Brazzil

Your written laws are written on toilet paper ! You use them and then flush !

Viva the Brazilian Constitution !!!!!

Slavery is outlawed for over 100 years, but you still free 1000 slaves or so every year. Who already went to jail ? NO ONE...despite the laws !
And these 1000 or so slaves freed are obviously replaced by another 1000 the following week of course !!!!!!

Meaning slavery will continue until the next Millenium.
And your total of "admitted" number of slaves should be MULTIPLIED by a factor of TEN as per many Brazilians & Foreign NGOs.
Everyone knows where the slaves are.
Just consult the Internet, the various NGOs, the churches !!!
They will tell your police forces EXACTLY where they are.
Funny then that your police forces CANT LOCATE THEM !!!!!!

A REAL JOKE....your fight against slavery !!!!!!!

Wonderful article, easy to read and very informative, thanks!!

Thanks for the historical perspective.

Delightful read Sr Zimmerman. I see some things I've encountered much differently now than I did then. Thanks.

The beginning of the end is near but americans should not worry about drowning… Remember, s.h.i.t. floats!

After carefull analysis of the xenophobic blather issuing fro the resident troll, I have been ble to construct this psychological profile which has an accuracy of 93 plus or minus 2.5%.

1) You're a spoiled "Daddy's boy" who went to USP.
2) You're an avoid communist, not because you understand anything about politics, its just the macho/xenophobic thing to do.
3) You have at least 2 Che t-shirts and a very large Che poster, which curiously, you keep in your bedroom, probably for auto-erotic purposes.
4) You claim to be an environmentalist, however the beat-up Gurgel you drive, spits out thick black smoke wherever you go.
5) You make a career out of proclaiming the imminent demise of the US....(any day now!! I tell you!!!)
6) You firmly believe that the US has a secret base hidden in the Amazon, used to steal gold and oil.....you know this because the "drug-dealers told you"
7) You have scraggy unkempt long hair, and a ridiculous scraggier goatee.
You sign in under various names on blogs to give your stupid blather the illusion of popular support

It is not in the next 70 years that 1 trillion US$ will be the equivalent of ONE Brazilian Real

But......in the last 70 years it is 1 trillion Brazilian Reais that became...ONE US$ !!!!!

To my knowledge the USA have never yet taken 3 zeroes out of their currency.
To my knoweldge Brazil already had taken 3 zeroes out of their currency...4 TIMES !!!!!!! Or taken out.....TWELVE ZEROES !!!!!!

It is not the USA who has historically the World Worst inflation rate.
It is Brazil who has the World Worst inflation rate.....from 1940 to 2007 totalling....WITH AN AVERAGE OF.....400 % PER YEAR !!

Short memory on purpose ?????
Some more fertilizers may help recover what is lacking !

Conclusions : I wonder where the s.h.i.t is !!!!!!!!

Brazil is like the Atlantide.....long time not seen !
Brazil is an utopia.......it is not real !

Brazil should change the name of its currency to.... Brazilian Not Real !!!!

There is this beautiful Brasilian model referred to as “Cajuína”… But since the topic here is SHELLY, I am going to call her as “Cachorrina.”

Here here, Shelly…. Good doggy! You are due for your yearly Rabies Shot…

I love you, CACHORRINA!

While I was reading this editorial, I was reminded of one the main reasons behind my election to the leave Brazil several years ago… The annoying proclivity where most individuals attempt to bypass rules, laws and regulations by asking for a “little way” or “um jeitinho”, particularly when combined with Brazilians natural promiscuity.

In fact this annoying expression, which is omnipresent in the country, and is heard quite often, and at any given time, is particularly prevalent among the young, attractive people who are generally successful in combining their sex-appeal to entice Brazilians’ inborn promiscuity along with their natural inclination for “ignoring codes & rules” whenever appropriate, so they can reach certain goals or obtain access to certain places…

In fact, I can still hear in my mind that “annoying plead” with strong Carioca accent:
“Moço, dá um jeitinho, heim?” = “Hey man, can you find a quick work around”??? (as they flick their pretty eyes, which… depending on the eyes, as well as on the “flicking”, you often find yourself nearly at their mercy, and comply with their request)

I truly could never tolerate this unforgivable Brazilian trait, which, most of us (myself included) have utilized at least once in order to bypass regulations and get what you want…

The most adhered to law in Brazil is Gerson's Law: "I always want to have the upper hand".

Is a joke here in Brazil. It's been my impression since the beginning and has been reinforced on a daily basis over the last 10 years.

A good friend of mine who is a federal prosecutor recently told me that Lula was going to sign a decree before he leaves office that will prohibit foreigners from owner land in front of the beach that contains terreno da marinha, which naturally is owned by Brazil. I hope he does. Then the gringos can pack up, no longer invest in brazil, and let the people here drown in their own fesces.
