Brazil's Politicians Share the Spoils

The title of your article explains it all,old chap.No need to elaborate further.However, we have a "clique club", that consists of old "Brazilian hands". Lets hear from the members.

Don´t care if politicians share the spoils, as long as they don´t Spoil the Shares.

Last Night on a major u.s. television program aired nightly to no less than 40 million or more viewers... a guest , an american ( actress- comedian ) was asked , how she liked her visit to R.J. Brazil... her answer..., I NEVER SAW SO MANY WHORES (prostitutes) IN MY LIFE.... ,!!!!....THAT WAS HER IMPRESSION... She indicated it was her first and undoubtedly last trip to Brazil...

Wasn´t it Tim Maia that said that Brasil was the only place in the world where prostitutes fall in love with their customers?

Amen Brother!!!

I NEVER SAW SO MANY WHORES (prostitutes) IN MY LIFE.... ,!!

A Pussy tax would boost the local economy!

PUT A METER ON IT LIKE THE TAXIS IN BRAZIL BUT OF CORSE THE METER WOULD BE ON 2 WHEN A GRINGO WAS PAYING THE BILL .
HOW ABOUT A PUMP TAX OR CHRAGE BY THE METER LAID A YEAR

NOT AT ALL.....!!!!!
IT WOULD BE SHARED AMONGST THE POLITICIANS AS THEY DO FOR ALL OTHER TAX REVENUES !!!!!

And despite my regular sarcasms here, no doubt that the Brazilian economy and citizens will always pay the well being of the government and its vast army in charge to apply
the tax collection and re-distribution army to the few privileged....called the......the civil servants !!!!!
Such a name is funny in Brazil....it should be more appropriate to call them...... the politicians servants !!!!!!!

CEO's of American major companies make millions compared to 'employees'. The contention being that their wisdom and expertise is worth the expendature. At leat get the income tax . Then throw their collective asses in jail from income tax evasion. Start from the top. Give the department of income tax a percentage of every real they collect. Motivate them. Everybody in the U.S. has both respect and fear of the IRS.

With this tax, the government may eliminate CPMF. I am very pleased that finally we are doing some brain storming. There is no point in criticizing Brazil and now you have really started giving some concrete suggestions.

However, I tend to agree with my old rival. Ch.c, when he says:

IT WOULD BE SHARED AMONGST THE POLITICIANS AS THEY DO FOR ALL OTHER TAX REVENUES !!!!!

.

I wish Ch.C wouldnt use upper case letters to make his point

AES.....THE BEST FINANCIAL EXPERT OF ALL TIMES.....WHAT ABOUT BRAZILIANS CEOs and their employees ? And what about the large farmers and their WORKERS earning
350 Reais per month OR LESS ! And what about the very large Brazilians farmers revenues compared to their slaves ??????

It happens that NO BRAZILIAN WEALTHY INDIVIDUAL, CEO OR FARMER EVER WENT TO JAIL....FOR TAX EVASION...CONTRARY TO THE USA !!!!!!

It also happens that as you probably dont know, Brazil has one of the world WORST WEALTH INEQUALITY....AS PER THE RANKINGS !!!!!
Sorry for you....this is not me who made the rankings !!!!!

I let you now continue your analysis of the USA....but please do it on a sound and fair basis comparison !!!!!!!!

Afterall Brazil and the USA have been "discovered" at around the same time ! Both had millions of slaves for centuries ! In fact Brazil had more slaves....if you look at the numbers !
And today the USA is the most developed and richest nation on earth ! What have you done since then...Brazil ????? Just copulated with slaves...to have their descendants continue to stay as your slaves ?????

Last Night on a major u.s. television program aired nightly to no less than 40 million or more viewers... a guest , an american ( actress- comedian ) was asked , how she liked her visit to R.J.

What a pity that this actress didnt bother to visit a charming person like me when she was here.If she had met me, she would have decided to make Brazil her second home

AES.....THE BEST FINANCIAL EXPERT OF ALL TIMES.....WHAT ABOUT BRAZILIANS CEOs and their employees ? And what about the large farmers and their WORKERS earning

You have called mah friend AES, an idiot several times. Now you are asking his opinion, while he is promoting the idea of jailing all those CEOs who violate the labor laws here. In mah opinion, AES has always been consistant in his viewpoints and comes out with some good suggestions to improve our economy. That is, in spite of his being an American, who lives in our country and has every right to criticize us (especially the government). You on the contrary live in Switzerland and behave as though you know everything about Brazil. Sorry,Ch.C. you could learn a lot from good ole AES.

And stop using upper case letters to make your point and also dont be monotonous. The parrot like repetition of "LAUGH,LAUGH,LAUGH" can be very irritating to the members of this elite club. Some call it clicky club,others clique club. I prefer to call it an elite think tank.

I thought your copulation days were over? Didn't you retire?

CH.C., mentioned copulation and the thought struck me, perhaps copulation is an effect of living in the Southern hemisphere??
Your idea of eliminating the CPMF tax, with a Pussy tax is "maravilhosa".
It could be called the PPK tax. (Pussy por Kilo).

I thought your copulation days were over?

Not yet.I am like that legendary two peckered Billy goat of Arizona. One pecker is gone,but the other one still funcions

I am glad that you are relearning to speak Queens English. Copulation? That is an elegant word to use instead of F*****g.

Ah, you liked my idea of eliminating CPMF with PPK. I loved the name of the new tax and I hope the Brazilian government pays you for the copyrights .

I loved the name of the new tax and I hope the Brazilian government pays you for the copyrights .

Thank you my one peckered friend!

I hope they pay me in Pussy, because candy rots your teeth!

Trying to explain Brazilian society to western Europeans and Americans can be frustrating.

John,to explain Brazilian society to Western Europeans is really frustrating and I agree with you.For example to explain to Ch.C from Switzerland is not only frustrating,but also futile.If I were you, I would give up trying.

On the contrary, we have a bunch of unruly Americans in this forum who not only understand the Brazilian society,but constantly try to explain to the Western as well as Eastern Europeans,Arabs,Chinese,Indians,Pakistanis,etc; Lately they are also getting frustrated. Of course, you know how the Americans are-absolutely patient(?).But their patience also has a limit.

BTY,your article is well written and to the point. Congrats.

Junk food obese Americans are simply envious of Brazilians and their ability to be happy regardless of all the problems Brazil has to face and are objectivley unable to understand anything about any other country due to the hilarious "education" they receive at US high schools (sport & cheerleadeading antics and something else).

Why would you do that? Trying to get a permanent card to live here and contribute to the "Bem estar do Brasil"? Go with open mind and everything will work out to be alright.

Here in the South,the weather is pretty good too.Finally the cold weather has come in and I am enjoying it. The silly tourists are all gone.It is slightly windier though. I can take easily handle the wind.

Tico knew it was Friday and Teco knew it was the 13th, but

Are these two sinister characters Tico & Teco,the two cats you have been training? They never listen to the Arizonans nor to the Brazilians

Trying to get a permanent card to live here and contribute to the "Bem estar do Brasil"?

Good guess very close the word is "Naturalization" what a strange word! It implies I am unnatural. As to contributing to Brazil that is left to be seen, if I can pass my time here without, lying, cheating or stealing, kidnapping, robbing, murdering etc. then I can add to the balance of good!
Note that I left out fornicating! Not that I have fornicated or that I will, but there is a high probability that I could, however I might if caught between a rock and a hard place!
Now considering the multitude of unforgiving Uncles, Cousins and so on, on my wife's side, It would be better to keep my Pecker in Parking!

Long live the republic!!

Are these two sinister characters Tico & Teco,the two cats you have been training? They never listen to the Arizonans nor to the Brazilians

Noooope!

Let me tell you the story. Soon after my arrival to Brazil, my ball and chain (wife) took me to the center of city in Sampa
to show me the wonders of Brazilian history. Note* that she told me not pay any attention to the Prostitutes while we
were there!
As we were mingling with the inhabitants in one of the squares, I noticed a street vendor with a push-cart, curious as I am and because of foul odor coming from the cart I decided to move in for a closer inspection.
There was a well dressed man standing there stuffing his Gob with this foul smelling spew that the vendor was selling. The man said to me "American aren't you?" I said Yep! We started to converse in my native tongue and he told me he was a Neurologist (Brain Surgeon) etc. etc.
Then he looking me in the eyes and said poor B*stard and I said why? He said you do not have the brains to live in Brazil! Being
that he was a Brain Surgeon I was curios and I said "what do you mean?"

He then explained Brazilians have 2 major Neurons, known as Tico and Teco which govern all decision making processes.
He told me Tico and Teco do not communicate very well together, so as you will come to see you will not be able to
communicate, reason, make logical decisions like a Brazilian.
At that point I said to myself, self what in the hell is he talking about? So then he continued to explain that Americans have 1 major Neuron only, and it was called Donald Duck, and all that Americans think about is trying to turn places into Disneyland! He explained further, things do not work here in Brazil like that!
Laughing, I said what should I do, do I need Brain Surgery or something?
He replied, exactly! which I replied, I think you have been standing here to long slurping down that foul smelling sh*t you have
in your hand!
He laughed and said, you got me wrong! You do not need a real surgery, you can ingest the formula that produces the Tico and Teco Neurons! He said the very same formula that you need is right in front of your nose! I replied, this foul smelling sh*t here?? Yes, he said!
I then asked what do they call it? he replied, Pamonha, it produces the Tico neuron! And you need Curau which produces the Teco neuron. He further explained it would take a few months to take affect.
So I bought a heapin handful of each and then began to stuff my Gob while holding me nose!
Low and behold two months later I awoke in the middle of the night and I realized I had been dreaming and in the dream I was speaking perfect Portuguese! Note* that this has only happened in a dream so far! So that’s how Tico and Teco come to be!
Now you probably are asking yourself, what happened to Donald Duck? Well he is still there! So now I got Tico and Teco and Donald Duck! So as you read my post here from time to time you will understand why I am a little F*cking Goofy!

Very funny,good story, thanks.

AES.....THE BEST FINANCIAL EXPERT OF ALL TIMES.....WHAT ABOUT BRAZILIANS CEOs and their employees ? And what about the large farmers and their WORKERS earning
350 Reais per month OR LESS !

You are out of your mind! How much do you think an engineer makes!? Surely way more than 10x that. Even for a simple employee with high school only, it will between 2x or 3x that, sometimes more, depending on what type of work he does and where he lives.

The rest of your text is pure hate, as usual. The same disinformation campaign against Brazil. Maybe what you mean is that people shouldn't "copulate" with slaves, keep them segregated just like the Nazis did, and then invade other countries for profit, for boosting the economy.

Humm. No, thanks.

Good guess very close the word is "Naturalization" what a strange word! It implies I am unnatural. As to contributing to Brazil that is left to be seen, if I can pass my time here without, lying, cheating or stealing, kidnapping, robbing, murdering etc. then I can add to the balance of good!

I must admit that I am surprised that you want to become a naturalized citizen of this great Republic and continue contributing to the well beings of your kith and kin from your wife´s side as well as to the greater glories of your new "Patria". I am surprised for the simple reason that you are the first American I have coem across that wants to become a naturalized citizen.Not many foreigners I know want to for as, permanent residents,they enjoy all the rights and obligations of a Brazilian citizen (That include paying taxes, getting parking and speeding tickets,getting laid,etc.Of course for certain government jobs you need to be a born or naturalized citizen.

I guess you have your own reasons and I wish you all the best.After you become a citizen you can yell and scream in this forum and claim that it is your "Naturalized rights" as a Brazilian citizen to do so.

All the best and I dont think that there would be any problems in getting your citizenship.

That seems to just another racist comment, because you will only see prostitutes in specific areas of the town, and those aren't the prettiest parts. If that happens to be true, which I think it is unlikely, then this fundamentalist puritan american woman, not used to see bikinis, deduced those were "whores".

Good guess very close the word is "Naturalization" what a strange word! It implies I am unnatural.

No. The term "ser natural de ..." is common and means that the person is from a certain place. Naturalizar would mean that now that the person is considered to be from here, not from anywhere else.

Hi Prof,

I hereby declare that due to a congenital defect, I was born without any neurons-Tico nor Teco. Large intake of Pamonha and Curau didnt help either. So I learnt how to live without Tico and Teco.I am amazed that without a single neuron, I still function well (in all aspects).

That was a good yarn,Professor.

And corn flavored ice cream. I have been by that place once or twice on the road from Rio to SP, that sells everything made from corn.

Makes me want to puke just thinking about it.

If you like it, visit the Corn Palace in Mitchell, either SD or Neb.

No. The term "ser natural de ..." is common and means that the person is from a certain place. Naturalizar would mean that now that the person is considered to be from here, not from anywhere else.

I have the feeling thou that a once a Gringo always a Gringo!
Reminds me of in the U.S. where ever you went the signs said Used Cars where ever used cars were sold. Then they changed the name to Pre-owned Cars to make buying a used car more chic!
However they were still used cars.
Now if you married a woman who had been married before would she be a used wife or a pre-owned wife?
So just possibly in the future if some one asks me you an American or Brazilian I will say I am
Au Natural! Ha!

All the best and I dont think that there would be any problems in getting your citizenship.
Thanks, João! Bureaucracy in Brazil is like refining silver, if you can pass through the fire you are sure to come out the other end better than you were!
There are some small advantages in becoming a citizen. If you plan on living in Brazil with no intention of leaving those who have an RNE must renew their RNE something like every 8 years(or abouts?) in order to retain your RNE you must maintain the circumstances in which you first applied for the Permanent resident status, such as based on Marriage.
If in event that your circumstance change, such as divorce or separation or death then you need to reapply for your Permanent resident status.
In the short term and long term it can decrease the amount of bureaucracy.

Secondly I can get a Brazilian Passport then I can go through the same line as my wife at customs when re-entering Brazil. (Convenience!)

Much as I hate to say this, I can then vote.
This will satisfy my sadistic tendencies!

I believe if a person plans on making a new country his home, then he should participate
just as if he had been born in that country.

There are many reasons for and against I would imagine.

Where ever you store your treasures there your heart will be also! My treasures are in heaven
but I have one remaining here in Brazil!

That is another good question,though U.S. guest will not answer. Our bikinis are very nice and sensual.If one thinks well, we take the skimpy bikinis to be part of our culture.What a pity, that American actress dind have an opportunity to wear the proper bikinis and swim in the warm waters of the South Atlantic Ocean. It is so refreshing and soothing.

Of course, the gringos are more concerned about "farra do boi" than enjoying the nature.

Professor,AES,Ric,Bo, etc;, I am really hurt with the statements made by that guy GTY/Yanksuck/Pinga,etc; about my beloved state.

AES & Prof,lets get this f****r.

Glad you liked the Tall-Tale best I could do as an Arizonan, not quite to Texas Specs thou!

João, probably the more neurons one has the more chances they have of F*cking something up!
Maybe you got ahold of a bad batch of Pamonha and Curau, maybe that stuff from Paraguay!

Glad you liked the Tall-Tale best I could do as an Arizonan, not quite to Texas Specs thou

I loved it and is as good as the yarns from the Texans.One of my best friends in this world was a f****g Texan.I say "WAS",because he passed away last year here in Southern Brazil. He gave me an advice when we were young and foolish. "John, when some one tries to piss you off,better eat lots of beans and give loud farts".BTW, that Texan contributed to the betterment of University education in this country. He was not too educated. He just had a P.hD from the U of Houston.

I'm glad you lost your boat, I'm glad they won't let your wife immigrate, we need more unskilled Brazilian's like a hole in the head (just for you). I really hope that you step on a blowfish down in Belize, that it infect slowly and you fade away into the jungle. Stay down there, don't come home, you are no longer an American, you would just be a burden on the system, I would rather see my tax dollars go to help real patriots, and you are no longer welcome. Now that Brazil and the US have put you out, where next? Finally, and I will post no more, I think you are a huge bulls**tter, bulls**tting everyone as a 16 year old moron who is posting as you, your boat captain, your friends and God knows what else. The joke may be on everyone else, but not on me. Go f**k yourself.

João, unfortunately the consistant denial of tragic realities in brazil, and the attempt at justifying them by stating their existance in other countries by Abe Razillion has elicited Pinga's responses. And in all fairness, I can't see one place where he has exagerrated or been innacurate.

"Up North", for the assurance that you will not post anymore; however, thanx also for the laffs as you pontificated on "spelling errors" and yet in a couple of paragraphs, write "whinning; Brazilian´s (with no possessive); strucuture; definatly".

you must be a rican

not wingin just speaking my peace , with out using words people of respect do not use in a public form .

I WISH people would spend more time on what realy counts than my spelling and gramer .
its seams like the little things that sets small minded people off the most

Let´s see, I have a card from the AOPA, one from the Good Sam Club, Drver Payback card from Pilot Truck Stops, AT&T Calling Card, Library Card from Santa Maria Library.

With my shades and full tank of gas, I guess I´m good to go for the trip to Chicago.

then back to the ocean life .

"I NEVER SAW SO MANY WHORES (prostitutes) IN MY LIFE.... ,!!!!....THAT WAS HER IMPRESSION... She indicated it was her first and undoubtedly last trip to Brazil"

First I would hazard to guess that she stayed at what was once the Meridian, or possibly the Rio International or the Excelsior. Not much close to those resembling the Rio and surrounding areas I know, pretty much the pro center muito famosa Prado Junior neighborhood. Wish I could have taken her about to meet a few people and get to know them instead of just reacting to the visual and disdain for the livelyhood being made in the tourist zone after dark. There's at least one or two I would have been willing to ask to skip work and help me show her that they are quite human underneath it all. When business is bad and they're under stress I have no problem passing them R$20/$R30/R$50 to help out (and they know very well not to bother trying to trick me, I never do that). Sometimes the money goes to help a friend of a friend that would likely be doing anything (and I really mean anything) for the same amount just so they could be going back to her own city and kids. Tis very sad but wherein I was once so very offended the first time I ran into a prostitute trying to get a gig at a bar in Texas, I have developed a thicker hide, learned to have a bit more fealty and look beyond what one does to see who one is. From the true beach bums (20 years with the forest being their only house), to the poors, beggars, street hawkers, pro's, barmaids, waiters, maitre d's, chefs, artisans, buisness owners, lawyers, doctor's, and so on, I see nothing that makes me uncomfortable / makes me want to do anything other than to return permanently.

Ric, you flying up private or cargo? Can I catch a ride back? I'll kick in a bit for the jet-A.

She obviously has never been to Amsterdam. I used to laugh watching the uptight 'pinch pussy' American girls giggling and cackling. How intimidated they were by the fact that it was so ordinary, and how beautiful so many of the Scandinavians that had come down to make some tuition money for the summer were. That sex was a biological function, like eating in a restaurant. The food in some restaurants is better than others, and some are haute cuisine. It was merely a commodity, to be bought and sold, or not,it was not an issue for religious or moral outrage. How provincial. They eat with their hands in the Middle East ugh. And they use a spoon to eat out of a common bowl in Thailand, uch. Lord save me from the opinions of others. Spare me your f**king criticism.

When I lived the barracks life, my room-mate would pop across the channel to Amsterdam with a quick return with a 3-months personal supply of Red Lebanese or Black Kabul hash. He mentioned about the wonderful ladies in Amsterdam frequently, however he only "window' shopped! I almost went once just to have a look see.

Big Sam left Seattle in the year of '92,
With George Pratt, his partner, and brother, Billy, too.
They crossed the Yukon River and found the bonanza gold.
Below that old white mountain just a little south-east of Nome.

Sam crossed the majestic mountains to the valleys far below.
He talked to his team of huskies as he mushed on through the snow.
With the northern lights a-running wild in the land of the midnight sun,
Yes, Sam McCord was a mighty man in the year of nineteen-one.

Where the river is winding,
Big nuggets they're finding.
North to Alaska,
They're goin' North, the rush is on.

Way up north, (North To Alaska.)

George turned to Sam with his gold in his hand,
Said: "Sam you're a-lookin'at a lonely, lonely man.
"I'd trade all the gold that's buried in this land,
"For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Ginnie's hand.

"'Cos a man needs a woman to love him all the time.
"Remember, Sam, a true love is so hard to find.
"I'd build for my Ginnie, a honeymoon home.
"Below that old white mountain just a little south-east of Nome."

There is the concept of 'self actualization' by Maslow. We are all responsible for ourselves. We cause our lives, we choose our lives, or we let our lives choose us. To act rather than re act. When you reach a certain level of responsibility, ie children or business, and become responsible for it all,ie the boss or director, then there are certain truths, and mental illness or self indulgence is not one of them. There is a kind of black and white rigidity, a thing is true or not, the world functions by reason or logic or it does not. I have listened as a boss to a litany of excuse, and the most visceral response is shut the f**k up already, get the f**k out of here, your fired. And the business world and certainly to a great extent the world in the U.S. works that way. There is so much opportunity in the U.S. that to hear whining of any kind or excuse making is counter intuitive. It is certainly counter profit line. We are not all saints, and have our own agendas, personal and economic and the misery of others, ie compassion often has its emotional limits. Economic truth is a tough task master. Empathy and business are often in counter polarity. We give what we can, we give what we do.

Taking the defebse of AES who is a cheater and a liar, doesnt surprise me from a Brazilian.
Are you not doing the same with Lula and his gang of corrupted to the roots ??????

It remains that you Joao is not very experienced...in finances !
You congratulated AES with his clever investments.
It happens that ALL his invstments were wrong and some were...only virtual !
As I said AES could not have sold gold at 820.- during the last 25 years !!!!! Simple as that !

Usually 2 idiots go along very well. Either they dont know what they are talking or one can lie to the other who would trust him anyway !

AES and you really make a.....dream team...of idiots and cheaters !!!!!

Ohhhh in your dream team...I forgot to include Lula and your Pampers wearing Minister....Pires !!!!!!

No, Ch.c , we are of elite club but not junkies. We dont get insulted by your statements. You do make lots of interesting points,but without giving statrategic solutions.Of course, in a month or two, you will belong to this exclusive club. One great step you have taken is not to do your postings in Upper case letters.Thats for starters. My congrats.

I dont think that you saw my reply about your post re the sugar and rice trade between Brazil,India, Thailand,etc; BTW, you asked a very relevant question.

And Ch.C, never ever post any comment on uppercase letters. You take care and enjoy the week end

One great step you have taken is not to do your postings in Upper case letters.

Amen!

I would also suggest that you limit your ?????? and !!!! to a maximum of 3.
Perhaps this would work as well: ∞? or ∞!

There is the concept of 'self actualization' by Maslow

Hi AES,good to hear from you.

Maslow´s theory was and is still interesting. He explained it in a pyramid (Correct me if my spelling is incorrect). At the top of the pyramid is self actualization needs. A sense of belonging . Probably Bill Gates is at the top of this pyramid.

Before him, there was this F.W.Taylor,who was supposed to be one of the founding fathers of Industrial Engineering (in late 1800's). He invented a character by the name of Mr.Schmidt of Bethlehem steel in PA. Taylor considered Schmidt to be a moron and insisted that such people had to be taught how to use all their limbs to increase the productivity in a factory. When I was young and foolish, I almost bought this theory.I say,almost,because I was not totally convinced.

Then I came to read about Maslow and he made lot more sense than Taylor. You would be surprised and pleased to know that by applying Maslow´s theory in a working environment,one can get lots of things done.

What bothers me in these days in our country is that they are all listening more to Taylor than to Maslow.BTW,our President reminds me so much of Mr.Schmidt of Bethlem Steel.

Anyway, it was good to hear from you.

My Dear Mongo: I said I sold gold at $825 in December of '79. I told you in a post that I was a manufacturer of gold jewelry and had stopped buying gold between $275 and $450 melted it at $825 and went and opened a jewelry store at the Kings Village,Hyatt Regency, Waikiki in 1980; and stayed there for ten years, manufacturing and retailing gold jewelry. If you can find any post where I said I sold gold for $850 prior to 1980, I would be happy to 'eat crow'. Now stop being a 'gopferteckel Troll'. BTW I was born in '44.
I was born in '44.

AES, enjoyed your post on Maslow.

Taking the defebse of AES who is a cheater and a liar, doesnt surprise me from a Brazilian

AES is not a liar and a cheater.BTW, he is not a Brazilian either. He is an American. Since I am in a good today,I am not going to scold you either. Let me narrate something about the world economy in the 70's:

In 1973, there was the first oil crisis and the OPEC brought the entire world to their knees.Probably you were not even born at that time.Again there was another crisis in 1979.The price per barrel of the "black gold" spiralled beyond the forecast of the pundits in the oil business.The price of real gold skyrocketed and I do not remember to what price per ounce it came to,but I believe AES,though I dont remember if he said per ounce or 10 gms.And do you know something? Many made lots of money buying gold when the price was low and selling it at the peak. AES manufactured jewellery and sold it for a nice price (As you fondly like to say added value to the raw material). To be honest, you being an economist should be able to research further about this historical evolution of price of real gold as well as black gold.

I forgot to include Lula and your Pampers wearing Minister....Pires !!!!!!


Thanks for remembering our President and the Defense minister. The next time I meet them I will give them your regards. BTW, if you want to peddle armaments to Brazil, bring boxes of diapers as gifts to the latter.

The New York Times, Jan. 22, 1980:

"The price of gold soared as high as $875 an ounce yesterday before dropping back by $50 or more in late New York trading…

"In Zurich, dealers said gold buying was spurred by rumors that the Russians were building up their strength in Southern Yemen near Saudi Arabia, near Afghanistan's border with Iran and near Bulgaria's border with Yugoslavia, where 87-year-old President Tito is in poor health.

Hi AES,

Thanks for refreshing my memory. If Ch.C doesn't believe it, he is moving with the masses.

Not all made the correct decisions back then. In lieu of the bullion some put thier investment capitol into the miners stock which due to poor understanding / research of what non-publicly disclosed pre-production pre-negotiated contract price / sales arrangements might mean lead them to loose thier shirts. If it weren't for some shenannigans which went on much after this period, the subsequently worthless stock I had and held to the very end would have actually left me holding a very very lucrative position in a company that picked up stakes and went to Brazil. You win some and you loose some and it's pure luck if your guess at when to get in or out is the right choice at the right time.

One has to apply Dollar Cost Averaging to metals investments, instead of trying to sense dips and peaks.

Ric - thought you were already gone / on the move. Visa expires early next month - you can arrange to have me picked up in chi town or no?

It was 33, including himself, not 22. And, those 33 will be including in the roughly 14,000 murders that will occur in the U.S. in 2007. The question is, when will brazil break the 60,000 murders per year mark?

Brazilians are sane?

Rich Americans are happy about the social situation as it is. They send their kids to private schools/university and have the right insurance for private hospitals so they and their kids don't have to mingle with poor Ameiricans and they're not willing to spend one dime on providing social services to poor americans (not even when these areas are ravaged by natural disasters like katrina). Rich americans are happy to spend 2 dollars on new jails to put as many poor people in rather than being taxed 1 dollar for social services they do not need (their junk-food polluted brain not being able to see the ultimate link between taxes for social services and the amelioration of the overall social situation in the US). Give them a stroll at the mall and a big smelly burger and they'll be happy.

The guy was a South Korean, English major suffering from unrequited love. I was surprised he as a foreign national, could purchase a Glock. Well the price of freedom is often death.

32 innocents and himself.

Guess it's only the Koreans (or other fill in the blank for what you want to say with no knowledge for what you say GS) in America who are sane. Solution to many of Brazil's issues with the poor, uneducated, criminally inclined, corrupt, greedy, etc., is coming and coming very soon. For this I am disheartened as it will not come peaceably.

Tis for unrequited love that man will have for his choice his destiny.

At least the murders in Brazil have a big reason behind which is poverty. People that have no hope of a future much different from many shootings that occur in the US at schools often populated by middle class and rich kids.
What are their excuse? I never heard of nothing similar occuring in private or big universities in Brazil. The murders in Brazil normally are because of money, a robberies gone wrong, shootouts between cops and bandits, etc.

Please Ana, think we've went over this before. These kinds of things, although rare anywhere, including the U.S., can and do happen anywhere. Not too long ago a brazilian teenager murdered his parents and grandparents, wasn't poor and for no apparent reason. Don't act like all the crime is in brazil is 100% related to poverty. There are thousands upon thousands of women murdered in this country by their husbands or lovers. Just happened in my city this past Friday. And the leading cause of death for women in Recife is violence, and the vast majority are domestic disputes.

And by the way, this guy was a Korean with a green card. The "anti immigration" people will have a field day with this one. Wouldn't expect it to make your situation any better. BTW, did your strip club get rebuilt yet? Those fires sure can be tricky but I'm sure the owner had excellent insurance coverage.

And weren't you the one that was ranting about how there are so many child molestors in the U.S. and that type of thing doesn't happen in brazil, and a week later a man in brazil rapes and kills an 18 month old baby in a church and leaves her in the baptismal basin during services?

The British Empire and most of Europe parasite got rich in the world poor thru colonization for almost 300 years and the guy come here to say that is hard to explain basic exploitation

LOLLLLLLLLLLL

You must be crazy Mr FITZ

I received my first personal loans when I was 32 and it aided me a lot. Nevertheless, I require the credit loan once again.
