a good body image of myself because my parents weren't ashamed of their bodies. They were not nudist but there's many nudist that do the same. Nudity has nothing to do with sex, there's nothing wrong with it. I guess you can't accept that.

You are so simple...it really is quite cute. Don't breed anymore.

I don't breed because I am NOT a animal. Simple things in life is what makes us happy...

More of the american ignorance...

You may be right, but I would still love to see you walking around nude.

If that is the case you must be really happy. Actually, your probably a really nice person, just like the young Brazilian woman who cleans my house. A simple life, with a simple mind, maybe it would be nice, not so bad. She is pretty hot and I'll bet you 20 bucks I'll have her walking around my house naked in the next month or so. It's why I really love to hang out around the Brazilian community in Miami. You Brasileras are so quick to drop your drawers to give up a great piece of ass. Yes, maybe I'm an ignorant American, but I have found out how SIMPLE it is to nail Brazilian women any time any where...please don't ever change this great trait you all genetically poses. Let me know if you ever get to Miami.

Expressing one's sexuality has nothing to do with having sex with a lot of people. See you guys are always linking nudity and being sexually open with having sex and being promiscious. I happily married for 5 years , I don't cheat but I am very free about my body.
Like I said everything here has to have a sexual conection. Example: Me and my girlfriend walking around holding hands and someone yelling at us: get a room, girls! We are not lesbians just friends and friends do hold hands.
Another example is when I met people and kiss them on the both cheeks, they seem really shocked or if I touch their hands or hair while talking. Sometimes I do it on purpose and I hug and kiss my girlfriend on the cheek and squeeze her, The look on people's face is truly priceless!

Also you should be really proud of yourself to slave someone for $20 bucks to clean your house. I only hope that you can sleep at night...

Phrase of the week: "Myself wore a bikini". A really big perceptional difference between the US and Brazil is that in the states, people who are out of shape, obese or wildly out of proportion in terms of locally accepted norms, try to hide their bodies with mumus and other clothing. Whereas here they don bikinis and hit the beaches. Many also urinate in public parks. Just a different way of looking at life. Terrifying to the Tourists from Toledo. Frightening to the Fatties from Fargo. Disgusting to the Dozen from Duluth.

Actually, I pay $80 to have my house cleaned, it takes Tatiana about 4 hours. She does have a great brown Brazilian ass and I expect very soon I will tap it. I get at least 12 text messages a day from Brazilian girls I have met and dated. I REALLY DO like the fact that they are simple and happy. American women are so complex and smart, in particular I don't much care for educated women. The Brazilian women I know just seem so grateful to get a date...and I mean GRATEFUL. I know all the Brazilian Clubs in Pompano Beach and have even learned a little Portuguese which really gets em hot, I am particularly attracted to Mulata's, they are nuts and you are right, very uninhibited about sex, really anything goes. Sometimes I feel guilty, but they always seem to come back for more. I have even introduced my friends to the Brazilian Clubs and Bars, 2 of them have married Brazilians...again prefering the simplicity of having ignorant wifes...not my cup of tea, but I don't hold it against them.

I am not a empregada by the way, it did work as one when I was a kid(14-15) then I finished school and learned how to speak 3 languages so I could work with turists not only Americans.

An empragada...


I did work as one....

tourists


Well, it appears you learned how to speak, now if you could only spell and learn grammar you could be on the same level of my 13 year old nephew.

When they told her parents that she was stripping to buy food, they were more worry about that than the fact she has bulimia and she would die because her heart would stop. That shows you that parents and people in general has their priorities really screwed up here.

Well thank god they've got their priorities in order in brazil!!!

Also to note, the "culture" of brazil promotes women as sex objects. All one has to do is turn on his tv on sunday in brazil and see on nearly every brazilian channel you have gorgeous girls shaking their nearly totally nude asses in front of the tv. What does that promote?? For women to be aerospace engineers??



This is a pretty stupid comment when not taking in to account many areas of Brazil's renowned body culture. I mean Brazilian male beach wear are popularly small, tight, speedos. That is like the opposite of what is popular amongst U.S. males for beach wear (baggy shorts). Brazil is also the culture that introduced male pugilist in the NHB competition wearing tight, high cut, form fitting spandex type shorts rather than just the baggy tradition Karate Gi's or one time popular baggy kick boxing pants worn in U.S. kick boxing. Lets not even talk about all the transsexuals in Brazil or in carnival.

Brazil is like ancient Rome and Greece in her appreciation for the male and female form. One upping antiquity, Brazil perfected the physique of the emerging third-gender, to which many Southern Italians now dedicate the devotion of their gaze. The Brazilian woman (not the third-gender transsexual) is just a specimen that lust and adore can hardly stay way from. It's not that she is not smart; It's not that she is not motherly; It's not that she is not a sister, friend, or patron to the mind and arts; It's that her golden body glistens all things carnal and like algebra brings union to inequalities and expressions of infinity. That is why all men have sexual longing for the Brazilian woman. That is why you have a Brazilian wife and not an American (USA) wife.

LOL....listen to the idiot telling us how brazil is, truly lmao!!! He ADMITTEDLY has NEVER been here!!

It's called the power of books, bo.

How many languages do you speak, Bo? If my typing and spelling equals to a 13 year old, it must be real good then since I have been in this country for only 4 years. Also, sometimes my blood gets a little heat up and my typing gets a little out of hand

Ok I think I am done posting on this site since there's a lot of mean people here. Keep the site for yourselves! I am OUT!!!!

I read a book about world war II while in high school.....I now consider myself a veteran of that war. I petitioned the U.S. gov't. for veterans benefits some years ago explaining how I am now a world war II veteran after reading the books about it. I can't understand why they continually turn me down!!

Your analogy fails because I do not claim nor consider myself a Brazilian. However, there are many scholars and historians of wars spanning from WWII to the Crusades who have never fought or served in either one, yet they are considered authorities on the subject. In fact I don't doubt that most the peoples that are hired by organizations such as the UN or Human Rights Watch, to compile data (perhaps previously researched) and present it to the public audience, never stepped one foot in most the countries they are editing essays on, including Brazil.

e, until you come to brazil, live here, at least for a couple years, your opinions on brazil hold absolutely no water with me, and most people I know, foreigners as well as brazilians themselves.

You make yourself look dumber than you may actually be, if possible, when you talk about brazil like you know it because you read a book, lol.

And you Bo...how many years have you lived in the US? Why should your opinions count? Did you read a book or two?
